Perched on the Norfolk Coast Path, this seaside retreat is the perfect choice for keen walkers and beach lovers. With the traditional seaside resort of Cromer just 12.5 miles away and a choice of historic houses and estates to explore, there is something for everyone in this area of North Norfolk. After a busy day, return to this home away from home for a cosy evening in front of the flame-effect electric fire or a delicious BBQ in the garden complete with a sea view.

Inside, this seaside bungalow is warm and welcoming with nautical touches aplenty. After picking up some local seafood, prepare delicious family feasts in the light and airy kitchen, before heading through to the lounge/diner. With an inviting L-shaped sofa, comfy armchair and flame-effect electric fire, this is just the place to hunker down after a busy day outside. Meanwhile, the sun room offers a peaceful spot for reading and relaxing in the afternoons. Sleeping four across two double bedrooms, this is a great choice for couples and families alike. Head outside to soak up the sunshine in the enclosed rear garden, which offers plenty of space for dogs and children to play.

Set out on foot to join the fantastic Norfolk Coast Path, heading north towards Walcott Beach and Mundesley or south towards Happisburgh and Sea Palling Beach. For a family day out, the traditional seaside resort of Cromer is hard to beat, with its fish and chip shops, pier, sandy beaches and busy line up of events and attractions. To get even closer to the water, head to Wroxham (12 miles), the gateway to the Norfolk Broads, where you can hire a boat for the day and explore the beautiful waterways. Afterwards, return to Walcott to enjoy a hearty meal in one of the two food-led pubs.

Lovely, homely cottage, cosy clean and warm, the addition of the conservatory was great, used to sit there when back from visiting other places, nice to relax in. Partial sea view too, although hedge could have done with a bit of a trim to making viewing clearer. Lovely comfy beds, well equipped, clean kitchen and a washing machine which was handy.Read more Dog friendly too. So good that as soon as home I booked again for next year. Walcott has a fantastic beach, well placed for all Norfolk offers. Hide

Really enjoyed our week of relaxing at Driftwood. The bungalow has a lovely conservatory to sit and read and listen to the sound of the sea. It was nice and clean with a well equipped kitchen for cooking meals. We loved the nautical theme throughout and the added thoughtfulness from the owners of milk and cake so we could have a cup of tea on arrivRead moreal. If you want a relaxing break, walks on the beach and a chance to unwind this is the perfect place to stay. Hide

This is our second year at this property and the dog really felt at home as did we. Our morning walks on the beach a treat for her. The day we left she hid. Very comfortable place with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The pub is only a short walk over the field.

Driftwood is a real Home from Home, a comfortable bungalow within a few minutes walk of a glorious Norfolk beach. With a lovely garden for lounging and eating outside, it has everything you could need. We had a lovely time there and would happily go back there again.

A delightful place to stay. Warm and welcoming, very well appointed with everything one should need, including a pair of binoculars! The bathroom/wetroom works very well and the shower was perfect. The owners left a welcome pack which was very thoughtful and as it was Christmas they had decorated the place with some thoughtful festive additions.

Te access to second bedroom is awkward for anyone disabled or not. You have to hope no one is in the bathroom due to faffing with folding door and bathroom door which opens fully across it.

It is a lovely holiday home. The owner is kind and helpful and brought my mum an extra walking aid on the first day. Its a great holiday cottage for anyone with mobility challenges and the immaculate and very accessible wet room is very helpful.

The cottage was spot on. The location (2 minutes to beach) saw a few sunrises walking the dog there. 15 Minutes walk across the field to the The lighthouse pub. The conservatory was a great reading room for my better half. Wi-fi was good and a TV in each room was a boon. All in all a great relaxing place to stay.
