Coast/Beach
The cottage is situated about 6 miles from the wide expanses of the north Norfolk coast and its beautiful beaches. Holkham. Brancaster and Wells beaches are popular
However due to vastness of the coastline there are many areas where you can be away from the crowds even in the height of the season.
There are areas of marshland which attract an abundance of wildlife - it is a bird watchers paradise.
Local trips to see the seals are popular and entertaining
kite surfing/ kart is at Hunstanton.
Special interest holidays
The north Norfolk coast is always popular with bird watchers. There is a nature reserve at Titchwell and Holme-next-the sea.
Travel
There is no need to venture outside the pretty village of South Creake. However if you do, then the use of a car is recommended as the bus link is infrequent.

There is a decent pub called The Ostrich in the village and North Creake has the homely Farmers Inn. There are so many good pubs with a whole range of prices in the area - details in the cottage. Historically there are a number of Stately homes and Castles, the Sandringham and Holkham estates welcome visitors and have nice tearooms. Castle Rising and Castle Acre are well worth a visit.

Guest comments
I have used this cottage on several occasions and have found it clean, cosy and of a high standard. The village itself is delightful and for me a great base for exploring the many attractions. In the summer the private garden is a sun trap and delightful for outside dining. Mr. G. Knight, Leicester

About the owner
Hello!
My family and I have always loved coming to Norfolk. I bought the cottage in 2002 and have had fun renovating it. I live and work in Leicester so within 2 hours I can be at the cottage. It is a world away from city life and a real stress buster!
The cottage was built in 1790 it now has all mod cons. It has an enclosed garden which is a lovely sun trap, ideal for eating outside. There is a parking space outside the door.
There is a great pub in walking distance in the pretty village. The green has a playground and a stream with ducks. A few miles away is the fashionable Georgian town of Burham Market which has excellent food and clothes shops as well as the famous Hoste Arms Inn.
The North Norfolk Coast line and beautiful beaches are about 6 miles away.
Fantastic!
Year purchased: 2002
