About this property
An attractive, single-storey brick and flint annexe, adjoining the owners' home in the small village of Gayton, seven miles from King's Lynn. Well placed for touring the North Norfolk coast, this Gayton cottage provides very comfortable accommodation for couples and families, and set entirely across the ground floor with a convenient shower room, it's also suitable for guests with restricted mobility. The light and spacious sitting room in this Norfolk cottage has French doors that open out to the rear garden with furniture, a pleasant place to enjoy an alfresco meal in the sun, whilst the two cosy bedrooms are warm and inviting, especially at the close of a busy day spent exploring.
A few minutes' walk brings you to the village pub and shops, whilst the historic market town of King's Lynn, just a short drive away, offers excellent amenities with its independent shops, eateries and pubs set along the charming cobbled streets. Within easy reach of this cottage near King's Lynn are many attractions, including the splendid Sandringham Estate, just six miles away, Castle Acre and the National Trust manor house at Oxburgh Hall. Hop on your bike to discover the Norfolk Coast Cycleway, spend a day beside the sea at the beautiful Holkham or the popular seaside resort of Hunstanton, or why not visit one of the nearby RSPB reserves? This centrally-located Gayton cottage is a wonderful base for an enjoyable Norfolk break.
The small Norfolk village of Gayton is surrounded by charming, open countryside, and yet is within easy reach of the coast, offering three shops, a pub, and a prominent historic windmill.

It needed a Professional Clean. Our only complaint! Because we had purchased a pizza to have our meal on arrival after our journey and had to throw it away! We ended up going out for a meal, at a local pub!

Could not use oven because it was unhygenic. Owners friendly and helpful, cottage has potential to be really nice if above problems were sorted.

The weather wasnât very warm and we were cold. We were told to alter the thermostat in order to get the heating switched on. It worked a bit and then would go off and not come on when we expected it to. So we were feeling quite cold for a lot of the time. We think that needs sorting. Otherwise everything was great.
