Avocet Cottage is absolutely pristine ! The kitchen has absolutely everything that you could possibly need, is impectably presented and immaculate throughout. The location is in a very quiet setting with the only noises from the local ducks crossing the road with their ducklings and the odd 'clip clop' from horses being ridden past the cottage. Read more Very close to the Sandringham Estate and also three nearby beaches. Lovely, thoughtful touches including a much appreciated Welcome Pack. The cottage is light, airy and spacious. Local cafe a 2 minute walk away is very popular, small Co-Op and 2 pubs. Beds were very comfortable and had quality linen and generous towels. I took a chance with booking this cottage as it had no reviews, but can honestly say it is the best place I have stayed in. Hide
