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.

Lovely home from home. Excellent location for exploring the North Norfolk coast. Definitely looking forward to coming back and staying here again. Perfect location and cosy home. Private parking was really valuable.
A very convenient placed cottage for all pubs, harbour and local stores. Nice to have off road parking behind cottage. The Jolly Sailors and White Horse are great places to eat. Amazing food and wine at the White Horse, also great service.
Lovely cottage in a great location. Walking out along the spit yesterday morning and watching the sun rise!
The cottage was very comfortable in a convenient location. We loved Brancaster Beach and our day at Wells Next The Sea. The Jolly Sailors was a good spot for drinks and snacks.
A beautiful cottage with just about everything you need for a good holiday.Everything was very clean, warm & welcoming, I was worried the bunk beds would be too small for my teenage grandchildren but they are a good sze & sturdy! Lovely little courtyard that catches the sun. Lovely local walks, being able to make a log fire when it got cold.Visited National Trust propertys. Sea fishing.
Good weather, good food at the Whitehorse and Crab hut.covered area in the garden.
Lovely, comfortable, clean, well-equipped cottage with everything we needed. The walled garden area with its glass canopy was perfect for sitting outside and safe for our dogs. We really enjoyed our week at Avocet Cottage and walking in this beautiful part of Norfolk. Great location - coastal walks and walks around Barrow Common. Great Coast liner Bus enabled us to explore without taking the car. The cottage provided the perfect base.
Wonderful cottage in a beautiful location. We had a lovely stay, the cottage was clean, tidy and very comfortable.
Avocet Cottage is a wonderful cottage in a lovely location. We were near the beach and had a great meal at the White Horse restaurant just a 5 minute walk away.
Lovely cottage with comfy sofas and beds. Kitchen well equipped although we ate out during our short stay. Great location situated between two good pubs and access to Staithe for early morning dog walking

We started here for 7 days and stayed for 28! Waiting for our new house to exchange and complete, we couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. Very warm and cosy, enclosed safe courtyard for our dog. The kitchen is well equipped. We have explored North Norfolk and particularly love Holkham and Wells. We will be back!!
Lovely cottage. We stay somewhere on the north coast of Norfolk for this week every year and this is a particularly good place to stay. Out and about birdwatching every day despite the weather. Ale at the White Horse - highly recommended. Generally had a lovely few days!
A lovely stay in a gorgeous little cottage, lots of fabulous walks and wonderful meals in both the White Horse and teh Orange Tree. A super lunch at Back to the Garden in Holt. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
A wonderful short break for the end of the the summer. Amazing weather - long walk to Burnham Market and a day on the beach. Lots of chat and many laughs. A lovely little cottage and great location. The Fish Shed is incredible and the little NISA store very well stocked. Sad to leave.
We had an excellent week, weather hot! Lovely location. The White Horse serves lovely meals. Everything was great!
Our second time in Avocet Cottage and another excellent stay. Weather sadly didn't cooperate - cloudy and windy all week. Really good food at The Ship Inn, Brancaster. Holkham beach still by far the best for dogs. Thanks for a lovely cottage to stay in and enjoy this part of Norfolk.
