Formally the grain store it is attached the 200-year-old Brewery House and has bags of personality and offers charm in spades. And it has quite the pedigree too as it was previously voted one of the top 30 cosiest cottages in England, making this a must-book property! Here you will find a relaxing living room with a wonderful wood burner to snuggle up in front of, maybe with a great book or perhaps while you catch up on some boxset viewing in front of the Smart TV. Also on the ground floor you will find a contemporary, well equipped kitchen and a bathroom with twin basin units and a luxurious, deep feature bath with a rainfall shower above.
On the open-plan first floor you’ll discover a high-quality kingsize bed, which feels so spacious because of the exposed beams and vaulted ceiling and is perfect for long lie-ins. There is also a small bistro seating area at the front of the property, great for both a morning coffee and an evening sundowner. The beach is just 5 minutes away- head to Mundesley for its wide sandy beach and then take the pretty coast road, winding your way through Norfolk stone villages until you reach Cromer where you will find a host of great places to shop, eat and drink along with that famous pier. Two award-winning gastro pubs are within a ten-minute drive.
Head West a little further and take a seasonal boat trip to see the seals or do some crab-lining on Blakeney Quay.
Check out the Thursford Collection with its Christmas Spectacular or potter around the Georgian Town of Holt with its unique high street. You can also be in the heart of the Broads in around 25 minutes where you can charter a day launch or join a tour and make like Swallows and Amazons as you drift along these much-celebrated waterways. There are lots of great places to eat locally too, which is just as well as you will be sure to have worked up an appetite with all the sightseeing.

Comfortable, clean, well-equipped cottage. Great for us (an older couple) and our dog. The welcome hamper was exceptional Two minor issues - the shower was a little awkward to use, both to step into and to control the temperature; and our success in using the Skybox TV set up was a bit erratic - perhaps a simple idiot’s guide would have been helpfulBut overall we enjoyed our stay and it was a good base for exploring the north eastern area of Norfolk

Would definitely recommend The Maltings to friends and family, excellent little cottage which was decorated to a high standard. The hamper which greeted us when arriving was most excellent and the dog treets were well received by our two dogs. The cottage is well placed for day trips out, especially close to the beaches.
