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!

Guest reviews

We had a really love stay at Eider Cottage for the new year. The cottage was the perfect size for our family, very comfortable and well equipped. The location was great for exploring North Norfolk and we had a lovely meal at the pub close by. : Really well equipped cottage and lovely and clean.

the hun's, 8th of January 2024

We had specific requirements for our 4 less mobile parents and family of 4 so Eider Cottage was perfect with 2 ground floor en-suite rooms and 2 bedrooms with en-suites for us and our 2 children.The cottage is in a fantastic part of Norfolk, well maintained and the facilities and equipment were 1st class. The personnel touches from the books, pictures and furniture really made this feel like home for our week.The beds were all really comfortable and the enclosed garden and large utility room worked brilliantly for our Lab Merlin.We loved the really comfortable seating, we have stayed in places where the settees and chairs are of a lesser quality or too low to really feel comfortable in the evenings almost spoiling the social time with family. This was not the case here.Loved the separate library and sitting area for those with different ideas on what to watch on the TV… and games and books galore. Kitchen and dinning area was well laid out and created a great socialising area. Only thing to really note is the 2 narrow cottage stairs make it slightly awkward to get cases to the bedrooms, so small bags are recommended buy us. And the walk across the front lawn when unpacking if the weather is poor (thanks to Storm Babet!!) can be a bit difficult if you have large bags. Washing facilities in the utility were appreciated, due teh extreme rain on our week a drier would have been a nice touch. For the location I could not believe how good the Wifi was. A real bonus for us with two children. Just a short walk to the village playing field were a real bonus for our early dog walk before heading out.

A well appointed cottage with a lovely ambiance to it. Ideal location to allow us to explore the North Norfolk coast and villages.
