Overview
Property code: OC-A27477

This is the ideal coastal retreat for creating special memories in a real home away from home. Boasting everything you may need for an unbeatable stay on the coast, we couldn’t think of a better base than this cottage which also has an annexe with a sofa bed and shower room. Just 0.5 miles away, you will find the village’s traditional pub with beer garden. Within easy reach is Thornham (1.5 miles), Old Hunstanton (3 miles) and Burnham Market (8 miles). For bird watchers, the cottage is ideally situated with RSPB Snettisham (10 miles) and RSPB Titchwell (2.5 miles). Step out and discover walks on the dog-friendly sands of Holme Beach (1 mile) or the beautiful Brancaster Beach (4.5 miles). Visit Hunstanton (3.5 miles) with its traditional seaside fare, crazy golf and Sea Life centre for a lovely family day out, or visit the famous Norfolk Lavender Farm for a relaxing afternoon, just 5 miles away.

This charming cottage has been lovingly restored to a high standard to offer guests a wonderful base from which to explore this fascinating county. The well-equipped kitchen offers all the designated chef of the day could wish for to lovingly prepare a light breakfast or a hearty evening meal. It has a contemporary feel with a breakfast island and four bar stools, ideal for your morning cuppa. The dining room caters for up to eight guests and is fitting for any special occasion. The lounge has enough comfortable seating for all, so cosy up in front of the open fire and stream your favourite boxset on the Smart TV for a relaxing evening spent with loved ones. Completing the ground floor layout is a snug/study area which has a sofa bed if needed. There is also a separate downstairs WC. Upstairs, you have a master bedroom boasting a super-king-size zip-and-link bed (which can be made up as twins on request), with bedroom two featuring a king-size bed and bedroom three having a single bed. All bedrooms have ample storage space to hang garments or store personal items. There is also a light and fresh family bathroom. Outside, in the beautifully kept enclosed garden, there is a gorgeous annexe with a charming veranda where you can enjoy the late afternoon sun. The annexe features a sofa bed and a shower room. The sofa bed can be made up before your arrival if requested and will comfortably sleep two guests.

The enclosed garden with furniture is a perfect spot to relax in the evening whilst enjoying a cocktail or two and dining alfresco. An outdoor hot water shower is great for washing sandy toes and paws and the outdoor table tennis table is great for some friendly competition.

We had a lovely time at Amber Cottage. The garden is well laid out, at the end is the barbeque area, with a table and seating to enjoy outdoor living. We were all very impressed with the cleanliness and it was very well equipped. The kitchen is small, but very functional, it has everything there that you might possibly need. Additional space Read more can be found at the end of the dining room and downstairs snug/bedroom. It was great for us 6 Adults and 2 children and a baby. Hide

A well equipped, very clean and cosy cottage with a lovely enclosed garden, with parking for 3 cars. Four adults and two dogs had a very enjoyable 4 night break with good weather too. Would like to revisit soon. The local pub, within walking distance, is reported due to reopen in May following refurbishment.

Amber Cottage is in a very good location. It's surrounded by lovely scenery. The whole area is very quiet, which is perfect.

We loved our stay here and its the most pet friendly cottage weve stayed at! The owner has thought of everything, including balls, biscuits, towels and a handy screen to stop dogs going upstairs (although ours is trained not to). The cottage is a 5 minute walk from a local exercise field too. We enjoyed visiting the local beach and pub, and its jusRead moret a short drive to Sandringham (well worth a visit!), Holkham Hall and Wells next the Sea.

Child and pet secure and plenty of information to hand on the surrounding area. Great sized garden with warm outdoor shower for washing muddy animals. Would highly recommend

Overall the cottage was good, the children's room upstairs was small but usuable. Suggest mattress protectors, plastic plates for children. Otherwise a comfortable cottage well located for the North Norfolk coast.

We found the layout of the property didn't work for us. There were no food preparation areas in the kitchen as workspace was non existent. Friends did not join us in the end and we felt that was a good job since its difficult to imagine how 4 adults could manage in the tiny kitchen space let alone anyone staying in the annexe or snug. The back of tRead morehe house kitchen, snug and utility room felt cold and damp as there were no radiators. We enjoyed the open fires we had and the heating was efficient - it was quite cold during the evenings for our stay. The garden we understood was a work in progress but even so it was pretty and well equipped. The outdoor seating area was a good idea as was the table tennis table. The annexe we didn't use - it appeared well equipped but again difficult to imagine even more people in the kitchen and lounge. The dining room we used a few times and the books, maps etc were useful. The stairs were very steep and we thought unsuitable for young children or elderly people and we could see no sign of this in the brochure. There was a huge amount of crockery and cutlery in the kitchen. The futon style bed may not have been suitable for some to use - with mobility problems for example - we found it comfortable but not what we'd expected from the cottage information and photos. A sweet little cottage but we felt more attention to the main house would have made it more comfortable rather than spending money on the extension. which only increased the number of beds. The snug was a non starter for us served no purpose other than adding another bed. Hide

We really enjoyed our holiday and would happily stay again but the property was perhaps a little smaller than the photos suggested. In additional the kitchen was perfectly adequate but I'm not sure it quite lived up to the description.
