From the living room you can step straight out into a large garden, with furnished patio area and charcoal BBQ.

Just over the quiet lane in front of the cottage is a large open meadow leading down to a pond, which is a shared space available for holiday guests to enjoy. This single-storey, family friendly cottage has off-road parking for 2 cars and is just a short drive away from Caister beach, making it the perfect base for families looking to explore the beauty of the Norfolk coast.
