Perfect Norfolk Retreat

Weekend with friends, 6 of is, celebrating a birthday. Great accommodation, deceptively large, very comfortable and convenient for many villages. Pub and village shop in walking distance, both very lovely. Would highly recommend.

Nice cottage in a great location, shame about the extra charges

Overall this was a really nice stay. The cottage is well located in Stiffkey a short walk from the excellent Red Lion pub and is a good base to explore the North Norfolk coast. The cottage is spacious and decently equipped, the double bed in the main bedroom is very squeaky but apart from that minor thing, no issues. The only thing I would highlight is that there is an extra charge for pets, even for a short stay. It would be much better if the charge for this (and for towels) was included in the overall cost to make it easier to compare with other properties. Overall though I was happy with the stay and we had a great time

Lovely cozy cottage in North Norfolk village, ideal for exploring. Great for groups or families.

We stayed as a group of friends and found the cottage had everything we needed. We were able to take a dog too and there are lovely walks nearby. Great location for exploring North Norfolk and only a couple of minutes walk to shop and pub. The cottage is full of character and charm and was very cozy (we went on a chilly weekend in March). The owners are very friendly and offered useful tips ahead of our stay. Check in was easy. We’d definitely stay again.
