Traditional character makes this lovely cottage a welcoming place to stay, with space for a couple, friends or a small family. It’s located in the heart of the thriving market town of Fakenham, where there’s so much to see and do, and only 10 miles from the spectacular North Norfolk coast.

This cute cottage, fronted in brick and flint, has instant appeal, and once you step inside it will soon feel like a home from home. The kitchen/diner is equipped with modern appliances and has all the space you’ll need to create stress-free holiday meals, to be enjoyed at the wooden dining table where, after supper, you can linger with a board game or a glass of wine. When you’re ready to retreat to the comfortable lounge you can relax by the flames of the open fire, perhaps delving into a good book or catching up with a favourite series on the Smart TV. The utility room is a great place to store beach equipment, and leads into the shower room with a WC. On the first floor both sweet bedrooms, a twin and a single, boast TVs, ornamental fireplaces, ample storage and pretty bed linens.

Set on the River Wensum, Fakenham boasts a racecourse, a waterfowl park and a ruined abbey. As well as an array of interesting shops, it’s renowned for its markets and auctions, and is also a perfect base for adventures on foot or by bike. For day trips to a sweeping, sandy beach, head to Wells-next-the-sea, just 10 miles - don’t forget to try some fish and chips. At Blakeney Point, 14 miles, you can catch a boat to see the colony of seals, or you could visit Burnham Market, 10.5 miles, for its independent shops and array of eateries.
