Village and Harbour

Brancaster Staithe is the coastal village nestled between Brancaster and Burnham Deepdale which flow into one almost continuous settlement. The village boasts a picturesque fishing harbour with sailing club with sailing school, two lovely pubs, The White Horse with outside dining that looks over the Staithe and has a great seasonal menu. The Jolly sailors which boasts a national family pub award, they have an outside eating area, play area and serve delicious pizza as well as putting on music events as well as an Ale festival. Near the harbour is the National Trust Activity Centre, just off the coastline is the Scolt Head Island National Nature reserve as off shore 4 mile long sand bar that extends from Brancaster to Wells-next-the-Sea. You can take a boat trip with Branta Cruises to visit the island, also great for bird watching so take your binoculars. Be sure to pop to The Fish Shed for some lovely sea food and the famous Brancaster Mussels.

On the Door Step

Burnham Deepdale merges with Brancaster Staithe and has the Dalgate Market shops, cafe, great for breakfast, tourist information and bike hire. Annual Spring Market, 1940’s weekend and The charming Christmas Market are some of the events you can visit at Dalgate market

With the Norfolk coastline being one of the most diverse in the country many of the beaches have something different to offer. The Coastal Path makes for beautiful scenic walks to take in the sea air. There is some great wildlife form the many Nature reserves, Titchwell, The Lookout in Holkham Nature Reserve and Cley Marshes Visitors Centre to name a few. Some more unusual animal encounters might be the Llamas in Wells or the beautiful seal trips from Blakeney or Morston.

The Mee's, 23rd of August 2023

The views were amazing and always something to see. We were there for a Spring tide and that was spectacular. Also being on the Coastal path was a bonus with easy walking access to The White Horse. Although the opportunities are rare I wonder if you might mention in the handbook that the property offers a tremendous opportunity to spot the Northern Lights especially given the accessible roof - there is a freeApp that alerts you to possible Aurora sightings -“AuroraWatchUK” . - we were “gnashing our teeth” when the highest red alert popped up the night after we left! but thats a good excuse to visit again. We loved the place.

The Chase's, 8th of August 2023

Excellent property in a great location. Brilliant views from the roof terrace. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in a special place that offers something a bit different from the norm. Loved being able to watch the changing views from the balcony and roof terrace. One of the best properties we’ve stayed in. Ticked all the boxes.
