Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently describe the cottage as spotlessly clean, indicating a high level of cleanliness that contributes to the overall comfort and appeal of the property.
The location is frequently highlighted as a dream, with easy access to pubs, shops, the coastal path, and beautiful sunsets, making it an ideal base for exploring North Norfolk.
Numerous reviews mention the cottage being cosy, comfortable, and warm, suggesting that guests find the property to be a comfortable retreat, especially after exploring the local area.
The cottage is noted as well-equipped and thoughtfully decorated, with all the necessary mod cons for a pleasant stay. However, one guest could not find oven gloves, which slightly impacts the score.
Guests are delighted by the thoughtful gestures such as homemade scones and jam, and meals prepared by Jo. While these personal touches are highly appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts are a special treat and may not be a standard offering for every stay.
About this property
A pretty former coastguard station with distant marsh views, Samphire Cottage is situated right in the centre of this popular fishing village and is within easy walking distance of two fabulous pubs/restaurants and the famous Fish Shed, where you can buy fresh fish which has literally been landed in the harbour a few hours before!
A pretty former Victorian coastguard station with distant marsh views, Samphire Cottage is situated right in the centre of this popular fishing village and is within easy walking distance of two fabulous pubs/restaurants and the famous Fish Shed, where you can buy fresh fish which has literally been landed in the harbour a few hours before!
A good base any time of year, families or couples, you will love its close proximity to the coast path and to the sandy beaches at Brancaster, Titchwell, Holme and Wells-next-the Sea.
Located on the coast road, the property is cosy and well equipped. It is freshly styled, adorned with local photographs and conveniently furnished for a holiday by the sea. With an open-plan sitting/dining room, leading through to a practical modern kitchen and small hallway, leading to a family bathroom and stairs to the first floor, this little bolthole is a comfortable seaside retreat. Upstairs you will find three well-appointed bedrooms; one double bedroom with a window to the front providing partial, distant marsh and sea views; a single bedroom and a twin bedroom to the rear. A south-facing, landscaped and fully-enclosed rear garden with garden furniture is the perfect spot to catch the sun’s rays after a busy day exploring.
In terms of where you to eat, you are well and truly spoilt … as you’re in easy walking distance of the family-friendly Jolly Sailor’s pub/restaurant (where you can also enjoy take-away pizza’s); the renowned White Horse gastro pub/restaurant, with its stunning views over the marsh from its verandah and dining conservatory; and Deepdale Café where you can enjoy a hearty breakfast or lunch throughout the year.

Home from home, everything perfect, the owners have put a lot of thought into the detail. Spotlessly clean, nice and warm. Great garden for doggie. Great location for walks on the marshes, Brancaster beach, and to the pub. Have already recommended to friends. We'll be back.

Lovely warm cottage, ideally placed for the birding hotspots on the North Norfolk coast from RSPB Snettisham to Sheringham and beyond. Well equipped, although I couldn't find oven gloves (there were two silicone mats which would do at a pinch). The week was wet & windy, so it was great to come back to the warmth and comfort at the end of each day. A short walk to the coastal path and harbour.
