About this property
Ayres Cottage is excellently located in Burnham Thorpe, a mere two miles from the stunning North Norfolk coastline and the exquisite Holkham Hall, and just one mile from the popular Georgian village of Burnham Market. This cottage beautifully encapsulates peaceful and comfortable country living, blended with modern comforts.
Constructed from authentic Norfolk brick and chalk, this charming and cosy village hideaway is the ideal retreat for a family of four, or a couple or two.

On the ground floor, the very well-equipped modern kitchen provides a table for two, where a quiet early morning coffee can be enjoyed. With an electric Range cooker and plenty of worktop space available, this is the perfect stage for any keen cooks to rustle up a delicious feast made using the local produce that is available right on the doorstep.The L-shaped sitting room has been thoughtfully curated in a relaxed style, to evoke ultimate calm. A wood burning stove set in a feature fireplace adds extra warmth and ambience. French doors open out into the cottage garden, inviting the outdoors in on warm sunny days. With seating for four guests, the dining area benefits from garden views, making it an idyllic spot to create lasting holiday memories. Upstairs, two beautifully presented bedrooms are offered. The master bedroom hosts a double bed, with twin beds provided in bedroom two. With rooms decorated in muted colours, and bed dressed in fine linens, guests will revel in a comfortable deep sleep. This rooms are served by a good-size family bathroom offering bath with shower over.
Outside, the south facing private courtyard garden is the perfect spot to read a book, dine al fresco, or perhaps share in a carafe of wine to reflect on the day's exciting events. Allocated off-road parking is available for one car on the rear driveway, and Ayres Cottage features an EV charger.

Our fourth stay at Ayres Cottage, so obviously enjoy it. Everything you need for a peaceful, comfortable stay. Good walks from the door. Burnham Market easily walkable so handy for supplies. The Lord Nelson in Burnham Thorpe only 3 mins walk is friendly with excellent food & good beer. The other Lord Nelson in Burnham Market was also very nice & welcoming, can't wait to visit again when the kitchen is up & running.

We really enjoyed the snug feel to the cottage, the village and the kitchen facilities. It probably has the best Smart TV we've ever had in a cottage for those winter evenings, with Netflix, iPlayer and Prime etc all loaded, the wood burner worked fine and the bed was very comfortable with lovely bedding.The cottage is very convenient for an excellent village pub called The Lord Nelson (who originates from the village) where we ate a couple of times (excellent Sunday roast) as well as villages/towns such as BURNHAM MARKET, Holt, Wells and beaches/walks such as those at Brancaster, Holkham, Burnham Overy Staithe, Morston, Blakeney, Wiveton, Holt, Wells etc.There are a couple of useful small supermarkets close by such as the Nisa Local at Delegate market. where you can get logs etc.Would recommend for a 4 night or 7 nights as there really is so much to do in the immediate area.
