Perfect for a big family occasion, or for friends alike, this large house is located on the edge of the East Norfolk coast in the family-friendly village of Bacton. Just a short stroll to the beach and easily accessible on foot, this property is perfectly placed for family fun on the beach. Less than half a mile are some local cafes offering great breakfast or coffee and cake options. If you fancy a change of scenery, Mundesley beach (3.9 miles) offers miles of coastline, as does Happisburgh (3.5 miles) and why not visit the lighthouse whilst you’re there – the oldest working lighthouse in East Anglia.

The first of the communal spaces greets you upon arrival, with a large array of sofa seating, a wood burner and the perfect-sized dining table to seat the whole family; above this open-plan room you will spot some original features from the boathouse. There is a second lounge in case you’d prefer to entertain separately with more comfortable seating – both lounges benefit from Smart TVs. Through the modern, fully equipped kitchen, you will find everything needed to cook a celebratory meal. On the ground floor you’ll also find one double bedroom with an en-suite and a twin bedroom with a shower room next door. Up to the first floor, there are a further three double bedrooms (two of which have en-suites) and another twin, as well as a stylishly modern bathroom.

The house has a fully enclosed lawn and patio garden to the rear, dressed in beautiful outdoor seating and large gas BBQ. In the pool house, the 7m x 3.5m pool is heated year-round, fitted with shower and WC for ease of use.

We loved our visit to Danecot for a family holiday with 8 adults, 5 year old and two toddlers. Everything was spotlessly clean, the pool wonderful and the kitchen was very well equipped. Parking was a bit of a struggle with 3 family sized cars to park but manageable. Overall, a lovely holiday home - thank you.

An absolutely stunning property in a great location. We were here for my son's 30th birthday and rarely left the house as it was so spacious and the swimming pool and games room kept us entertained. Comfortable beds and great sized rooms meant that everyone had their own space.

A beautiful cottage with everything you need for a self catering holiday. It is just a few steps away from a fantastic sandy beach. The closest pub is within easy walking distance. Not the best of establishments, but if you just want a beer sitting outside overlooking the beach on a sunny evening, its perfect. The games room is an excellent ideaRead more. Not much in there apart from the pool table that's not level. It makes for an interesting game! The room smelt terribly of wet dog. We all loved the swimming pool. A lovely welcome pack in the kitchen on arrival. Overall, a lovely old house situated perfectly for a family beach holiday or for a get together with old and new friends. We had a lovely holiday but not sure we would stay at that cottage again. Hide

A beautiful house with a good sized (very warm) pool and a games room. We were a party of 11 ranging in age from 3 to 74 and it was perfect for everyone. An added bonus is the short walk to the beach (and a slightly longer walk to an excellent ice cream shop!)

Danecote was totally perfect for our weekend away. It was for my 70th birthday, and we were 9 adults and 3 children aged 12, 10 and 6. The bedroom configuration was ideal for our needs and the linen, rugs, furniture and bathrooms were beautiful. The living space was also perfect, the table seating for 12, a wonderful large kitchen with every gadgetRead more, gizmo and item you could need. The large fridge and freezer were perfect for storing our provisions and the cooker was ideal. Having a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer was a godsend with so many swims going on we were able to get towels and cosies dry easily. The swimming pool really completed the holiday especially for the children, our youngest grandson gained so much confidence in the water over the 3 days we were there and it was great that it was in a separate building and secure. The pool/ games room proved a great hit with everyone with even a 6 year old learning how to play pool. Being only 5 minutes walk from the beach was ideal for us and the dogs, as you were soon there and we all loved it, even though it was somewhat bracing! As a bonus we found Cafe Carmel, a wonderful vegan cafe with a licence only about 200 yards down the road, we had a fantastic meal there on the Sunday. All in all it was the most perfect house for our needs and I would throughly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay, Thank you. Hide

We made use of the games room and pool, although the pool was not heated to a warm temperature - it was luke warm. We made full use of the kitchen for an evening meal and had everything that would be needed cupboards wise. And we were left a lovely welcome basket of food on arrival. Parking is a little tricky but with a bit of Tetris we managed to fit 3 cars in and then parked one car across the gate once shut. We would definitely visit again - I can imagine its even more beautiful in the summer! Hide
