The Queen's Estate at Sandringham should not be missed, whilst a further drive will take you to the lavender fields of Norfolk. The home of Caithness Crystal is in King’s Lynn where you can see pieces being produced before wandering through the factory shop. Within a short drive of the cottage there are seal watching trips, bird watching opportunities, golf, coastal walks and sailing trips, making this cottage an ideal base from which to explore this fantastic part of the country.

On the River Great Ouse sits the famous mediaeval port of King's Lynn, which dates to the 12th century. The town is a treasure mine for history buffs, with large merchant homes, art galleries, museums, and the Custom House, a Grade I listed edifice that was constructed in 1683 by Henry Bell. The town still has its original winding streets and lanes, and it has good shopping options, including a mix of major chains and specialty stores, as well as a number of bars and eateries. The West Norfolk shoreline is easily accessible by car, and most of the surrounding Norfolk countryside has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Particularly Hunstanton is well known for its stunning beaches and sunsets. A number of locations along the coast provide boat excursions, and the Norfolk Coast Cycleway connects King's Lynn with Cromer. A short drive away is Sandringham, the magnificent rural residence of The Queen, and it is highly recommended that you stop by the spectacular Visitor Center there.

We have just stayed with 6 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs and there was plenty of room and the enclosed garden meant we didnât have to worry about the dogs being out. Very clean and the owner was so friendly when I rung to get key details. Thanks for a lovely week away with family

Very safe, being off the beaten track with a gated garden and close to the North Norfolk coast and attractions.

Is bit too small for disabled person. Tin trays need replacement. But in general we are satisfied while we are staying there.
