A charming brick and flint cottage located in North Creake, Fakenham, ideal for families, couples, and friends looking to explore the North Norfolk coastline and countryside. Fakenham has a famous racecourse as well as a good range of shops, restaurants, and pubs. Popular coastal towns nearby include Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea, and Brancaster, all of which have beautiful, sandy beaches (all within 7.5 miles). Birdwatchers will enjoy Sculthorpe, Titchwell, Snettisham, and Cley's premier bird reserves (all within 12 miles). A boat trip out to Blakeney Point to see the resident seal colony is highly recommended for more wildlife (11 miles). Burnham Market is a stunning village full of independent boutique shops, pubs and restaurants – and is a must-see (5.5 miles).

As soon as you step through the door of the cottage, you can take off your walking shoes and step into the entrance hall. This area doubles as a snug space, with a small sofa, a desk, and a TV. Continue through to the light and airy lounge area on the left where there are two comfortable sofas and a Smart TV to watch your favourite shows after a long day of exploring the area, as well as an open fire to snuggle in front of on a cold evening. Enter the kitchen/dining area through the lounge and prepare your meals in the well-equipped kitchen, which has everything you need to cook up a sumptuous meal for everyone to enjoy around the dining table that seats six. Climb the stairs to two lovely bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with twin beds, both with storage. The family bathroom is on the ground floor.

When you step outside, you'll find an enclosed and spacious garden. There is also a patio area with garden furniture where you can relax, fire up the BBQ, and enjoy a meal outside while soaking up the sun.

Lovely cottage with the added bonus of an enclosed back garden with lawn and patio which was great for enjoying the sunshine and for our dogs to relax and play.

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!

It's a lovely cottage. We stayed there a few years ago and finally managed to find a week that was available this year. The pub next door has such friendly staff and locals. North Creake is perfectly placed for exploring Norfolk. Nice little garden that is great for the dog to lay in.

We found our stay here perfect for what we wanted. It was very clean and welcoming. A short drive to a beach and some lovely walks. The garden is what you would expect from a mid terrace cottage fairly small but sufficient enough. There is somewhere to sit outside and was enough room for our dog to have a sniff and play ball.
