Situated in the peaceful village of Aldborough, this homely cottage is perfect for a family looking to explore and enjoy the best of Norfolk and is just 8 miles from the coast.

Retreat to this pretty country cottage in Aldborough, nestled in rural North Norfolk, just 6 miles from the sea. With a gorgeous garden and space for six guests, plus one dog, this enticing, three-bedroom, semi-detached holiday home makes a great base from which to get out and about. From here, discover beautiful beaches and nature reserves, visit historic homes and magnificent gardens, and plan trips out to market towns and villages, with gastropubs and farmers’ markets.

Let yourself into this appealing, red-brick cottage and make your way into the kitchen/diner. Put the kettle on, peel the fresh vegetables you have bought, then leave everything roasting in the oven while you head through to the lounge to put your feet up. Settle down in front of the TV and DVD player at one end or take your book up to the other for a quiet moment or two, opening the doors onto the garden on fine days. Dine together at the table, where there is ample space for everyone to gather. You have a ground-floor bathroom with a WC, and an additional WC on the floor above. This is also where a king-size bedroom, a twin and a bunk bedroom are situated. Enjoy the opportunities for outdoor living afforded by this holiday home. You have a delightful summer house in which to sip a glass of chilled wine on warm evenings, plus bike storage in a shed. Just keep an eye on young children near the small, shallow pond. There’s also parking for up to four cars.

Visit the seaside towns of Cromer, 6 miles away, and Sheringham, 6.5 miles from the cottage. Spend an afternoon at the National Trust’s Sheringham Park, 5.5 miles away, and enjoy the shops and eateries of Holt, 9.5 miles away.

This has to be one of the most impressive cottages and value for money Ive stayed in. We have a long tradition of staying in dog friendly cottages around the country as this is one that ticks all the boxes. The location on the village green just makes it the perfect getaway from it all peaceful holiday home. The locals are extremely friendly and waRead morelking our two Airedales on the local beaches and few beers in the local pub coupled with the added colours of autumn made for a special week Oct 22 Hide

A well presented charming Cottage facing the Village Green. Locals are really friendly and the Village Shop is well stocked with many fresh goods. Plenty of local walks you can follow and the Village Pub is a great place to stop upon your return. Easy access to Cromer, Sheringham & Wells next the Sea if you fancy venturing out.

We had a wonderful week at Whistlestop. The lovely cottage was situated on a village green with a very handy local shop. The cottage had everything we needed for the family and dog and was well situated for a holiday exploring both broads and beaches. The owner was very responsive to any questions. We would love to return another time!
