About this property

Primrose Cottage is a traditional north Norfolk coastal property, positioned in the heart of the village, the oldest part of the cottage is believed to be at least 300 years old and it retains many original features creating a comfortable and cosy base from where you can explore all that north Norfolk offers. There is also the convenience of being only a short walk from both the pub, which offers a welcoming atmosphere and a tasty dining menu using local produce, plus the village shop for picking up those essentials. Step into the sitting room and be welcomed by exposed beams and a wood burner set in an inglenook fireplace, that will keep you warm during those cooler winter months. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a separate storage pantry off the hall, a spacious separate dining room leads from the kitchen with plenty of space to enjoy family meals and plan your holiday adventures. There are three bedrooms offering a choice of a king-size bed, single bed or a twin-bedded room (which can be zipped and linked to create another kingsize bed), these together with the benefit of two bathrooms provides flexible accommodation to suit the needs of a modern family, a first-floor ‘snug’ also offers opportunity to enjoy some ‘me time’ reading or browsing the internet with a well-earned mug of tea. At the front of the property is the south-facing cottage garden with a lawn edged by a pretty shrub and flower bed. The patio offers a sheltered area to dine al-fresco with a charcoal BBQ and table with chairs.An electric vehicle charging point is available and a summerhouse offers storage for bikes, should you wish to explore the surrounding area on two-wheels. The National Trust owned saltmarshes are only a 0.6 mile country lane walk from the village and you can connect to the north Norfolk Coastal path to extend your stroll to more fully explore the coastal scenery, families can enjoy traditional days by the beach at nearby Wells-next-the-sea or Holkham, Stiffkey is well placed to explore the north Norfolk coast with numerous market towns, historic sites and outstanding countryside for you to discover. (Typical of many old cottages the stairs in the property are narrower and steeper than modern equivalents and floor levels differ between certain rooms on both the ground and 1st floors, as such the property may not be appropriate for guests who have mobility issues or are visually impaired).

Situated on the north coast of the county of Norfolk and just 4 miles away from Wells-next-the-Sea is the small village of Stiffkey. The village plays host to one country’s richest saltmarshes for wildlife and is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making a great base for bird-watchers and walkers alike.

  • John

    Pub 100 yds away tasty meal but small and expensive. Lovely area for coastal walking and bird watching

  • Gill

    Beautiful garden. Excellent setting for a holiday, with local walks, local shop/ deli and pub/ restaurant. The owner is helpful and friendly. All in all a most enjoyable holiday. We have booked to come back.

    Great amenities, comfortable beds & lovely to have a real fire in the evenings, only plus would be a dishwasher, as I really don't want to be washing up when I'm on holiday. Also please can you put hooks on the back of the bedroom doors, to hang nightwear on! many self catering owners seem to forget this! A bonus however was parking for 2 cars! The Red Lion pub in the village of Stiffkey is a great place for a meal and the local shop has delicious cakes & coffee. We were able to easily visit Holt, Burnham Market ( recommend having Sunday lunch at No 29 & tapas at the excellent Socius) Wells-next-the-Sea & Sheringham and had a trip into Norwich ( my home city), using the airport Park & Ride. Another alternative is to take the train from Sheringham. A great stay & we would definitely book again.
