Perfect 3 bedroom home for a relaxing break by the sea with friends/family/pets

An attractive and comfortable victorian cottage, once occupied by the local coastguard, the house retains period features alongside modern facilities. It is situated in a perfect position to explore the beautiful Norfolk coast and countryside.

Off road parking is provided at the front of the cottage next to the garden fence. The cottage is accessed through a gate along a path through the sunny garden with flower boarders and a picnic bench. The path goes along the side of the house to a further enclosed garden and patio with seating and BBQ at the rear. Beyond the rear garden wall is a field and track (Watch Lane) leading to a lovely sandy beach and sea, just a short distance to carry your bucket and spade. The beach is both dog and child friendly but if you prefer to sit away from our furry friends there is also a dog free beach.

Entry to the cottage is at the back via a side gate. Security lighting is provided at front, back and side. Access to the cottage is via the key safe next to the door. After unlocking the door you will step into a hall and find the well equipped fitted kitchen which overlooks the rear garden. The smallest room, the WC is opposite with fitted basin and toilet.

Further down the hall past the coat hooks is the lounge/diner with an extending pine dining table and chairs seating up to 6. A light and sunny room with 2 large sash windows overlooking the front garden.

Two large leather sofas and a footstool provide comfortable seating in front of the beautiful Victorian cast iron and tiled fireplace (lovely for open fires in the winter). there's a Smart TV, free Wifi, a few books and guides and a selection of board games, cards etc for your entertainment.

Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, one double and one with adult size bunk beds overlooking the front garden and the rear bedroom with a small double bed overlooking the rear garden, field and a glimpse of the sea beyond. Off the landing is the small bathroom with a bath with shower over and a basin.

Perfect Easter break
We needed a relaxing family break and luckily found this gem of a cottage. We visited Norfolk last year loved it and weren't disappointed this time. The house is just a stone's throw from Walcott Beach and was perfect for our family of four. It was clean and tidy on arrival with everything we needed. As others have mentioned, the toilet and bathroom are compact, but it didn't bother us and we soon got used to them. The owner, Diana, was quick to answer my silly questions and was very friendly. The beds all had good mattresses and we all slept well, which is sometimes difficult in a strange house. We only stayed five nights but could have stayed longer. The area is beautiful with long sandy beaches, some of them home to hundreds of seals, lots of interesting walks and all amenities nearby. We recommend the local Kingfisher chippy - excellent crisp batter and delicious chips. Check times though as it was closed when we first tried to eat there. I can't recommend Coastguard Cottage enough and feel lucky we managed to find it.

Bacton cottage
Kitchen, living room and bedrooms were excellent, however the main entrance door was very difficult to lock/unlock, the toilet is squeezed under the stairs and very difficult to manoeuvre in and the stairs are very steep.

Quaint Cottage
We and our dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this very comfortable quaint cottage, just 5 minutes from great beaches. The rear and front enclosed gardens were perfect to relax in and for our dog to run around. We would highly recommend it and look forward to staying there again.

Perfect coastal cottage
Our stay was exactly what we wanted - lots of walks both beach and woods, 4 mins walk to dog friendly beach for early morning and evening dog walks, exceedingly gorgeous cake shop 1min away, and close enough to other towns ( Cromer, Norwich, Sheringham, Caister) for trips out. A perfect relaxed week, would definitely return.

Genuinely minutes to the beach!
Pretty, comfortable cottage with safe enclosed garden that was great for the dog. A genuinely very short walk on a quiet track to the beautiful quiet sandy beach. Great dog friendly cafe almost next door with amazing cakes! We’ll be back :)
