The details
This is a traditional Norfolk cottage with thatch and flint walls dating back 300 years. Renovated by the owners in 2015 and now providing an excellent holiday base in this conservation area of the coastal village of Bacton, North Norfolk.
The accommodation is as follows
Sitting room with seating for 5 with large comfortable 3 seater sofa and 2 fireside chairs. Traditional fireplace with electric flickering 'wood burner' fire adds extra warmth if needed. Cupboards containing traditional board games and a Smart TV/DVD combo is provided. The sofa converts into a comfortable double bed.

Well equipped oak fitted kitchen with fridge, cooker/hob, microwave, toaster, kettle etc. Cutlery, crockery for 6 and a full range of cooking utensils and items are provided, Pine dresser and round dining table and 4 chairs + extra chairs if needed.

Kitchen leads to lobby to rear garden. Lovely patio area with table and chairs for breakfast catching the morning sun. Beyond the patio is a long garden with path and lawn bordered with shrubs/flowers. The sun shines in the garden most of the day but shade is provided by a large apple tree. Sun loungers and table and seats provided in the outside store along with an extra fridge freezer.

The ground floor family sized bathroom is off the sitting room with a low level WC, hand basin, panelled bath with shower and screen, heater, large airing cupboard and washing machine.

The bedrooms are up the traditional cottage stairs behind a door in the corner of the sitting room. The wooden stairs are quite steep and narrow with a built in stair gate at the top. The single bedroom is at the landing at the top of the stairs fitted with wooden rail and stair gate. There is a single bed and a folding bed is available if needed for an extra guest.

The main double bedroom is off the single bedroom with a comfortable pine framed bed and cupboard for storage. Window overlooks the front garden.

The enclosed garden at the front of the property is perfect for sitting on the bench watching the world go by and catching the evening sun. The fully enclosed rear garden catches the sun throughout the day and has a patio with seating perfect for breakfast and a raised flower bed and grassed garden with trees and shrubs with sun loungers and seating lovely for evening meals/BBQ.

We are happy for your well behaved pets to stay too and enjoy the cottage with their owners.

There is no parking immediately outside the cottage due to double yellow lines but roadside parking is available in the adjacent roads. We provide an off-road parking space for guests at our other new holiday cottage a short 4 minute walk away (see property ref 10724287)

We are very proud of our holiday home and want you to enjoy your stay but would advise that it is an old cottage with wooden floors, uneven walls and surfaces. Some of the latch and brace cottage doors are quite low and you will need to take care not to bump your head if you are tall. The stairs are quite narrow and steep and the elderly or very young would need to take care using these.

New for 2020. We have just finished work on a new 3 bedroom holiday cottage a short distance from Keswick Cottage. It is also a traditional seaside cottage although built in a different period and offers traditional features with modern comforts for a larger family or group of friends. Checkout Coastguard Cottage on this website ref 10724287. All enquiries welcome.

Delightful thatched cottage
On first entry, we were surprised by the space. A good size lounge leading through to the kitchen dinner. Lovely rear enclosed garden and worth exploring right to the bottom. It does seem quite endless with a lovely suntrap. Spacious bathroom. Lovely oldy worldy wooden staircase to the 2 bedrooms. Very comfortable bed. Visited Sheringham, Sheringham Park, Walcott, Blickling, Cromer and Norwich. Many beach walks with dinner at the Poachers Pocket.

Trip to Bacton
We had a lovely time and the cottage was in a perfect spot. A walk around the corner to the beach and flowers left by the owner. It’s a quaint little place that comes with the usual things. Such as a low door way and winding staircase which you do get used to. The garden really was lovely to sit in and private too.

Lovely Cottage and Great Location
Lovely little cottage in a great location. 2-3 min walk from Bacton beach which is really pretty and quiet. Great for walks (with or without a dog). Perfect base location for other popular places like Cromer and Sheringham (30 min drive). Thank you, we would definitely stay again.

Lovely stay
Had a lovely time at the cottage in Bacton. Great base for visiting Norfolk. Host was very helpful and a lovely touch leaving us a bottle of fizz our Birthdays. Cottage is very quaint. Some little visitors in the loft i could hear at night, ear plugs in no problem. Ideal for a short stay. Gorgeous beach 2 mins away.

Great place to stay, perfect base near to the beach. Everything you need is provided but no DVD player, couldn’t find it as part of the TV but it did say there was one. All you need in the kitchen but the roasting trays were very dirty and had to wash first. Amenities all close by and would stay again as the garden was nice and secure for the dogs 🐶

Great location, sweet cottage and we enjoyed our week there. However, it does have drawbacks. The steep narrow stairs are unsuitable for elderly or infirm guests. The ageing thatched roof means that rodents in the roof keep one awake at night. The plug in the bath was broken so we could only shower not bathe. The WC did not flush properly with one pull. Needs attention. Both of these issues were explained to the owner at the start of our holiday but no action offered other than it would be resolved at the end of our stay. Not good and unprofessional.

Perfect stay
Perfect location and a lovely little cottage . A short 5 minute walk to the beach which we loved especially our dog Florence. The cottage is very comfy. We had a couple of minor problems but they were very quickly rectified by owner Diane who replied to us within minutes. The bed was comfy and a quaint little window in the bedroom added to the character. The stairs although a little tricky are part of the quirkiness of the cottage. The garden is lovely and secure for dogs and its lovely to watch all the butterflies. The location itself is a really good base to get around from .Bacton woods are a 5 min drive away and worth a visit although I recommend the all trails app to follow for the circular route as its not very well sign posted. The ship inn and the lighthouse inn are both lovely . The poachers pocket has a nice view and is great to have a drink but the food is not brilliant. Carmel cafe 5 minutes up the road is a lovely vegan cafe and the staff are lovely and so is the food. Overall we had a fantastic stay. The weather was perfect and we were sorry to come home. We would definitely return again.

It's peaceful, close to supermarkets (local Premium store has lovely bread from Cromer), and only 4 minutes from the beach (on the way, one of the houses sells home made jams, etc... we couldn't get enough of the marmalade) and wow, what a beach.
