Another enjoyable and relaxing week at Sail Away. Looking forward to our stay there again next year. We like most the views from the lounge and rooftop

I tried to anticipate the location having visited the area before, but the position of the property surpassed my expectation.
It was a dream of a holiday, perfect property.
The view directly on to the creak and the reed beds gave us hours of contemplation and source for drawing and painting.
The kitchen was vast and well equipped and the log burner enabled us to luxuriate.
Thank you for the welcome gift.

Brancaster Staithe
Location
A bustling village with an attractive harbour which is just to the east of Brancaster (staithe means wharf, or landing stage). There is a well-supported sailing club here and in the summer at high tide there is always a crowd of people and boats jostling to get onto the water. The sea still gives a living to many in the area though and Brancaster Staithe is famed for its mussels, which may be bought locally at The Fish Shed along the coast road.
Just off the coast of Brancaster Staithe, Scolt Head Island is a four mile long sand bar housing a National Nature Reserve well-known for terns, oystercatchers, and ringed plovers. You can take a boat trip with Branta Cruises to visit the island.
The village is a picturesque one, with typical flint walling on many cottages, and popular with second home owners and holiday makers. There is good beer and food available throughout the day at the Jolly Sailor's pub, or for more of a treat with stunning views and delicious food there is The White Horse overlooking the marshes which has just been voted the county's eatery for 2018 in the National Pub and Bar awards.
Next to Brancaster Staithe is Burnham Deepdale which has a Norman church, a visitors centre and a good selection of shops, including a small supermarket, Fat Face and Gone Crabbing. After a brisk walk on the beach or an invigorating sail there's nothing better than a trip to the ever popular Deepdale Café, renowned for its hearty English breakfasts.
