The village boasts a picturesque fishing harbour with sailing club with sailing school, two lovely pubs, The White Horse with outside dining that looks over the Staithe and has a great seasonal menu. The Jolly sailors which boasts a national family pub award, they have an outside eating area, play area and serve delicious pizza as well as putting on music events as well as an Ale festival. Near the harbour is the National Trust Activity Centre, just off the coastline is the Scolt Head Island National Nature reserve as off shore 4 mile long sand bar that extends from Brancaster to Wells-next-the-Sea. You can take a boat trip with Branta Cruises to visit the island, also great for bird watching so take your binoculars. Be sure to pop to The Fish Shed for some lovely sea food and the famous Brancaster Mussels.
On the Door Step
Burnham Deepdale merges with Brancaster Staithe and has the Dalgate Market shops, cafe, great for breakfast, tourist information and bike hire. Annual Spring Market, 1940’s weekend and The charming Christmas Market are some of the events you can visit at Dalgate market
With the Norfolk coastline being one of the most diverse in the country many of the beaches have something different to offer. The Coastal Path makes for beautiful scenic walks to take in the sea air. There is some great wildlife form the many Nature reserves, Titchwell, The Lookout in Holkham Nature Reserve and Cley Marshes Visitors Centre to name a few. Some more unusual animal encounters might be the Llamas in Wells or the beautiful seal trips from Blakeney or Morston.

A lovely, well equipped and comfortable cottage located in a great spot close to pubs, coastal path and beaches.
We were staying with our dog and really enjoyed the dog friendly beaches, pubs and shops nearby.
We really enjoyed our stay, thank you.
A well equipped, lovely cottage close to amenities and beaches.We enjoyed Holkham, Wells beach and Thornham beach for walks. White Horse and Gin Trap for meals out plus the Nest Cafe and Thorham Deli for breakfast.
This cottage has a lovely garden. The downstairs is pleasant although anyone over 5ft 10 may fine the ceilings too low. The staircase takes some tackling! The kitchen is well-equipped and the dining area light and airy. There are two comfortable sofas. We enjoyed sitting in the garden with a morning cup of tea or an evening glass of wine.
Going on a seal trip from Morston Quay, visiting Holkham, lunch in The Hero in Burnham-Overy-Staithe, lunch in the George and Dragon in Cley. and shopping in Wells.
Our fifth stay here, lovely open and spacious comfortable cottage enjoying the benefits of a truly sunny and delightful enclosed private garden..with a superb olive tree, probably one of largest in the UK , and a west facing decked terrace too , for evening sunshine and sunsets. Set on the coast road just yards from local shops and garage. Views over the adjacent marshes towards Brancaster Beach and Scolts Head Island. Private off street parking. Sadly sunshine was in very short supply this year, so the full benefits of this cottage weren't utilised much. Had to have heating on too in June! Most unusual.The cottage itself is a favourite of ours, ticking so many boxes, it feels very familiar now and love the location, bang in the middle of the wonderful north west Norfolk coastline.
This is our 6th stay in Oak Cottage. It's a good place for exploring, both the immediate location and just a short drive from all our favourite places. It's well equipped, very comfortable beds and a lovely garden. We like an evening walk round the harbour and along the coast path to the White Horse sitting with a drink on the balcony with a glass of wine overlooking the marshes
Enjoyable stay in well positioned cottage. Cottage ideally positioned for pub visit and parking very useful.
Lovely as always. We have been to Oak Cottage on numerous occasions and will back again later in the year! Location and walks with amazing bird life along the coastal path. We saw 6 avocets!
Spacious cottage.Large kitchen and dining area.Living room is comfortable with log burner.Two large bedrooms ( one very large) and well equipped bathroom.Garden is enclosed with seating and small lawn.Dog friendly.There was everything we needed for a perfect stay. Location and condition of the cottage are hard to beat.
We love the location and cosy cottage. We have stayed at Oak Cottage on many occasions and returning for another week in January 2024!
Great cottage with a great space that works very well and well equipped. Everything you need for your stay. Great location to amenities and coastal paths.
We've returned to Oak Cottage many times. We really like it's location and layout. Its decor is simple and uncluttered which we prefer.
The fully enclosed garden is great for dogs and eating out in, during the summer. The log burner makes it very cosy in the winter. Everything that you need is close by in terms of eating out and shopping.
We'll be back soon.
As always a lovely stay at Oak Cottage - the hollyhocks looked absolutely amazing! Turning into the drive with the view of the sea framed by all those amazing hollyhocks!
This was the second time we have stayed at Oak Cottage and we were as pleased with it as the first time. Comfortable, clean, well appointed. Highlights the walks along the north coast, as always.
I’m a regular visitor to Oak Cottage and hadn’t been able to come last year because of how popular it was. I loved being back, and was reminded of how great the layout is. I loved the extra touch this time of the dog blanket.

Oak Cottage is a delightful holiday let.
Delighted the fire had been laid ready and plenty of logs, even though we did bring some the owners had kindly put in a real Christmas tree with lights and decorations.
We loved the enclosed garden at the back perfect and safe for fur kids/doggies.
