This three-bedroom cottage in West Runton, a quaint village on the North Norfolk coast, offers an idyllic retreat for family and friends at any time of the year. In colder months, cosy up on the sofa beside the log fire and cook hearty meals in the fully-equipped kitchen. On sunny days, sit out in the garden or pack a picnic to take to the local blue-flag beach, just fifteen minutes’ walk away. There are three large bedrooms, one of which has patio doors leading out to the garden, and two bathrooms with rainfall showers (one over a bath). Days out can be spent walking the Norfolk Coastal Path or visiting the nearby seaside towns of Sheringham and Cromer - be sure to try some of the latter's famous crab while you’re there. The village itself has several pubs, restaurants and shops, as well as a links golf course. Be sure to read up about the West Runton Elephant before your visit - the fossilized mammoth skeleton was discovered in the beach cliffs in 1990.
