The cottage is located on the village green with a popular café just a stone’s throw away, you are also just over 0.5 miles from the sandy beach and a short stroll to the pub, shops, takeaways, and restaurants. The popular resort of Cromer with its vast beaches is just 3 miles away, where you can also catch regular shows at The Pavilion Theatre uniquely located at the end of the pier. For keen walkers, the Norfolk Coast Path is close by, offering an array of picturesque walks and access to neighbouring seaside towns and villages.

As you enter this cosy and charming cottage you arrive in the lounge area which is a great place to relax and unwind after some long coastal walks. Here you have a comfortable three-seater sofa and an armchair which surround a wood burner and a TV/DVD player. Following through from the lounge leads you to a perfect place to dine with loved ones. The dining room has seating for up to four guests and from there you have the well-quipped kitchen area which boasts everything the chef of the group needs to rustle up a quick snack or a hearty meal with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher and if you need to rinse the sand from your towels, then there is a utility room with a combi washer/dryer and a separate WC. Upstairs you have a super-king bedroom with plenty of storage space for your clothes and also a double bedroom with storage space and both bedrooms share a family bathroom with shower over the bath and WC.

There is an enclosed lawned garden area to the front of the property and a south facing enclosed garden and patio area to the rear with a table, chairs, and a charcoal BBQ for those who wish to dine al-fresco. There is unallocated on-street parking to the front of the cottage and close by.

Cosy & homely cottage, perfect for our requirements for a short break. Good location between Sheringham & Cromer. Good size bedrooms, front bedroom is massive. Both rooms have comfortable beds & a good nights sleep guaranteed. Bathroom's large & the over the powerful shower is great. We didnt use the kitchen appliances, but everything was there, ifRead more needed. Would definitely recommend this cosy cottage Hide

The cottage has a retro appearance, inside anyway. Although the cottage was clean & tidy , it seemed a bit dated , & smaller than similarly priced cottages that we have stayed in recently.

Was a good job the shop was across the road. The lack of Parking is an issue at this property.we were worried every time we returned if there was going to be a space. The upstairs of the house was excellent but outside needs a good tidy up and get rid of the weeds.

This is a lovely and well-equipped cottage in a fab location. The shop is a 1 min walk away and the beach is only a 10-15 walk or 5 min car journey away. The log fire is a nice addition to the cottage and the layout is really functional. The shower is great and the beds are brilliant!! There is no wifi but you can sign up to a BT hotspot which workRead mores well. The parking is on the road and may not be directly outside the house but we always managed to get a space. Hide

We thoroughly enjoyed our second visit at Bluebird Cottage. It does feel like home from home for us. The beds a very comfortable and everything has been thought about throughout. The kitchen has everything we consider important as we like to eat out but we also like to cook as well. We are very grateful for the high standard of cleanliness too.

Bluebird Cottage is a lovely place and has very good equipment and quality furnishings in each room. Whilst it is situated in a nice spot the down side is not having a designated car space which can be problematic in finding somewhere else to park.

This is our second year in Bluebird Cottage. We find the location to be very good for walking and the buses are excellent. Though the cottage is on the main road it is very quiet and at the rear is a lovely peaceful garden. We had everything we needed there for our holiday.
