About this property

Nan's Cottage, a charming flint cottage in a Norfolk village

Entrance
The entrance door opens into a pantiled entrance hall with a washing machine and shoe rack. This leads to a bathroom on one side (with a great pressure shower over the bath) and a double bedroom on the other side which is ideal for elderly or mobility-impaired guests.
The hallway leads into a modern fitted oak kitchen with a dining table that seats 6 plus one (high chair). Off the kitchen are double patio doors leading to the fenced rear garden and alfresco dining area.
Next to the kitchen is the lounge with 3 leather double sofas. The lounge has books, games, DVDs, Free-sat HD TV and a Blu-ray DVD player.
From the lounge, there is a unique spiral stone stairway going up to two bedrooms. One is a large king-size master bedroom and the other is twin bedded, furnished in a striking black and white finish.
Nan’s Cottage outside and garden
As you arrive there is a sign to show you Nan’s Cottage parking area. The front garden is laid to lawn with a sectioned off gravel area for parking. There is extra space to park forward of the garden on the gravel road to the property.
The rear garden is laid to pea shingle and has a seating area just outside the patio doors off the kitchen and a separate outdoor dining area. There is also access to a BBQ Hut for the colder months, access by request.
There is a private Hot Tub to make the most of your relaxing break away in North Norfolk.
The rear of the property looks out over the Stody estate arable fields and woodland as far as you can see.
The rear garden is fenced so the area is secure and safe for well-behaved dogs.
Surrounding area
The property is sited on the North-Eastern edge of Briston village with views over fields and woodland.
The cottage is only a short drive from the historic market town of Holt, a regular haunt of the Royal family when in Sandringham. There are regular shops and cafes together with plenty of antiques and bookshops.
Nearby are Morston (bird reserve and seal viewing trips) Blakeney, Cley and Salthouse. A little further along the coast gets you to Sheringham, Cromer and, in the opposite direction, Wells Next the Sea and Burnham Market.
Norwich is a 40-minute drive away as is Kings Lynn. Sandringham, Blickling and Holkham estates are all a great day out too.

Lovely cottage in great location

We stayed for a long weekend and used the cottage as a base for exploring from. The cottage is perfect - clean, tidy and a great location. Kevin was a great host and helped solve a problem very quickly. The hot tub is a great addition. We will be back again in the not too distant future.

Lovely place to stay

The property is very well equipped and comfortable. The hot tub is great along with the outside seating area. The host is very helpful The cottage is ideally located for visiting the coast of for going into town if the weather isnt the best. The only downfall with the property is that the firepit house takes upchalf of the garden but not useable.for helthand safety reasons but apart from that the place is great

Awesome break

Kevin was so lovely and friendly. Easy to find and keys etc were easy to find. Cottage was tastefully decorated and had everything you needed. The cleanliness was great and we really enjoyed our time in the cottage. The garden was well kept and the hot tub was a fab addition. The surrounding area was beautiful and with so many different things to do all within a short distance. The pubs and restaurants were also plentiful. All in all 10/10 from us!

Ideal location

We wanted a nice cottage with a hot tub that was close enough to drive a short while to a beach. This is exactly what we got. Kevin and Jan are excellent hosts. They are friendly, approachable and helpful whilst keeping enough distance to give us privacy. Nothing was too much trouble.

relaxing weekend in well appointed cottage

Nans dottage is a well appointed cottage in quiet and tranquil village just 20 minutes from the beautiful North Norfolk coast and beaches. There are many thoughtful facilities added by the host from hot tub to coffee maker. There is a great TV but apparently the previou guests had broken the remote and DVD cord which reduced its attraction. Kevin the host was responsive and helpful despite being unwell at the time.

Great little Cottage

Set in the beautiful village of Briston, a very peaceful location. At the bottom of West End road is the local pub called the Three Horseshoes, great food, lovely staff and one of the prettiest gardens we have ever seen. The cottage has a great power shower in the bathroom which is located on the ground floor. It’s a ten minute drive to Holt and just a short drive on to Weybourne/Sheringham and Cromer. The local deli/butchers has some lovely food and they serve hog roasts everyday along with freshly made rolls, great to take to the beach.

Great place for a quiet getaway

Spent 4 relaxing days at the property. Everything was clean and orderly. The highlight was the hot tub in the secluded backyard with loads of privacy and quiet. Will certainly visit again.

Perfect family accomodation

We loved this cottage so much. Clean and with all comforts provided in quaint little village with beautiful walks in the countryside. It was the perfect accomodation for a family with young children, fabulous norfolk beaches a short drive away, and plenty of games and books to keep the kids entertained on a rainy day. Lovely and attentive hosts, excellent communication. Would love to come back again
