About this property

Resting in the picturesque village of Heacham in Norfolk is this superb, terraced cottage, Bay Tree Cottage. Set over two floors and sleeping up to four guests, Bay Tree Cottage is a well-designed and beautifully presented accommodation, perfect for families with lots of space to relax amongst the comfortable furnishings. The cosy village sets a homely tone from the outset and reflects a warming nature that is continued on the inside. Entering through the main entrance, you will be welcomed by a lovely sitting room, with leather seating, a woodburning stove and a fireplace that echoes nothing but character. The dining room hosts a country feel with wooden tables and chairs, making a great place to enjoy breakfast while escaping into your favourite book. A spacious kitchen is a breath of fresh air, carrying a cream overcoat, and fully equipped to meet your needs. Tucked into the corner, you will also find a warmly tiled cloakroom for an added effect. Follow a winding staircase to the next floor and a double bedroom awaits with an almost seaside theme, elevated by a vibrant feature wall, and soothing colours. A twin room neighbours this, with a bright seaside theme, and views of the garden. Lastly, a family bathroom is laced with charming wall panels, and includes everything you need to unwind after a long day.

Wander through the glorious 100 acres of Norfolk Lavender fields where you will also find an on-site restaurant, children’s farm and a gift shop, perfect for picking up a souvenir. For a fun-filled family day, head to Heacham South Beach, where you can beachcombe the shores, build sandcastles with the little ones or soak up the sun with your favourite book. For those who have brought their clubs, visit the excellent 18-hole golf course at Heacham Manor Golf Club, which also boasts a boutique spa AA rosette dining and bars.

    Warm and cosy. Good log burner. Kitchen had everything you would need except the dishwasher isn’t working properly. It leaves dirty water in the bottom. We ended up washing everything by hand. Just felt there were some maintenance issues in the cottage. Already mentioned the dishwasher. Over half the coffee mugs were dirty and needed a good soak in some bleach. Table lamp left of the fireplace not working. Night light at the top of the stairs not working and bedside clock in main bedroom not working. The cottage really needs an information folder about how to use the central heating, tv, dishwasher etc and also where to eat in the village, takeaways, pubs etc. This is the first Sykes cottage we have stayed at where there has been no welcome pack. With a bit more TLC this cottage could be a little gem.

  • Eileen

    There is plenty of crockery and cutlery appropriate to using the dishwasher, throws if its cold, an Air Fryer and plenty of pots and pans. In the drawers there is a first aid kit and spare light bulbs. The bathroom/shower room is to die for! I have stayed in many properties over the years and this is by far the best, making it a home from home. I'd recommend it and will stay again in the future.

  • Lena

    The shower was very temperamental but otherwise all good.( a welcome pack would've been nice, we've always had one before in cottages)
