Village
Possibly one of the prettiest villages in North Norfolk, this Georgian village is within easy access to the North Norfolk Coast, still with a quaint feel, with many trendy shops. The village retains a ‘step back in time’ feel with leafy green trees and picturesque village green. Burnham Market has a traditional post office, book shop and hardware shop as well as beautiful boutiques and lifestyle shops, from the butchers and baker to fine dining and deli’s. There’s a superb fishmonger Gurneys with locally caught seafood including Brancaster mussels and Cromer crab - be sure to try the amazing fresh fishcakes. It’s a lovely village to visit to peruse the shops or even for a bite to eat in one of the restaurants. There are a lot of eateries to choose from… The Hoste for fine dining or afternoon tea, No Twenty9, The Nelson, award-winning Socius, Burnham Tearoom, or Tilly’s Cafe, there’s something to suit every taste. There is also a children’s play park, hard tennis courts and two parish churches one at each end of the village. If in need of a little pampering why not book a treatment or two at The Hoste Beauty Spa.There is also a dog groomer so you can have the best pampered pooch in the village.
Visit
With a scenic ride to the coast, you can enjoy lazy days on the beaches of Brancaster or Wells. Alternatively pull on your walking boots and investigate diverse coastal path walks, taking in all the birds and wildlife. Leave the car behind and pop on the Coastal Hopper bus and do a tour from Wells and The Burnhams to Norfolk's west coast. Don't forget to visit Holkham which not only has a superb beach, but majestic Holkham Hall which is well worth a visit: hire a boat on the lake, hop on a bike to explore the woodlands, test your bravery on the rope course, play in the woodland play park, take in the breathtaking rooms and art in the main house or simply enjoy tea and cake in the courtyard cafe. If big houses are your thing there are many others to visit with Houghton Hall and its fantastic sculpture collection, the house and grounds of Royal Sandringham to name a few! Get on the water, there are many activities from kite and windsurfing in Hunstanton, sailing in Brancaster Staithe, seal and boat trips from Brancaster and Wells, or take a beautiful trip on The Coastal Exploration Company and learn about the wildlife, trading and smuggling in the salt marshes or along the coast.

We had a wonderful stay at Mallards for our Christmas holiday. The house is beautiful and the owners decorated it for Christmas which made it extra special. It is also in the perfect location. We would definitely stay at Mallards again in the future. Thank you to the owners and to Sowerbys for providing such a great service.
Well equipped kitchen, very convenient for the village centre, lovely enclosed garden which will be a sun trap in the summer. Excellent water pressure in the showers, comfortable beds and lovely wallpaper everywhere. A lovely home enjoyed by all. Meals out at no 29, The Hoste and Socius , visits to Brancaster, Thornham and Holkham beach. Looking around the lovely shops in Burnham Market.
Fantastic house in a perfect location. The space in the house and the courtyard garden were real highlights. We were very happy with our stay.
Great place to stay in Burnham Market. Its central for everything in the town. Plus Blakeney, Cley, Well-next-the sea and Brancaster all within a short drive. The property is very comfortable and all 6 of us enjoyed our stay very much. This is the fourth time we have stayed at Mallards and will no doubt be back next year. We enjoyed long beach walks, Pub lunches and just enjoying the peace and tranquillity.
A spacious house ideal for family holidays in a great location. To be able to spend time with family in a well thought out property which catered for all including the children & dogs in a safe enclosed courtyard garden.

The location and spaciousness at Mallards we really like. I want to sincerely thank all the Sowerbys staff involved with this booking.
