Salthouse is a pretty coastal village which is a fantastic place to enjoy a relaxed holiday near the sea. Walk from the cottage straight into the village centre with its welcoming pub and its charming crab shack. The village beach is situated within 0.5 miles of the cottage and is a delightful shingle beach which stretches east to Kelling and west to Cley-next-the-Sea. The salt marshes, which are literally on the property’s doorstep span for 66 hectares and are home to a wealth of wildlife, making an ideal spot for keen walkers, wildlife enthusiasts, and those with an interest in photography. The dawn sunrise over the marsh (for those up early !), is one of nature's wonders.

A garden path leads up to the front door of this property and brings guests to the characterful lounge with its inglenook fire place with its warming wood burner, beamed ceiling, and TV/DVD which can be enjoyed from the comfortable seating. Next to the lounge, the kitchen/diner is finished in a homely style and offers a dining table seating four as well as an oven, hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher, and washing machine. The contemporary-style bathroom with its shower-over-bath and WC can also be found on the ground floor, as can the separate shower room with its shower and WC. The two bedrooms can be found upstairs, the first of which is a king-size room, with the second room being a restful twin.

Outside, gardens to the front and rear offer plenty of outdoor space to relax, with garden furniture allowing guests to enjoy al fresco dining. There is curb-side parking available on the road just outside the cottage.

The cottage is in poor and unmaintained condition and is not clean. Furniture grubby. Dust and cobwebs everywhere. We stayed in Cherub Cottage in 2007. It is a beautiful location, but very disappointing now.

This is an idyllic spot to stay by the sea which is why we have now been four consecutive years. Lovely secluded garden. Coast Hopper now stops on the village green making it even easier to get about.

We have stayed many times in this cottage. We come back for the peace and beauty of the location. This is a character cottage, which is snug, but comfortable. It has a pretty enclosed garden and a great pub next door. There are many gorgeous walks straight from the doorstep. A really lovely place to stay .

We love this cottage and its beautiful location, have been coming for many years. There are a few issues which are now badly in need of updating which would so easily improve an already lovely place. There was no wifi all week although this has always worked well before. We hope to continue visiting this very special cottage where we've visited manRead morey times over the last 10 years. It's beautifully warm, has fantastic views, a gorgeous garden front and back, dog friendly, a very happy place. Hide

Cherub Cottage is in a fantastic location overlooking the green and marshes in Salthouse. There is a pub to one side (but it's quiet) and a deli and crab shop on the green - all excellent!

We had a lovely stay at Cherub Cottage. It felt like home from home and we felt comfortable as soon as we arrived. The cottage is clean and spacious, the garden is enclosed and pretty. The double bed was comfortable and the shower was powerful. The cottage is in a great location for walks and day trips and the pub next door was lovely, as was lunchRead more from the Crab Shop and coffee from the store. Enjoyed the short walk to the pebble beach to watch the sunset. Parking was fine. Highly recommend. Hide
