1 Bed Lodge in Burnham Overy Town

About this property

This idyllic romantic bolthole enjoys a peaceful location, just outside the pretty village of Burnham Overy Staithe. The shepherd’s hut sits within the Norfolk Coast National Landscape with sandy beaches and remote coast paths. You’ll be within easy reach of some of Norfolk’s finest beaches, such as Brancaster (6 miles) and Wells-next-the-Sea (4.5 miles), and the much-loved historic house and gardens of Holkham Hall are just 2 miles away.

The shepherd’s hut is set amongst the trees of a delightful, family-owned fruit orchard. Climb the wooden steps and, once inside, discover a welcoming retreat bursting with rustic charm and homely touches. The property has a studio-style layout and features beautiful exposed woodwork, panelled walls, and calming decor. The kitchenette allows you to prepare lovely meals, which you can share at the fold-down table next to the cosy wood burner or in the outside seating area. Tucked away at the far end of the shepherd’s hut is a secluded double bed for a good night’s sleep. A separate shower room completes the accommodation. Outside, fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco amongst the trees, followed by an evening of stargazing under the dark skies. The property has private parking for two cars.

Burnham Overy Beach is reached via a 1-mile walk from the village’s harbour, making it one of Norfolk’s most secluded and unspoilt coastal spots. Pack a picnic and spend the day on the sand, admiring the breathtaking views and paddling in the crystal-clear water. From the harbour, you can also catch a ferry to Scolt Head Island National Nature Reserve for an afternoon amongst the local wildlife. The Norfolk Coast Path passes through the village, and there are also opportunities for sailing, kayaking, and paddleboarding nearby. For shopping and eating out, the bustling village of Burnham Market is 1.5 miles away.
