Tucked at the heart of the coastal village of Weybourne, this characterful brick-and-flint cottage offers a treat of a retreat. Sleeping four guests in two bedrooms and welcoming up to two playful pups, this stylish abode seamlessly mixes original features with chic, contemporary decor. After days spent exploring the North Norfolk coast and getting salty and sandy at the beach, you’ll love returning here to snuggle in the cosy lounge and enjoy a sundowner on the peaceful patio.

Arranged over two storeys, this cottage has a quaint exterior charm complemented by a modern, minimalist interior design. Set beneath a beamed ceiling with an inglenook fireplace and wood burner, the lounge is cosy and welcoming with large, elegant sofas and a smart TV for quiet nights in. Stretched along a long corridor, the galley-style kitchen is fresh and stylish, and well equipped for whipping up delicious meals, to be devoured in the snug dining room or on the patio table; there’s a handy BBQ out here for those balmy summer nights. When it’s time for bed, head upstairs where you’ll find two restful bedrooms, one double and one twin, along with a family bathroom.

With a popular and dog-friendly pub just along the road, everybody can enjoy a tasty meal out (there’s a superb selection of gins, too), while the village store will keep you topped up with basics. The Georgian town of Holt is just 4 miles inland, with a selection of independent boutiques, galleries, antiques shops and eateries; there’s also a delightful country park to explore. For traditional seaside fun, head to the resort towns of Cromer or Sheringham (7.5 and 3 miles respectively), while nature lovers can watch seals at Blakeney (6 miles) and observe birds at Cley Marshes (4 miles).
