Floorplan

Village

Burnham Overy Town is an attractive unspoilt small hamlet, situated next to its sister village Burnham Overy Staithe, only a mile from the largest of The Burnham’s, Burnham Market. The main feature of the village is not just the great location on the stunning North Norfolk Coast, but also the lovely St Clement's Church with its unusual central tower, one of only 14 mediaeval churches in the country with this layout. The church sits proudly on the hill overlooking the river Burn.

History

The original village of all the seven sisters known as The Burnhams. The village name means 'over the water', meaning it was across the river from the other Burnhams. The church was begun in the Norman period and was granted to the canons of Walsingham Priory in the early 12th century. Burnham Overy was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.

Visit

The nearby larger village of Burnham Market is the stylish go to destination with many small independent and boutique shops from lifestyle and clothing to traditional butcher and bakers to delis and galleries. There are also some great eateries and bars to cater for all tastes.

For family fun the beaches of Brancaster and Wells are superb. The North Norfolk Coast has a lot of wildlife and nature reserves including Cley, Holme, Titchwell and Snetttisham. The grand estates of Holkham, Houghton and Sandringham make wonderful days out for all to enjoy. The Norfolk Coast and country has many local farm shops and farmers markets. Creake Abbey in North Creake is just 3 miles from Burnham Market and has a range of homemade produce, meats and vegetables in two barns along with a farmers market held on the first Saturday of each month. There are nearby farm shops in Thornham, Walsingham, Wiveton and Heacham.

Guest reviews

Stayed for New Year. Lovely spacious house for a family get together. Plenty of relaxing seating areas and large kitchen with everything you need. The kitchen, dining and 2 lounge areas was amazing. Large enclosed garden and smaller enclosed garden suitable for dogs. Would love to stay in spring/summer..

The Rolly's, 8th of January 2024

A lovely property with a wonderful social space.

The Cornfords, 28th of April 2023

Wow what a fabulous cottage. The cottage is homely but modern, comfortable and sociable. The kitchen is well equipped, beds comfortable and lovely and clean. There are lots of walks directly from the cottage.
The views from the big window opposite the kitchen are fabulous. We saw red deer, kites, barn owls, buzzards and lots of hares - great place to relax and just gaze. We loved the conservatory too. We will definitely be back and hopefully for a week next time.

The Hammond-Messenger's, 15th of March 2023

We booked Lavender House for 4 nights, as a big family holiday with our daughter, son-in-law & 3 teenage granddaughters. We loved the house, living area was huge! We saw a beautiful stoat one morning just outside the huge window with seat. We watched it for some minutes! The location otherwise was fab, so quiet. The Games room in the garage was good fun too.

The Downs Family, 24th of October 2022

All Sowerbys holiday cottages are supplied with bed linen and towels and the cost of heating is included in the rental price.

Electric Vehicle charging

Cars may only be charged if there is an EV charging point fitted at the property. The cost of electricity is NOT included in the rental price and Sowerbys Holiday Cottages must be notified if the charger is used and an additional surcharge will be made. Due to insurance purposes, guests must never charge their car using a standard outdoor plug or an extension cable linking to a domestic plug. This is not permitted because of fire regulations regarding wiring, earthing rods and voltage restrictions; it poses a serious fire risk to standard 13 amp sockets and there is a real danger that the body of the vehicle could become live.
