The reverse-level design makes the most of the fantastic views of the countryside around this pretty Norfolk cottage. With direct access to the creek and marshes, let your dog take the lead and start and finish your day with leisurely walks, to get that tail wagging. Fetch, run, scamper, bound and leap to make the most of the open space that this coastal retreat has to offer.

Sleeping four, plus two four-legged friends, this property is ideal for a small family or four friends looking to explore all that Norfolk has to offer. After a day of playing exhilarating fetch on the beach and trotting through beautiful woodland, you will all enjoy returning to this chic yet welcoming holiday home. Contemporary furnishings give a stylish finish to the open-plan living space. Bright and airy as light floods through the double doors, it becomes a cosy haven as the night draws in. With the wood burner lit, your tufty-pawed comrade will soon be in bliss with a snooze in pole position. On warm evenings, enjoy your meals with the double doors open onto the Juliet balcony breathing in the fresh sea air, or dine alfresco on the patio as your canine chum potters around in delight.

The pretty coastal village of Brancaster Staithe has a local shop, pub and a harbour where you can take boat trips around the coast and to Scolt Head Island, home to an abundance of wildlife. Race the waves on the sandy beaches of Holkham (7.5 miles), Hunstanton (8.5 miles), and Wells-next-the-Sea (9 miles). For hours of on-lead walks visit Holkam Hall’s 3000 acres of parkland (7.5 miles); off-lead at Barrow Common (1.5 miles) has fantastic views of marshes and the sea or discover the steep sided valley and chalk grassland at Ringstead Downs (8 miles).

Pleasant cottage in a super location. Lovely open view across the marshland brought in lots of light even on dull days. The local Oyster Event was taking place in the pub next door for the first few days which made the village much busier but meant that we heard some lovely live music.

A lovely, well equipped cottage in a great location. The view from the dining area on the first floor is amazing and there is easy access to the coast path and wonderful walks. The bedrooms are compact, so it would be a bit cramped for four adults (although two showers are a bonus). It is situated on the main road, so having ground floor bedroom wiRead morendows open in the summer may be a bit off-putting for some. Hide

Discovered, loved and visited Norfolk since late 90s, owning a static there in the 00s. This is our most favourite, beautiful place to stay. Birders have Snettisham, Titchwell and Cley in easy distance with beautiful routes. Add Holt, Castle Acre,Castle Rising and all around Sandringham very close.. cannot fault Norfolk or this cottage in any way.
