Bodham is a lovely north Norfolk village with a good pub and just a short drive from Norfolk’s diverse coastline. For traditional seaside entertainment, head for Cromer with its iconic Pier; you can pick up the Norfolk Coastal path here and there are some great walks along the clifftops. National Trust’s Felbrigg Hall, Gardens & Estate often host events throughout the year and is just a 10 minute drive from the Cottage. Also run by the National Trust, Sheringham Park has acres to wander and explore; come in late spring for the spectacular rhododendrons and azaleas that flower here. There is a steam train service running along the coastline, from the popular seaside town of Sheringham to the elegant, Georgian town of Holt. Both towns are worth a visit, take in a bit of culture at the Sheringham Little Theatre and enjoy traditional fish and chips on the promenade. Holt is full of independent boutique shopping, art and antique galleries and café culture. It has a great food hall and some good places to eat & drink, from vintage tea rooms with pretty gardens to excellent pubs. If you enjoy a spot of golf then two prestigious golf courses await nearby, Sheringham being just 3 miles away and Cromer 7 miles away.

Penny Cottage was an absolute joy to stay in. Very large double bed was really comfy & we had everything we needed. Transport from village to coastal areas is very good using the local transport. Nice friendly local pub & hotel with good food.

Cottage perfectly acceptable apart from ridiculous, and in my opinion potentially dangerous stairway to the mezzanine bedroom.

Good location with access to beaches, towns and attractions. Sweet little cottage with all the basics by way of equipment. Br warned, however, the stairs are lethal. Steep "paddle" stairs that will give problems to even the fittest.

Penny cottage is lovely, everything we needed was there. Paddle stairs a bit of a challenge at first and took some getting used to. The location of the cottage was excellent, most places we visited were not more than 15mins away. We will certainly visit again.

The cottage was excellent and we enjoyed our stay there. Being close to so many different places of interest within short driving distance was also a bonus. The only difficulty we found was your modern staircase and this was due to our slight infirmity and not your fault.

A cute cottage, ideally positioned for visiting the local area. Be aware that the parking is tight. If all cottages, on the courtyard, are occupied an inexperienced driver might struggle to manoeuvre. Also, be aware of the PADDLE stairs. They are very steep and each step is only half the width of the staircase (alternate sides). This was particularRead morely tricky to navigate with luggage etc. and also during the night when visiting the downstairs bathroom. Hide

I missed the paddle stairs when choosing the place but we managed. It's a great quirky little place and we found it ideal for touring and walking and exploring. The log burner was a lovely touch and the welcome pack generous.
