This charming cottage in the heart of Snettisham is the perfect getaway for small families or friends who are looking to relax and appreciate the beauty of the Norfolk coast. Take a trip to Snettisham Beach just 2.5 miles away for an afternoon of lounging in the sun, dipping in the sea, or walking along the Snettisham RSPB Nature Reserve. Outdoor enthusiasts can bring a kayak or paddleboard to explore the calm waters. More lovely walks nearby include the beautiful Norfolk Lavender Farm (2 miles), or for a family adventure, you can meet the animals at Snettisham Park less than 1 mile away. For those fascinated by the historic beauty of the cottage, visit Sandringham Estate (5 miles) or Holkham Hall (17 miles).

Bursting with character and historic charm, this Grade II-listed cottage provides a cosy backdrop for your getaway, whatever the season. Enter the hallway and admire the 18th-century settle, listed door and original key. In the open-plan lounge/diner, fire up the wood burner in the cooler months after an energising walk by the coast, and watch a family film on the Smart TV. Featuring a solid oak mantelpiece, internal cottage doors and stylish antique furnishings, you will feel transported back in time. A chess table, writing desk and dining table provide the perfect spots for entertaining. The kitchen also has rustic features but all the modern appliances for creating delicious meals. Upstairs, you will find two bedrooms, carefully decorated with quaint furniture and comfortable beds to ensure a good night’s sleep. Both bedrooms also feature original arched windows.

Delightful relaxing house in a quiet village. Beautifully furnished internally, with comfortable beds and seating in the lounge. A kitchen with every utensil you could need and a secluded courtyard, ideal for a relaxed breakfast or for a BBQ. Enjoyed our stay very much, would certainly come back...

We had a lovely stay at Dutch house with our 3 month old and 3 dogs. I had seen a review suggesting may not be good for dogs or babies due to noise from the restaurant next door. We slept with the windows open and didnt have any issues with noise. We stayed Monday - Friday so perhaps it is noisier over the weekend but for us was fine. The courtRead moreyard garden was ideal for our three dogs. The walls and gate are a good 6ft high. There is a small gap under the gate, but we just moved the bins infront of this so our escape artists couldnt succeed! The cottage was well equipped and is in a great location being just minutes walk away from the shop and pubs. Parking was ideal being right infront of the door. We did have an issue with an alarm going off, but the owner came straight out to resolve this nice and quickly. Hide

The stair carpet had stains on every step,luckily we had a rainy day so I cleaned them. Also it would of been lovely if the courtyard wasn't full of weeds. The rest was lovely. Thankyou.christine

A spacious and comfortable quirky cottage right in the heart of the village, just a few steps from the pubs, the restaurant and the shop. All the rooms are a good size and interestingly furnished. The courtyard is a suntrap first thing in the morning and in the afternoon too. We were grateful for the large umbrella providing shade!

The Dutch House is lovely. Well provisioned. Beautiful inside, good parking. Location of the house is central to amenities but it's right next to the Old Bank restaurant. The small patios back onto each other. Can get quite noisy until late (midnight) with music, partying and general restaurant noise. If you have a baby/small child, you need to geRead moret to sleep or a noise reactive dog, it potentially could be an issue. The Village itself is lovely. Co-op food store 2 minutes walk. Good location from which to visit all the local sights and beaches. Hide
