About this property

Mayes Cottage, Brancaster, Norfolk

A super detached cottage in traditional Norfolk brick and flint with a brick extension in keeping with the main property, Mayes Cottage is brimming full of character and offers contemporary, comfortable living by the coast.

Mayes Cottage has been tastefully decorated and has gorgeous flooring and furnishings throughout. The heart of the cottage is the dining kitchen which has a vaulted ceiling, limestone flooring, full length windows and french doors leading into the enclosed patio garden. This sociable space is not only made for cooking and eating but for relaxing and chatting too. The stone floors are stylish and convenient, but you may wish to bring indoor shoes during the cooler months. The dual aspect sitting room with beamed ceiling, is a lovely room with a modern but cosy appeal. An extra large L-shaped sofa, a super efficient Clearview wood burning stove and widescreen Smart television ensure you have all you need for a 'night in'. The cottage has three bedrooms (king, double and twin) over two floors and two shower rooms (one on each floor) which works well for families or friends who appreciate privacy, independence and ground floor facilities. Outside is a secluded south facing shingle courtyard with table and seating, as well as a sheltered loggia so you can even sit outside even when it rains!

Perfectly located, Mayes Cottage enjoys such easy access to the beautiful local beach and many great local eating places, you might not wish to venture too far afield. However, if you do, you can always catch the Coasthopper bus that regularly runs through the village all year round and will take you to all the other wonderful villages along this stunning coastline. This is an area popular with walkers, golfers, sailors, cyclists, paddle boarders, kayakers, birdwatchers and dog owners! If you like shopping, trendy Burnham Market is just a few minutes' drive away and, for beach lovers, make sure you visit both Holkham and Wells-next-the-Sea, which stretch out as far as the eye can see.

Beachy Brancaster
We had a wonderful April week in north Norfolk at Mayes Cottage. The house is in lovely condition with all mod-cons and we immediately felt very comfortable. It is on the main road through Brancaster but this isn’t a busy road - certainly not at night - so we weren’t bothered by noise. Brancaster has the best beach in north Norfolk; there’s a friendly bar and restaurant 3 minutes away; and the local shop is nearby…..so it’s a great location.

Perfect in every way
Charming property in the heart of Brancaster and handily placed for walks and trips out. Very comfortable, warm and cozy with a fabulous kitchen. Ideal for a small family or group of friends.

Perfect!
Our third stay at Mayes Cottage, this time our first Winter break as opposed to the Summer ones previously. It really didn’t disappoint in any way. After bracing walks, we were welcomed back to the cosiness of the log burner - just perfect.

Wonderful cottage ideally located to make the best of N Norfolk
Comfortable and convenient. Well equipped and super layout, loved the extension. Minor moans :- beds only doubles and mattresses too firm, upstairs hazardous for those over 6ft. - once you’ve grazed your scalp you soon learn! Unbelievably two of locals closed for refurbishment!! We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and the holiday, thank you

Beautiful cottage
Mayes cottage is gorgeous. It exactly met our needs for family time away. Clean, warm, luxurious. Walking distance to a beautiful beach, quirky community shop just over the road. Heaven. We have already booked to return next year. We had some issues with responsiveness of the holiday company, though - needed chasing several times, and their responses were not always what I would consider acceptable - particularly considering the relative cost of the property (and hence their commission). They were always polite and friendly. Just slow and not always helpful. (Un)surprisingly, when we said we wanted to rebook, the response rate to take money from us was significantly faster than the response rate to answer our questions. (None of the queries we had reflect in any way detrimentally on the cottage, and have all ultimately been resolved.)
