Why they chose this property

Guests who stay here always remark on the fact that the cottage is in a very quiet and tranquil setting whilst only being a short drive away from stunning sandy beaches at Winterton-on-sea, river access to The Broads at Potter Heigham and a 30 minute drive from Norwich and many family attractions. Great Yarmouth itself offers the normal seaside fun which many families enjoy for a day out.

Furthermore, l pride myself on offering quality fixtures and fittings, linen, bedding etc. I aim to create a relaxing, cosy environment within the property paying attention to those added extras allowing my guests to feel at home and comfortable as soon as they walk through the door.

Throughout the year there are many different things to do and see. The Seal colony at Horsey is a 20 minute drive from the cottages and provides wonderful viewing when the pups are born during December and January - fantastic beach walks during Xmas and the New Year - and seals are usually evident along the coast either swimming or sunbathing at other times of the year.

What makes this property unique

Originally a hay barn Porters Cottage dates back to the 17th century formerly within the grounds of The Old Court House. Full of character and historical interest Porters Cottage now offers very comfortable accommodation whilst maintaining its charm. Both bedrooms offer full ensuite bathrooms with a bath and overhead shower, a fully enclosed garden is perfect for those wishing to bring dogs and also those with young families. Porters Cottage offers peace and tranquility a real chance to relax and unwind in the beautiful Norfolk countryside.
