North and North East Norfolk has a wealth of variety for those wishing to enjoy all that a holiday on the coast can offer. The main coastal towns of Wells-next-the-Sea, Blakeney, Cromer, Sheringham and Holt are all close by from where you can sail, birdwatch, swim, take boat trips, play golf, ride horses or just relax on the beaches. Villages including Burnham Market, Brancaster, Holkham, Salthouse, Cley, Overstrand and Morston allow you to experience the award winning restaurants, country pubs, galleries and the many farm shops selling local and seasonal produce. Inland there are a number of stately homes including Blickling Hall and Felbrigg Hall. The Norfolk Broads are only a short distance and are perfect for boating and fishing throughout the year.
In the heart of the Norfolk Broads, Burnt Fen House sits on the banks of Burnt Fen Broad. A large house providing accommodation for 14 people. The rooms are spacious and many have lovely views over the garden and the Broad. The house itself is in a wonderful setting and whilst providing the space and convenience for large groups it could be described as having a feeling of 'shabby chic'. This does not detract from the enjoyment of a number of parties who have re booked over time. The village of Horning provides the nearest shop which is open from 8 am - 8 pm and has an excellent butcher's shop, a swimming pool and of course, its own broad. Wroxham is 2 miles away and has a wide variety of shops as well as being the centre of the Norfolk Broads where there is a wide choice of water based activities to choose from. Wroxham is also the nearest railway station to the property and a car is helpful for exploring the area, although bicycles would be equally useful. The nearest beach is at Waxham and is 8 miles away but the whole of the Norfolk Heritage Coast provides a wonderful variety of sandy beaches and a variety of facilities for bird watchers, sailors, jet skiers, families and walkers. A number of local pubs serve awarding winning food, the Barton Angler and the White Horse at Neatishead to name but two.
