Cosy 17th century 1 bed cottage, perfect for couples and furry companions.

WE ARE NOW OPEN TO BOOKINGS. Following extensive restoration and enhancement works which began last October we are very excited to say we are now open. Vine Cottage now has a new kitchen, bathroom with bath and shower, new conservation windows and new conservatory. The grounds have been re-landscaped with a communcal space with gazebo and BBQ area and had a total refit throughout. We have also added a hot and cold doggy shower for our furry guests.

As Vine Cottage is over 300 years old we have unearthed some lovely original features which have been preserved and enhanced for our guests to enjoy.

Vine Cottage is a spacious charming (Grade II listed) 17th century brick and flint cottage with 1 large bedroom with King -size bed and TV with Freeview, bathroom with bath and shower, kitchen with electric oven, microwave, AirFryer and a cosy sitting room with dining area, SmartHDTV, a utility room housing the washing machine and fridge freezer and a sunny conservatory and free Wifi.

The cottage has retained that "home from home" feeling with traditional charm with its own private enclosed garden and off road allocated parking with access to a communal garden area with BBQ area and gazebo.

Located in the sleepy village of GREAT SNORING, with the village church next door it is just 6 miles from Wells-Next-the-Sea the fabulous North Norfolk Coast and close to many local attractions and charming villages. Places such as Holt, Holkham Estate, Royal Sandringham, Houghton Hall, Bickling Estate, Burnham Market, the NT wildlife reserve at Blakeney, Brancaster for the seals, historial Walsingham, Sheringham and Cromer are all within easy reach from the cottage.

We are also dog friendly with plenty of dog walks just round the corner including the Walsingham Way which leads into the historic village of Little Walsingham and plentiful dog friendly beaches nearby.

There are an array of beautiful walks, both coastal and inland with the North Norfolk Coastal path stretching all along from Old Hanstanton to Cromer, plenty of golf courses, fishing, sea fishing, bird watching, nature reserves, a racecourse and some superb restaurants / pubs and many shopping opportunities including some amazing artisan shops with locally sourced produce.

North Norfolk just love their dogs and most are welcome in lots of pubs, restaurants and shops too. Most of the beaches along the coastline are dog friendly too.

A quirky, charming and dog friendly cosy cottage in a quiet location ideal for a relaxing break but does have WiFi included and a Smart HD TV with streaming service available.
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be close to The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. The cottage offers free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • The cottage offers a kitchen, a washing machine, and a fireplace

  • Just a 2-minute drive from The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham and 5 minutes from Holkham National Nature Reserve

Lovely cosy property in a very pretty village. Great location near to beautiful beaches and nature reserves. Dogs had a great time as well and the enclosed garden was perfect for them. Excellent communication from the friendly owners , we had no problems during our stay but I’m very confident any concerns would have been dealt with immediately. Thank you !

Charming rural retreat with good facilities
We had a lovely time at Vine Cottage. The listed cottage is pretty and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and the private garden is an asset, especially for dogs. The communal parking area is well organised with picnic benches and a washing line. Karen is an excellent host who goes out of her way to make sure her guests are happy.

A lovely stay
A delightful cottage. The host welcomed us with fresh flowers, wine, biscuits and treats for the dogs which was very much appreciated. The cottage was well presented and Karen had gone to a great deal of trouble to supply us with local information, things to do, where to go, all the dog friendly beaches and walks. She was on hand should any problem arise and was extremely helpful making sure we were settled in. If planning a visit to Norfolk I'd highly recommend a stay here. It was lovely.

LOVELY COTTAGE
Lovely cottage with all the equipment we needed and a very comfortable bed. Own parking space. Nice conservatory which is a bonus to watch the evening sun when the day is chilly. Within easy reach of the north Norfolk coast and all at a very reasonable price with a discount for booking a whole week. Hope to be back.

Great location. Some issues.
The cottage is well fitted out and generally attractive. There is no log burner but an unattractive and very noisy electric simulation. The water in all taps is way too hot - v v easy to burn one’s self. It is not possible to have a shower - only a bath - and the mixer tap is ineffective so either boiling or freezing water. The heating should come on at 4pm not 5pm. The house is cold at the end of the afternoon. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.
