Village and Harbour
Brancaster Staithe is the coastal village nestled between Brancaster and Burnham Deepdale which flow into one almost continuous settlement. 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.

What a stunning place Sunnydene is! Such a sweet, comfortable house and just the most incredible views and garden. We had a wonderful stay and really cherished getting to enjoy those beautiful marshside views. A truly wonderful property in our favourite location and ideal for coastal path walks and wandering around the staithe. Those views! Just incredible and such a treat. The garden is gorgeous and so great to have the top bit enclosed for dogs. The outdoor seating area is gorgeous and I can imagine lovely when the sun shines. Even on a cold and wet February morning, it was lovely to sit there and enjoy the view. House has all you need and was very comfortable. The views from the upstairs hallway so stunning and a lovely big bathroom too.
This was our first stay at Sunnydene but our 6th in Brancaster Staithe. Our usual cottage was unavailable but Sunnydene was even nicer! The location is perfect for walks, beaches, lunches, coffees, dinners, shopping A highlight this time was the sea shanty evening at The Jolly Sailor. All local restaurants and pubs are great. The house…beautifully clean and well equipped. Heaps of space ( both kids were revising at one stage at the dining table)and was great to not have bunk beds in the 3rd bedroom. The garden is wonderful and we even enjoyed a lunch al fresco (February!) We look forward to enjoying Sunnydene again. The weather was great for February Garden was wonderful Lots of space for 5 and a dog Warm, clean, comfortable house. Views from the house and garden were stunning. We loved the house and didn’t want to leave.
Great property and a fantastic location. The first week of February can be chilly but this property was set up to cope with the elements. Everything about it was first class. We will be back to enjoy the summer months very soon. The garden access to the coastal path which was ideal for our Black Lab. plus the Jolly Sailor never disappoints.
We had a fantastic stay over Christmas and loved the house and location. The house had all that we needed and was even decorated for Christmas which was a lovely touch. It was perfect for walks with the dog onto the coastal path, but we did need to watch out for both the deer and rabbits in the garden ! The local pubs were both great for eating out and the shop and Fish Shack in the village had everything we needed during our stay. We would definitely stay at the property again.
We enjoyed our visit very much. The house was just right for us and we will bear it in mind when booking for the family. The views were magnificent and the location perfect.
Perfect holiday cottage - very cosy and warm cottage close to the best of North Norfolk - Brancaster beach, Holkham, the Jolly Sailors etc. The welcome goodies were really appreciated after our drive to Norfolk.
Great place to stay positioned a short walk to two nice pubs plus a short walk to deepdale cafe for a great breakfast and shops House is lovely with everything you need nice comfy beds .The seating area towards the bottom of the garden is a lovely place to sit and view the marshes. The garden has lots of rabbits and a deer which is lovely for children not so good if you have dogs.
