About this property

This comfortable, detached holiday cottage is conveniently located in a quiet estate in Brancaster Staithe, just off the main coast road linking many of the beautiful seaside villages of Norfolk. Set midway between popular Hunstanton and Wells-by-the-Sea, this welcoming holiday cottage is just a few minutes’ walk to a selection of amenities, including a well-loved gastropub, and provides friends and families with a wonderful location for a North Norfolk holiday. This cottage has three comfortable bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, along with a family shower room and a second shower room on the ground floor. The sitting room looks over the enclosed rear garden, which is ideal for relaxing in after a day on the beach or out exploring, whilst on cooler evenings you can relish the warmth of the electric stove in the sitting room. Close by is a good selection of independent shops along with a café and the famous Fish Shed, where you can pick up some excellent seafood. You don’t need to venture far from this wonderful location, as an extensive sandy beach, perfect for a sunny, fun-filled day with the little ones, and access to the harbour, ideal for sailing are both close by.

A birdwatchers paradise, there are 3 bird sanctuaries within 5 miles of the property. The salt marshes can be found on the opposite side of the main road and are within 400 yards of the property. Here you will find an amazing collection of bird life. Further over the mud flats and over the far side of the marsh is Scolt Head, where other rare species may be spotted. A large colony of little terns only a mile away, and the extensive footpaths, including the North Norfolk Coastal Path only 300 yards away provide excellent walking opportunities. Why not visit the numerous coastal villages nearby by bike, with an extensive selection of pub pit stops for respite? Within just a short drive you can spot seals basking on the sands at Blakeney, enjoy excellent shopping facilities at Burnham Market, try out the golf course at Brancaster, just two miles away and discover the stunning sands at Brancaster, Thornham and Holkham. This Norfolk holiday cottage sits in a truly outstanding location, and is perfect for families wishing to holiday on the North Norfolk Coast.

The small fishing village of Brancaster Staithe, set between popular Hunstanton and Wells-next-the-Sea, can be found in the heart of the North Norfolk Coast, on the main tourist route through this wonderful part of the world. Village life centres around the harbour and its thriving fishing and sailing, kayaking and kite surfing community. There are stunning sandy beaches to behold, but also salt marshes bursting with rare plant and animal life and endless footpath routes running the 47 miles along the Norfolk Coast, making this a perfect destination for walkers, birdwatchers, painters and photographers alike. Whatever time of year you decide to visit, with an array of beautiful beaches on the doorstep, Brancaster Staithe is an excellent choice for your Norfolk holiday.

    Good range of provisions . We (plus dog ) had a great time . Thank you

  • Heather

    Cleaning was hit n miss, cobwebs and dust. Windows desperately need cleaning. All Sanitary ware was very clean. Towels good. Duvet in main bedroom was thin and lumpy and needs replacing. Our dogs are small poodles that don’t shed, but clearly previous guests had different dogs and an upright vacuum cleaner would be helpful for dog hair. Cylinder cleaner was full, perhaps cleaner should empty? Kitchen equipment good. We would book again but it needs a deep clean, perhaps hard floor throughout would be more practical for a holiday let?

    and bird spotting. However, the carpet throughout needs a professional clean and the en-suite bathroom needs a new sink tap and new flooring.We had to make a temporary repair to the vacuum cleaner ,as the bag inside was split . Generally, needs some updating but otherwise, comfortable place to stay.
