About this property

Rosa Cottage, Brancaster, ideal for Weekly or Weekend Breaks, Mon or Fri arrival

Rosa Cottage had an amazing makeover over the winter of 2017/18.

Rosa Cottage is at the end of a narrow lane with open farmland to the South and West. The lane is part of the North Norfolk Coastal path and all that you are liking to see passing the door are walkers, dogs and the occasional vehicle.

There is a large open plan living area with a full height vaulted ceiling with a sleeping gallery over looking the living area and offering fabulous views over open countryside. There is a glimpse of the sea from here too but I can't call it a sea view!

The living room has a glass apex on both ends and full height bi-fold glass doors on the south facing side opening onto a patio area. There is a log burner for the colder nights, dining area and kitchen.

Three bath/shower rooms.

Rosa offers four bedrooms -
Kittiwake - a king size bed with ensuite shower room
Dove - a double bed with separate bathroom
Teal - a twin room with separate shower room
Seagull - the fabulous sunset gallery with double bed, lots of natural light but no privacy as part of the living area. A curtain and screen are provided.

The kitchen is equipped with an oven, hob and extractor, microwave, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Behind the cottage is a lovely sheltered patio and to the side a sunny south facing patio and lawn. There is ample parking space for several cars. Free Wireless Broadband is included. Well-behaved children and dogs (max 2) are very welcome but dogs are not allowed in the bedrooms. No smoking.

It is a 15-20 minute walk to the beautiful beach and a 5 minute walk to the pub which has a very welcoming bar and restaurant.

Arrival is after 4pm, departure is by 10am.

Brancaster Beauty

In keeping with others who have stayed at Rosa Cottage in Brancaster, we were bowled over by the condition, cleanliness and overall style of the property. It is spacious and stylishly appointed and furnished. It has everything one would need for a relaxing stay on the North Norfolk coast. It is up a quiet lane close to the main drag in sleepy Brancaster but very quiet and peaceful. Brancaster beach is a 20-minute walk away or 5-minute car ride. The owner takes Covid-19 safety extremely seriously with extensive turnaround cleans as well as ensuring a good availability of hand sanitisers in the house. In summary, you’ll be delighted at your choice from the first moment you open the front door until you reluctantly pull it behind you for the last time. Strongly recommended and somewhere we will definitely use again if we stay in the area.

Perfect Location

We really enjoyed our stay at Rosa despite rather a wet week. It is a very well equipped house and just as clean and modern as the photos show. It is a joy to be able to walk to the beach - Brancaster is a 10 minute walk along a path with wonderful views to the sea. We had drinks at The Ship which is a 2 minute walk away, a delicious supper at The White Horse in Brancaster Staithe and Sunday lunch at The Hero, Burnham Overy Staithe, and at the Thornham Deli. I can highly recommend them all. Just one thing I would mention changing is to put in a tumble dryer as we couldn’t get anything dry and as a result things started to smell damp, especially the towels. It was a particularly wet week though! Our last day was sunny and we spent all day on Brancaster beach and then had fish and chips at Wells - a wonderful end to the holiday. Many thanks.

Rosa Cottage in Brancaster

Directions to the property were easy to follow. We found the property matched that of the online photos. Rosa Cottage is well situated along the North Norfolk coast, giving easy access to the beach for walks. Or if you choose going to other areas in the locality. Our stay was very enjoyable and as it was during the winter months, although we got out to various spots. We did spend a lot of the time in the Cottage. However with the property being large we could either stay as a group or spend time doing separate activities. We can recommend the White Horse in Brancaster Staithe for an excellent meal whether it be lunch or dinner. Close by you have the Brancaster Store for supplies or coffee and cake. Also Thornham Deli. though this can be very busy. All in all Rosa Cottage is highly recommended for that family get together.

Family weekend away.

The house was amazing even better than it looked in the pictures( to be honest I wanted to move in) it is in a perfect location very quiet and private. It is a lovely walk to an amazing beach which Tilly our cockapoo loved, the local pub was great very accommodating and dog friendly. The food was spot on we went back a second time. We enjoyed a day out along the coast road stopping off at some beautiful places along the way. I would highly recommend Rosa Cottage and will most definitely be going back again later this year it is done to such a high standard with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Thank you very much for our stay 😊

Rosa cottage in January

This excellent house is situated in a wonderful location for birdwatching, beaches and a bevy of good food stops. Comfortable, clean, well equipped and warm Rosa is a fabulous property for friends and families, and dogs. Loads of hot water for the three bathrooms and comfortable beds make for a very relaxing return after walking the coast in search of birds or walking the dog. The outside taps, hot and cold, make sorting out mucky pups so easy. Then cook at home or go out to the many excellent pubs, walk to the Ship Hotel in Brancaster or breakfast at the Thornham deli. The extension is brilliant for tall people, no low beam head banging cottage this. We, 6 adults, and two dogs had a fabulous time. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Overton

Host profile image

We purchased Rosa Cottage in November 2004. After 13 years of happy guests, 526 bookings and lots of repeat visitors who return year after year we decided that Rosa was ready for a makeover which was carried out over the winter of 2017/18. We now have a home with the real "wow" factor (Our first guests words, not ours)!

Why they chose this property

For those who know Brancaster you will know why we have chosen this seaside village as your weekend or holiday retreat, for those who don't it's time you found out!
Rosa Cottage in Brancaster is peaceful and private but not isolated and is the perfect holiday home for couples or families. It sleeps eight comfortably.
We invite you to share it with us.
If, like us, you enjoy a lovely beach, great walking, fine dining, good pub lunches and attractive villages you will enjoy visiting our Norfolk home.
If you enjoy sailing and golf it is all on your doorstep.
Not to mention a little shopping trip just up the road to the delightful village of Burnham Market.
