Located in Norfolk, Norfolk, the Turning Tides Cottage is a charming ex-fisherman's cottage from the 1850s with character features like a dual fuel log burner and exposed beam ceilings. Offering stunning sea views from both the front and rear, this cozy cottage is just steps away from a long sandy beach, ideal for coastal walks or family beach days. With a capacity to sleep 3 guests, including couples or a family with 2 young children, the cottage is family-friendly and situated in the seaside village of Scratby, close to local amenities and attractions in Great Yarmouth and Norwich.
The first-floor bedrooms offer sea views, with a double bedroom at the front and a single bedroom at the rear, complete with a stable door that doubles as a stair gate. The kitchen is fully equipped for family meals, and a high chair is available on request. The wet room includes a shower, sink, and WC, while the living area features a multi-fuel wood-burning stove for cozy evenings. Outside, a private garden with BBQ and patio furniture provides a relaxing space for summer evenings, with a front garden offering a seating area to enjoy sea views.
The cottage has been recently redecorated and furnished to a high standard, making it an ideal retreat for couples or young families with toddlers or babies. Beach essentials like buckets, spades, and windbreaks are provided, and check-in and check-out times are flexible upon request. Due to allergies, dogs are not allowed, and the cottage is strictly non-smoking. Guests can enjoy easy access to the beach, though there is a steep slope and steps to navigate. A basket of wood and kindling is provided, with more available for purchase locally. Group bookings are limited to couples and families only, ensuring a peaceful and enjoyable stay for all.
