Village
A small village hamlet which is one of seven Burnham villages named after the river Burn. This pretty little village is a walkers' paradise, placed on the edge of Norton Marsh which has a plethora of birds and wildlife making it an ideal quiet spot for bird watchers and those looking for a retreat. There are no shops, but there is a pretty round tower church and a little car park in Burnham Norton. Go on a superb 40 minute walk through the fields and marshes to the deserted Norton Beach. During low tide the keen adventurers amongst you may wish to make your way across the waters to Scolt Head Island. The village is on many great little walking routes through The Burnhams, Wells, and Brancaster Coastal Path Walks. You can even leave the car and pop onto the Coastal Hopper bus that passes through the village.
Visit
The nearby larger village of Burnham Market is the stylish go to destination with a great selection of independent shops and boutiques ranging from lifestyle and clothing, as well as traditional butcher, hardware store 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. Nearby the village of Docking holds a farmers market on a Wednesday morning, supporting local food producers in the Village Hall. On the 4th Sunday of each month you can pick up supplies from the royal residence of Sandringham Hall as well as many local homemade produce and crafts at the Sandringham Visitors Centre. There are also farm shops in Thornham, Walsingham, Wiveton and Heacham.

Lovely to stay in a house with character! Far too big just for two, of course but we wanted to stay somewhere really close to the peace of Norton Marshes. Marshgate fitted the bill perfectly and was very comfortable with lashings of instant hot water and a blissful bed! Especially liked the 'easy to use' appliances. Ideal for elderly technophobes! We would thoroughly recommend this house to anyone wishing to totally relax without the constant worry of damaging the modern fashion for a boutique style of interior design! We only live about 45 minutes away but love to stay on the coast overnight to enjoy early mornings and late evenings which are always the best time of day. Every day brought a highlight from collecting our 'must have' Brownies still warm from the oven at Stiffkey Stores to walking our favourite Salthouse Round. Seeing nine Spoonbills together at Cley and a flock of Bearded Tits in the reeds just a few steps from the house. We especially enjoyed a walk from the beach at Titchwell along to Thornham harbour just as the tide was low. Virgin sands and absolutely deserted. Beautiful! Sprinkle in the delights of Holkham and Burnham Overy out to Gun Hill and we were very happy. Best of all were the strolls just before dusk from the house out to the marsh to absorb the atmosphere of Norfolk's stunning skies and watch and listen to the geese flying in.
: A wonderful cottage in a beautiful setting.
Fantastic area as always, we come primarily for the birdwatching and Norfolk never disappoints. Very quirky cottage, really enjoyed our stay.
Spacious quiet cottage very close to the marshes. No passing traffic the only noises were the flying geese and the evening owls hooting - perfect! Very close to marsh/costal path for walking. Saw kingfishers most morning, Wood generously supplied for log burner and the bed was comfortable
A very pleasant stay. Everything we needed. Clean and tidy. Weather was better than anticipated. Lots of walks along the marsh path. Listening to the different bird songs and views.
A quirky rustic holiday home in a beautiful part of the country. Plenty of space and everything that is needed to enjoy a relaxing holiday. Just a short walk down onto the marsh, a beguiling and beautiful area to explore. We enjoyed exploring the coast and watching the birds.
At Marshgate we liked its spaciousness and location. We would stay here again
Marshgate had comfortable chairs and beds which was the things we liked along with plenty hot water and the peace and quiet. Despite weather we enjoyed the space inside and out of the property.
The property was as we had expected, The location on the property was lovely, and we would stay at the property again.
It felt comfortable, especially with having young children there. We didn’t feel we were having to tell them not to touch things constantly. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of warm bedding in all the bedrooms. It’s was great to arrive to a few lights being left on inside, as well as the delicious cakes left on the kitchen table and flowers in the sitting room. Nice little touches. Also, having a enclosed garden was an added bonus for our dog. We had a very enjoyable stay at Marshgate. It’s a charming property with lots of character features. It’s also in a great location. We would stay there again.
Room layout in Marshgate gives separation and lots of privacy, especially in the bedrooms. The walk to the marshes is VERY short and the setting is amazing. We like the most about the property- Charming and rustic, unpretentious and spacious. Privacy between the bedrooms. Location near the marshes. Wonderful gardens. 10 out 0f 10 for cleanliness.
Better than Expected. Due to limited information on website at the time (eg lack of photos of kitchen) meant we didn't raise our expectations beforehand. 10 out of 10 for cleanliness We loved the character, comfort, superb location, space, easy and ample parking Difficult to comment on garden at this time of year. Wood burning stove with ample fuel was greatly appreciated.
Better than Expected There was no photo of the kitchen in the brochure, and so was pleasantly surprised at how large the kitchen was. 9 out of 10 for cleanliness and the garden Lived in comfortable atmosphere,quiet location. The dogs loved the 2 gardens.Made for a relaxing break. Just really enjoyed our stay and so did the dogs, weather brilliant, lovely, peaceful and relaxing.
10 out of 10 for cleanliness 10 out of 10 for the garden It had an honest charm to it...the owners have not tried to ‘over-style’ or make it too modern for its age.
