There is a definite chill in the air now, our summer clothes are firmly put away and we are fully embracing all the layers and starting to get in to the festive spirit! Autumn is one of our favourite seasons and even though it’s nice to hole up at home, we think it’s the perfect time of year to visit Norfolk and explore all the stunning countryside, beaches and festive events that are on (whilst also having time to cosy up in one of our stunning self-catering cottages of course!)
We’ve put together our top five properties in Norfolk for the ideal winter escape – think wood-burners, hot tubs, blankets & pubs close by for mulled wine…
Our stunning listing Heidi Corner in Winterton-on-Sea sleeps 4 and is one of our favourite places to escape over winter and you can even take two of your four-legged besties too! This charming coastal cottage is just 350 steps from Winterton’s sand dunes, winter wildlife and beach which is great for long winter dog walks and also for spotting the seals (from a safe distance of course) between Dec-Jan. After a long walk or day out exploring Norfolk, you can unwind in the private covered hot tub with fairy lights and a glass of fizz, or curl up in-front of the fire with a steaming mug of hot cocoa and board-game. There are blankets a-plenty as well as beds and treats for your pooches. Fancy getting out in the evening for some delicious seasonal food? Then there is a cosy dog friendly pub just 2 minutes away The Fisherman’s Return. It serves lots of real ales, has a fire you can snuggle up next to, and use local ingredients – with fresh fish often showing up on their specials board.
