Norfolk Cottage

Mundesley is a small village set on the North Norfolk coast approximately seven miles from Cromer to the west and four miles from Bacton to the east. Slightly off the main North Norfolk tourist trail, Mundesley is a quiet and unspoilt little jewel with a warm and friendly atmosphere. There is a thriving village community with local shops comprising butcher, fresh fish stall, greengrocer, general store, pharmacy, florist and post office. Locally baked bread is delivered daily to The Mundesley Stores and the greengrocers offer a telephone ordering and delivery service. A well-stocked Spar is located at the bottom end of the High Street. Usefully, this shop is open daily and most evenings till 11pm. It also has an off-licence. There are also a couple of take-aways, including fish & chips and burgers and there is a chinese take-away and a couple of tea-rooms.

Several pubs offer lunchtime and evening food. The Royal Hotel in particular, has a wonderful old bar with excellent beer (mainly Adnams and Greene King) and has a restaurant as well. The food menu is quite extensive and typical pub food which is well cooked and presented.

The Old Victoriana Bar is amazing with original Victorian domed glass ceiling and seating in parts is booth style. This pub is on the sea front as is The Ship. The Ship offers a good range of food throughout the week and this pub also has live music on some evenings during season.

From the cottage, the sea is 2 minutes across Gold Park and has a beautiful sandy beach. The sea is safe for swimming (except when red flag flying) and is ideal for children who can play on the sand when not in the water. There is also the usual array of small seaside shops and kiosks selling buckets and spades and icecreams, etc on the seafront, although they are less conspicuous in Mundesley than in most seaside towns. There’s a dinosaur-themed mini golf course is next to Gold Park.

And that’s about it.
