Where Are We?

Snettisham is a most attractive village on the shores of the Wash, comprising a pleasant blend of old and pretty carrstone cottages and newer homes. It has its own beach from which you can sail, windsurf or swim.

 

The cottage is located in the centre of Snettisham in close proximity to the village shops, pubs, restaurants, playing fields and Church. In the village there’s a good choice of local shops and pubs that serve excellent food. One of the notable pubs is the Rose and Crown, which has won many awards including the prestigious “British Pub of the Year 2015”. Also in Snettisham is The Old Bank Restaurant which won the Good Food Guide Best Local Restaurant in the UK 2019. Snettisham offers something for everyone, no matter your age, no matter the weather. It is handily placed for the larger traditional holiday resort of Hunstanton to the North and the old town of King’s Lynn to the South.

 

Also close are the famous sandy beaches at Brancaster, Holme next the Sea, and Thornham. Other attractions nearby include the Royal Estate of Sandringham surrounded by numerous picture postcard carrstone cottage villages. Norfolk Lavender at Heacham, bird watching at the nearby RSPB Reserves of Snettisham and Titchwell where visitors are always welcome and Thetford Forest with its fabulous walks and wildlife. Snettisham is a perfect location for discovering both historic West Norfolk and the beautiful North Norfolk Coast with its beaches, golf courses, walks, bird watching, sailing, etc.

 

For the shoppers Burnham Market offers high quality shopping in a Georgian setting while Swaffham boasts its attractive triangular market place which on Saturdays hosts its famous open-air market and public auction.

 

From Snettisham it is an easy drive to the visitor attractions in the neighbouring counties, Ely, Cambridge, Newmarket and the Duxford Imperial War Museum with its unique aircraft collection and the Thursford Spectacular to name but a few.

  • We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in your lovely cottage. Everything went according to plan - even the weather was more than kind to us. It just went too quick. Hope to rent your cottage sometime again in the not too far future.

  • Once again another very good week at the Cottage. Got in to look at the Church this time (key held at Post Office). Enjoyed home cooked meal at the Queen Victoria. 
P.S. Couldn’t find a dictionary! Note From Bernard:
 We challenge guests to identify any deficiencies in the cottage inventory as we believe we have equipped it as a home and not as a holiday let. There is a dictionary there now & a Thesaurus!

There is so much to do within a 20–30 minute drive. You are perfectly placed to experience all that Norfolk has to offer. We will be returning next year to make more memories xxx.

  • We had a lovely relaxing week at your cottage. The peaceful surroundings made it seem like we were stepping back in time, especially the Steam Train trip and the restored Railway Station which we all thoroughly enjoyed. The cottage is a “Tardis”, we had no idea it was so large, it seems to go on and on!

Thank you for helping us to join the sailing club.

  • Another very enjoyable stay, this time with lots of sunshine and only the odd shower. We re-visited all our old haunts – old Hunstanton, Holkham House and Sands, the lavender at Heacham – and also discovered Bircham Windmill, a great place for children and cake and fresh bread lovers! Nearby the farm shop at Great Bircham is under new management and sells good local produce. We hope to return next year.
