About this property

The Lifeboat House, Brancaster, Norfolk

The Lifeboat House is a fabulous detached property tucked away off the main coast road in the centre of Brancaster, within walking distance to the beach. Bright and spacious with charm and character, The Lifeboat House makes a great base for family holidays.

The heart of the home, the stylish spacious country kitchen, has lovely shaker style fitted units including a sitting area with bar stools, a Range cooker, Butler sink and walk-in pantry, making cooking for a large family hassle free and convenient. The large dining area will comfortably seat the whole family round the table. Moving into the sitting room you will find a cosy wood burning stove and separate conservatory area for when you want to have a bit more space or peace.

Four nicely decorated bedrooms offer a variety of double, single and a permanent cot bed choices, some on the ground and some the first floor, served with bath and shower options. There are also the practicalities such as a boot room for dumping sandy shoes off the beach (or dogs!), utility room, ground floor WC and parking for three cars. Relax and unwind in the enclosed private garden with seating, which is laid to gravel and paving with mature shrubs. All in all - a perfect house for family holidays with plenty of space for everyone.

Opposite the house is an excellent children's play park. Brancaster beach is half hour walk or just a few minutes drive away. The popular Ship Hotel is within easy walking distance and has an outdoor al fresco dining area. There is also a great village shop, tennis courts, playing fields and social club in the village.

Pleasant New Year stay

First time booking with Norfolk Hideaways. Loved this house, lovely layout and quiet convenient location for a quiet break over New Year. Total of 4 adults a teenager and 3 dogs. 20 minute walk to fabulous beach. 5 minute walking distance to the Ship pub and a shop is located over the road. Kitchen well equipped with everything you would need for your stay. All appliances good quality. Sky and WiFi good reception. Fab boot room Bedrooms comfortable. 4 bedrooms in total on different levels and would comfortably sleep 9. Downsides- No wardrobe in the main bedroom. Lower floor bedroom/ shower room smelt musty/damp which seemed to clear a-bit once the heating had been on for 24 hours. There was a terrible draft in the front room from the conservatory as open plan and was very cold despite heating and log burner being on. We spent most of the time sitting around the table in the dining area which we preferred. Easy solution would be to fit french doors on to the conservatory rather than heavy curtains which didn’t quite touch the floor. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Good size house

The lifeboat house was very spacious and well equipped and location was fantastic. The only negative thing I have is that maybe it could have been cleaned abit more throughly I know it allows dogs and that's not a problem to us as we have been in properties before but I don't feel you should be able to know if anaimals have been there before there was lots of hairs in the front room and kitchen. Apart from that but we would still stay again

Family birthday get together. Special celebration for our family.

Spacious house that gave us room to be together or have individual quiet times. Well furnished with good beds. We had a most enjoyable week together. The problems didnt spoil our stay but could have been avoided. We loved the walks to the beach and nearby pubs, Very quiet location and good car parking. The owners rang to help re heating and were concerned their lovely home was clean for us. I list our problems so they can be fixed for future visitors. The house was very cold when we arrived on a chilly January day (had queried the heating prior to booking and been told the heating would be on when we arrived and wood would be available for a fire). No wood so had to drive to buy some. Heating then wouldnt come on the following day, so more wood needed. Norfolk Hidaway resolved the heating the same day. The lounge and and conservatory were one with the conservatory windows providing freezing draughts through large gaps, so the log fire was necessary to keep lounge warm in the evening, spent £30 on wood as a bag a day was used. Pantry was totally full, and I moved nearly empty cereal pkts etc and swept it cleanin order to have room. Need bin collection days listed as they hadnt been emptied so six of us, we like to cook, didnt have room for our recycling. Crockery and glaaes mostly good, but lot of chipped plates and cereal bowls. Another cafetierre and oven gloves and knife sharpener would be welcome.

The Lifeboat House

Great location and spacious living rooms compensated for a few niggling irritations, such as damaged fittings in master bedroom en-suite, standard items not supplied, notably a coffee maker / cafetiere, which we purchased whilst staying and left at property. The house was generally clean, although lower ground bedrooms were very dusty under beds. Downstairs cot fitting broken and no shaving mirror in shower room. BBQ not accessible - two disposables supplied by Norfolk Hideaways. Otherwise a good choice for a family group.

Great house, lovely location

Lovely comfortable, well equipped house. Furnished appropriately for a holiday let, good configuration of beds in each bedroom. Nice having three bathrooms. Excellent location, 3 min walk to a great pub, 15 min walk to beautiful beach. We were 3 generations in one house and it worked beautifully.
