Lovely Salthouse Rental

This picture-postcard period cottage is in the delightful coastal village of Salthouse, on Norfolk's north coast. The property sleeps four guests, making it ideal for both small families and couples. Enjoy walks directly from your front door across the wildlife-rich saltmarsh or along the secluded, shingle beach. Nearby days out include the seaside resort of Cromer (9.5 miles) and the vibrant market town of Holt (4 miles).

The former fisherman's cottage is a traditional brick and flint property and is reached via a cute garden path. Inside, the characterful lounge offers a warm welcome, with a cosy wood burner set in the original fireplace. Relax here, after a long walk, to read a book or watch the TV/DVD. The farmhouse-style kitchen/diner is a sociable spot for sharing mealtimes as a group, with everything needed for a self-catering holiday and a large, wooden table to seat everyone. Completing the ground floor is a contemporary bathroom and a separate shower room. The two coastal-themed bedrooms are upstairs. The cottage benefits from two enclosed gardens - one at the front and one to the rear - so you can follow the sun throughout the day. The sunny patio area to the rear has a table and chairs for dining alfresco.

Salthouse is a charming coastal village with several places to eat, including a friendly pub and a popular crab shack. The village backs onto a saltmarsh, which is home to many rare birds, making it a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. You'll find some beautiful footpaths to explore through Salthouse Heath, providing unrivalled views along the coast, as well as the opportunity to marvel at the fascinating Bronze Age burial ground. The shingle beach is 0.5 miles from the cottage, and you can take strolls along the shoreline to Kelling or Cley-next-the-Sea.
