Bay Tree Cottage is part of a Grade II listed former vicarage which has been converted to a high specification throughout. The spacious kitchen serves as a sociable hub and is well equipped for guests who enjoy cooking. There is a large sitting room with French doors opening out into the private rear garden. Sitting on the raised sun terrace you can enjoy open views of the grazing pastures beyond. Upstairs the three beautifully presented good-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms make this a perfect place for a family or two couples.
This charming period cottage is set in a small exclusive development and benefits from two designated off street parking spaces. This is an idyllic peaceful location with access to two acres of communal woodland, only a short walk from Little Walsingham, a picturesque village of considerable historic interest, with its National Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham and the medieval ruins of the priory. The pretty village has two good pubs, cafes and a renowned local farm shop. Just 10 minutes drive away, or a short journey on the light railway, is the coastal town of Wells-next-the Sea where you can enjoy some crabbing off the quayside, discover the vast sandy beach with its beautiful beach huts and sample East Anglia’s top fish and chip shops.

Village

A village with a rich history of religion pilgrimage with two medieval monastic houses. The pretty village is like stepping back in time with many 14th and 15th Century buildings. There are plenty of individual shops and tea rooms, perfect for a delicious afternoon tea. The Walsingham Farm shop is a popular destination with an array of fresh produce including delicious pies, cheeses and meats.

Walsingham is still a major centre of pilgrimage. The Anglican Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham is a church of England shrine where the Virgin Mary is venerated and is named Our Lady of Walsingham. The shrine has a holy well known for its healing properties. Pilgrims receive water from the holy well accompanied by the laying on of hands and anointing. Water is often taken home by the faithful and distributed to their family and friends.

Visit

If staying from mid-January visit the Walsingham Priory for the most spectacular snowdrop walks, with carpets of snowdrops when in full bloom. You can wander around the priory remains, meander through the woods and see swathes of stunning snowdrops.

There is a light railway from Walsingham to Wells which is the longest 10 and a quarter inch narrow gauge railway in the world.

Very quiet and relaxing. Sit in the nice garden, drink your tea of have a bbq. Village and surroundings are rally beautiful. Holkham is a must see. Also Blakeney is very nice.

The Kuilman's, 24th of August 2023

Wonderful place to stay,so convenient for everything. Cottage was clean and modern. Short of wardrobe space in the second and 3rd bedroom but the master bedroom with the walk in rain shower was great. We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings with time to spend with the family.

The Appleyards, 11th of August 2023

Perfect January getaway - fabulous house, perfect for our needs and the city boys loved being in so much nature. We loved Wells-Next-the-Sea and our highlight was the Gunton Arms at Cromer. Huge thanks for the use of your gorgeous home!

Laura, Jon, Max & Freddie, 6th of January 2023

We absolutely loved staying at Bay Tree Cottage and hope to return for a second visit. The cottage was so well equipped, warm, clean, homely and much bigger than we realised from the photos. The location is excellent being set in beautiful grounds on the outskirts of the Village with great access to the beaches and other places to visit also near by. Homely touches such as a welcome hamper, games, books, Alexa, under floor heating in the bathrooms, soft linens and electric fire all added to a truly wonderful break in great accommodation – thank you!

The Wood's, 23rd of December 2022

Beautiful cottage, we had such a wonderful stay. It is in a perfect location and a great base to explore all our favourite spots like Holkham Hall and Wells. Thank you :-)

Robin, Mel, Thomas, William and James, 28th of October 2022

The Finches, 12th of September 2022

Great house and garden. Beautiful place to stay in North Norfolk. We enjoyed the house very much as a family. Loads of room for 6 and all we needed.

jennifer, 19th of August 2022

Bay Tree Cottage has been everything that we wanted from our last minute week away. The cottage is prefect, the best thing is sitting outside, looking over the garden and meadow with a glass of wine in the evening! Walsingham is such a lovely friendly village and only a short walk away, which was perfect too! Thank you very much for allowing us to stay here! We will be back.

The Tibbenhams, 24th of June 2022

Our stay was sadly short but very sweet. Everything we could have wanted was here together with other thoughtful touches. Hopefully back one day.

The Talboys, 1st of June 2022

Catherine, Shaniq, Lily & Adam, 11th of February 2022

What a peaceful place to stay. It is a beautiful and comfortable and cosy cottage. The kitchen is delightful and so well equipped. We have had a wonderful week exploring the North Norfolk Coast. Wow! Walsingham itself is a wonderful little village steeped in history and has lots to see, do and learn. Thank you, we will certainly recommend and return.

Sean, Clare and Family , 1st of February 2022

Lovely Cottage - peaceful and well equipped. Really enjoyed our week in Walsingham and good weather for most of it. Thanks very much!

Denise, Alan and Laurence, 11th of June 2021

We had the most amazing week with the most beautiful weather. It was our first time in Norfolk but definitely wont be our last! We have had some lovely days at the beach, staying in beach huts and exploring North Norfolk. Coming back to your lovely home was the icing on the cake!

Jolene and Martin and Hilary and John, 4th of June 2021

What a find !!!! We felt at home the minute we walked into the cottage. We had some stunning weather whilst there and the cottage was just the loveliest, most peaceful place to come back to on an evening. Sitting in the garden with the sun going down, listening to the church bells playing in the distance was just bliss. The house had everything you needed and was in the most beautiful setting. We will definitely be returning. Thank you

Martin, 4th of June 2021

A lovely stay in a beautiful peaceful place, A week of walks, sandwiches and ice cream on the beach and a snug house as 'home' for the week. Farm shop and barn cafe both excellent! - Thank you

Diana and Mo, 14th of May 2021

A peaceful and comfortable house in a great location. The house was spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable. It’s set back from a quiet road just outside the village of Walsingham, with nothing but the sounds of owls and foxes overnight. About 5-10 minutes walk from cafes and shops in the village, and the excellent farm shop which sells everything - fruit and veg, cheese, meat and ready cooked meals and pies. Up the road there’s a cafe at Walsingham Barns. We had a great week and highly recommend.

Dianna, 14th of May 2021

Bay Tree Cottage had comfortable beds and sofas. Fantastic bathroom. Homely touches, nice crockery - better than the usual holiday let standard. Quiet location. Efficient heating and hot water. Beautiful property, felt like 'home from home' and a cut above the usual holiday lets that we've stayed in before. The house felt 'loved' and the location was perfect. Easy walk to local pub and bistro and shops. Easy access to the stunning beaches and local attractions.

The Macfarlane's, 2nd of October 2020

At Bay Tree Cottage we like the Peaceful location & beautifully furnishings & it is close to Holkham. We loved this cottage & will definitely return!

McBeath Family, 28th of August 2020

Walsingham is really such a magical, special place and one we will hold very dear to our hearts. We hope to be back next year thank you, thank you, thank you. A beautiful home away from home!

The Dunn Family, 24th of July 2020

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.
