Suitable only for younger and/or agile people. A lot of driving to reach anywhere of interest although nearby beaches are beautiful.

A lovely welcoming cottage ....helped along by the thoughtful welcome pack. The peaceful setting was a delight especially in the morning sun with a coffee in the garden. The kids loved watching the bunnies hopping around the green area in the village. It was a wonderful place to stay for our first trip to Norfolk. Brancaster was our fave beach to gRead moreo to (sandy beach, car park next to beach& cafe /kiosk), although other beaches were also equally accessible! Great crabbing at Wells Harbour too Hide

Monks Cottage is in an idyllic location, very peaceful and with a beautiful outlook to Our Lady St Mary. Its nicely furnished, with a comfy leather suite in the sitting room, lots of books and some very nice pictures. Bathroom is spacious and the shower works well. Kitchen is well equipped, though some egg cups would be nice. The breakfast bar is aRead more little cramped for more than two. The beds are comfortable. The staircase is quite steep and curved, perhaps a challenge to the less mobile. Hide
