Overview
Property code: OC-T33561

A delightful village retreat, this Norfolk hideaway makes a great base for exploring the scenic northern and western swathes of the county. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom cottage is situated in tranquil Fincham, 5 miles from bustling Downham Market and 10 miles from King’s Lynn, with its shops, restaurants and museums. Head out on foot or by bicycle to discover your rural and Fenland surroundings. Venture 13 miles to Castle Acre to see the ruins of a Norman settlement, including a castle, village, parish church and one of the best-preserved monastic sites in England. Take the children to the Watatunga Nature Reserve, 5.5 miles away, where wild animals roam free. Arrange a trip to the Royal Sandringham Estate, 15.5 miles away, to tour the stately home and explore the extensive, landscaped parkland grounds. Plan a day out by the sea in Heacham, 23.5 miles away, or Hunstanton, 24 miles away.

Make your way inside to find charming accommodation with an abundance of natural sunlight and original features, such as exposed beams and stonework. Head into the lounge, where flagstone floors enhance the character and a wood burner awaits you on chilly evenings. Unwind together on the comfortable seating here as you watch the Smart TV in the flickering glow of the flames. Amble on through to the dining room next door to gather around the table for games evenings or lively holiday meals. Prepare your feasts in the contemporary kitchen, which has been designed to ensure you can cater for yourselves with ease throughout your stay. The family bathroom, where you can choose to soak in a tub of bubbles or rinse under a steaming shower, is also downstairs. As darkness falls on the Norfolk countryside, climb the stairs from the dining room up to the first floor of the cottage. Here, you will find your sizeable bedrooms, a king-size and a twin. Enjoy a superb night’s sleep in either room, waking up ready for the next exciting day.

Make the most of Norfolk sunshine by unwinding in your private, enclosed garden, which has a lawn. Have afternoon tea or a glass of chilled wine out here as the day draws to a close. Dine under clear starry skies on summer nights. There is parking for two cars at this cottage.

Lovely cottage, beautifully refurbished, felt modern but really traditional too. It was really clean, very spacious and lots of safe space to play in around the garden. The area is peaceful, but still able to get a Sainsburys delivery very easily, and Deliveroo (important as we had sleeping kids and nothing nearby to nip to). Really comfyRead more beds and it just felt like a home, so lovely. Hide

We enjoyed our stay overall, and the location is one of the propertys biggest positives. Its well placed for exploring North Norfolk, with most of the main attractions and beaches around 40 minutes away, and theres also a major supermarket nearby, which is very convenient. That said, for a property described as a luxury cottage, we felt there weRead morere a few areas that didnt quite live up to that expectation. The house could benefit from some fresh paintwork and, more importantly, a thorough deep clean. It was clear that previous guests had brought dogs, and there were signs of this around the property, which took away from the overall feeling of cleanliness. The bathroom is also worth mentioning. The shower is a tap mixer arrangement rather than a conventional shower, and the fitting isnt particularly practical for four people using it every day. The bath is also quite high, so this may not be suitable for anyone who finds getting in and out of high-sided baths difficult. The beds were ok - mattress but thin but comfortable enough, but again, they didnt really provide the luxury experience we expected from the photos. The bedding felt relatively low quality, and we would strongly recommend bringing your own towels. For four adults, the small towels provided were not really sufficient and became a bit of a daily frustration. The kitchen equipment is fairly basic, although this will obviously depend on how much cooking you intend to do during your stay. A hairdryer would also be a useful addition, particularly for female guests, and a chair or somewhere to sit in the master bedroom would be a nice improvement. Overall, the cottage has a good location and plenty of potential, but we felt it needs a little investment and attention to detail to genuinely justify being described as a luxury property. We would have been disappointed had we paid the higher summer-season prices, as there are other cottages in the area that offer a more polished experience and better value for money. At the right price, however, it can make a good base for exploring North Norfolk. Hide

Clean and spacious cottage in a nice village within a short drive of Downham Market, located on a quiet lane. The property is well equipped and has lots of usable space, inside and outside. Pub within walking distance serving good Thai food, and a community pub 3 miles away with good ales and food.

This is a beautifully renovated and comfortable cottage, warm and welcoming. There is a lot of outside space so will be brilliant in summer, especially for children and pets. It is well located for exploring this part of Norfolk with plenty of places to visit within easy driving distance. The range of kitchen equipment was a bit limited but adequatRead moree. Guests should be aware that the stairs are quite steep and narrow, but that is to be expected in this type of property. Hide
