This pretty cottage, tucked away in a quiet square of traditional terraced Norfolk cottages, offers you a warm welcome from the moment you arrive. Built in the 1830’s and newly refurbished, the cottage offers a relaxing stay with creature comforts catered for. The inviting living space has a love seat, just the spot to curl up in front of the wood burner and the cottage is family friendly with a highchair and stairgate provided. The garden is not directly behind the cottage but accessed from a nearby path, it offers privacy and seclusion on warmer days and is the perfect spot for a barbeque, with views overlooking the fields beyond. Two excellent pubs offering good food, draught beer and fine wines - The Red Hart in Bodham itself and The Wheatsheaf in nearby West Beckham are worth a visit. Coastal life beckons at nearby Sheringham, Cromer and Weybourne and the fantastic beaches at Wells next the Sea and Holkham are located within easy driving distance.

Bodham is a lovely north Norfolk village with a good pub and just a short drive from Norfolk’s diverse coastline, beaches and pretty villages that dot this part of the coast. For traditional seaside entertainment, head for Cromer with its iconic Pier, you can pick up the Norfolk Coastal path here and there are some great walks along the clifftops. Younger members of the family will be entertained at nearby Amazona Zoo and history buffs will enjoy time at the National Trust’s Felbrigg Hall, Gardens & Estate, which often hosts family event days throughout the year. Also run by the National Trust, Sheringham Park has acres to wander and explore; come in late spring for the spectacular rhododendrons and azaleas that flower here. There are some lovely views down to the coast too and you might spot the steam railway running along the coast line, pick up a ride from either the popular seaside town of Sheringham or the elegant, Georgian town of Holt. Both towns are worth a visit, take in a bit of culture at the Sheringham Little Theatre and enjoy local cuisine at the numerous restaurants in the town. Holt is full of independent boutique shopping, art and antique galleries and café culture. It has a great food hall and some good places to eat & drink, from vintage tea rooms with pretty gardens to excellent burger bars and pubs. There is a great deal to explore in the area and it will no doubt become one of those places that you want to return to time and again.
