Make your trip to Norfolk an unforgettable one when staying in this delightful seaside property. Boasting everything you may need for an unbeatable stay on the coast, we couldn’t think of a better base than this delectable bungalow. Within effortless reach of Thornham (1.5 miles) and Holme-next-the-Sea (1 mile), a stay here offers you the chance to sit back and appreciate the slower pace of Norfolk village life. Step out and discover walks on the dog-friendly sands of Holme Beach (1 mile) or the ever-popular Brancaster Beach (4.5 miles), always keeping your eyes peeled for birdlife on the shores and in the skies. Head to nearby Hunstanton (3 miles) with its traditional seaside fare and SEAlife centre for a thrilling afternoon out, or visit the Norfolk Lavender Farm (5 miles) for some serious relaxation.

All laid out across one floor, this bungalow provides a versatile space for four guests to feel instantly at home. Enter via the hallway and instantly find two spaces to relax in, a cosy lounge and a suntrap conservatory. Complete with a glass ceiling and vast windows, the conservatory is the place to be when the weather is warm. Throw open the patio doors to offer a breath of fresh air to this lounge/diner space. There’s a selection of cushy seating, a Smart TV and a dining table for all to enjoy. The group’s designated chef will no doubt enjoy cooking up a storm in the adjacent kitchen. This room features a breakfast bar and a cosy wood burner for sitting down to breakfast throughout cooler mornings. An additional wood burner can also be found in the lounge. Here you’ll discover a pretty space with more seating options, and a Smart TV for staying entertained. As the day draws to a close, two bedrooms await along the corridor. The first of these bedrooms is a double with a comfortable bed to sink into. The second is a king with zip-and-link beds to be made up as a twin if requested. Two separate bathrooms complete the accommodation's offering. The first is a shower room with WC, the second is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC.

Wrap-around gardens offer plenty of space to enjoy the warm weather during sunny stays. Set to lawn and fully enclosed, this area is dotted with mature shrubs and pretty flowers which bloom throughout the year. Find outdoor furniture and a BBQ on-hand for your use, along with a gated driveway providing off-road parking for up to six cars.

We've stayed at Waxwings several times before first in 2019. We love the location of the property and find it handy for all the places we like to visit. The furniture is a little tired and worn now and on this occasion a cleaning issue made things difficult. The garden was beautiful and in full bloom during our stay.

Lovely place, ideal location and a superb garden for the dogs. You may want to bring your own towels as the supplied towels were small. Overall, a lovely place to stay.

Gorgeous property, beautifully decorated and well equipped. Weve stayed twice now and already have a booking to return in July. We love the location, nearby walks and the local farm shop is absolutely fantastic. The cozy living room was decorated for Christmas which was much appreciated.

The property is elegantly furnished and was always comfortably warm with plenty of hot water. The garden is spacious, fenced and therefore ideal for dogs. The garden room with its glass roof was particularly impressive. We even saw migrating pink-footed geese! Location is very good with only a short drive to the nearest beach.

The cottage was under-resourced. Small bath towels ( had to buy large ones), no replacement bin bags ( had to buy) no RinseAid that seemed needed by dishwasher which did not appear to have recommended 7 as a setting....hand washed everything. The second bathroom so distant from bedrooms was awkward and not in a good position directly off lounge.

On the whole everything was perfect only downside we could not walk from the property due to no path therefore had to use the car every time. Couldnt just walk the dogs, road too dangerous.

Property was extremely comfortable and wonderfully warm. Perfect. Only negative is the road. It is the busy A149 without pavement so rather scary to negotiate particularly with a dog.
