Bella's Cottage - a self catering cottage that sleeps 3 guests in 2 bedrooms
A simply charming 2 bedroom flint country cottage, located in this sought after North Norfolk village, being a ten minute walk from the coastal path. The heart of Stiffkey village is a short stroll away on an off-road footpath along the river, which brings you to a welcoming village pub and the village stores, which serves as the local delicatessen, gift shop and café, with a delightful courtyard where you can sit and relax with a coffee and some delicious cake. Just a few miles down the road there are the stunning sandy beaches at Holkham & Wells-next-the Sea. You can book seal trips from Morston Quay, the next village on along the coast.
The half stable door to the front leads you in to a cosy living room, with a lowered solid oak floor - leaving plenty of head space - a log burner, comfortable seating and a dining table and chairs for 4, then through to a very well equipped kitchen. To the first floor there is a landing to the good sized front main bedroom which has a raised ceiling with exposed roof trusses, built in wardrobe, chest of drawers and a king sized bed. There is a modern shower room with a large rain shower, heated towel rail, oak flooring and exposed beams. The single bedroom to the rear, again with raised ceiling, is equally stylish and very cosy.
Bella's Cottage has stunning views to the front over open countryside, and its sunny south-facing garden with a table and seating positioned amongst mature cottage plants, flowers, shrubs and a small lawn. There is a small rear courtyard, with storage space for wellies, a boot rack, and an outdoor tap - good for hosing down dirty dogs!
The cottage has hotel quality bedding and towels, duck feather and down duvets and hypo-allergenic cushions. There is also a welcome pack on arrival.
We know that Bella's cottage is going to be very popular with our guests due to its location, its comfortable interior and it's simply fantastic views.
One small to medium-sized well behaved dog allowed, but please be aware that the garden is not secure.

Lovely spot in Norfolk
A lovely little cottage in Stiffkey. It was tastefully furnished, with all the things you’d need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is well equipped, the neighbours are friendly and the pub down the road, the Red Lion, is a must.It was a great location for yomps from the front door but also an easy drive to Wells or explore the north Norfolk coast which is beautiful. The beds are very comfortable, as is the living room which is very cosy and inviting. We will be back!

Good cottage to stay
Overall good rating.Bath towels could be of better quality. Not absorbent enough. Drainage of the sink in toilet was very slow.Well equipped kitchen. We missed a bigger colander. Bed very comfortable.

Super little cottage, very clean and comfortable. The weather wasn’t on our side but the garden is so pretty & would have been a perfect place to sit out in. Absolutely great place to stay.

We loved the cottage, particularly the friendly and helpful neighbours and their dogs. The garden was wonderful in the evening. Overall, the weather was sunny and Norfolk shone brightly. Well worth it!

Lovely, clean, warm and welcoming cottage
A joy. Actually a little bigger than we expected, just the thing for a few days on the coast. Easy to sit and relax in, or to use as a base for trips around. Make sure you visit the Red Lion (don't forget to book!) and the local Stores (fresh croissants, bread and coffee from 8:30am). Would definitely stay again.
