Located in the charming coastal village of Burnham Overy Staithe, Norfolk, Sea Pie is a beautifully designed end terrace cottage that accommodates up to eight guests. Just a short stroll from the harbour, this cottage offers easy access to various water activities such as swimming, boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Its proximity to the village's exceptional gastro pub, The Hero, enhances the appeal for those seeking a vibrant dining experience. The cottage's construction, featuring traditional brick and flint, seamlessly integrates with the picturesque surroundings of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The interiors of Sea Pie are thoughtfully curated, combining traditional country furniture with contemporary nautical elements. Spread over three floors, the ground floor is designed with underfloor heating and an open-plan living space that benefits from abundant natural light through a lantern roof. The well-equipped kitchen allows guests to prepare meals using fresh local produce, including seasonal delicacies like mussels, fish, and samphire. A large farmhouse table with bench seating invites gatherings for memorable meals, while sumptuous sofas create a cozy atmosphere for relaxation and planning daily adventures. The ground floor also includes a fourth bedroom with a 4ft double bed and a convenient shower room, catering to guests who may require more accessibility or privacy.
On the first floor, guests will find two additional bedrooms, one featuring a double bed and the other offering twin beds, both sharing a family bathroom equipped with a double-ended bath and shower. The entire second floor is dedicated to the master accommodation, which boasts a king-size bed, a dormer window with distant sea views, and an en-suite bathroom with another double-ended bath. Outside, the cottage features a fully-enclosed patio and lawned area, perfect for sunbathing and al fresco dining during the warmer months. The outdoor space is also practical, providing room for hanging wet suits and storing paddleboards, along with designated parking for one vehicle and additional first-come-first-serve parking options.
Sea Pie is part of the Hero Cottages collection, which includes two other cottages, Kitty Coot and Picarini, allowing for larger group bookings of up to 20 guests. The location offers not only a vibrant coastal experience but also opportunities for recreational activities, such as tennis courts and a playground nearby. With the option to bring along two well-behaved dogs (for a small additional fee), this cottage is an ideal retreat for families or groups of friends looking to enjoy a contemporary and comfortable getaway by the sea. Note that guests are advised to bring their own beach towels, as there is no starter pack or welcome hamper provided at this property.
