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).

A super, cosy cottage in a stunning location, we didnt want to leave! Everything was clean, tidy and well equipped. Comprehensive folder of notes/rules was very helpful. The access for parking at the rear of the property was fine for our large SUV. We will definitely return.

We've had a lovely week at Thompsons, the cottage was very comfortable although it did take little while for us to get used to the idea that it was upside down living with the bedrooms downstairs and the living room/kitchen upstairs to take advantage of the views.

This is our second stay at Thompsons and I would recommend it. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay for 2 adults and 1 child. A great location within walking distance to pubs and cafe. A special view over the marshes really adds a shine to the holiday.

This cottage looks good and is in a beautiful location. It is well equipped except there is no freezer. The floors are all hard, even on the stairs, so they can be slippery. Parking the car was awkward. There is only room for a small car really so my JaguarF-pace was a nightmare. The bathrooms are small and under equipped.

The cottage is just about perfect; the owners have clearly put in a lot of thought and effort to make it a true home away from home. We have never returned to the same place, but we just might make an exception and visit Thompson's and the delightful area again! 10 out of 10, unconditional recommendation!

A fabulous cottage, cleverly remodelled to make the best of the view and all furniture and fittings are high quality.
