Introduction

Tranquil with a quirky edge, light-filled, and thoughtfully styled Birch Trees invites you to unwind and savour the very best of Norfolk’s coastal charm.

You’ll find it hard to wander far from this luxury retreat. But when you do wander, you’ll discover a world of sandy beaches, award winning eateries, historical homes to explore and endless adventures to be had. And then when you get back to base at the end of another day of escapades, there’s cosy corners for quiet moments, long soaks waiting in the free-standing baths, before movies and munchies in the snug and epic kitchen dancing with all the gang together.

Inside

Head through the front door into a spacious, light-filled hallway before kicking off your shoes in the boot room and gathering in the open plan kitchen, dining and lounge. Upstairs you’ll find four fabulous hotel worthy bedrooms and bathrooms, perfect for both long lay-ins and early nights.

Whatever the season Birch Trees is the antidote to busy lives, a chance to pack your bags for quality time with friends and family. In summer slide open the vast French doors, pop open the bubbles from your welcome hamper and let the salty sea breeze envelope your lazy afternoon. Glasses click as the kids play hide and seek beneath Norfolk’s famous big skies before firing up the BBQ for your evening supper on the terrace. Winter is just as special, we’re talking uno and nightcaps by the roaring wood burner, cosy film nights in the snug and laughter filled dinner parties around the kitchen table, the sound of the rain your soundtrack to life by the sea.

Outside

To the back of the house you’ll find a sun-soaked garden with just the right balance of terrace and lush grass - fully enclosed for all the family including your four-legged friends. Rinse sandy toes and muddy paws under the outdoor hot and cold shower after a day on the beach.

At the front of the property there’s private off-road parking for up to five cars.

Quick guide to your location

The villages of Brancaster and Brancaster Staithe are in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the north Norfolk coast. With a glorious beach and thriving fishing and sailing communities, Brancaster is perfect for a coastal holiday. Brancaster sits on the Norfolk Coast Path and is made up of two villages, Brancaster Staithe and Brancaster.

Brancaster beach is one of Norfolk’s glorious beaches, with miles of unspoilt golden sand, as far as the eye can see, and has the added advantage of being incredibly child friendly and dog friendly too. There are plenty of pubs in and around Brancaster so you'll never be short of somewhere to visit after your day at the beach.

A key destination for any visit to the North Norfolk coast, the Brancasters offer a wide range of activities and opportunities for all ages. Both villages have been formed around the ‘coast road’ (A149) and can easily be explored by walking the pathways that link the two together. You will find excellent places to eat, offering locally caught produce from the harbour at Brancaster Staithe.
