History
The village of Old Hunstanton was named in the Domesday book at ‘Hunestanestada’, it later became part of the Le Strange family estates. The parish church of St Mary is situated in the grounds of Hunstanton Hall (Grade 1 listed) home to the Le Strange family for centuries.

Just a short drive away is the royal residence of Sandringham Estate. Further along the North Norfolk Coastal Path the pretty villages of Thornham and Brancaster can be found, with many nature reserves along the way including RSPB Titchwell.

Very clean and comfortable. Lovely decor and welcome treats much appreciated. Location is ideal for seeing the sea and sand dunes.
Our 4th year here which says it all. A super cottage and we have had many happy times here. We are very impressed with the efficiency and kindness of the house keeper. We love the proximity to the beach and of course the beach hut which is equipped with everything that you could need for a day at the beach.
We loved the cottage. Just perfect location so close to the beach. Had everything you needed. And the beach hut was amazing.
Very clean, comfortable cottage within easy walking distance to beach. Everything we needed was provided and there was a lovely welcome pack waiting for us when we arrived. The beach hut was an added bonus. The beach at Old Hunstanton is one of the best. We always visit The Lodge when we stay in Old Hunstanton. The food is amazing and it is very dog friendly.
I used the cottage to walk the Norfolk coastal path from Kings Lynn to Hopton on Sea in aid of the RNLI and Marine Conservation Society. It had everything I needed and was near to the Coasthopper bus stop! Sunsets over the sea just 5 minutes from the cottage Walking over the saltmarshes and hearing nothing but birdsong Seeing 50+seals at Horsey Gap Talking to RNLI volunteers when I dropped off a knitted lifeboatperson into all of the stations I passed Seeing deer, hares, numerous birds of prey, wildflowers and spectacular scenery. Raising money for two amazing charities. Gail was very helpful and friendly.
