This laidback single-storey semi-detached coastal retreat is perfect for those wanting a quiet seaside escape to tuck themselves away from the outside world. With luxury touches throughout and beautifully simple and stylish natural interiors that echo the local landscape, this little abode is in easy walking distance of the harbour and a short paddle, walk or boat ride to the beach or beautiful Scolt Head Island.

Charming Burnham Overy Staithe is a hive of activity. Crabbing, boat launching, boat hire, paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming and walking can all be enjoyed here. Even during the winter months, walkers, cold water swimmers, bird watchers and hard-core sailors all congregate here. There really is nowhere quite like Burnham Overy Staithe. The causeway path is a rewarding walk through the marshes, over the dunes and then onto a vast open sand where you can easily find solitude, even in summer. Carry on east to Holkham beach and Wells-next-the-Sea, if you’re feeling energetic. Alternatively, head west past the impressive windmill, and through the marshes where thousands of birds feed and gather throughout the year. Drop into a pub to refuel, then return by Coasthopper bus, to make a great day out. Catch the ferry to the eastern end of Scolt Head Island - a magical location for a family picnic or game of cricket. Walk across the marshes at low tide and explore the nature reserve with nesting birds and rare wild plants. The Hero at Burnham Overy Staithe is just the place to refresh after a hearty walk or sail, with a good choice of local ales and ingredients to suit everyone. Neighbouring Burnham Deepdale hosts a parade of lifestyle shops and local craft shops, plus a cafe and petrol station. At nearby Titchwell only a five-minute drive, or longer walk away, is the RSPB Nature Reserve. A little further is Thornham, home to a fabulous beach, The Drove Orchards farm shop, and famous fish 'n' chip shop, Eric's. The Thornham Deli serves great breakfasts and meals throughout the day, and the lifestyle and homeware store is worth perusing. Nearby in Brancaster, the The Jolly Sailors welcomes muddy boots. For more formal dining book a table in advance at The White Horse which boasts spectacular view of the marshes from its conservatory and terrace. Enjoy local seafood whilst watching the tide come in over the creeks as the sky dramatically changes colour. If you're keen...
