Staying at
York Cottage

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 also 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.

We had a wonderful , faultless stay at York Cottage. The house was perfect for our needs and very well furnished and equipped. The garden was a perfect safe space for the dogs, with very adequate parking ( I expect the road gets full in the summer ).Wonderful communal kitchen /living area combined with quiet sitting and TV rooms. The bedrooms were perfect for our family and it was wonderful having so many bathrooms ! The house was beautifully clean, the grass was cut and your service was faultless We know the area well , after many years of holidays , but this really was a perfect location, within walking distance of the superb beach and local pubs. I am sure we will return best wishes Sarah
