Simon and Rachel
Turning tides cottage is a cosy and quaint fisherman’s cottage situated on the cliffs of Scratby with stunning sea views. A stones throw from the beach, the cottage is ideal for a couple seeking a coastal retreat or a young family to enjoy family beach holidays. This character 2 bedroom cottage has a multi fuel wood burner stove in the cosy lounge for those cosy nights in after a day walking one of the many coastal walks exploring our stunning coastline. Bijou kitchen with everything you need for cooking a hearty meal. Small downstairs wet room with shower, toilet and wash basin. Upstairs 2 bedrooms, one double, one single both with sea views. The fisherman’s cottage also has a beautiful rear garden (which is bisected and accessed using a communal passage way) where you can relax, have a bbq and still hear the sea. Small front enclosed garden with table and chairs for you to enjoy the morning coffee with a view of the sea. Very family friendly with childrens books and games and not forgetting a selection of buckets and spades for your day on the beach. We accept one small well behaved dog. Holidaying with your dog, whilst we want you to have the happiest of holidays with your beloved dog, owners please be aware of a few considerations, although the back garden is enclosed there are some natural gaps in hedge so an inquisitive dog may be able to get into neighbouring gardens so please don’t leave your dog unattended in garden. Front garden is enclosed. We also ask no dogs upstairs or on the furniture. Scratby beach is dog friendly and I’m sure you will both enjoy hours and miles of our beautiful coastline PLEASE NOTE stair in the cottage are a traditional Norfolk winder stair case and are steep so please be mindful when booking.. Car parking is free and directly opposite in the carpark, there are no time restrictions on parking.
We love our cottage in scratby and look forward to welcoming you to enjoy our special place as much as we do.
There is loads to do in and around the local area. One big highlight not to be missed though and mentioned by virtually all our guests to a trip to Horsey to see the seals bathing on the beach. Unless it’s pup season you can walk amongst them on the beach.
