Holiday Cottages Norfolk

Here's what you can see and do when staying at one of our Norfolk cottages.

A visit to Norfolk offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of busy life and where better to relax than in one of our Norfolk holiday cottages. Around every corner you will find pretty villages of traditional Norfolk cottages, miles of unspoilt beaches, countryside and rivers teeming with wildlife, relaxed towns and, in Norwich, one of the best preserved cities in England. As one of the ideal destinations for a short break staying in holiday cottages Norfolk ranks high.

Much of Norfolk's coastline is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The coastline stretches over 40 miles with long sandy beaches, crumbling cliffs, flint pebble banks and salt marshes. Former fishing ports such as Cromer and Sherringham are now bustling seaside resorts yet still retain their own character. Just inland is Kings Lynn, once one of England's most prosperous ports. A few warehouses and merchants' houses by the river still survive. Nearby is Sandringham, the Norfolk country home of the royal family, open to the public during summer months. The village of Walsingham is famous as a place of pilgrimage for people of many faiths to this day; in the middle ages it was known as the Nazareth of England and ranked alongside Rome and Jerusalem in importance as a place of pilgrimage. A little further inland is Swatham, the best preserved Georgian town in East Anglia.

If you are staying at any of our Norfolk holiday cottages a visit to Norwich is recommended. It is a lovely old city with a magnificent cathedral, Elm Hill, one of the finest medieval streets in the country and the castle which is now a museum and art gallery. The Broads are situated between Norwich and the coast and boast over 124 miles of navigable waterways.

There are historic market towns and villages to explore, the tranquil countryside offers green fields, river valleys and fenland. South Norfolk stretches from the south of Norwich to the Suffolk border, including the peaceful Waveney Valley and Thetford Forest, the largest lowland pine forest in Britain, popular for mountain biking with marked trails for all levels. From our holiday cottages Norfolk and these attractions await exploration.
