Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and a large garden. The prompt resolution of a boiler issue by the management team indicates good maintenance. However, the lack of multiple double rooms and the mention of the boardwalk not being buggy-friendly suggest some room for improvement.

About this property
A beautifully curated, spacious end terrace cottage, Sandpiper boasts some of the best panoramic views across the expansive saltmarshes of Brancaster. Perfectly located for sailing, paddleboarding, taking a boat trip, exploring the beaches, and indulging in culinary delights, this timeless hideaway is an idyllic base from which to enjoy a true Norfolk experience.
Beautifully furnished to a high standard with flair and imagination, Sandpiper showcases some exquisite lovingly refurbished vintage pieces. After a day spent exploring the big outdoors, nestle into the comfort of the sitting room as the cosy wood burning stove fills the room with warmth and ambient light. Watch the saltmarsh landscape change as the light fades, as wine, food and conversation is shared around the dining table long into the evening. With an irresistible selection of seasonal local produce available on the doorstep, the spacious, well-equipped kitchen provides everything any enthusiastic chefs might need. If dining out is the preference, Brancaster is home to two exceptional gastropubs, which are both within walking distance.
Upstairs, the dual aspect master bedroom hosts a double bed with views across the saltmarsh to the sea beyond. Bedroom two offers twin beds, with bunk beds provided by bedroom three. A fourth bedroom hosts a single bed with comfortable full-sized trundle bed. A good-sized family bathroom offering bath with shower over serves these bedrooms, with an additional contemporary shower room featuring walk-in rainfall shower located on the ground floor.
Outside, an impressive lawned garden enjoys uninterrupted views across the saltmarsh, and also features direct access to the coastal path. Being fully enclosed, this is a great space for supervised dogs and children to play safely. When the sun is shining, the barbecue beckons for al fresco dining around the outdoor table. Tranquil and calming, the garden invites guests to unwind with a coffee or a carafe of wine, as birdsong fills the air. Ample off road parking for up to three cars is available.

Such a beautiful, generous house. We came to Norfolk from Sydney, Australia to try to resolve some family problems, and it was such a balm to return to the beautiful views and gorgeous surrounds every night. We loved it here. Thank you so much.
