Grooms Cottage (Brancaster)

Brancaster, Norfolk

Located in the picturesque coastal village of Brancaster, Norfolk, Grooms Cottage is a beautifully styled semi-detached cottage that offers a charming retreat for up to six guests. Originally serving as the stables for St Mary’s Church and the rectory, this delightful property is nestled within enchanting private gardens, providing a peaceful atmosphere just a ten-minute stroll from the beach. The cottage's location makes it an ideal base for exploring the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, known for its stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife.

The layout of Grooms Cottage is practical and family-friendly, with all bedrooms situated on the ground floor. This thoughtful design ensures easy access and comfort for guests, while the fully-enclosed gardens make it a safe space for children and pets alike. Garden furniture is available for guests to enjoy leisurely afternoons and al fresco meals in the sun. The cottage has been tastefully refurbished to offer 'upside down' living accommodation, with a spacious open-plan living area and a well-equipped kitchen featuring a range oven located on the upper floor, enhancing the sense of space and light.

In addition to its inviting interiors, Grooms Cottage reflects the owners' commitment to environmental conservation by supporting the RSPB. A portion of each rental goes to this charity, encouraging guests to visit nearby RSPB reserves at Titchwell and Snettisham. These reserves offer opportunities to explore the rich bird and wildlife that inhabit the region, making it a perfect outing for nature enthusiasts. The nearby Brancaster Staithe also allows visitors to walk the scenic coast path and purchase fresh fish directly from the local harbor, adding a unique culinary experience to their stay.

For larger groups or families, Grooms Cottage can be conveniently booked alongside the adjacent Betty's Cottage, which is just 20 feet away. This option provides additional accommodation while maintaining a sense of privacy. The cottage is pet-friendly, welcoming two well-behaved dogs for a small additional charge, making it a perfect getaway for those looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Brancaster and its surroundings with their furry companions.
