Detached Listed Grade 2 House with enclosed walled garden
The Manse, approached via metal gates, is a charming Grade II listed traditional detached cottage situated in the popular village of South Creake. Just a few minutes drive south of Burnham Market, and ten minutes from the coast at Brancaster or Wells, it is well positioned to explore all of the North Norfolk coast and surrounding countryside. A much loved second home, The Manse provides spacious accommodation for up to six people, with a fully enclosed garden and high quality furnishings throughout. The living space downstairs includes a contemporary kitchen with breakfast bar, separate utility room, dining room and comfortable sitting room. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a twin bedroom with an en suite to the master bedroom and a family bathroom. To access bedroom 3 you go through bedroom 2. There is a lawned garden to the front of the cottage and garden furniture for six people. The whole garden area is walled and fully enclosed. There is a pretty chapel facing in to the grounds of the cottage, which is independently owned by the Yorke Trust and has a separate access outwith the grounds of The Manse. The chapel is used periodically for classical music concerts or teaching, however this is very infrequent and takes place without disturbance to The Manse.

A well-equipped, spacious house in a fantastic location for exploring North Norfolk. The outside space is particularly nice and the property has everything you need for a week away.
A beautiful, clean property, well equipped and with amazing artwork! We enjoyed the pergola with lights and barbeque. We had a lovely stay, visiting all the nearby beaches.
Our family, mum, dad and two kids aged 7 and 6 had a memorable week in this beautifully set out property. It had everything we needed and our host was welcoming and quick to respond to any questions.
Gorgeous cottage in the countryside, clean spacious & everything you need for the perfect stay! Kitchen well equipped, ideally situated for Wells next the sea, & Cromer if you want to go further afield! & all the other beautiful places in-between! Would definitely go again.
Our family had a wonderful week’s stay. The house is exceptionally well equipped with thoughtful extras, spacious and comfortable. The outdoor is completely safe with the walled garden and sturdy gate. The location is great too. No long drives necessary to get to the beach, parks or stately homes. The owner was very quick to communicate and gave us very clear information.
We have just spent a really enjoyable week in South Creake. The Manse is a lovely property which is very comfortable and well equipped. South Creake is perfectly located as a base for exploring all of North Norfolk and has the advantage of being close to the coast without all of the traffic etc. There is lots to do and Burnham Market with all of its great shops and eating places is only a short drive away. Nic is a very attentive host who responds very quickly to any enquiry. I can't recommend highly enough
House is a great base for visiting coastal and countryside villages in North Norfolk. The house is set on the outskirts of South Creake and has a lovely, peaceful garden to enjoy. You are spoilt with 2 fridges in the kitchen and a third fridge/freezer in the utility room which in all the years we have done self-catering, we have never experienced this. I'm sure this is a great plus for a stay at Christmas time!
The only slight niggle was the hot water is only on for 2 hours (quite early in the morning) and 2 hours at night. We were a party of 4 adults so there was no rush to be early risers but by the time the third member of the party had a shower, the water was getting cold, although we did work out we had the ability to put the booster on but none of us dared to have a bath!
All in all, a very enjoyable week!

Ein wunderschönes, stilvolles und gepflegtes Ferienhaus, das alles Notwendige für einen entspanntenh
Im reizvollen Norfolk liegt The Manse in der kleinen Ortschaft South Creak unweit des Strandortes Wells. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind dort und in Fakenham vorhanden. Neben der Landschaft, gibt es schöne Architektur sowie tolle Kirchen zu entdecken. Wenige Autominuten entfernt liegt der Shrine of Walsingham, ein zentralen Pilgerort der Anglikanischen Kirche. Familien sollten sich Holkham Hall nicht entgehen lassen. Der Vermieter des Hauses ist sehr freundlich.

Restful and relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings
We stayed at the Manse house to celebrate my 40th birthday and take a well earned break from our stressful careers. My husband and I and our two children (6 & 2) had a wonderful week staying in this property. The location is excellent, very near to Burnham market with all it has to offer and a short drive away to some of the best beaches in the country. We spent a few glorious days at Holkham, one day exploring the estate on bikes and another at the beach. The house itself is lovely, very tasteful decor and everything that you could want in a holiday home. The house is a great size for a cottage, no ceiling height issues and three bathrooms plus it has a god sized kitchen with a utility. The garden is pretty and has a light up pergola for eating under outside.
We enjoyed staying in this property immensely, we come to Norfolk most years and this was our best stay yet with many happy memories made.
