Nestled within a row of quaint cottages and close to the sandy dunes and beaches of South Beach, this gorgeous dog-friendly retreat can be enjoyed year-round with loved ones as well as your four-legged friends as Blackberry Cottage welcomes up to two dogs.

Blending traditional Norfolk character with modern comforts and boasting two parking spaces, this beautifully presented terraced cottage with original Carrstone façade welcomes up to six guests across three bedrooms. An added feature of this beautiful residence is a private annexe, located within the cottage garden; a studio bedroom, with the option of a super-king double or twin beds, along with a private shower-room, accommodates a further two guests. This versatile and beautifully presented escape is superbly suited to multi-generational families or friends.

As you enter the front porch kick off your shoes and relax into the comfy sofas in the cosy sitting-room with its wood-burning stove and cast iron Victorian-style radiator. The dining-area with large dining-table and decorative fireplace sits beyond the sitting-room and is the perfect place for entertaining or family gatherings. The chef in the party will love cooking up a fabulous feast with local ingredients in the adjacent, extremely well-equipped and generously-sized cottage kitchen.

Climb the stairs from the sitting-room to the spacious first floor where you'll find three bedrooms which share a family bathroom. The principal room boasts a king-size bed with ample space for your holiday apparel and enjoys an easterly aspect. Two further double bedrooms are located across from the king room, and for those who seek a quiet area to work remotely, one of these has a super little desk space. Countryside views from the bedroom windows with seasonal wildlife and changing skies are the perfect backdrop to your Norfolk holiday.

From the kitchen explore the cottage garden with its varied seating-areas; perfect for barbecues and social gatherings. A few short steps take you to the beautifully appointed modern annexe, Garden Retreat, providing a spacious light-filled bedroom with sofa, Smart TV and tea and coffee making facilities. This is an ideal space for grandparents with its super-king 'zip and link' bed which can also be configured as twins, if preferred. A modern shower-room completes this private retreat making it ideal for those members of the party that might want to enjoy a little extra space and independence, whilst still being part of this fabulous holiday experience (children under the age of 16 may not sleep in the annexe unless accompanied by an adult).

The tranquil setting of Blackberry Cottage offers a wonderful sense of space and privacy, yet is within easy reach of Heacham's shops, cafes, pubs and beaches on this superb west facing coastline.

Listen out for the 'clip clop' of hooves on the unadopted lane as horses return from their beach hack less than a mile away at South Beach. There are plenty of stunning walks from your door, follow the lane and discover the pathways to the far end of South Beach, passing by the dunes, adorned with colourful beach huts, and enjoy a spectacular end to the day in awe of the stunning sunsets, where the sky meets the sea.

On the outskirts of Heacham itself is the popular shopping experience of Norfolk Lavender, with its farm shop, butchers and bakery, tea rooms and restaurant. The whole family can enjoy a scented stroll amongst the lavender or sample the outdoor pizza parlour whilst youngsters run off excess energy in the play area.

The Royal Norfolk residence of Sandringham House is a short drive from the cottage, where locals and visitors flock to enjoy the house and gardens and events such as the popular flower show, as well as outdoor concerts, featuring some amazing bands from across the decades.

The Victorian seaside town of Hunstanton has plenty to occupy visitors of all ages with a classic seaside promenade, Sea Life Centre, penny arcades, fish and chips and ice cream stalls. Families will love rock pooling and fossil hunting together at low tide, then enjoy a mooch around the shops and a bite to eat, as the town boasts a variety of independent shops, cafes and tea rooms.

Hunstanton is a popular destination for water sport enthusiasts with kite and windsurfing as well as paddleboarding being a popular past-time. Equipment hire and lessons are available from beach front operators with trained instructors on hand so why not give it a try! Discover the many RSPB reserves close by at Holme-next-the-Sea and Snettisham. A spectacular sight can often be observed when tens of thousands of wading birds gather on the mudflats, then watch as the birds take to the air, shimmering and whirling above the mudflats in a feathered cacophony, referred to locally as the 'Snettisham Spectacular', a must see for many who visit the area.
