Guests say
Church Cottage in Stiffkey is highly praised for its warm, cosy atmosphere, stylish decor, and spacious layout. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, utility room, and comfortable beds. The property's location is ideal for local walks, with a great pub and village store nearby. The garden and bird song add to the charm, and the property is well-suited for family gatherings and celebrations.
The property is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with guests specifically noting its cleanliness. One minor mention of having to clean the BBQ and larder, but this does not detract significantly from the overall high standards observed.
The location is frequently highlighted as peaceful and lovely, with easy access to local amenities, coastal paths, and salt marshes. The proximity to a good pub and village store, as well as the scenic surroundings, contribute to the high rating.
Guests find the house very comfortable, with plenty of space, cosy rooms, and extremely comfortable beds. The property's layout and the sea air are credited for contributing to a restful sleep.
The property is well-equipped, with a good utility room and kitchen. However, a suggestion for additional coat hangers and a teapot indicates room for minor improvements. The quick resolution of a door lock issue demonstrates good maintenance.
Guests mention treats upon arrival, which indicates thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this score reflects the positive sentiment while politely noting that such gestures are a bonus rather than an expectation.
About this property
A fabulous gem of a house tucked just down from the winding coast road that runs through the much-loved village of Stiffkey, Church Cottage oozes sociable, relaxed living with Scandi-style interiors promoting an overall ambient vibe. Ideal for all manner of holidaymakers who love the big outdoors as well as the charms of this pretty village known for its Stewkey Blues, a local blue cockle.
Built in the 1980s, Church Cottage is a brick and flint detached house and has in recent years been upgraded and extended to both the front and rear, enabling an open-plan spacious living area on the ground floor to be created. This has now become the main hub of the house and, with a roof lantern overhead and a wall of both full length bi-fold and french doors, benefits from a light-filled and sunny aspect and the lovely garden view which, with its proximity to the house, helps to bring the outside in. There are two en-suite bedrooms (double and king-size) on this level, and the convenience of a useful utility/games room giving additional access to both front and rear gardens. Upstairs there are three further bedrooms (two king-size and a twin room that can be offered as a super-king size bed if preferred), along with two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite. To add to the overall feeling of quality and luxury in this super house, all the mattresses are by Emma which regularly receive 10/10 for comfort and support, guaranteeing everyone a good night's sleep
Outside, to the front of the cottage a generous driveway provides plenty of off road parking. The main garden, which faces south west, is the place to be when you feel like a quiet day at home, and fancy chilling out in a peaceful environment and, when the temperature and weather permits, contemplate or create a tasty bite to eat. The upper patio offers outside dining with a charcoal barbecue to hand if that takes your fancy. A smaller circular patio that sits at the bottom of the garden, and screened with shrubs and trees, is an ideal spot to enjoy a quiet read or that delicious coffee from the Stores!
This property is also available to book as a Sleeps six option under Church Cottage (6) (Stiffkey).

A great time for ten days with three generations in this clean and well maintained house. We found plenty of crockery, cutlery etc. The only cleaning we had to do was the bbq and the larder. The location was brilliant for seaside tours, seals and safaris, not to mention Stiffkey Stores! We would definitely recommend this one!

Fantastic house - very comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful location - very peaceful but within easy reach of amenities. Enjoyed a lovely meal at The Red Lion and numerous coffees at Stiffkey Stores. Many lovely walks, especially the local footpath down to the fantastic saltmarshes. All in all we had a wonderful holiday and would love to return next year.
