Nestled in the sleepy village of Little Barningham, this delightful holiday cottage blends original character features with contemporary style for an enticing Norfolk escape. Providing accommodation for up to five guests, this light and welcoming property is perfect for couples or small families seeking a tranquil base within easy reach of the area’s many attractions. After a busy day exploring, return home to snuggle in front of the wood burner or enjoy a cuppa or glass of wine on the sunny garden bench.

Set down a quiet lane and overlooking fields, this two-storey cottage has been renovated to a high standard. Original latched doors and exposed beams add character, while light walls offer a sense of space. Ideal for socialising, the ground floor is open plan with a homely lounge at one end featuring two cosy sofas arranged either side of the wood burner and a TV for family nights in.

Such a fab holiday had here. The property had everything we needed and more. The local areas of Holt, Sheringham, Cromer were great for walks, and The Pigs at Edgefield was great for dinner! Couldnt have asked for a better base to explore North Norfolk.

Wow what a fabulous home. We have made great memories here with the kids and will treasure this forever. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed for a great stay. The layout of the house is brilliant and works great with the kids. We especially liked Holt, Sheringham and Cromer for shops, restaurants and walks.

What a beautiful place to stay for Christmas! The home had everything we could have asked for and the location with wildlife was a huge bonus. We had lovely local walks in the crisp and fresh air. We have had a wonderful time here and will recommend to all friends and family. Thanks so much for letting us stay in this wonderful part of Norfolk.

Lovely cottage in wonderful surroundings. The cottage is well equipped and provided a perfect back for us and our 2 children to explore Norfolk. Would recommend Sheringham and Cromer beach, although for a quieter beach closer by Overstrand is lovely. - just check the tide times if you want sand. Holt country park and then the town on a rainy day wRead moreas lovely too! The kids both loved bewilderwood, thought pricey, bring your own food. Speaking of food The Pigs in Edgefield was yummy and had a good kids play area! All in all a fabulous stay in a beautiful location and wouldn't hesitate to stay in this charming cottage again. Thanks. Hide
