About this cottage rental

POPPY COTTAGE is a newly-renovated terraced flint cottage with one double bedroom and one twin bedroom. There is a well-equipped kitchen, shower room, cosy front-room and porch/sunroom. Character features include an old water pump outside and Victorian stove (unused!). The lovely courtyard garden is secure and comes complete with an old apple tree. Bikes can be stored in a secure shed. Bedding and towels are provided, and there is Wifi. For children, there is a high chair, travel cot, toys and buckets/spades. Children will love the steam-powered Wells to Walsingham Light Railway! A short stroll through the peaceful village and across a ford will lead to Great Walsingham Barns (art centre and tearoom). On the way, you can see historic Berry Hall, where Henry VIII is said to have first met Anne Boleyn. Little Walsingham is within walking distance, where the shrines and abbey are located. There is also a farm shop, very good pubs and tearooms. Further afield, Wells-next-the-Sea is 10 minutes drive away (traditional seaside town with supermarket and petrol station) and Holkham Beach is nearby. This stunning beach has pine forests, sand dunes and is popular with bird watchers. There are many family attractions within driving distance (search for North Norfolk tourism online). Poppy Cottage is a lovely place for a break from the fast pace of life as it's so peaceful, but conveniently located. Please note this is an old Victorian farmworkers' cottage, and as such, the stairs are a quite steep. This is a dog-free property and so may be of interest to allergy sufferers.

Excellent cottage, quiet village

Lovely, cosy cottage in an idyllic tranquil location. Well equipped and comfortable, it was the perfect base for exploring Norfolk coast and countryside. Wells by the sea is a short drive away and Sherringham and Cromer are also within easy reach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

My son and I enjoyed a long weekend here in May. The cottage is very clean, comfortable and well equipped with a nice little sunny garden. We had a great weekend, but we are both tall and had to watch our heads in places and I at 70 found the stairs a challenge.

Great little cottage stay.Stayed as a family with a 3 and 6 year old and they loved all the games and book provided!Also there was a bed guard which was great!(Also saw a travel cot, spare single mattress and highchair - so really well set up for kids!The stairs are steep but this is mentioned in the listing (our trick was to keep the bathroom door fully open at night and it kept the stairs blocked for any child night time wakes ups and wandering lol)Recommend the light railway to Wells, walkable from the house! Thanks for having us!

Thanks. Really enjoyed our stay here. It is very quiet but not far from Wells and many other places of interest. It is great that you can easily walk into the village and to the coffee shop at Great Walsingham barns. World highly recommend

We enjoyed our stay. Cottage was well provisioned and located. Stone walls kept us cool in the heat and but low ceilings caught me out a few times! There was plenty of hot water when needed. A great base for exploring from.

Throughly enjoyed our stay at Poppy Cottage. The cottage was warm and cosy and well kitted out with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Even had a little robin to greet us every morning! The countryside around is beautiful and I took advantage of this by taking lots of walks around Great and Little Walsingham. So near to the coast too. I certainly will be booking this cottage again. Thank you to the owners!

My wife and I stayed at the cottage with our 8 week old son and we had an absolutely wonderful stay. The cottage is very well equipped, clean and very homely and cosy. We were very comfortable here and the travel cot was certainly ideal for our baby. Chloe was very helpful and easy to contact. The joys of the North Norfolk coast are a short drive away and beautiful and historic Little Walsingham is a short walk away. This cottage helped to give us a special memory of our first holiday with our baby :)

Poppy Cottage had everything we needed for our short stay. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, crockery etc. the location was ideal for exploring North Norfolk and it was lovely to wake to the sound of birdsong and no traffic noise!

Lovely cottage. Very clean and well equipped. Beds and sofas very comfortable. The stairs are very steep do it was a little concerning with regards to the 3 year old falling down them when she woke first in the morning but the bathroom door actually opens perfectly onto the stairs and wedged nicely with a door wedge so served as a door to keep her safe. Really good size porch at the back of the house which was great for changing out of sandy shoes and storing cases etc. The owners provide a lovely collection of young childrens reading books, dvds and a really good collection of games, toys and puzzles so you can limit the amount you take with you (we didn't). The kite was a big hit. Our 5 year old proudly flew it on the beach. Village not really close to any beach but some lovely sandy beaches within 20 to 30 minutes in the car. A lovely stay all round.

10.0 / 10.0

A lovely property, clean, comfortable and all you need for a peaceful stay away from home. Lovely to have an outside area to sit with a morning coffee or evening drink. Communication with/from owner was excellent. Only slight drawback - which can't be helped in the rural location - is narrow road with no pavement walk into Walsingham centre, so take your wine/gin with you for the evening 😄

This property was in a wonderful location for our purposes, namely, to do a short pilgrimage to Our Lady of Walsingham. We walked nearly everywhere except for a couple of dinners which weren't within easy walking distance. The home was quaint, very clean, and comfortable. The host gave good recommendations for touring locally, which we appreciated. This was our first time in the English countryside and it was absolutely stunning, plus the local folks we met were all very friendly. We would stay here again!

Everything was really nice. One thing perhaps a warning as to how steep the stairs are. The lower hand rail section is a bit loose just needs the screws tightened up. Very well equipped and decorated. Area handy for inland and coastal exploring.

10.0 / 10.0

The cottage is situated in a lovely spot, suoer quiet and yet within a short distance to skme beautiful local sights, Walsingham Abbey being a main draw, and the little tea rooms next to it. The property was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The hosts were great at communication and we look forward to our next stay.

Lovely cottage in a quiet area. Plenty to do within easy reach Past review said stairs were steep but my wife has had two hip replacements managed OK. No problems. Tea room and bookshop by the pump in Walsingham worth a visit

A lovely 3 night stay in a clean, well appointed cottage. We arrived after dark and the images and map sent to us beforehand helped us find it. There was a light on and heating was on so it felt very welcoming. Well located to explore North Norfolk and good recommendations from the hosts. Thank you

What a gem! A lovely cosy cottage wonderfully located giving the option of so many places to visit whatever the time of year. Fully equipped for eating in with the option of visiting The Black Lion which serves delicious food. This cottage really felt like home from home, very comfortable for 4 adults. The village was really interesting with so many different churches and places of interest to visit. Wells next the Sea is a very short drive away - we spent a lovely morning walking along the glorious beach on New Year's Day. Have already recommended it to family.

We both loved Poppy Cottage and the surrounding area. It was a brilliant base for National Trust properties and the North Norfolk Railway which we enjoyed. Will definitely be back to the area.

My family and I loved staying here. Well maintained throughout, this pretty cottage provided us with sufficient living space, cosy bedrooms, a well equipped kitchen, an upstairs bathroom and a great location to explore the north Norfolk coast. If we’d had one wish, it would have been for parking outside the cottage and indeed less steep stairs, but this is in the description and my 83yr old mum did get up and down the stairs without much bother! We were a little wary of parking on the green just down the road, as at this time of year you could have easily got stuck with wheels spinning, so careful parking is advised!! Great stay, with everything you could possibly need however - thank you!
