Samphire Cottage (BS), Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk

A pretty former Victorian coastguard station with distant marsh views, Samphire Cottage is situated right in the centre of this popular fishing village and is within easy walking distance of two fabulous pubs/restaurants and the famous Fish Shed, where you can buy fresh fish which has literally been landed in the harbour a few hours before! A good base any time of year, families or couples, you will love its close proximity to the coast path and to the sandy beaches at Brancaster, Titchwell, Holme and Wells-next-the-Sea. Located on the coast road, the property is cosy and well equipped. It is freshly styled, adorned with local photographs and conveniently furnished for a holiday by the sea. With an open-plan sitting/dining room, leading through to a practical modern kitchen and small hallway, leading to a family bathroom and stairs to the first floor, this little bolthole is a comfortable seaside retreat. Upstairs you will find three well-appointed bedrooms; one double bedroom with a window to the front providing partial, distant marsh and sea views; a single bedroom and a twin bedroom to the rear. A south facing, landscaped and fully-enclosed rear garden with garden furniture is the perfect spot to catch the sun's rays after a busy day exploring. In terms of where you to eat, you are well and truly spoilt… as you're in easy walking distance of the family-friendly Jolly Sailor's pub/restaurant (where you can also enjoy take-away pizzas); the renowned White Horse gastro pub/restaurant, with its stunning views over the marsh from its veranda and dining conservatory; and Deepdale Café where you can enjoy a hearty breakfast or lunch throughout the year. Additional Information: One well behaved dog welcome (small additional charge).
