Property code: OC-1997

The cottage is set in an ideal spot in the heart of the picturesque seaside village of Mundesley, just 500 metres or so from the edge of the beautiful long sandy beach. Close by you will find a range of great places to eat and drink, including a fine gastropub. Featuring a lovely cliff-top promenade and idyllic gardens, Mundesley is a delightful little resort with beach huts lining the seafront and is home to one of the smallest maritime museums in the UK. Exploring this gorgeous part of Norfolk further, local attractions include Amazona Zoo in the nearby resort of Cromer, Wizard Maze and Play, Felbrigg Hall, Gardens and Estate, Blickling Hall and Gunton Park Sawmill (all within 13 miles).

Entering the property via the gated entrance which leads to the porch, you will find yourself in the fresh and airy open-plan lounge/diner which provides the tranquil centre of this delightful retreat. With plenty of seating, a Smart TV, DVD, Blu-ray, Alexa Echo and a choice of books and games, the lounge makes a great space to snuggle up in front of the open fire, watch a movie, chat about the day or watch the world go by from the pretty window seat. In the evenings, the central dining table provides an ideal spot for getting together to enjoy all your favourite family meals. Heading through the archway and down a couple of steps to the stylish kitchen, you will find an electric range oven with electric hob, a fridge and a Butler sink, alongside a breakfast bar where you can grab a quick snack. Further equipment, including a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and microwave, can be found in the utility area. The ground floor also has a separate WC. When it’s time to retire, head upstairs to the first floor which houses the first two of the property’s four warm and cosy king-size bedrooms, one of which has a small sofa. There’s also a bright and refreshing bathroom on this floor, complete with a freestanding roll-top bath, hand held shower and a WC, along with a separate shower room with a shower cubicle and WC. The final two bedrooms are on the second floor, one with a handy single truckle bed which you can request when booking. Please note several of these rooms have low sloping ceilings.

Outside, the back garden is enclosed and provides a lovely spot for you all to unwind at the end of a fabulous day. With a mixture of shingle and paving, this delightful space features plenty of outdoor furniture so you can sit back with a BBQ and watch as the younger members of your group play pirates on the old rowing boat. Designated parking is available for three cars.

The photos of the cottage are misleading - they must have been taken some years ago when the property was newly renovated. The current state of the property is much more run down, especially the garden. There are many areas that have not been maintained. There was a dangerous broken floor tile with sharp shards in the kitchen which needed covering Read morewith a floor mat to make safe. The property has maintenance and safety issues in quite a few places. The owners should rectify all the current issues and shabby areas, especially the garden, which was unusable because of broken and rusty furniture, etc - not inviting at all.. Apart from the above issues we enjoyed the location and closeness to Mundesley and the beach and had a very good holiday in the area. Hide

JUST PERFECT!!! We celebrated news years eve at poppy cottage and shared the house with our friends and their children for the week. We found the house to be the perfect size for 4 adults, 3 kids and 2 dogs with room to spare. The house was well stocked with pots and pans etc. The location was great for short walks the local pubs and the beach Read moreis only a 5 minute walk away. Easy driving to Cromer, Holt & Sherringham so exploring the east coast is very accessible. If you are staying in, the house is well stocked with board games to play and the open fire just adds to the cosy home feeling in the winter months. The bedrooms are large and the beds are very comfy, the house has 2 bathrooms with a shower in one and a roll top bath in the other, we didn't struggle with only one shower and everyone used it each morning. Nothing negative to say, everything in the house was great and we would not hesitate to return. Hide

A lovely, spacious house with 4 big bedrooms, each with a king-size bed which was great for the 8 adults in our group. Lots of room in the lounge for my grandson to crawl round and explore and a big dining table that we were all able to sit round in the evening.

The house is very well equipped with the expected mod cons. The seating and beds were very comfortable. There were childrens games and books as well as lots of dvds. The wetsuits for the children were a great extra, thank you ! The sandy beach is only a few minutes away via a childrens playground which was great fun as well.

The Poppy House was fantastic. A great location but quite, the kids liked being able to go through the back gate with the dog for a walk on the nearby dog friendly beach. Games and books were really great too as was the garden space. We had a lovely BBQ one evening. I couldn't recommend it more. Would definitely consider a return.

We have stayed in many houses both abroad & in the UK but we can safely say this is the best so far. An amazing home from home. The house had everything we needed from toys to wet suits & indoor & outdoor games. The location was perfect with lots of local amenities in walking distance. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

We stayed at Poppy House with family, including young grandchildren, for a week in March 2025.

This was a great home from home. In a fantastic location. Generous rooms with great facilities. Rare to rent a home with 4 double bedrooms all with king-size beds. Perfect for an adult family getaway. Local area has lots to do, even off season. Lots of walks and great local quirky shops (recommend the grocer in the village).
