  • A delightful holiday cottage set in a tranquil village, ideally situated just a few miles from the Norfolk coast
  • Close to the fantastic nature reserves at Blakeney and Cley,  an ideal holiday base for walkers, birdwatchers and nature-lovers
  • Take a boat trip to see the resident colony of grey seals
Property code: NCC68

Originally two separate farm cottages, a sensitive renovation has brought quality and charm to this delightful higgledy-piggledy three-bedroomed property in the heart of the village of Stiffkey, just a mile from the North Norfolk coast. A traditional farmhouse feel runs throughout the cottage and a cosy sitting room with wood burner and exposed beams gives a real home-from-home feeling. The enclosed walled garden and pretty front patio with rural views provide the ideal place to have a morning coffee or al fresco lunch on warmer days.

Take a stroll down to the village shop, only half a mile away, to stock up with essential provisions. The pub is under a mile away and perfectly positioned for walking off that Sunday roast! For longer walks, there are lots of coastal and inland walks nearby, with the salt marshes and Blakeney National Nature Reserve and their wide range of birds and plant life the highlight of any trip to the area.

If walking is not your thing, take a seal trip out to Blakeney Point or head along to the popular seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea, 4 miles away, where you can spend hours on the beach crabbing as well as browsing the charming shops, cafes and restaurants. Hop aboard the Wells to Walsingham light railway and enjoy the nostalgia of an era of steam travel that only a day on the world’s smallest public railway can bring.

We had a lovely stay in Walnut Tree Cottage. The cottage has lots of character but is spacious and comfortable. The log burner is excellent and the 2 staircases make it quirky and memorable. We are keen to stay again.

As cosy as it gets. Great location and very welcoming feel. Everything you could possibly need and that's with 4 chefs staying and cooking!. We all called it home after the first day and David could not be more helpful. Booking next year.

Had a great stay at the Cottage, lovely location and plenty of room. Had an issue with the hot water but this was sorted out very quickly. Would definitely return and recommend to a friend. Great Cottage feel with log burner, ideal if you have dogs with you. Plenty of fridge/freezer space. Great value

The property is in the pretty village of Stiffkey, a great location to explore North Norfolk. The area around the property is quiet as there are only two other cottages close by.
