About this property
The Old Dormitory presents a fabulous opportunity to stay within touching distance of the golden sands and the glorious sunsets for which the mediaeval village has found acclaim. This unique property is truly a hybrid of a classical holiday retreat and of a beach house, where you can simply walk out of the gate and go straight onto the beach!

Stepping inside, you are greeted with the main living area, comprised of a dining area, kitchen and sitting room. The space is blessed with natural light and numerous windows, giving rise to a light airy space, where the group can relax, eat or gather for fun. The area is well-connected with the outside decked area, allowing everyone to spread out, while keeping everyone close.
The bedrooms and bathrooms are spread across the ground and first floors and include three king-size beds and one bunk room with full-size bunk beds. The bedrooms are supported by three bathrooms, ensuring that larger groups are well-catered for. Having been dressed with fine while linens, the bedrooms here are certainly not that of you typical beach retreat.
Outside, the location again comes to the fore, with the beach cafe and beach being just over the fence. The enclosed outdoor area has been prepared with dining furniture that will comfortably accommodate eight people. A gas barbecue is also supplied. There is also a rear garden that has a small area of grass and mature planting - good for a discrete sunbathe. Off road parking is also available for two cars, which is a tremendous help on the busier days in the summer.
Additional Information:
Two well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).
Travel cot and high chair available on request. Please bring your own linen for the travel cot.
Bedding is hypo-allergenic synthetic.
Please bring your own original size pods for the Nespresso coffee machine.

The house is really good and the beds are super comfy! The best thing is the secret gate to the beach.Recommend: Bircham Windmill, Wash Monster (Searles Sea Tours), Funfair at Hunstanton (you can see it from the boat!), RNLI station (practice rescue on Sundays and kids water safety club).

What a wonderful cottage. Excellent facilities, clean, homely with the BEST location. I am already looking at 2026 dates, so we're hoping to return soon! The Pet Shop Boys at Sandringham was a holiday highlight this year! Recommend Henry's fish and chips in Hunstanton, Wells-next-the-Sea, Sheringham, Old Town Beach Cafe Old Hunstanton (staff are very friendly, vegan ice cream five star). Thank you for having us.
