A gorgeous and charming brick and flint cottage that has been beautifully styled

Beautifully styled by the owner, this gorgeous and charming brick and flint cottage was originally the stables to St Mary’s Church and the rectory. With all the bedrooms on the ground floor, this fabulous cottage is practical too. Peacefully situated in a private location, well away from the main coast road, but within a ten minute walk to the beach and only 5 minutes' walk to the renowned Ship hotel/pub/restaurant. Grooms cottage also has lovely fully-enclosed cottage gardens, so perfect for dogs and children and there is garden furniture to relax and enjoy long sunny days and al fresco dining. Grooms Cottage is a delight and has been sensitively refurbished over time to now offer ‘upside down’ living accommodation. Upstairs you'll discover the spacious open-plan living space with an open fire and a very well-equipped kitchen with range oven. The owners of Grooms Cottage are supporters of the RSPB and donate a percentage of each rental to the charity, so make sure you visit the RSPB reserves at nearby Titchwell or Snettisham, where you can explore the reserve and appreciate the fabulous bird and wildlife that frequent the area. With Brancaster Staithe in walking distance you can walk the coast path to buy fresh fish from the harbour where the boats land their catch. If you are a larger group of 12, then consider booking Betty's Cottage too, which also has a fully-enclosed cottage garden, so perfect for dogs and children. The cottages sit just 40ft away from one another, some plenty of privacy yet close enough to enjoy quality time together. Ground Floor: Master bedroom With a king-size bed and quality linens.
