Everything you could wish for in a holiday cottage and more! Very comfortable cottage.. Home from home comforts. Location suited us very well as we had two spaniels with us and the local beaches all allow dogs on them which is a definite positive. Thank you for a wonderful holiday in their cottage. We have had fabulous time and hope to return again.

The Sherrif's, 10th of January 2023

Lovely comfortable cottage in a fantastic position. Ideal to walk to Brancaster beach. Not far from Wells and Holkham which we like to visit. Went to Blakeney for the first time this year and had a lovely walk around the quayside. We would definitely recommend The Two Magpies Deli in Blakeney, the Deli in Wells and Thornham all lovely for drinks and food. We had an amazing fish platter at the Crab House in Wells, definitely recommend eating here but you need to book.

All Sowerbys holiday cottages are supplied with bed linen and towels and the cost of heating is included in the rental price.

Electric Vehicle charging

Cars may only be charged if there is an EV charging point fitted at the property. The cost of electricity is NOT included in the rental price and Sowerbys Holiday Cottages must be notified if the charger is used and an additional surcharge will be made. Due to insurance purposes, guests must never charge their car using a standard outdoor plug or an extension cable linking to a domestic plug. This is not permitted because of fire regulations regarding wiring, earthing rods and voltage restrictions; it poses a serious fire risk to standard 13 amp sockets and there is a real danger that the body of the vehicle could become live.
