About this property
Eastgate Cottage and Hideaway is a spacious, luxury coastal retreat offering spectacular front-line views of the marshes and the sea in Salthouse. With beautiful furnishings and stunning views, this stylish detached retreat, which includes an annexe, will prove a favourite with Hideaway guests wanting to visit this ever popular coastal village.
Characterful and charming, yet contemporary and stylish, this large and quirky luxury retreat is ideal for multi-generational families or a group of friends, with two downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms; one in the adjoining annexe where you’ll find a very spacious bedroom and bathroom with small kitchenette; and a downstairs bedroom and shower room in the main house, boasting amazing views straight out across the marsh to the sea. Upstairs (the stairs are quite steep and narrow) you'll discover two further bedrooms; a bunk room (with double bed beneath and single on top) and a king-size bedroom; the latter of which has views of the sea and marsh. Both of these rooms share a beautiful bathroom with free-standing bath.
To the rear of the main house you’ll find a practical porch area for boots and coats and space for wiping down muddy paws. From here you enter a lovely semi-vaulted kitchen/dining area with beautiful beams which is both sociable and practical with hard floors and a shaker-style kitchen, filled with everything you would need to cook whilst away on holiday. Also within this area is a dining table and chairs plus a bench for inside dining. The cosy, warm and spacious sitting room comes into its own during the winter months with its wood burning stove, and there are plenty of sofas and comfortable seating too, making it the perfect place to relax after a busy day walking or exploring. The sitting room also offers opportunities to read or simply watch the wildlife that live on the marsh; binoculars are provided for you to make the most of this property's spectacular location. On long summer days, enjoy dining outside in the peaceful south-facing garden on the large terrace, or on sunny mornings, take breakfast on the front terrace overlooking the sea.
The annexe provides further accommodation, with a king-size bed, modern shower room, well equipped little kitchen and comfortable seating area, ideal for a little more independence for extended family and friends. You can also book both properties separately for smaller groups, as Eastgate Cottage Sleeps 6 and as Eastgate Hideaway Sleeps 2.
The NWT reserve at Cley-next-the-Sea is in easy walking distance, so make sure you visit when you can. Also, on cooler days, take advantage of the wonderful views afforded from their cafe upstairs. Bring your bikes and cycle the narrow lanes that make Norfolk such a special place, or enjoy a day trip to Holkham or one of two nearby National Trust properties which have wonderful parklands too; Felbrigg or Blickling.

Fabulous cottage, very comfy and really well equipped. Lovely views, spent lots of time with our binos and saw so many birds and wildlife. Great walks in all directions from cottage too. We really enjoyed Titchwell and the starling murmurations at Cley. Holt great for shopping and The Dun Cow super food as always. We have been coming to Salthouse for the last twenty years and found this cottage to be one of the nicest we have stayed in. Many thanks to the owners and the cleaner, and we appreciated the little hamper, as did Tilly our cocker spaniel. âSad to be going home!! Thank you.

We have enjoyed family time in your lovely cottage and revisiting the North Norfolk coast. Loved the views over the saltmarshes and beach walks. Boat trip to see the seal rookery was lovely. Great opportunity to visit family. Nice meal at The Dun Cow. Went to the much hyped Gunton Arms. Needed a head torch to see the menu - very pretentious!!

A wonderful week of beach walks and pub lunches. A great cottage for watching the marsh.
