Guest Reviews

“The whole booking process was very smooth and staff very helpful. Directions to cottage and key pick up were excellant. The cottage itself was wonderful, very well equipped and decorated to a high standard and very clean. The furnishings were of a high quality and everything you could possibly need was there, even a fully decorated Christmas tree!! The only negative I would say is the size of hot water tank not enough for 8 adults to have a shower we had to take turns to go first!! Never the less we had a wonderful Christmas at Thistlewood Cottage and would recommend Norfolk Hideaways to all family and friends. Thank you.”

“We had a fabulous break at Thistlewood Cottage over New Year. The accommodation was great and the christmas tree a lovely touch. There was plenty of room for all the family, and the log fire was so cosy. The cottage was perfectly located for me to enjoy running along the costal path or along the beach with my dog every morning. We enjoyed a super meal at The Ship Inn on New Year's Eve.”

Local Area

Brancaster is known for its simply stunning beach.  It stretches for miles backed by gentle sand dunes and the famous links golf course of The Royal West Norfolk Golf Club.  Seals bask on the creek edges and children can safely paddle in the tidal lagoons.  The tide goes out a long way revealing the shipwreck of the S S Vina (beware of strong tides and do not venture out!) The sand is perfect for sandcastles and picnics. Kite surfers provide exciting entertainment on windy days. Parking is a few yards from the beach and anyone who walks that little bit further will be rewarded with their own private stretch of sand! The Ship public house has recently been reopened under Chris Couborough The Flying Kiwi Chef to great reviews. Traditional icecream and lollies can be had from the booth on the beach! Wildlife along the coast is abundant and accessible, Marsh Harriers wheel overhead along with Avocets, Oyster Catchers and Terns. A trip would not be complete without tasting the famous mussels, in season when there is an 'R' in the month.
