This deceptively spacious and charming two bedroom cottage has been newly renovated to a high standard, yet still retains some original features such as latch doors and exposed beams. It is situated in a peaceful village in rural countryside close to the popular market town of Holt and the beautiful north Norfolk coastline. Light and airy throughout, the open plan ‘Scandinavian’ style ground floor accommodation offers a lovely social space and comfortable area in which to relax and unwind. Fitted with a wood burner, the sitting area is the perfect place to curl up with a book and warm your toes on a cold winter’s day. For sunny mornings the bench overlooking open meadows is an idyllic spot to enjoy your morning coffee. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a large farmhouse table at which to enjoy a meal or to lay the maps on whilst making holiday plans. On the first floor is the master bedroom with a double bed. The second bedroom features a specially designed bunk bed made by local carpenters. There is a further single bed in this room. All in all this property is a great base for a lovely holiday in Norfolk. Shop/Pub: 2 miles

Little Barningham is a quaint village just 6 miles inland from the popular market town of Holt where there is a good range of shops and facilities. There is plenty of open countryside for walking, or to enjoy cycling the many quiet lanes in the area. In neighbouring Edgefield there is a good pub serving locally sourced food and drink. The cathedral city of Norwich is twenty miles away and is rich in history and culture. The beautiful north Norfolk coast is a short car journey away, explore the delightful traditional seaside towns and stunning beaches. For wildlife lovers the coast has plenty of places to spot birds and interesting wildlife – take a boat trip from Morston to Blakeney Point to see seals basking in their natural habitat or visit the Norfolk Wildlife Trust Visitor Centre at Cley Marshes where there are bird hides and a good café with views over the reserve so you can sit and bird watch with a cup of something in hand!

Lovely homely cottage in really quiet location. Well equipped kitchen and spacious accommodation. Very central for visiting North Norfolk. Great countryside views. Lovely walks directly from cottage.

Beautiful cottage in a great location. We were disappointed about the level of cleanliness (especially flooring and kitchenware) which we have reported to the owner. This didn't detract too much though from a very comfortable few days stay in a great part of Norfolk.

It's a good sign when you don't want to leave. Super cozy cottage, nicely furnished with lots of homely touches. Large well equipped kitchen, social lounge area with a good tv and wifi. Good size bedrooms and a great bed though possibly a bit of a squeeze if a full house. Nice welcome pack too. We enjoyed watching rabbits and pheasants from the wiRead morendows, and its a good location to reach the coast and inland attractions. Concerns over needing to drive miles on tiny roads to get there were unfounded apart from the last few minutes into the village, and access along the lane was easy to find from directions and not too bumpy. Would happily come back here. Hide

I would give it 4 stars generally, but it could be 5 if you state that there are 2 toilets in the house, not one, and that there is a good wifi connection. Both of these were not mentioned in the details of the house & really should have been.

Damp smell in hallway, no shoe policy indoors yet floors were filthy. Dishwasher was full & needed emptying. Loads of step upstairs made night time visits to toilet dangerous, thankfully dimer on bathroom light so it was left on. Not as described and not worth the money.

This is the second week we have spent at Aurora Cottage this year, the location is good for exploring the Norfolk countryside and coast. The cottage is cosy and welcoming, and is well equipped. My five year old daughter loves the bunk bed!
