About this property
Willow Cottage is a very charming and characterful cosy bolthole located just outside Burnham Market in the pretty village of North Creake with its famous farmer’s market, popular deli/café, artisan shops, abbey ruins and friendly local pub which serves local ales and good food.
This gorgeous Grade II listed abode is over 200 years old and was built circa 1800 at the end of George III's reign so comes with all the charm and history you could want. The slightly uneven floors, walls and staircase are testament to its long history. Although it looks small from the front it is big inside and offers a relaxing stay for couples or a family wanting to be in a great location not far from the best beaches in North Norfolk and the uber chic village of Burnham Market, with its numerous restaurants, galleries, shops and deli’s/café’s.
Willow Cottage is furnished to a high standard with an eclectic mix of contemporary and vintage furniture and with artefacts that the owner has collected over a number of years. She has also taken great care to make every room different and welcoming. The wood burning stove is perfect for cosying up in front of during winter evenings, while the garden will positively enchant you on warm sunny days when you can soak up the sun’s rays, or find a shady spot in which to dine alfresco. Split into two, the garden runs down to the River Burn and has an enclosed area which is safe for dogs and children. The decked area which backs onto the stream is an idyllic and tranquil spot in which to sit on a summer’s evening with a glass of wine or two.
Willow Cottage is also available as a Sleeps 4 and a Sleeps 2 option with additional bedrooms closed off.
Additional Information:
Two well behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).
This cottage has Norfolk winder stairs. As with older character cottages, these stairs are often enclosed, steep, curved and narrow. There is a solid hand rail on one side all the way up.
There is a door at the bottom of the stairs, and a stair gate at the top.
Please bring your own bedding for the cot if needed.

Beautiful Cottage, with everything we could have needed. A lovely location, we recommend Holkham Beach for untouched and sprawling white sandy beaches, backed by sweet smelling pine forest with plenty of space to find a quiet spot to chill. Many games of scrabble were had, fought into the stillness of the summer nights, many pints sunk at the best pub in the area, The Jolly Farmer, a five-minute walk. We were blessed with clear blue skies and temperatures to please even the most Saharan of creatures, and this allowed us to bake in the garden, surrounded by the beautiful flora and fauna the Cottage has to offer. I can personally attest to the coolness of the stream, situated under the Willow tree. We recommend Blickling Manor House, it has a pub, Buckinghamshire Arms, which has an amazing roast, not to mention how great the whole menu was. If you are up for an afternoon of family enjoyment, Urban Clay jewellery shop in Aylsham hosts bangle and ring workshops that are easy and rewarding. Overall, our time spent at Willow Cottage has been a week of relaxation in an idyllic home. Many thanks!
