Perfect location and had everything we needed. We appreciated having some essential groceries provided and the house was really comfortable. Small issue on checking in was quickly resolved
This is a lovely, clean and well equipped cottage in a fabulous location in Brancaster. We had a wonderful week and Curlew was a perfect base to explore the North Norfolk coast from. We will be back! The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Such a lovely little garden to sit out in with a glass of wine after a busy day at the beach too :-) It really was perfect for our family.
Great location to Brancaster Beach, the Coastliner Bus route and the Ship PH. Good and accessible parking, always a bonus. Nice and spacious cottage, with very good and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Great little garden, which is a sun trap, and as the week we were there was drier and sunnier than previous Augusts, the garden was well used: The easy access to the wonderful Brancaster beach, and we didn’t need to use the car as often in the past, the weather was good though. Outside dining for a change. Great bedrooms and bathrooms, and a great sun trap garden too. Good off road parking.
Very nice cottage, great location for exploring the coast

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.
Lovely cottage. Thoughtfully equipped .
Excellent cottage, tastefully decorated for Christmas.
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.
Absolutely superb holiday and we hopefully return in the future, parking definitely a bonus.
A great property for two couples with two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Very spacious with a large kitchen/dining area opening up onto the garden. Great location for pub beach and shop. Fantastic stay in this lovely property.

At Curlew Cottage we liked the bedroom and bathroom layout, access to the beach. A very well equipped comfortable cottage. Like the off road parking and garage.
