This super cottage enjoys one of the best locations on the North Norfolk coast in Brancaster Staithe with the most spectacular and unspoilt views of the main harbour of this popular coastal village, that extend over to Scolt Head Island in the distance. And with your own private garden access onto the coastal path, you have found a winner!

In a former life, Blackhorse Cottage was initially the village pub and then became the local stores, but has since then become a very popular holiday property run under the same family ownership for over thirty years. Once inside the cottage, you will find it presents beautifully with a lovely relaxing, light and airy, spacious feel from top to bottom, with comfort always foremost in mind. To one side of the entrance hallway, you will find a large farmhouse style fitted kitchen/breakfast room with lovely exposed timbers and equipped to a very high standard with everything you could possibly need, and decorated in a charming nautical theme. Next door is a cosy family garden room where there is a solid fuel fire and a television with DVD player providing entertainment, this is a great place for little ones to play too. On the other side of the cottage is the lovely large sunny family room, referred to as the Marsh Room that has an inset dining area and two large sofas to sink into, with a Bose music system to play your favourite music. The name of the room speaks for itself - two floor to ceiling glazed wide sliding doors look out across the length of the garden and over to the ever changing marsh landscape. Take a seat and watch boats heading out with the tide and the roosting geese and wading birds at sunset. When it's time to retire, upstairs you will find three delightful bedrooms (a king-size and two twin bedrooms), all with high quality mattress toppers to ensure the best night's sleep, and served by two bathrooms, with one on each floor.

Outside, the cottage has a large, well-fenced secure garden with lawns stretching down to the coastal path, allowing plenty of room for children and dogs to run and let off steam. A hose is thoughtfully provided beside the back door for washing down muddy paws and little 'marsh monsters'! Two outside seating areas offer the opportunity to sit in the garden and watch the setting sun in comfort - just take your pick! The cottage is located centrally in the village; you have two really good pubs on the doorstep, as well as a fresh fish shack over the road, and the shops and facilities at neighbouring Burnham Deepdale are all within walking distance.

Bustling with the sailing fraternity, Brancaster Staithe is just a couple of minutes drive from Brancaster. Home to Brancaster Staithe Sailing Club, the harbour is an exciting place. Book a boat trip with Branta Cruises and enjoy a day out at National Trust owned Scolt Head Island. This island is one of Norfolk's best kept secrets - don't miss out. In high season, fresh seafood and coffee can be bought from the shed on the hard.

Visit the The Jolly Sailors where muddy boots are most welcome. For more formal dining book a table in advance at The White Horse which boasts spectacular view of the marshes from its conservatory and terrace. Enjoy local seafood whilst watching the tide come in over the creeks as the sky dramatically changes colour. If you're keen to rustle something up at home, The Fish Shed on the main road at Brancaster Staithe provides local fresh fish and produce. A trip would not be complete without tasting the famous Brancaster mussels, in season when there is an 'R' in the month, buy from the hard at Brancaster Staithe, or from Mervyn on the main road, who harvests them from the beds at the bottom of his garden. Fresh local crab is also on sale a few doors up. Kayaks and boats can be hired locally too - but make sure you know the tides. Wildlife along the coast is abundant and accessible. You will see marsh harriers wheel overhead along with avocets, oyster catchers and terns.

Brancaster Stores and Post Office houses a brilliant deli and coffee shop, as well as stocking plenty of every day goods. Brancaster Village Hall hosts Bar 71 where good times, drinks, friends and fun are served. It is the social heart of Brancaster village offering a licensed, family friendly bar with the cheapest drinks along the coast, and a calendar of monthly events including live music, discos, quiz nights, bingo, skittles and poker tournaments. Adjacent is 5 acres of playing fields, including two full size goals, a children’s playground along with equipment designed to help coordination and balance, and a family area with picnic tables. There are also new tennis courts. Brancaster offers something for everyone!

Neighbouring Burnham Deepdale hosts a parade of lifestyle shops and local craft shops, plus a cafe and petrol station. At nearby Titchwell only a five-minute drive, or longer walk away, is the RSPB Nature Reserve. A little further is Thornham, home to a fabulous beach, The Drove Orchards farm shop, and famous fish 'n' chip shop, Eric's. The Thornham Deli serves great breakfasts and meals throughout the day, and the lifestyle and homeware store is worth perusing.

Trendy Burnham Market is a beautiful and popular village with a colourful array of shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants, including The Hoste pub/ restaurant/ hotel, No. Twenty9, and Socius. Visit nearby Burnham Thorpe, the birthplace of Lord Nelson, to learn more about his life and retrace the local maritime history. Beautiful Holkham beach with its endless white sands is a must, as is Wells-next-the-Sea with its colourful beach huts and quay, where the young at heart can enjoy crabbing from the harbour wall. Make time to visit HM The King's private residence of Sandringham, and the National Trust estates at Felbrigg and Blickling.
