We loved our stay at Lawrie's place in North Creake! The house was the perfect spot for 6 of us for the week. The open plan kitchen/diner was perfect for cooking and eating together, and all of the rooms were spacious and comfortable.Would recommend this place to anyone!
Spent a week and this lovely cottage with my two sons and their wives (and 2 dogs). Excellent location, 10 minutes to Burnham Market. Comfortable rooms, well equiped kitchen, cosy sitting room and pretty garden. We all had a well needed rest.
Wonderful house close to beaches, ideal for family stays
The house and garden are gorgeous - surpassed all our expectations. Brilliantly well equipped, beautifully designed and decorated, we loved it all. Less than 5 mins to Burnham market for provisions and 10 to the wonderful Brancaster beach. Host was very helpful and responsive.
Very nice house, lovely garden, wish the weather had been warmer, so we could have used it in the evenings.Comfortable beds, it was good to have 3 bathrooms, just a small problem with the upstairs shower.Lots of places near by to visit.
Super little cottage ! Very responsive host. We’d arrived early and they were happy for us to access it an hour ahead of time. Well stocked kitchen and very comfy beds. Plenty of logs for the fire ! Just a shame it wasn’t decorated for Christmas for a December booking. Would definitely return.
The house was great! And communication with the host was prompt and friendly. We'd love to return

About the host
Hosted by Lawrie Matthews
We're from Cambridge UK, and love large sandy beach walks with our dogs. The North Norfolk coastline is one of the best in the UK, and we now love hosting our cottages to delight other holiday-makers. It's a small business, but we hope to treat you like royalty! (BTW did you know Sandringham palace is 20 mins away, and well worth a visit).
Why they chose this property
We have been coming to this area for more than 15 years, and finally decided to buy a holiday let, in the hope that others may enjoy it as much as we do.
The north Norfolk Heritage coastline is 4 miles away, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is a truly beautiful part of the world offering many ways of wiling away leisure hours including sailing, bird and seal watching, golf, cycling, walking and fine sandy beaches.
It's best to explore the area using a car. The properties have off street parking for 4 and 2 cars accordingly. You can also park in the village.
What makes this property unique
Knyvetts and Fayette are both finished to a very high standard, having been launched in 2024. Our lovely guests tell us that they love the style and luxurious finish, as well as the convenient location for the large sandy beaches 10 mins away. Reviews on all renting platforms are 100% 5 stars after one year (our own next-the-sea.com, Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO). Please come and see for yourself!
