The cottage has a folder and a mass of information, maps and ideas for places to visit for all ages and interests, but do get in touch if you want any further local information or have any special requirements. North Creake has a friendly local pub within a short walk of the cottage. The Ostrich pubIn South Creake is undergoing total refurbishment and should be open by the summer. Creake Abbey, renowned for its restaurant, farmers' market and craft fairs, is under half a mile away. There is a huge network of excellent footpaths on the doorstep for dog-walkers. There are some great pubs and eateries nearby, including the Duck in Stanhoe and the Black Lion in Walsingham. The cottage has a pair of resident tawny owls and swifts nest in the roof in the summer, so do expect to hear them. The cottage is 2 miles from Burnham Market and within 5 miles of Burnham Overy Staithe, Holkham, Wells and Brancaster beaches which, if you do not already know them, are well worth googling as they are amazing. There is a bus that runs through the village, to and from Fakenham. In all honesty, a car is absolutely essential for freedom to explore the coast properly. Well behaved dogs are welcome. There is an outside tap and towels inside the door to clean up your pet before coming into the house. The cottage is situated well away from the road but the access at the front is not gated. The sunny back garden is child and dog-proof for added peace of mind. We expect all guests to be scrupulous about cleaning up after their pet(s) in the garden, please. As a courtesy to all our guests, please ensure that your dog’s flea and worming treatment are up to date. Please note that I do not provide towels for 3 night stays, although these can be provided upon request, at a small extra cost. Central heating is provided in the colder months free of charge until 11 am in the mornings and after 4.30 pm in the evenings. The heating MUST be turned off overnight. There is an extra charge if guests require heating between 11 am and 4.30pm. Alternatively, guests can keep the downstairs cosy by buying a £5 basket of logs and lighting the wood burner during the day.
