The Cottage Manor

This rural retreat is a cosy family-friendly cottage on the Norfolk Coast. Outside, there is plenty of charm, especially with a front and back garden to sip wine on summer evenings. The interior is inviting but minimal, with a farmhouse-style kitchen, breakfast bar, and two dishwashers to make clear-ups effortless after a barbecue. When it comes to location, the Southrepps Nature Reserve is great for birdwatching, and Trimingham Beach is around ten minutes by car.

Home truths
We suggest hiring a car for ease – there's parking space for up to two cars.
A wheelchair-friendly ramp leads up to an independent entrance and a ground-floor bedroom with an en-suite – perfect for those with limited mobility.
There's a study here should you need to catch up on work during your stay. The phone signal can be a little patchy, however.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance and bring your own cot linen.
You may wish to pick up some bits and bobs to get you started here. The nearest supermarket is 1.5 miles away.
