Guests say
The Old Candle Shop in Little Walsingham is a highly praised, cosy cottage, celebrated for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location for exploring North Norfolk. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bedding, and the convenience of a nearby farm shop. The cottage's quaintness and responsive hosts add to the positive experience, though some guests missed having outdoor space and a welcome pack.
Guests consistently mention the immaculate condition of the cottage, noting it is very clean and smells lovely upon arrival.
The cottage is well-situated for visiting North Norfolk, with easy access to local attractions and amenities, including pubs and a farm shop.
The majority of guests find the cottage comfortable and cosy, with a particularly comfy bed, though preferences for mattress firmness vary.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and good shower pressure. Some guests noted limited kitchen storage and work surface area, and a desire for a later checkout option.
While guests are pleased with the overall experience, the lack of a guaranteed welcome pack, as mentioned in one review, means thoughtfulness cannot be fully assessed. Small toiletries and biscuits on arrival were suggested enhancements, but not consistently mentioned.

So, whether you are a wild swimmer, a pleasure-paddler, a sun worshipper or a coastal walker, you will be spoilt for choice. This area is beautiful year-round and there is nothing quite like a blustery off-season beach walk to clear the cobwebs away. Add in great walks, history galore, wildlife in abundance and so very much more and you will soon see why this part of Norfolk is so popular. You may even have to come back just to fit it all in. And when you do, you’ll be sure to choose The Old Candle Shop for your next stay too. Parking - there are three spaces immediately opposite the property where you can park all day and night.

We loved staying at the old candle shop. We’ve been in many holiday cottages over several years but this one is one of the best! Very stylish, very comfortable and lovely village. Loved having the amazing farm shop over the road. And many lovely places in easy driving distance. Can’t find fault with it really. No parking space wasn’t really an issue as we just parked over the road or a short walk away.

Wonderful 2 days in this beautiful, clean, cosy cottage. Everything was immaculate and we could not want for anything more! Great pub recommendations too for the Black Lion in Walsingham and The Hero in Burnham.
