About this property

2 bed cottage, perfect for friends, family & pet friendly in village location

WE ARE NOW OPEN FOR BOOKINGS.

Following extensive restoration and enhancement works which began October 2023 we are very excited and pleased to say we re-opened Easter 2024.

Cherry Tree Cottage has a new roof, new kitchen and new bathroom with a bath and shower and has been totally refurbed.

With the cottage being over 300 years old we have already unearthed some lovely original features which have been enhanced for our guests to enjoy too. The enclosed garden and grounds have been landscaped with a communcal space with gazebo and BBQ area and had a total refit throughout.

We have also added a hot and cold doggy shower for our furry guests.

All our renovations and enhancements are now complete and we are so pleased with the results

Cherry Tree Cottage is a charming 17th century brick and flint cottage with 2 large bedrooms, a very large double with king size bed (with space for an extra bed if required) and a twin room, with 2 x 3ft single beds, family bathroom with shower and bath, spacious kitchen with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer with dining and seating area. The kitchen also has its original features including the bread oven, fireplace and salt cupboard with door to the enclosed garden. From here the Norfolk "winder stairs" (with full bespoke balustrade) leads upstairs.

There is a large, airy sitting room with log burner and inglenook fireplace and plenty of space for all your shoes and coats.

The "home from home" feeling with traditional charm has its own private enclosed garden and allocated off street parking. There is a communal garden for all guests to enjoy too.

Located in the sleepy village of GREAT SNORING, next to the village church and just 6 miles (12-15 minute drive) from Wells-Next-the-Sea the fabulous North Norfolk Coast and close to many local attractions and charming villages. Places such as Holt, Holkham Estate, Royal Sandringham, Houghton Hall, Bickling Estate, Burnham Market, the NT wildlife reserve at Blakeney, Brancaster for the seals, historial Little Walsingham, Sheringham and Cromer are all within easy reach from the cottage.

We are dog friendly with plenty of dog walks and dog friendly beaches nearby. There are an array of beautiful walks, both coastal and inland with the North Norfolk Coastal path stretching all along from Old Hanstanton to Cromer, plenty of golf courses, fishing, sea fishing, bird watching, nature reserves, a racecourse and some superb restaurants / pubs and many shopping opportunities including some amazing artisan shops with locally sourced produce.

North Norfolk just love their dogs and most are welcome in lots of pubs, restaurants and shops too. Most of the beaches along the coastline are dog friendly too.

About the host

Hosted by Karen May

Host profile image
After many years of long hours and commuting, we made a life changing decision that it was time to do something different and hopefully “buy some time” in our later years.

Karen was born in Hampshire and grew up in Africa before returning to the UK settling in Hertfordshire. Karen’s parents had 3 daughters and had a holiday home in Norfolk, a place where she spent many happy holiday years.

Andrew grew up in East London, trained as a Surveyor and spent over 30 years in Construction and Development, his family holidays were a mixture of camping and boating on the Norfolk Broads.

The pull to Norfolk for both of us was a natural next step with this being our first holiday let venture together.

We instantly fell in love with Great Snoring and the charm and character of Clevency Cottages and purchased all three cottages in December 2019. We both love being outdoors and long walks along the coastline and countryside and where better to do this but on the beautiful Norfolk coastline, enjoying the award winning beaches, many of them dog friendly, remarkable nature, the space, big skies, and experiencing the wonderful local people and produce.

We now live in Norfolk and are continuing our journey together exploring this wonderful county, walking, cycling, open water swimming and the endless boutique shops, passionate artisan shops and markets and stunning scenery.

We are so pleased you are considering north Norfolk as a destination to visit and hope you enjoy all it has to offer as much as we do.

It is always worth sending me an enquiry if you would like to book all three of our cottages - fabulous for extended breaks away.

Why they chose this property

Home from home in a rural, quiet village setting and a perfect location to explore the whole of the north Norfolk coastline. North Norfolk love their dogs and you will find most pubs, restaurants and shops welcome them too.

What makes this property unique

17th century Grade II listed cottage with an original "Norfolk Winder" staircase, logburner, bread oven and salt cupboard.
Perfect for that quiet break but within easy reach to the beaches, villages, historical areas and wildlife.
