Dating back to the 17th century, Meadow Cottage is packed with period charm, while offering all the modern conveniences needed for a lovely holiday. Boasting a lovely garden and a wood burner, this is the perfect year-round choice for your Norfolk break. Featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms, this pretty little semi-detached cottage is tucked away in a rural idyll with a children’s play area just down the road but is still close to lots of the highlights of this much-loved county.
Head to Wells-next-the-Sea and sit quayside while the little fishing and sailing boats bob on the tide. Or explore Staithe Street, which is packed with artisan and boutique shops, cafés and restaurants. Then go down to the wide sandy beach, one of the best in the area, and see the pretty painted beach huts. If you are a coast lover you will find so many habitats to explore along this coastline from rolling sand dunes and salt and clay marshes to sand and shingle beaches, quays, and fishing available nearby.
History buffs will enjoy visits to the Holkham, Houghton, Sandringham, and Blickling Estates along with a trip on North Norfolk railway and visits to the Muckleburgh and Thursford Collections, the latter of which hosts its famous Christmas Spectacular and is home to Santa’s Magical Journey every year.
Make time to visit the Georgian market town of Holt with its unique High Street. This pretty little town is a firm favourite with locals and is great to just potter around. Nature lovers will find many habitats to explore including RSPB Cley Marshes, Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, and Sheringham Park and you can make a trip to the Norfolk Broads from here too, and be in the heart of them in just 50 minutes. Add in Amazonia Zoo, Cromer Pier, Fakenham races and so much more and you will soon see why this part of Norfolk is so very popular. And then you get to return to lovely Meadow Cottage for a glass of something chilled in the garden or cosy up by the wood burner. Just perfect. Beach 13 miles.

What a great place to unwind! A stunning location and beautiful comfortable cottage. Perfect for our two anxious rescue pointers to romp around the garden and lovely dog friendly neighbours. Looking forward to staying again...and again

We really enjoyed our stay at Meadow Cottage.
We really enjoyed our stay at Meadow Cottage. Great location which was very quiet with a lovely enclosed garden and a good place to walk our two dogs. The cottage was well equipped and very warm. The log burner was especially appreciated as the evenings were rather cold. Location wise Meadow Cottage was close to many beaches where we liked to walk our dogs and close to many farm shops that we like to use to do our food shopping. We would like to return in the future.

There was a problem with the kitchen tap but that was soon sorted by the owners.
There was a problem with the kitchen tap but that was soon sorted by the owners. The only negative was that it is a little dark in the living room and there are no amenities in the village, however overall it is a beautiful cottage in a fabulous location. Perfectly situated for exploring Norfolk.
