Burnham Overy Staithe harbour
Floorplan
Harbour/Beach
A picturesque fishing and sailing harbour with multiple winding tidal creeks and salt marshes stretching from the harbour side and leading to sand dunes: the biggest known as Gun Hill. From Burnham Overy Staithe you can take a scenic walk to Gun Hill which takes about half an hour. In the summer there is lovely wildlife to be spotted including wading birds and beautiful butterflies. A gap in the dunes, locally known as Burnham Harbour, opens up and there are miles of golden sandy beaches stretching out towards Holkham and Wells to be admired. During the summer there is a ferry out to the nature reserve of Scolt Head Island which is a lovely trip for bird watchers and seal spotters.
Village
An area of outstanding natural beauty, the village is a large hamlet and a great destination for your stay. The views across the harbour are lovely whatever time of year you decide to visit. There is a great little gastro pub in the centre of the village called The Hero (in honour of Admiral Lord Nelson) which has a great menu of tasty dishes. Also, in the centre of the village there is a large playing field with hard tennis courts and basketball area and a children’s playground. Just outside the village is the noticeable landmark of the stunning six-storey Burnham Overy Windmill and neighbouring watermill, although neither are open to the public, they stand proud on the edge of the village, a beautiful sight when the sun catches the sails against Norfolk's big blue skies. In June Burnham Overy Staithe hosts the popular Norfolk Superhero Challenge, a quadraphonic event where teams of 2 work together to swim, kayak, cycle and run across the beaches and through the creeks. A lovely charity event to spectate. To pop to one of the other coastal villages you can catch the Coasthopper Bus which runs along the coast through many of the delightful villages and seaside towns - a great green way to explore the coast and without the worry of where to park!
History
Part of Burnham Overy was the original port for The Burnhams and set on the river Burn. Trading ships once reached the village by the river until the end of the Middle Ages when the river silted up and along with it the commercial trade. Until the end of the First World War the trading ships used the Staithe. This made a distinction between the two villages Burnham Overy Town and Burnham Overy Staithe that exist a mile apart from one another today. The most notable resident of Burnham Overy Staithe is Richard Woodget who resided at one of our cottages Flagstaff East/West and was the captain of the Cutty Sark. Horatio, Admiral Lord Nelson according to letters learned to row and sail a dinghy at Burnham Overy Staithe at the age of 10 just two years before joining the Navy.
Visit
A great central location on the north Norfolk Coast right on the coastal path ideal for popping on your walking books and walking for about 30 minutes to reach the glorious wide open beach. If you are looking for family days out there are the beaches of Wells and Brancaster where you can park nearby and reach the beaches within a few steps.

Most enjoyable stay at Aster House. House is in a wonderful position, overlooking the Staithe. Picture window in lounge gives a fantastic panoramic view, towards the sea. Constantly changing water levels, activities, birds, sunsets and sunrises. House spacious, high spec. Beds very comfortable Hero pub just up the road does a good Sunday lunch, bus stop opposite, good bus service to Kings Lynn. We enjoyed watching High tide on Sunday, watching the water coming in, activities, paddle boarding, swimming, canoeing, sailing. Walk to beach, watching bird life, swans, geese. Sight of deer as well as belted Galloway.s sunsets. Mostly from House window! Trips exploring Norfolk coast line. One of group experienced a sail on welcome boat.
We loved Aster House. As a family party with ages ranging from two to ninety four it provided something for everyone. The view is truly stunning. There is always something different to see and the sunsets are mesmerising. Aster house is very well equipped and the decor is lovely. Lots of books and games were appreciated. Burnham Overy really is one of the nicest places on this coast. We didn’t venture out as much as we expected because there is so much on the doorstep to see and do. We enjoyed the views from Aster House Watching the swifts Ferry to Island Walks to beach We made good use of the local playground and tennis courts (you can buy a weeks membership)
Enjoyed a lovely week watching the tide and the boats! Great place to stay The view + swimming and kayaking in the creak and lovely walks.Had a fab week - thank you.
Wonderful house with superb views from the upstairs lounge.Everything was very clean and all needs catered for even the dog with its own bed! One of the best equipped houses we have ever stayed in.Thank you for a lovely week.we enjoyed the ferry trip to Scolt Head Island from the Hard infront of the house and in particular Burnham Market with its aray of shops.The crab hut at Brancaster Staithe is not to be missed if you enjoy seafood. Also plenty of walking along the coastal path which is adjacent to Aster House.
We really enjoyed our stay in this property. It provided the perfect location to take the grand children to Wells beach, where they had lots of fun. The young adults explored the coastal walks and they were keen to kayak next time. The large picture window provide excellent views of the beautiful surroundings. We even had the excitement of high tides and a stranded car. The Hero pub, a few minutes away, provided excellent meals and a break from cooking. Obviously location - proximity to Wells-next-the-sea and Burnham Market. The ever changing view of estuary and creek. Walking to nearby coastal path proved a BIG hit.
Beautifully situated to take advantage of one of Britain's best views, this house had all we needed for a happy family holiday. Thank you.
Fabulous Celebration with family and friends. Very well equipped and located. We loved the house!
Great location... amazing view. Spacious and bright. Such comfortable mattresses. Well equipped. Fabulous sun trap in the garden. Easy access to the coastliner 36 bus route, Staggering distance to the Hero Pub that have a fabulous menu. 30 minute walk along picturesque path to the amazing beach. We loved it!
Packing a picnic and walking the path to the beach and sitting up in the dunes - no one else around - heavenly views and never-ending blue skies.
Spacious accommodation with stunning views.
We have had the most fabulous week staying here at Aster House. The location, design and quality is first class, and there aren't many places that can beat that view from the lounge window. The 6 of us and both dogs have enjoyed long walks, sandy beaches. Great food and drink and we have laughs all week. A thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing week. Thank You!
We had a wonderful stay at Aster House- Thank you! We return to London & Essex with our hearts and eyes full of a landscape we love and a suitcase full of sand and mussy wetsuits, refreshed and ready for the jubilee celebrations in the capital. We loved the house, big & spacious with a dining table big enough to entertain - and we could lose ourselves forever in the views from the sitting room window. By the way the BBQ set up was excellent. We put it to good use!
The house is amazing. Well thought out and comfortable. The furnishings, kitchen, beds and bedding and towels were all very luxurious
