Sloe Cottage

Ringstead • Sleeps 4 • Dogs welcome

Sloe Cottage is a traditional country cottage that fits perfectly amongst its rural surroundings in the quintessential Norfolk village of Ringstead. Ideally placed for short drives to the coast with the popular beaches of Old Hunstanton and Holme-next-the-Sea only a couple of miles away or peaceful walks on the Ringstead Downs. The village also offers great dining and drinking at the historic Gin Trap public house with the added bonus of a traditional village store.

'A lovely cosy cottage. Visited all our favourite beaches, Wells, Holkham, a special trip to Horsey Gap to see the seals, well worth it. Visited The Gin Trap a couple of times, great for a few drinks and a meal very dog friendly. Do not miss Deli in Thornham, great for breakfast, lunches. Thank you Barefoot Retreats for everything.'

Getting to Sloe Cottage

Guest book for Sloe Cottage

'1st visit here - Sloe Cottage and North Norfolk exceeded our expectations! Lovely accommodation - most meals enjoyed around the sunny table at the top of the garden. Nellie, the dog loved her stay too! Explored the pretty villages of Holt and Burnham Market and basked on Brancaster beach! Great food at No 29 and The Orange Tree as well as daily trips to the village store and a successful foray to the nursery nearby. Would love to return!'

June 2021

'We had a very special week (helped by wall to wall sunshine!) at Sloe Cottage. Loved the village especially The Gin Trap Inn which re-opened on Monday and the very friendly village store. The kids also loved the new adventure playground at Sandringham and the dog loved the local walks, especially the footpath over the fields at the corner of the road. We all loved your beautiful cottage. Thank you.'

June 2021

'The cottage is lovely with everything you could think of to use, its here! It is so peaceful. The beds are comfortable so you really get a good nights sleep. The garden has the two seating areas, so breakfast can be had outside and then later on a great place to sit in the sun at the back of the garden. The village store is very useful and easy to walk to and stocks most things. The weather has been mixed but the cottage is lovely and warm. Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautiful cottage!'

May 2021

'1st week away this year, after 3rd lockdown. Fantastic, well equipped cottage - one that we'll compare all future cottages with. Cold and windy, which was a shame as it was too cold most days to sit out in the local pubs. Did manage a gin at The Gin Trap. Love Norfolk is so dog friendly, taking home very tired dogs!!'

April 2021

'So lucky to have had this week before the 2nd lockdown. Lovely, well equipped cottage. Great beach walks and wonderful food as ever.'

November 2020

'Sloe Cottage was a lovely place to stay for the week. We had a great time exploring the local beaches. The dogs loved to run around on the beaches. We hope to visit again soon.'

October 2020

'We have had a wonderful Autumnal break here. Sloe Cottage is perfect. We have felt very safe here, the cottage is spotlessly clean and there are lots of good takeaway options from local restaurants (particularly recommend Jolly Sailors and boozy hot choc at The White Horse). We will be very sad to leave tomorrow!'

October 2020

'We've had a wonderful break in this excellent cottage. Thank you so much! Lovely welcome pack, cosy, comfortable rooms and beds and warm all the time. The log fire added to this on a very frosty night - it was great! All mod cons and there was nothing lacking at all (even a light left on for our arrival, which was so thoughtful!). Beautiful, cold, sunny days made walks on the gorgeous beaches of Brancaster and Holkham a real delight with our Border Terrier. Excellent meals at Eric's and The King William in Sedgeford. We even saw Charles and Camilla leaving church in Sandringham! An excellent break! We shall return!'
