Sleepy Gull, Old Hunstanton, Norfolk

Sleepy Gull is a beautifully presented, well-equipped cottage by the sea, located in the lovely village of Old Hunstanton. With a fully enclosed garden and off-road parking space, Sleepy Gull offers an easy ten minute walk down to the beach, with all local amenities within easy reach.

On the ground floor, the comfortable sitting room becomes a haven for relaxation with a wood burning stove that emits cosy warmth and romantic ambient light on chillier evenings. Hunker down to watch a film on the Smart television or indulge your competitive side by playing the board games. The well-equipped kitchen features modern appliances including a Nespresso coffee machine, and offers plenty of worktop space for rustling up delicious meals.

Fabulous stay in lovely cottage

Sleepy Gull is a lovely, well equipped cottage in a great location. It is a warm, welcoming, comfortable house in a quiet location and the welcome pack was the best I have received. It's a great place to stay if you're walking or birdwatching and well placed for visiting most places in North Norfolk. We would recommend it highly and will definitely be returning for another stay.
