Cosy and welcoming, The Lodge (UK32622) is a Grade II detached cottage and is sure to appeal to small families. The Apple Store (UK32623) is a first floor apartment, adjacent to the owner’s home, and is ideal for couples looking for that extra special break.

Seaside lovers will find themselves on the stunning coastline within half an hour, where you will find a variety of beach habitats from sand and shingle beaches to quays and marshes, including RSPB Cley Marsh. Visit Cromer and stroll along the pier, or go to Blakeney for a spot of crabbing on the quay. Venture a little further and head to Wells-next-the-Sea and take the narrow gauge railway to the wide, sandy beach with its lovely painted beach huts. You are also close to great walks and cycle routes along the Marriot Way, or step back in time with a visit to the beautifully preserved hamlet of Heydon. Alternatively, potter around the pretty Georgian town of Holt, or visit Sheringham Park, Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, the Thursford and Muckleburgh Collections, the Blickling and Holkham Estates, North Norfolk Railways or Amazonia Zoo.
