Many of the homes in Snettisham, a classic Norfolk village, are constructed from the local iron-rich carr stone, giving them an appealing golden-brown hue. The locals have taken to calling them "gingerbread houses" because of this. There are convenience stores, a post office, two hotels, a cafe, and a bus stop that runs often to the nearby towns of Hunstanton (a popular seaside destination for families) and King's Lynn (a historic town). The church of St. Mary stands alone atop the hill, and its west window, with its intricate tracery flowers, is well worth a visit. The beach is only three miles away, and there is an rspb bird sanctuary near the shore. Additionally, the historic Peddars Way public footpath passes through the neighbourhood. Located just outside of town, Park Farm is a working farm where visitors of all ages may enjoy activities like a 45-minute "deer safari" and the opportunity to feed the animals. Norfolk Lavender is England's premier lavender farm, and its plant farm, tea rooms, and gift store are conveniently located near the Royal Estate of Sandringham, which is home to the monarchy but is available to the public.
Note: This property shares a garden with its annex Granary Cottage, ref: 1124516, which sleeps two and can be booked as a wonderful addition for extra guests to enjoy.

Thank you so much.

Fabulous host, plumber round within an hour to fix blocked shower tray. Wonderful secure garden for children and dog. Every possible utensil you would ever need in the kitchen. Games galore. At the end of the day we had comfy beds to snooze ready for the next day of adventures.

The location is first rate (pubs, Coop, restaurants within 3 minutes walk) as is the location of Snettisham for access to coast and other destinations. Just right for a large family or a group of friends - you can be together or find a bit of space.
