An enticing, Norfolk country cottage, tucked away in tranquil surroundings in Great Walsingham, this quiet, retreat is also ideal for spending time on the coast. Sleeping four guests, its North Norfolk location means the vast, sandy beach at Wells-next-the-Sea is just 6 miles away and picturesque Holkham Beach is 7.5 miles away. Wander into Little Walsingham, less than 1 mile away, to visit the abbey. Catch the light railway from here to Wells to potter in the shops, pause in a café or restaurant or have fish and chips on the quay. Return to your brick and flint cottage to light the wood burner on cold days or unwind in the garden when it is warm.
Wander into this pretty property and leave any Norfolk provisions you have bought in the kitchen and to put the kettle on for a cup of tea. This well-equipped space is a great place to prepare tasty meals for your group and to dine together afterwards at the table. Head on through to the cosy beamed lounge next door to stoke up the wood burner when it’s chilly and settle down in its inviting glow, perhaps in front of a programme on the Smart TV, which has access to streaming services. When eyelids start to droop, climb the steep, cottage-style stairs up to the first floor. There are two comfortable bedrooms at this level: a double, with a characterful, sloping ceiling and exposed timbers, and a twin. The family bathroom is also here.
Savour the lovely, leafy garden at this Norfolk cottage. Dine outside, watch the birds in the trees and light the chiminea as it grows dark so you can sit out into the night. An outhouse, with WC, washing machine and tumble dryer, is accessed from outside.
