  • A quintessential English country-cottage, beautifully refurbished with careful attention to detail
  • Indulge in some al fresco dining or relax on a lounger in the pretty garden
  • Originally two 19th-century cottages, there’s enough space for up to eight guests to stay comfortably

Property code: OC-2179

Sleeping up to eight guests across five bedrooms, this property is ideal for families or groups of friends looking to enjoy quality time together whilst exploring the stunning Norfolk coastline. Situated in the historic village of Wighton, you can enjoy the tranquil, rural setting, but also make the most of the busy coastal towns and villages. Walk to the local pub (approx. 300 metres) for meals without the washing up! Golden sand awaits you at Wells-next-the-Sea (4.5 miles) and Holkham (5 miles), both of which are backed by pine woods and trails. Coastal village Cley-next-the-Sea (9 miles) has an 18th-century windmill and a visitor centre for its nature reserve, whilst at Morston Quay (6.5 miles) you can take a boat trip to Blakeney Point to see seals and rare visiting seabirds.

Sympathetically renovated, this charming cottage effortlessly blends original features with a mixture of traditional and contemporary fixtures and fittings to create a truly unique and welcoming home. On the ground floor, you’ll find the cosy lounge with a feature fireplace with wood burner, for those colder evenings. Sofas, stools and window seats provide ample seating for everyone to gather round and spend time together. From here, head into the dining area with its vaulted ceiling adding a sense of grandeur. Next, we come to the country-kitchen, which is well-equipped, including an AGA and range cooker. There is a snug area at one end of the kitchen, so that you can keep the cook company. Also on this floor is a utility room, as well as a shower room with WC. As it was once two cottages, there are two separate staircases leading upstairs. From the kitchen, head up the traditional Norfolk winder staircase (with narrow treads, children and less agile take care), to two light and airy bedrooms (a king-size and a double) and a family bathroom. From the lounge, the staircase leads up to a further two double bedrooms and a shower room with rainfall shower. Meanwhile, on the second floor, there’s a large king-size bedroom with a sleigh bed and beautiful exposed beams.

Heading back downstairs and out through the French doors in the dining room, you’ll discover the beautifully-presented enclosed terraced garden, where the patio offers the ideal place for a BBQ.

We absolutely loved our stay at Willow Cottage. The decor, coziness, beds, outside space (we were lucky to have wonderful weather) were all amazing. We found the location to be perfect - the village is so peaceful, but within such a close distance to so many other lovely places and beaches. And the proximity to the excellent village pub? Ideal!!

We had the most amazing weekend in this beautiful cottage for my 80th birthday. It was warm, welcoming and very comfortable. We couldn't have chosen anywhere better. It was perfect for us all and we had lovely evenings in front of the woodburner making wonderful memories with all my family. I highly recommend it and we hope to revisit in the futureRead more.

Beautifully planned, fitted and furnished - a little jewel of a "home from home"

A last-minute decision to visit the North Norfolk coast and we have not been disappointed. Willow Cottage offers the perfect luxury staycation experience. The cottage is beautifully curated and thoughtfully decorated. We loved the fact that a fantastic village pub, The Carpenters, was only 3 minutes walk away.

What an incredible home from home to be welcomed into! All the attention to detail with the artwork, bedrooms and kitchen-we have loved it. A perfect stride to Holkham beach and Wells Next the Sea. A perfect place to watch Charles III coronation. Thank you of sharing it with us.
