About this property

Job's Cottage is a beautiful three-bedroom semi detached cottage resting in the heart of Snettisham, Norfolk. Within easy reach of amenities, attractions and the fabulous coast, the cottage welcomes a family or group of six for a homely retreat. Off-road parking for two cars is available for guests, along with extra roadside parking; park up and admire the classic, peaceful street in this traditional Norfolk village. A pet-friendly cottage, the outside areas are fully enclosed to keep your canine companion safe, including a gated, gravelled side path leading to the handy porch entrance. Kick off your shoes and head straight into the spacious, well-equipped kitchen/diner with ample storage space, beautiful tiled flooring, dining for six guests, and a range cooker in a rustic alcove where the family chef can cook up a storm. Next door you'll find a utility room with a washing machine to throw in sandy towels and muddy walking gear, as well as an extra fridge to store your favourite self-catering ingredients. Start the woodburning stove for extra warmth in the lovely, large sitting room, complete with comfortable sofas, armchairs and a cushioned bay window seat; grab a book off the shelf, watch your favourite film on the Smart TV and catch up with your loved ones. Completing the ground floor, a cloakroom with basin and WC is perfect to quickly freshen up before dinner! Follow the carpeted, twisting stairs to the first-floor landing with plenty of light pouring in from a large roof window; unpack your belongings in one of three spacious bedrooms, each with pretty décor, ample storage space and tall ceilings. A double bedroom boasts a fabulous en-suite shower room for extra privacy, alongside a king-size double and a twin to rest your head ready for the next day's adventures. Choose a relaxing soak in the freestanding bath or rinse off in the walk-in shower in the sleek, contemporary family bathroom. Find the perfect, pet-friendly outdoor space, fully enclosed for playing games on the lawn or dining alfresco at the patio with outdoor seating. From Job's Cottage, there are plenty of public pathways to walk the dog or bring your bikes to cover more ground of the renowned Norfolk coast. Snettisham is a superb location for a self-catering holiday in Norfolk, with Snettisham beach within easy reach to relax in the sand and soak up the sun, whilst the picturesque village is home to two pubs, a bistro, a convenience store and an antiques and collectables centre. Pack your towels and binoculars to journey a little further along the coast, by car or via the regular bus service links, to explore nearby RSPB attractions and the stunning beaches of Holme, Holkham and Blakeney. Spend the day wandering the halls and incredible grounds of Sandringham Estate and St Mary Magdalene Church, with a museum hosting displays of royal life, or venture further afield to find a variety of idyllic villages. Venture over to Heacham, a large village with a sandy beach to stop for lunch before visiting Norfolk Lavender, a popular attraction with 100 acres of lavender fields, a lavender oil distillery and shops to pick up the perfect souvenir. Head further north along the coast to Hunstanton, where budding historians can discover the remains of a 1907 fishing boat on a secluded beach, take a picnic along the expansive sandy beach, or test your swing at Hunstanton Golf Club. Lace up your walking boots to trek along the protected area of Norfolk Coast AONB; plenty of wildlife, historic sites such as the ruins of Creake Abbey, and diverse, spectacular landscapes will take your breath away, along with plenty of seaside towns, such as Wells-next-the-Sea, welcoming guests to stop for lunch. Gather your loved ones for a stay in the homely, pet-friendly Job's Cottage.

Snettisham is a classic Norfolk village with plenty of public footpaths to explore. General stores, a Post Office, two inns, a restaurant, and a regular bus service to the bustling, family-friendly seaside town of Hunstanton and ancient King's Lynn are among the village's facilities. The church of St Mary, which stands alone on top of the hill, is well worth a visit, especially to see the intricately detailed tracery flowers on the west window. A wonderful base to explore the delights of Norfolk.

    Absolutely spotless. Great kitchen with absolutely everything we needed and more. So great having 2 bathrooms AND a downstairs toilet. Gorgeous living room, large and so well furnished that we could all relax in their together, even if we were doing different things. Never been a property with so many different books and games - that was brilliant!! The garden was actually larger than expected and a lovely place to sit out...and play badminton. The bedrooms were all large and comfortable. It was perfectly situated in the village on a lovely quiet road with easy walking access to everything. It's a lovely village with lovely cafes, pubs, handy Co-op shop and a great base for exploring this part of Norfolk. It's one of the best cottages we have stayed in (and we've stayed in a lot!!). Highly recommend and a big thank you to the owners. Oh yes, the Welcome pack was lovely too. Thank you.

    Easy access to Hunstanton and the local beaches, nature reserves and Sandringham Estate. The village of Snettisham is bigger than you think, once you get exploring. The church is beautiful as is the surrounding countryside. If you like walking you can set out from the cottage and follow one of the many signposted walks. At the end of a busy day we knew we had a comfortable base to return to. There is plenty of room with a large kitchen and living room. Not to mention 3 toilets, so you never had to queue

  • Susan

    Great location and would definitely recommend this as a great base to explore North Norfolk.
