Great location, beautifully renovated and very comfortable, warm and well equipped cottage, perfect for the 3 of us. Right on the road so you have to be careful with dogs or small people when opening the door. Great village shop nearby and The Ship is a lovely pub. Easy 20 min walk to Brancaster beach (parking is £5 minimum so this is good!). We had a lovely week here and would definitely return. Only drawback and it's minor is that the parking space outside the cottage isn't really a parking space unless you have a very small car but we easily parked a bit further down the road.

1. The entrance way into the main bedroom is vey low. The "Duck" sign should be accompanied by padding on the top of the entrance archway - picture available 2. The space for parking outside the cottage is very narrow - picture available. Much better to advise renters to use the nearby Village Car-Park besides the village stores (50m away).

Gorgeous cottage we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was perfect, the garden with its many different areas to sit was really appreciated. The location was spot on so close to the beautiful marsh walk, village shop across the road, The Ship pub and a short walk to Brancaster Staithe to the White Horse (fabulous sea food), the fish shop and Deepdale stores.
