A superb coastal cottage set within an acre of natural tree lined grounds, tucked away on West Runton Common. Lovingly restored and renovated with an impressive finish and keen attention to detail, this tranquil retreat offers luxury accommodation for year-round enjoyment. There is a wonderfully designed and styled internal lobby with high-tech rain-sensitive sliding roof, bringing the outside in and letting you relish the fresh sea-air. The cosy sitting room with sumptuous sofas is ideal for getting together to play games or to watch your favourite film on the smart tv. In the warmer months, throw open the French doors and let the morning sun flood in, a small garden table and chairs allows you to enjoy a coffee in the open air. The modern, well-equipped kitchen is open plan to the living and dining space in the garden room. Serve up a culinary delight and dine under the glazed lantern roof. The garden room itself can be appreciated rain or shine, open the electric roof in the warmer months or cosy up in front of the open fire box when the easterly winds are blowing.

Accommodating eight guests in two king-size bedrooms and one twin bedroom, all with en-suite shower rooms, and two single bedrooms sharing the family bathroom. The master bedroom and second bedroom both have stunning vaulted, beamed ceilings. Every room has an Alexa speaker with Spotify access. Relax and unwind in pure comfort.

A natural brook runs through the garden and there is direct access through a pretty garden gate onto a pathway that leads directly to the Common. Across the road is the Links Country Park Hotel and Golf Course with swimming pool, gym, restaurant and bar. Also a short stroll across the Common is the Bittern trainline running to Sheringham, or Cromer and on to Norwich. A 10-minute walk through the village of West Runton will take you to the beautiful sandy beach with chalk rockpools. You can walk towards Cromer or Sheringham paddling in the sea as you go, or wrap up warm on a blustery winter's day.

Myself and my 5 friends absolutely loved Southway Cottage where we stayed last weekend, it is absolutely stunning, each room and space has been thoughtfully decorated and it was spotlessly clean. The grounds are gorgeous, we had a muntjac, pheasant and squirrels as resident wildlife. It was so peaceful so an excellent place to chill out if neededRead more. It is in such a good location for getting out and visiting local areas. We went to Sheringham and on the steam train to Holt which was great fun. We had dinner in the Village Inn in West Runton on Saturday, the staff were lovely and the food was very good, so would also recommend a visit there. We would absolutely recommend staying at Southway and if we are lucky enough, would love to come back ourselves. Hide

We loved the cottage and its location.

South Way is an absolute dream! We were two families of adults and children aged 7-14. This property has the WOW factor when you arrive. The garden is beautiful and much fun for children and adults alike. With the nature around all day long, its idyllic. The property is well set out, spacious, decor is lovely (everyday I noticed something differeRead morent) and I love there is a TV only in one room, where those who want TV can gather. Likewise, there is plenty of space for individual time. It is very well equipped, youd be hard pressed not to find what you needed in the kitchen. The welcome pack of local goodies was a lovely touch and very nice. Positioning of property is ideal, across the road to train station which takes you to Sheringham, Cromer or further afield to Norwich. West Runton itself has everything you need, pub, shop, tea room etc. Beach (partly with lifeguards) again ideal, rock pools, shallow sea, lovely sand, cafe (reasonably priced) and toilets. About 10/15 min walk. There is absolutely nothing to not be happy with at South Way. Also, the staff at Original Cottages are extremely friendly and helpful if required. Hide

The teapot was bRead moreig enough for 2 only really. A first aid kit, whilst not needed may be helpful?
