Set near the glorious Sandringham Estate in the heart of Dersingham, this charming brick cottage makes an ideal base to explore West and North Norfolk’s resorts and reserves. Up to four family members, friends or romantic ramblers will love Dersingham’s local flint and carrstone architecture, its independent shops, traditional pubs, 14th-century Gothic church and magnificent tithe barn, which remains a tangible link to the Stewart past. Dersingham Bog National Nature Reserve (1 mile) is rich in mire, lowland heath and woodland, as well as giving refuge to Nightjars, owls and hawks and wandering Black Galloway cattle. Explore the Sandringham Estate (1.5 miles), the Queen’s beloved country retreat, and exquisite beaches and reserves at Snettisham and Heacham (both 5 miles), Holme Dunes (10 miles) and Titchwell (12 miles). Discover the medieval streets of King’s Lynn (10 miles), revel in seaside charm and fresh crabs at Hunstanton (7 miles), and seek elusive avocets at beautiful Blakeney Point (30 miles).

Climb one stone step into the cottage and enter the welcoming sitting room, with its TV, DVD player, and books and games. Relax on the comfortable sofas and armchair around the wood burner effect electric fire, reminiscing on thrilling days or planning ones to come. Savour local wine, beer and fresh farm fare in the bright kitchen/diner, with its table for six and feature hearth; there’s a steep step up into the sleek, galley-style kitchen. There’s a small and serene reading room with seating, and a handy ground floor cloakroom with a WC. The first-floor bathroom is nearby and has a pleasing blend of wood floors, sandy walls and white tiles. The first-floor double and twin bedrooms will lull you to sweet dreams, with their calm ambience and comfortable beds.

Spill out onto the patio on balmy nights or sunny mornings, for sweet soirees and farm-egg breakfasts. Children will love to run around the fully enclosed rear lawn, whilst you admire the flowery front garden.

We had a great week at Avocet Cottage. Everything we needed was provided and Andrea left a very nice welcome tray and milk in the fridge. The cottage location was great for us as Dersingham is a very nice village with shops, takeaways and pub! We made use of the excellent bus service so the car mainly stayed on the drive! Highlight for us was SandrRead moreingham House and garden seen on a beautiful sunny day. Thank you Andrea and Terry, we can thoroughly recommend your lovely cottage! Hide

We have just returned from a lovely stay at Avocet, the cottage was so clean and really well equipped. Incredibly dog friendly, the garden was so secure we didnt have to worry about the dogs wondering in and out as they liked.

Cottage is well placed for exploring sandringham which you can easily walk to in around 15 mins and the Norfolk Coast. We will definitely return next time we are visiting the area. Hide

A fabulous cottage, the best equipped weve stayed in and weve stay in lots of cottages. Peaceful garden with patio to sit and have a drink. Our two dogs were well catered for, water bowls, dog towels and fleeces, secure escape proof garden and walks across fields really close, walk to the pub across the cricket pitch was a great way to end the day.Read more Amazing beaches are close by and loads are dog friendly. The cottage is on a really quiet road, very little traffic, you could hear a pin drop at night, so quiet. Defo recommend and would love to stay again as still have lots to explore. Hide

The provision of furniture covers was excellent, I always take a stack of covers to safeguard the furniture from dogs hairs, and this is the only property which has done this. Liked the lovely biscuits, coffee, tea, sugar etc, even Camomile. Sat watching the family of Blackbirds, through the kitchen windows!

This cottage is the best equipped holiday home I have used. The cottage is very comfortable and the area is quiet, Secure enclosed garden so completely safe for dogs. The owner is very friendly and is only a phone call away for help and advice. Shops and pub just a short walk away. A definite must to come back too.
