Here you will find a great beach and lots of traditional seaside attractions, including a small fair and a Sealife Centre. You can also take seasonal boat trips on the Wash Monster, which will take you on a sea safari to remember. You may even see some of the famous local seals! Travel a little further along the coast and discover an array of coastal habitats, including beautiful salt marshes, such as rspb Tichwell Marsh Nature Reserve and quays at Wells-next-the-Sea and Blakeney - perfect for a great photo opportunity, or even a spot of crabbing.

History buffs will be pleased to hear that the Hanseatic Quarter of Old Kings Lynn, the Sandringham Estate and Holkham Hall are all within easy reach and you can travel a little further and enjoy a trip to the medieval city of Norwich or the Blickling Estate.Beach 1 mile.

  • Confirmed Guest

    We had a lovely stay in this beautiful house. Everything we needed was there and the little extras left for us were a welcome surprise. They even filled the barbecue with charcoal We did have a power cut one evening during a thunderstorm and we were happy to see that there was backup lighting which came on automatically. Thank you for a fantastic stay!!
