This cute cottage enjoys a peaceful rural location, just 7.5 miles from the bustling town of Fakenham and 10 miles from the North Norfolk coast. The property sleeps four guests, making it ideal for couples and small families. You’ll be close to several gorgeous sandy beaches and stunning coastal trails, as well as local attractions including Pensthorpe Natural Park - all within 10 miles. After a busy day, unwind in the pretty garden or snuggle in front of the open fire.

Enter the traditional brick and flint cottage and find yourself in the hallway where you can store all your outdoor gear. This area doubles up as a cute snug, with a small sofa, desk and TV. Moving through to the lounge, you’ll find a welcoming space with clean, crisp decor and a cosy open fire (logs are provided from October to March). The kitchen/diner overlooks the garden and has a large dining table to seat up to six people. Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom. Upstairs, two delightful bedrooms await – choose from a beautiful king-size or cosy twin. The enclosed cottage garden is a tranquil haven to enjoy a spot of al fresco dining on the patio, surrounded by flowers, mature trees and shrubs.

Journey into the traditional Norfolk town of Fakenham (7.5 miles) to browse the independent shops and pick up delicious local produce from the weekly market. The nearby stretch of coastline boasts some of Norfolk’s finest beaches – visit the sandy shores of Brancaster, Wells-next-the-Sea, or Holkham, all within 10 miles. Wildlife lovers will enjoy a trip to the 700-acre nature reserve at Pensthorpe Natural Park (10 miles), or perhaps hop on a boat at Morston Quay (12 miles) to visit the seals at Blakeney Point.

Chestnut cottage has a great layout inside and out and the decoration is very tasteful. It has a very useful reception room just inside the the door to store all your dirty walking gear. The lounge has an excellent log fire which creates a cosy atmosphere. We used the fire a lot as the heating wasn't copying well with freezing temps. Very friendly Read morepub almost next door is open for limited hours. They leant us a lighter to start the fire. A good base to explore the area. Hide

Chestnut Cottage was just what we had wanted, an old Norfolk Cottage brought up to date. It was tastefully decorated and well appointed. The beds were extremely comfortable, better than home!
