Samphire Cottage North Norfolk Coast holiday cottage
This cosy Victorian three-bedroomed self catering holiday cottage sleeps up to five guests right at the centre of Brancaster Staithe, a thriving fishing community in the North Norfolk Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Samphire Cottage was built around 1860 and originally formed part of the local coastguard station. Located on the coast road, close to stunning beaches and moments away from the Coast Path, this is a perfect base to explore the beauty of North Norfolk.
The cottage is 300m from the Staithe (harbour). Brancaster Beach is an easy, 40 minute walk or five minute trip in the car, and at low tide it extends for miles! A little further afield, the beaches and seafronts of Hunstanton, Holkham and Wells-next-the-Sea are close by – you can even take a long walk to them and get the Coastliner bus back. Kings Lynn is 20 miles away, and Norwich a little over an hour's drive.
Just a short walk from Samphire Cottage is
The Jolly Sailors (a family, dog & muddy boot friendly pub with locally-brewed beer and good food to eat in or take away) or five minutes walk the other way,
The White Horse Inn (gastro-pub/restaurant with some of the finest dining room views in Norfolk). Locally-caught mussels and shellfish are sold within the village, and for sunny summer evenings there's a charcoal barbecue in the cottage's south-facing enclosed rear garden.
Nature lovers can marvel at the geese, oyster catchers and curlew of the Burnham Deepdale salt marshes, RSPB Titchwell is only a short cycle ride, and Wild Ken Hill is 10 miles away. The grounds of Holkham Hall and Royal Sandringham are in easy reach and boat trips from nearby Blakeney or Morston Quay will take you to see the seals at Blakeney Point. Take in the sunsets from the Staithe itself, or soak in the starry skies in this, one of the best dark sky locations in Britain.
