West Runton is an appealing seaside village nestled into the north Norfolk coastal landscape.  It offers a family friendly beach with crabbing and fossil hunting and there is a pub, grocers, station, two cafe's, Rocky Bottom - the local fish restaurant, a gym and golf all to be found within half a mile of the cottage's front door.  To the east discover the resort of Cromer with its famous pier and cliff top walks and further along this stretch of the coast are numerous flat, sandy beaches that are often not over populated even in the summer.  Head west and discover the open marshes at Stiffkey and Cley-next-the-Sea and seaside villages such as Blakeney and Wells-next-the-Sea, each with their own unique character.  With great pubs, delis, smokehouses, farmshops and cafe's there are plenty of places that showcase the produce that Norfolk is justifiably famous for such as crabs, mussels, cheeses, wines and more.    The area is rich in history too with Felbrigg Hall and Blickling Hall both run by the National Trust and Holkham Hall, the seat of the Earl of Leicester, which is still an independent family-run estate all nearby.  This is a wonderful part of the county and a holiday here will bring back many happy memories for years to come.

Our stay at Half Moon Cottage was wonderful, in no small part due to the greeting we received on arrival and the attention to detail in the cottage. The Welcome Pack was unique.

We really enjoyed our stay in Half Moon Cottage from 1st to 5th October 2024. The thing that struck us the most was the welcome, care and attention to detail. Its clear that the property owners want their guests to have a first class experience. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the appliances and fixtures and fittings were of a superior qualityRead more than some other places we have stayed in. The location is also very good. Set in beautiful woodland, most of the time, the only sound was that of the birds. Very enjoyable and highly recommended. Hide

The cottage was exactly as described and extremely clean and comfortable.
