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.

Location, location, location. 5 minute walk down to the mud flats at Stiffkey and 5 minute walk to the Red Lion. The cottage is perfectly suitable for two people, is well equipped and makes good use of the space available. The shower unit and sink are either side of the corridor connecting the kitchen and bedroom which works out fine if you close tRead morehe doors to create a bathroom area. Plenty of space for car parking on Green Way but be aware that there is a short walk past the front and around the back of a row of cottages to get to the property so no unloading straight from the car. We really enjoyed our stay and would book again. Hide

Surprisingly comfortable and well equipped characterful small cottage. Friendly, welcoming neighbours. Excellent location for coastal walks in both directions. We didnt use the car all week thanks to the coasthopper bus pulling up outside. Great stay, thank you.
