Village
An attractive Norfolk farming village which is defined by the large pretty duck pond in the heart of the village. Many of the properties in Stanhoe are constructed from traditional brick and flint with curvy pantiles on the roof, making for many pretty chocolate box homes.
There is a great award-winning gastropub in Stanhoe called The Duck Inn known for its use of local produce and delicious East Anglian Ales. A warm inviting feel greets you in this village eatery and a great menu, making it a good destination either for a nice evening meal or a relaxing drink - make sure you book ahead!
History
The village has been a farming village since the Romans, it was the Saxons that gave the village its name Stanhoe (Stony Hill).
In the 19th Century the parish priest was Philip Ward the husband of Lord Nelsons daughter Horatia.
Visit
Stanhoe is close to the popular Georgian village destination of Burnham Market, known for the great selection of independent shops that surround the picturesque village green. There's a butcher, baker, hardware store, popular fishmonger and also lovely cafes and many eateries,as well as boutiques and galleries to peruse. Just a short drive away is the vast Norfolk coastline with the sailing villages of Brancaster Staithe and Burnham Overy Staithe, open sandy beaches at Brancaster and Holme, with splendid coastal walks, ideal for all the family and your four-legged friend too!

A beautiful cottage, ideally situated for visiting the villages and beaches of the North Norfolk coast. The comfort and attention to detail of our cottage. Lots of light, excellent furnishings and lovely gardens.
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at Eider Cottage. The cottage has everything you could need and has been fitted and furnished with every comfort in mind. We loved the spacious, well equipped kitchen and dining area, the comfortable bedrooms and the restful lounge and library - so many books! The boot room/utility areas was perfect for our dogs. The rear garden was just right for catching the afternoon sun and was completely safe for our dogs to run around. The cottage is so well situated - one evening we ate at the Duck Inn which is just 50 yards walk away - and we were able to get into Burnham Market and to the beaches within 10 minutes drive. A perfect spot for a Norfolk weekend break. The highlight of our stay was enjoying the quality of the house and its facilities. The owners have been incredibly thoughtful in terms of providing everything needed for a perfect stay. We enjoyed lovely walks on the beach at Brancaster and across the marshes at Burnham Overy Staithe and excellent meals at the Duck and at 29 in Burnham Market.
Very comfortable cottage with a lovely garden. A home from home. Very good facilities - kitchen and bathrooms. Very spacious with the extra reception room to the living room. Lovely gardens to the front and back.
Fabulous cottage. We really enjoyed our stay at this well equipped cottage.
We only booked downstairs which was beautifully furnished and equipped. We were thinking of booking again with the rest of the family but the stairs are very steep and only suitable for younger guests. We were impressed with the overall quality of the cottage. Very very clean - thank you.
Ideally positioned for the coast and days out in North Norfolk.
Beautiful, comfortable cottage. Very well situated near all our favourite places in Norfolk. Really loved it here, will definitely book again! Everything was of a very high standard. Yes we would book again, loved it, best yet!
