The cottage is very cosy and compact at the top of the road down to the salt marsh parking area and access to the Peddars Way coast path.

We found the location of the cottage delightfully hidden away behind others and, therefore, so secure and private. It was amazing to see all the facilities and equipment fitted so efficiently into the cottage spaces.

Compact but comfortable. A very quiet location with very friendly neighbours. The nearby Red Lion is excellent for meals and drinks. Some folks commented on access. You do not have to be Dr Livingstone to find it. We will be returning soon.

Access might be a problem, bit of a trail around other cottages, if I had realised I wouldn't have taken my easily triggered dog. Pretty area, lovely walks.

We had a lovely stay in Poppy Cottage (July 2024). The cottage has everything you need for a simple stay in beautiful North Norfolk. 5 mins walk to the saltmarsh and endless walks, 10 mins drive from The Norfolk Bottle-shop (beer and weekend pizzas)- def recommend ..... too many places to mention here the Redlion Pub is a must- Sunday lunch was Read moregreat- their midweek menu is good too- v popular The only thing to mention really is the access- this is mentioned in other reviews too- walking past the terrace cottages, 3 gates..... gets to be a bit cumbersome with luggage, shopping etc. our dog also grew to dislike the gravel (old diva greyhound) Everyone staying in the other cottages was lovely and friendly and didn't seem to mind. The lady who lives in the cottage who owns the beautiful courtyard was a great neighbour offering it to us to use, her lovely dog Inkey was super friendly and came to visit often. We had a very relaxed calm stay- just what we needed Hide

We had a sunny week in Poppy cottage. It was a gorgeous walk to the salt marshes from the cottage. The cottage was ideally situated for visiting the surrounding area.
