Blakeney is just a 10 minute drive away with the opportunity of seeing the local seals. Hunstanton, Cromer, Wells-Next-the-Sea and Holkham are all within driving reach giving plenty of fun days out. Holt, just three miles away, offers independent shops, quaint street and bars and cafes.

The village is well represented with the award winning Cookies Crabshop serving local seafood and produce as well as the Dun Cow pub. It is an ideal location for exploring the diverse coastline, from the popular resorts of Sheringham and Cromer to the picturesque villages of Cley-next-the-Sea and Blakeney, all of which are within a few miles and can be accessed via the ever-popular Coast Hopper bus service if you don’t want to take the car. The nearby glorious sandy beaches at Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham are wide, spacious and backed by pine woods and don’t miss a visit to Holkham Hall and deer park, home to the Earl of Leicester. The area is a year-round haven for ornithologists, walkers and nature lovers, with many bird reserves, good fishing and excellent walks close by.

We had a lovely comfortable family holiday in Cumfus Bottom. The kitchen was fantastic, with ample crockery, cutlery & cooking utensils. It was great to be so close to the marshes and the beach, the village shop was brilliant, the pub food was very good, and the football field behind the church was a hit with the kids. Thankyou!

A great property, easy walking distance to the coast and the pub! A fabulous base for our group of 8 over New Year, spacious and homely. Fully equipped, and we all loved the AGA, instant heat on those cold winter days. Plenty of great walking from your doorstep, and the slightly larger towns only a short drive away.

We always go to a cottage for our holiday and have done so for many years. This is by far the best accommodation we have used. We are a four generation family of visitors, and we were all catered for. Loved it, loved it, loved it.

We stayed as a family of 10 during a wonderful week of sunny weather. The house was perfect. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and the kitchen/living area were spacious. We loved the location. It was about 10 mins walk to the beach and only 2 mins to the great pub at the end of the road.

Wonderful accommodation, close to the marshes and coast. Extremely spacious and yet cosy. Very useful attached but separate double room with kitchenette. Spotlessly clean with every piece of equipment possible. Just a lovely place for a family gathering, which we are all hoping to come back to.

The cottage was gorgeous - even better than the photos on the website. It was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The welcome package of wine and cake was an added bonus. Really clear communication about key pick up and checking out. Made the whole process easy and stress free. Would definitely stay again!
