Update 20 January: Welcome to beautiful Norfolk!

Carpenters Cottage

A pretty rural cottage in lovely Wighton

Carpenters Cottage is a beautiful grade two listed cottage, recently renovated which sleeps two (plus baby) 

Carpenters Cottage is a favourite with our dog loving guests as it has a large fenced garden. It also has its own private parking space at the rear of the property. The very popular Carpenters Arms pub is next door.

dog-friendly

Carpenters Cottage is in a lovely position in Wighton as it is next to the Carpenters Arms pub which serves locally sourced food and drinks. After a long day at the beach, it is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a coffee or a pint of Woodfordes Wherry. It is dog friendly. There are lots of beautiful walks and cycle tracks in the area.

The cottage has a large fenced sunny garden. The outlook at the back of the cottage is towards fenced paddocks and the church beyond. A herd of cows graze here (of Temples cheeses fame certainly worth trying!) and an owl can often be seen hunting at dusk.

There is a bike hire company in the village (On Yer Bike) where you can hire bikes to explore the area beyond. Wells next the Sea is a 5 minute drive away and has a very beautiful beach. The beach is huge and sandy where you can walk for miles. Pine woods and the iconic painted beach huts line the beach. There is a great cafe here where you can rest for coffee and lunch, in the summer it has Friday night barbecues. Wells has lots going on, including festivals, triathlons and the fantastic Wells carnival at the beginning of August.

Holkham Hall is a short drive away, an impressive stately home well worth a visit. Seal trips are a very popular from Morston Quay and there are fantastic bird reserves at Cley Marshes and Titchwell. North Norfolk boasts a fantastic array of pubs and restaurants including Wiveton Cafe (Of ‘Normal For Norfolk’ fame), Morston Hall, The Anchor also at Morston, The Crown and Wells Crab House both in Wells (a few of our favourites!).

The cottage has it’s own gated parking space at the rear of the property.

Hot tub hire is available. We use a hot tub company to deliver, fill and heat your tub which sits on the patio outside the cottage.

Cottage Layout

Downstairs, there is a cosy sitting room with wood burning stove and a kitchen with room enough to sit and eat in.

Other lovely places to stay

Grey Goose Cottage

Cosy fisherman's cottage, sleeps 3 close to Wells harbour.

Grey Seal Cottage

Charming sunny cottage, sleeps 4, large garden and off road parking in Wells

The Boat House

Picturesque retreat in the Norfolk Broads, sleeps 2 with hot tub and views of the Broad.

Wow! A charming, high quality and very special place to stay. The attention to detail and cleanliness are exceptional. So many little touches that were very much appreciated. Lovely views of Ranworth Broad to the front, and to the Church and Alpacas to the rear; and what a treat the Alpacas are to watch from the hot tub… Our only disappointment was that we did not book more nights! Thank you Jane, so much.
