A Delightful Retreat Located In The Heart Of The North Norfolk Countryside.

Wiveton, Norfolk

Fo’c'sle is a charming detached timber-clad retreat situated in Wiveton, Norfolk, within the picturesque North Norfolk countryside. Ideal for couples, this cozy getaway accommodates two guests and is conveniently located just a short drive from the stunning Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The cottage's name, pronounced "Folksall," is derived from a nautical term referring to the living quarters of sailors on a ship. Guests can enjoy the tranquility of this peaceful hideaway, free from the worries of sea conditions, while being close to one of North Norfolk's finest dining establishments, the Wiveton Bell.

The interior of Fo’c'sle is attractively furnished, with many decorative elements sourced from the local pottery and gallery “Made in Cley.” The open-plan ground floor features a compact, well-equipped kitchen, a bright dining area with double doors leading to a private courtyard, and a cozy sitting room complete with a wood-burning stove. Upstairs, the spacious bedroom boasts a picture window offering beautiful views of the surrounding valley and church, along with a comfortable king-size bed and an en-suite shower room. The owners, who reside next door, are available to provide helpful local insights and recommendations for exploring the area.

Wiveton's prime location between the coastal villages of Blakeney and Cley-next-the-Sea makes it a perfect base for enjoying the natural beauty of the glaven valley, which is rich in wildlife and walking opportunities. The area is just one mile south of the coast road, serviced by the 'Coasthopper' bus, which allows for easy one-way walks along the Norfolk coast path. Additionally, Wiveton Downs is recognized as a "Dark Skies" site, offering spectacular opportunities for stargazing and even the chance to see the northern lights, thanks to its minimal light pollution.

Fo’c'sle is pet-friendly, welcoming two well-behaved dogs for an additional charge, although it is not suitable for infants or children. The property features synthetic bedding and provides logs for the wood-burning stove. Outside, there is a west-facing courtyard with a terrace and lawn area, perfect for relaxation, although it is not secure for dogs. Off-road parking is available for one car beside the cottage. The surrounding area offers various attractions, including the Muckleburgh Collection, Natural Surroundings, and opportunities for sailing, cycling, and hiking, ensuring a delightful stay for all visitors.
