Egmere Cottage Egmere
Sleeps 6, from £465 to £905 per week
Egmere Cottage was a traditional Norfolk farm cottage and previously owned by the Holkham estate. The current owners have extended and completely renovated the cottage with great care and attention to detail, resulting in a beautifully presented contemporary holiday cottage. Downstairs there's a lovely sitting room with wood-burning stove, an extremely well-equipped fitted kitchen with a conservatory providing a light and spacious dining area, overlooking the private garden. Upstairs are 2 comfortable double bedrooms (one with an en-suite bathroom) and a cleverly designed children's room. Outside there is a decked area with garden furniture and a barbecue, which catches the sun throughout the day, as well as a large enclosed grassy garden. It is located in a rural hamlet, just over a mile from the renowned Walsingham Farm Shop and the Norfolk Riddle restaurant. The coastal seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea is only 5 minutes drive away, with Holkham 10 minutes away and Burnham Market within 15 minutes.

Guest Reviews
We liked the level of prettiness, neatness and thoughtfulness as most of Sowerbys cottages that I've stayed in 10 out of 10 for the cleanliness and garden Even though it's November I liked the garden and conservatory and proximity to the fields. The pillows were squeaky and the duvet too, maybe old feathers! We would stay again

Thank you for a great stay in your lovely cottage. It is such a lovely house in a great location. We loved using your games for a games night and the garden for an Easter Egg Hunt!

This has been our second stay here at Egmere and we've enjoyed it just as much as the first. Despite the weather, there has been a lovely relaxing atmosphere and it's given us the long week of rest and recuperation we all needed! Thank you so much Egmere Cottage!!

Really lovely, well equipped cottage, thank you to the cleaner - it was spotless! I would love to say it was a home from home but I can't - this is much nicer than my home! I'm going home to redecorate and build a conservatory!!

You have created a most welcoming and comfortable cottage and we are grateful as it has made our time here so very enjoyable. We are all looking forward to our next visit as still so much to see and do and we hope we can stay with you again. Your cottage and your approach is a credit to you both.

A true gem! We have stayed in many, many cottages (especially this area) but you have succeeded in offering the very best! Thank you. We have all appreciated the little extras, the comfort and love you have lavished on Egmere Cottage. We have already booked our return!

A beautiful cottage, wish we could have stayed for a week but had a wonderful few days and will be back for a week next year. Well equipped, great location and well finished. This is by far the best cottage we've ever stayed in, many thanks.

Egmere
Location
Egmere is a rural hamlet approximately 4 miles from Wells-next-the-Sea, which is a delightful unspoilt historic town on the North Norfolk Coast with a jumble of old buildings and lanes still existing from its heritage as a port and former maltings industry. The picturesque quay and waterfront is still very much a working port with fishing boats still berthed in this small harbour and stalls selling locally caught shrimps, crabs and whelks. A popular place with sailors with many sailing and leisure craft here and local sailing tuition available. Children enjoy the facilities round the quay and the challenge of crabbing (gillying) from the steep harbour wall.
The main shopping area of Wells is Staithe Street, a narrow, mostly pedestrianised lane with surviving Victorian and Edwardian shop fronts, that runs from the water�s edge right up to the top part of town. In the centre of the town is The Buttlands which is a large rectangular green lined with Georgian and late Victorian houses, which used to be used for archery practise in medieval days. Now it is home to the excellent Crown hotel and restaurant which is run by Kiwi celebrity chef Chris Coubrough, as well as The Globe Inn owned by the Holkham estate.
The sandy beach flanked by pine forest is about a mile from the quay and can be reached by road, on foot along the causeway or via the miniature railway.
Holkham Hall with its impressive 18th century Palladian architecture and 3,000 acre deer park is only a couple of miles away along the coast road.If you would like to see more of our holiday homes in and around the Norfolk coastal town of Egmere, please click here.
