A charming flint cottage offering a family or friends the perfect holiday home, enjoying an enviable location in the village of Warham and located less than 2 miles from Wells-next-the-Sea.

This gorgeous flint-faced bolthole sits in the heart of the Norfolk Coast AONB with beaches, the coastal path and National Trust Nature Reserves nearby. The perfect destination for lovers of the great outdoors, whisk family or friends away to enjoy adventurous days and relaxing nights curled up by the wood burner.

Step inside and brew a welcoming cup of tea in the country-style kitchen where you’ll find mugs and utensils hanging ready to be used. The fridge has an ice compartment so you can chill your tipples before sitting down at the table and tucking into a delicious feast together. After dinner, bask in the last of the sun on the patio and watch your four-pawed pals as they run free on the lawn, or settle in the cosy lounge where a wood burner promises to keep you warm. There’s a TV for quiet nights in or a radio so you can listen to music whilst planning tomorrow’s outing. End your day with a soak in the tub on the first floor before getting snuggly under the covers in one of three pretty and tranquil bedrooms. There’s a handy WC on the ground floor so you don’t have to climb the stairs often, and please note that the courtyard has parking but is shared with next door.

The pretty village of Wareham is a great base from which to explore North Norfolk and has a welcoming local pub so you can reward the day’s walks with a tasty meal. Explore the Norfolk Coast AONB and spot seals at Blakeney Point (6.5 miles) where you can book boat trips; enjoy beach days at Wells-next-to-the-Sea (3 miles); or pay glorious Holkham a visit (5 miles).

Woodpecker cottage is lovely. Great location; clean and tasteful cosy decor. I would definitely stay here again. It is quite basic though; no washing machine; dishwasher; or functioning shower So atm probably best suited to adult guests on a short term basis.

Excellent location. We found the village interesting especially the Iron Age fort. Good size lounge and bedrooms. The kitchen was too small when the table was in use for 5 people. Safe and secure back garden.

We really enjoyed our stay at woodpecker cottage, it was very well equipped, clean and comfortable , good to have a constant supply of hot water, so nice to have a garden to sit in and not far from Wells, would love to come back. Esther Boyes and family.

This is a small property which is basically equipped: it is however comfortable (although the beds and pillows were rock hard) and provides a good base from which to explore Wells and the other seaside towns of the area. The pub round the corner does very nice food - and is dog friendly! Other reviews have referred to this property as "tired" thougRead moreh whilst possibly the bathroom could do with a refresh, the rest of it is perfectly satisfactory. the wifi is basic but the smart TV was fine.
