GUEST COMMENTS

Christmas

We had a lovely stay thank you and enjoyed walks to the beach and gorgeous meal at The Ship - a bit indulgent on Christmas Eve! The property worked very well for all of us and our dog and allowed my sister some privacy when she wanted it.

The location is wonderful and the property very well catered for. It had everything we needed

Just to say that we had a wonderful new year break at Little

* Closest house to Brancaster beach

* Walk to beach along Norfolk Coastal footpath

* Coastal path outside front door!

* Walk to The Ship and village.

* Private parking for several vehicles

* BBQ

* Small covered wagon to pull the tots (and their

kit) to the beach!!!

Location, Location, Location!

Little Saltings in Brancaster was built by a former Director General of the Ordnance Survey who knew what he was doing! Sitting within a 10 acre site in an AONB, with the Norfolk Coastal path passing through it, enjoys panoramic views to RSPB Titchwell to the West and the sea to the North.

His objective was to provide a cosy retreat which optimised the surrounding natural beauties. He succeeded and we have built upon this and lovingly refurbished Little Saltings.

At the end of a secluded private lane with a farm track to the marshes beyond. Out of the house, turn right along the footpath and then on the bank above the marshes and you are soon at the beach! In summer, lie back on the steamer chairs and enjoy the fantastic stellar views with zero light pollution!

In the other direction, it's a 5 minute walk to Chris Coubrough's gourmet restaurant at The Ship.

It is an idyll of nature - geese and harriers overhead, finches, long tailed tits, dunnocks, thrushes, jays, woodpeckers and rarer in the garden where bird feeders abound.
