Stunning Seaside Cottage, Horsey. Walk to Dunes, Seal Colony & Norfolk Broads

CURLEW COTTAGE - LOVELY WALKS TO HORSEY'S SANDY BEACH, SEALS AND NORFOLK BROADS

Curlew Cottage has been carefully refurbished to create a stylish yet warm and homely atmosphere. After a day out walking, cycling, birdwatching, seal spotting, or playing on the beach you can look forward to returning to the comfort of Curlew Cottage and be able to relax.

This charming semi detached bungalow has wonderful walks to Horsey’s Seal Colony AND Horsey Mere, on the Norfolk Broads - with good circular walks too - past Horsey Mere, the Beach or both.

The contemporary kitchen and dining area has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Enjoy sitting around the kitchen table with your morning coffee, and a hearty breakfast before heading out to explore the Coast and The Broads. When you return curl up on the three seater sofa with a good book. The family bathroom, with bath and large shower enclosure is modern and luxurious and provides the ideal place to wash away the salt and sand from your coastal adventures.

The beautiful enclosed garden reached through the kitchen also provides the perfect place to start your day with a fresh breakfast on the terrace. Or later in the day, it's a great spot to fire up a barbecue and enjoy a glass of wine.

As well as being minutes away from one of the most accessible seal colonies in East Anglia, it is also an easy walk to Horsey Mere (Norfolk Broads) with its iconic National Trust Wind pump. On the other side of the lane to the front of the cottage there is a beautiful old traditional barn being renovated (currently being re-thatched). Curlew Cottage’s lovely large, enclosed and secluded garden is tucked away at the back of the cottage, and is completely private. It has a large terrace with bbq, and a garden table with seating for 4.

Come and enjoy our very special part of Norfolk. Horsey is one of the most important wildlife spots in East Anglia, not only for its incredible seal colony on Horsey Beach, but also if you are a keen birdwatcher. ‘Horsey’ is where it all began for the 'european cranes' remarkable return to the UK. These majestic birds settled and bred here for the first time in the UK in almost 400 years. Many other species of birds thrive here and one wonderful way of seeing all the wildlife is on Ross's Wildlife Boat trip on Horsey Mere on the Norfolk Broads (April - Oct).

Enjoy the huge expanse of Horsey's wonderful sandy beach for long coastal walks, beach holidays and sandcastles in the summer.

Enjoy the magic of being on the Norfolk Broads. Head off kayaking, sailing or motor boating on a nearby Broad.

Climb to the top of Horsey's National Trust wind pump and see the wonderful views across Horsey Mere.

Visit Poppyland's Dads Army themed café, The Nelson Head and The National Trust Tea Room (Apr - Oct) all in Horsey!

Just up the road is Sea Palling’s Blue Flag beach where you might even be tempted to try out the surf. Plenty of beaches to choose from up and down the coast.

Curlew Cottage is the perfect base for exploring Norfolk’s beautiful coast as well as The Broads with the added bonus of seeing lots of seals just an easy walk from the cottage.

Another outstanding stay
Our second time at the lovely Curlew Cottage and it was just as fabulous as the first! Everything you could possibly need for a home away from home. Bed was so comfy! Can’t fault this place. Lovely walk to the beach and hardly any other humans on it….just shared with hundreds of seals! Garden is perfect too! Did not want to leave!

Host profile image
We have been living locally for the past 20 years and love this special part of Norfolk. This is our second holiday rental. Our first one, Seal Cottage, Horsey which we set up two years ago has had wonderful reviews and is fully booked from 4th July until the end of September. If you want to find it for peace of mind before booking Curlew Cottage or want to book it instead, do try by typing in 'Horsey' and have a look at the reviews. If you are not having any luck please do message me.

Why they chose this property

Perfect for a quiet getaway or a family holiday.
It is in a great location - a lovely walk to the beach past the pub and then along a country path to a beautiful sandy beach. We are so lucky to be surrounded by such a wild and beautiful landscape - with both the Sea and the Broads on our doorstep.

What makes this property unique

Having both the Sea and the Broads on our doorstep.
The iconic National Trust wind pump.
Horsey's extremely rare European Cranes made their home here.
The beautiful unspoilt coastline. Miles and miles of dunes and sandy beach.
Horsey Mere - one of the quietest of all the Norfolk Broads - so a wildlife haven.
For a small village, it is lucky to have a pub, a Dad's Army themed café, a tea room, a large beach carpark and a wildlife boat trip.
AND ... Horsey's incredible wildlife and seal colony - seals can be spotted all year round.
