Norfolk Cottage

We aim to make the Old Coastguards’ cottage a place to go to just relax, or a peaceful place to hide and work. To this end, we’ve kitted it out with everything we think you could need to make your stay stress-free.

Broadband

For those who come for a quiet place to work, but need to be connected to the wider world, or just can’t bear to be away from their email, Wi-fi 2Mb broadband is provided. This website was built at the cottage! (If you don’t want to be tempted, leave that darned computer at home.)

Entertainment

In the living room, you can relax on the leather sofas to watch telly (Freeview) or a DVD (bring your own - we only provide the player) or listen to music on the mini hi-fi system (minidiscs, cds, or you can connect an ipod).

The main bedroom has also a TV, and an alarm clock radio.

If you’re feeling a bit more energetic, but don’t feel like the beach, then there are some bicycles available for hire (must be pre-arranged), so you can go for a spin round the local villages. The pub in nearby Trunch is good, we hear.

Kitchen

If you want to cook grand dinners, the kitchen is fully equipped with an electric cooker with grill, a toaster, microwave oven, coffee maker, fridge freezer, pots and pans, decent knives, and all the paraphenalia you need.

Ablutions

The spacious bathroom contains a large deep cast-iron bath (with integral shower), a toilet and a wash basin. A shaver point and a hairdryer are provided. The boiler provides unlimited hot water, so there’s no need to share! There is also a fully automatic washer / dryer for use during your stay.

Babies and tots

We can arrange for a cot and a high chair, and other bits and pieces to be available during your stay. Please ring for details.

Other stuff

The cottage is heated by gas central heating with radiators in every room.
Duvets, fresh linen, and towels are provided.

What if it’s a nice evening?

There’s a barbecue available (stock up at the excellent butchers in the village), and there’s even a garden heater, just in case it gets cold later on.

Games

If, by some meteorological freak, the weather should not be fine, there is also a selection of jigsaw puzzles, and games. Monopoly is available for those who enjoy family rows.
