This charming cottage is in the centre of Briston and is proximal to the local village store and pubs. Briston is a thriving village and the perfect starting point for a North Norfolk holiday. The surrounding countryside is great for walking, cycling, riding and birdwatching; just wander down any of the many quiet lanes in this area and you’ll find adventure. Venture a little further afield to discover the delightful Georgian town of Holt (4 miles) with its cafe culture, art and antique galleries and boutique shopping. From here, you can take the small gauge steam railway on the coastal line to the lovely seaside town of Sheringham or take the car to the Victorian cliff-top coastal town of Cromer (13 miles) with its famous pier, sandy beach and traditional seaside attractions.

An eclectic mix of furniture gives this quaint cottage a fun vintage feel. Enter into the modern bespoke kitchen with everything you need to serve up a delicious home-cooked meal. The open-plan living/dining area is perfect for socialising and relaxing after long days of exploring. In the cooler months, light the wood burner and get cosy in the evenings chatting, eating and drinking. A downstairs shower room completes the ground floor. Head upstairs and you will find three comfortable bedrooms: two with double beds, and a triple room with bunk beds and an additional single bed. There is also a family bathroom on this floor.

Outside offers a good-sized, fully enclosed, lawned garden with garden furniture and charcoal BBQ. Enjoy the clean Norfolk air and dine alfresco or catch the morning sun with a good book and a cuppa.

The picturesque village of Briston has some great places to eat and drink, and is surrounded by glorious countryside perfect for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. To the north, the quaint Georgian town of Holt is home to many boutique shops, cafes and art galleries, the North Norfolk Railway and the lovely Holt Country Park. Fakenham (10 miles) is a friendly and historic market town, famous for its racecourse and the stunning Pensthorpe Natural Park. Foxley Wood, Blickling Hall and Baconsthorpe Castle are all within 8 miles.

We loved the vibe of this cottage and the location is great for a number of Norfolk beaches and for visiting Norwich and other areas of Norfolk. There are two very low doorways, so just be aware! Other than that, this suited us very well for a group of 7 for a week, especially with the fully equipped kitchen and two bathrooms. We loved the large gaRead moremes cupboard. Hide

The cottage was a good place to stay, and the garden space was great. Briston is well served with shops and a pub. It's close to the sea and other attractions.

As mentioned on the details it should be noted that the stairs are very steep and quite narrow. The entrance to the cottage is very low, it's easy to bang your head if you're not paying full atention.

We stayed over Christmas and loved every bit of it. The village is lovely and people so friendly. We found everything you could ever need whatever time of year there is everything for children. My grandaughter loved the games cupboard and other toys.
