GUEST UPDATE
Following extensive restoration and enhancement works which began October 2023 we are very excited and pleased to say we are now open from Easter 2024.
Rose cottage now has a new ensuite shower room, larger bathroom downstairs, new location of bigger enclosed garden - with a view of the Church next door, new windows, new log burner, new kitchen and new flooring throughout.
Rose Cottage is a charming detached 17th century Grade II listed brick and flint cottage with 2 large bedrooms, a double and a twin, spacious kitchen with dining area, fridge freezer, inbuilt microwave, electric hob and oven and airfryer and French doors leading out onto an enclosed garden, large sitting room with log burner, utility room, bathroom and all with free Wi-Fi. The enclosed garden and grounds have been landscaped with a communcal space with gazebo and BBQ area and had a total refit throughout. We have also added a hot and cold doggy shower for our furry guests.
The "home from home" feeling with traditional charm has its own private garden and off road allocated parking with access to a communal garden area with covered BBQ and seating area too.
Located in the sleepy village of GREAT SNORING, next to the village church and just 6 miles (12-15 minute drive) from Wells-Next-the-Sea the fabulous North Norfolk Coast and close to many local attractions and charming villages. Places such as Holt, Holkham Estate, Royal Sandringham, Houghton Hall, Bickling Estate, Burnham Market, the NT wildlife reserve at Blakeney, Brancaster for the seals, historial Little Walsingham, Sheringham and Cromer are all within easy reach from the cottage.
We are dog friendly with plenty of dog walks and dog friendly beaches nearby. There are an array of beautiful walks, both coastal and inland with the North Norfolk Coastal path stretching all along from Old Hanstanton to Cromer, plenty of golf courses, fishing, sea fishing, bird watching, nature reserves, a racecourse and some superb restaurants / pubs and many shopping opportunities including some amazing artisan shops with locally sourced produce.
North Norfolk just love their dogs and most are welcome in lots of pubs, restaurants and shops too. Most of the beaches along the coastline are dog friendly too.

About the host
Hosted by Karen May
After many years of long hours and commuting, we made a life changing decision that it was time to do something different and hopefully “buy some time” in our later years.
Karen was born in Hampshire and grew up in Africa before returning to the UK settling in Hertfordshire. Karen’s parents had 3 daughters and had a holiday home in Norfolk, a place where she spent many happy holiday years.
Andrew grew up in East London, trained as a Surveyor and spent over 30 years in Construction and Development, his family holidays were a mixture of camping and boating on the Norfolk Broads.
The pull to Norfolk for both of us was a natural next step with this being our first holiday let venture together.
We instantly fell in love with Great Snoring and the charm and character of Clevency Cottages and purchased all three cottages in December 2019. We both love being outdoors and long walks along the coastline and countryside and where better to do this but on the beautiful Norfolk coastline, enjoying the award winning beaches, most of them dog friendly, remarkable nature, the space, big skies, and experiencing the wonderful local people and produce. .
It is always worth sending me an enquiry if your preferred dates looked fully booked - the availability chart may be incorrect so please double check with me.
We look foward to welcoming you all.
