Village
The attractive village of South Creake (twinned with North Creake) has a lovely village green at its heart with the river Burn that runs through. When visiting the village, you will see the much-loved resident ducks crossing the road from the houses for a swim on the river. There is a lovely leafy recreation ground, park and village hall making it the hub of the village. You will often see local produce such as cakes and homegrown vegetables for sale from the small way-side stalls in the village and there is a thriving plant nursery and cafe. There is a welcoming community spirt in the village, making it a perfect place to unwind and take in the Norfolk air.
The Ostrich Inn, dating from the 1800s, has been refurbished to a high standard and now serves delicious locally sourced food in attractive surroundings.
History
On the hill above the village can be found the remnants of Bloodgate Hill fort, an Iron Age fortification that is the largest hill fort in Norfolk. It probably dates back around 300 years before the Romans. Roman coins and pottery have been found in the surrounding farmlands of the village.
Visit
Well worth a visit is Creake Abbey just outside of the village of North Creake with a lovely speciality shops. There is also an award-winning farmers' market on the last Saturday of each month. Close to Fakenham is the Pensthorpe Nature Reserve making for a lovely day out with walks around the lakes, gardens and also great fun for all the family with splendid children’s indoor and outdoor play areas. With the vast sandy beaches of the North Norfolk Coast just a short journey away at Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham, this village is a great base from which to explore North Norfolk.

Spacious, well equipped quirky cottage. New patio? Fab! Lovely stay.

We've stayed here before - lovely little cottage! It was well equipped. We like that it has 2 bathrooms - very convenient for 6 adults.
Western Cottage feels warm and comfortable and is well-appointed. 10 out of 10 for Cleanliness We have used this cottage often and it suits us well as a base from which to go birdwatching and taking photographs. It is comfortable and has all mod cons. Yes we would stay again!
Better than Expected - Clearly the owner uses as a home therefore felt cared for. We liked the space inside, new bathrooms, and garden to enjoy. Sowerby's bag of goodies appreciated. We would stay again!
Western Cottage was very spacious and the extra bathroom a real bonus. Loved having an area to walk our dog so close. Extremely comfortable beds, lovely cotton sheets and nice towels. Extremely well equipped kitchen. A really lovely year round holiday cottage - I imagine it's equally lovely in Autumn and Winter
Lovely cottage. We’ve had a great week. Many thanks.
We had a wonderful time in this gorgeous cottage. Thank you so very much.
10 out of 10 for cleanliness and the garden
As soon as we walked through the door I loved the way it felt. Everything about it conveyed a sense of welcome, I liked it’s cleanliness and comfort. On the cold, wet day it was cosy and warm and on the sunnier, warmer days it was lovely to sit in the beautiful courtyard garden.
Thank you again to Nikki and Mandy at Sowerby’s and the cottage owner for coming to the rescue so we could enjoy a much longed for break. Western Cottage is absolutely gorgeous.

Lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful area.
Lovely house - pity about the weather!
Lovely well equipped cottage. Parking a bit tricky so we offered the farmer opposite a bottle of wine and then ok! Loved the area - the peace and quiet, especially the beach at Holkham. Will be back!

All Sowerbys holiday cottages are supplied with bed linen and towels and the cost of heating is included in the rental price.
Electric Vehicle charging
Cars may only be charged if there is an EV charging point fitted at the property. The cost of electricity is NOT included in the rental price and Sowerbys Holiday Cottages must be notified if the charger is used and an additional surcharge will be made. Due to insurance purposes, guests must never charge their car using a standard outdoor plug or an extension cable linking to a domestic plug.
