About this property

Swan Cottage, South Creake, Norfolk

Swan Cottage is a large traditional chalk and brick detached Norfolk cottage dating back to the 19th century, set in the middle of a one acre plot, with uninterrupted rural views over the rolling countryside. There is a 10m outdoor heated swimming pool (open beginning of May to end of September, weather permitting) and an outdoor kitchen with wood-fired pizza oven and a built-in gas barbecue.

This fabulous property is set in a fantastic location, close to Burnham Market and only a short drive to the coast with its glorious never-ending stretches of soft sand. Swan Cottage boasts five bedrooms, including two master suites; one upstairs with a large en-suite including a cast iron bath and walk-in shower, and one downstairs which comes with a king-size bed, wood burning stove and en-suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms upstairs and a family bathroom.

The heart of the house is undoubtedly the open-plan kitchen and living area, with an AGA and conventional oven, relaxed dining area, comfy seating area, television and a wall of folding doors which open onto the rear garden which has garden furniture and a table and chairs. There is a separate more formal dining room and also a main sitting room/snug with open fire and television. Downstairs has natural stone flooring throughout making the house perfect for dogs and children and there is solid oak flooring upstairs.

Swan Cottage offers guests luxurious little extras such as 400 thread count Egyptian Cotton linens and soft pillows and duvets to provide a wonderful night's sleep, Egyptian cotton towels, complimentary toiletries and a welcome hamper on arrival.

The outside is just as lovely as the inside and you will adore the pool and dining alfresco together on warm summer evenings - take your pick whether you grill over the coals or create and bake your own pizza in the outside oven!

The poolside garden is fenced and gated from the rest of the garden - children must be supervised at all times. Please note that the River Burn passes through the bottom of the garden so again children must be supervised. The front garden is fully-enclosed making it secure and suitable for dogs (once the gate is shut).

Additional Information
Two well behaved dogs are welcome (small additional charge).
Maximum occupancy 8 adults plus one child.
Please note that use of any of the outdoor facilities at Swan Cottage is entirely at guest's own risk. Children must be supervised at all times.

Very nice cottage
The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable. It made a great place for all the family to interact. Making pizza was a good night and the bbq is a good size. Rooms are very plush and couldn't be a better location for a holiday. Thanks. Will Highley recommend it.

A great new year stay for all the family
We were an extended family of 9 and 2 dogs, the house was perfect for our needs, a lovely big garden and plenty of parking for 3 cars. It was spotlessly clean throughout and the kitchen was very well equipped, even the Aga worked very efficiently (which has not been the case in previous property rentals. The children loved the 2 massive TVs with Netflix and sky. Many of the lovely beaches were only a short drive away so it was in a great location. We would certainly stay here again. Many thanks.

Great location
We had a great week at Swan cottage. The house is very well equipped and comfy. There is plenty of room for all and the dog was well catered for outside. Our only regret was that we couldn’t use the pool, obviously a great asset in summer months. We could not use the outside barbecue as the lighting had failed. 85/100

Fabulous
What a place to be locked down in. The house and garden are truly beautiful and it was a pleasure to stay here. the area looks lovely, long empty beaches to enjoy and some of the nearby restaurants and cafes looked great but were unfortunately closed due to the lockdown which occurred on the day of our arrival. We will return in happier times.

Fantastic Christmas Break
My husband and I and our dog stayed at Swan cottage for a week over Christmas with my mum joining for a couple of nights. The cottage is lovely and done to a very high standard. The downstairs bedroom with the log burner was wonderful and the bed and linen very comfortable. The pool wasn’t open when we stayed but I imagine in the summer it would be wonderful to spend time in the garden, which is very private, enjoying the pool and the outdoor kitchen. Both gardens were secure for our dog which is very important to us. We hope to return in the summer!
