Dolphin Cottage - Brancaster Staithe

About this property

This elegant, much-loved holiday home provides the ideal base for exploring the stunning Norfolk coastline. Situated in Brancaster Staithe, a charming coastal village renowned for both fishing and sailing with local fishermen growing mussels and oysters in the harbour and a sailing club with a sailing school. The village boasts two lovely pubs and you can also buy fresh fish and famous Brancaster Mussels at The Fish Shed opposite the cottage. A little further around the coast is Brancaster Beach (1.5 miles) with its wide stretch of golden sand which is great for playing beach games and kitesurfing. The popular coastal destination of Wells-next the-Sea is 8 miles away and offers a picturesque harbour, colourful beach huts, wide beach and plenty of local pubs, restaurants and boutique shops. This area of the coastline is excellent for birdwatching with its many nature reserves; Titchwell, Holme Dunes and Blakeney to name a few.

This delightful cottage blends contemporary style and homely charm with the added bonus of access onto the salt marshes and coastal path. A perfect hideaway retreat for families, couples and friends to enjoy all year round. The cottage has a welcoming and relaxing feel and has been tastefully furnished with quality furniture and fittings to ensure that guests have a comfortable stay. Upon entering the cottage you are greeted by a spacious lounge with ample comfortable seating. Sink into plush sofas and bask in the warmth of a crackling open fire in front of the TV in the cooler months. Or gather around with celebratory drinks and plan your next day of exploring. At the rear of the cottage is a compact yet well-equipped kitchen. Between the kitchen and the lounge is the dining room where all your wonderful culinary creations can be enjoyed. The family bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower completes the ground floor. Upstairs the three bedrooms, one with a king-size bed, one with two single beds and a bunk room, are beautifully dressed and provide ample room for a restful night's sleep, ensuring everyone feels right at home.

The cottage has a unique offering of a garden cabin, called ‘The Shed’ accessed from the back door of the cottage and down a short drive. With spectacular views across the marshes and out to sea, this is the perfect spot to relax at any time of day. First thing as the sun is rising with a coffee and morning paper, basking in the midday heat on the decked area with some fresh produce on the BBQ, or later in the evening with a glass of your favourite tipple cuddled up in a blanket. Guests have right of way access across the grass in front of ‘The Shed’ to walk to the marshes and coastal path.
