Deceptively sized inside, Willow Cottage looks charming and cute, and still delivers big on character, comfort and personal touches inside and out. Furnished with an eclectic mix of vintage and contemporary styles, and with a decked area of garden backing onto a stream, Willow Cottage is a hidden treasure conveniently located for exploring the coast and countryside around North Creake.
This gorgeous Grade II listed abode is over 200 years old and was built circa 1800 at the end of George III's reign so comes with all the charm and history you could want. The slightly uneven floors, walls and staircase are testament to its long history. Although it looks small from the front it is big inside and offers a relaxing stay for couples or a family wanting to be in a great location not far from the best beaches in North Norfolk and the uber chic village of Burnham Market, with its numerous restaurants, galleries, shops and delis/cafes.
Willow Cottage is furnished to a high standard with decor and artefacts that the owner has collected over a number of years. Every effort has been made to make each room different and welcoming. The wood burning stove is perfect for cosying up in front of during winter evenings, and the bespoke kitchen is both practical and stylish.

Beautiful cottage, the decor has been really considered! Super cosy and felt very homely. There is a local pub a short walk away but sadly it was never open during our stay.
Having a car is a must as the bus service wasn’t great at all.
I would say it’s best suited to a group of friends or family’s with older children, the stairs and downstairs bathroom did prove a struggle for us. Would be a wonderful addition if there was a highchair/travel cot to help with the baggage.
