Gannets Rest Beach House is all about its breathtaking location on Snettisham Beach. Swing open the patio doors and experience spectacular views on your doorstep. Wake up to a fresh cup of coffee on the garden decking area overlooking the beach or an evening glass of wine listening to the sea under the stars.

Snettisham Beach is a natural haven and largely unspoilt. It is located next to the RSPB reserve and the beach is often frequented by various wading birds such as oystercatchers, ringed plovers and avocets. It is a nature lovers paradise with access to many lovely walks.

This beach location is ideal for families, there is Hunstantion and Sandringham a short drive away as well as the Snettisham Park.

Due to the beach location this is an off-grid beach house, electricity is generated by solar panels although there is also a back-up generator. There is an oil tank which provides the central heating.

This coastal home accommodates up to 5 guests in three lovely bedrooms. The property also boasts a very generous and sociable living and dining area, making it the perfect location to enjoy some quality time all together, with the added attraction of the decking area for alfresco dining. For those chillier evenings, you can snuggle up in front of the feature fireplace and watch your favourite movie.

Why we love this property: A beachside bolthole for all the family to enjoy!

The cottage is in a beautiful location, right on the beach. It is reasonably well equipped and warm. The furniture and floor coverings etc have seen better days and the cottage certainly could not be described as luxury. The en suite is very strange. But as a beach chalet, the cottage is ideal for a holiday right next to coast and in a good positioRead moren to tour quite a few of the other areas in Norfolk. Hide
