This charming, characterful cottage with lovely conservatory, courtyard garden and parking space is in the centre of this small, coastal village, close to the road leading to the beach. Benefitting from a variety of village shops, to include general store, butcher and fish and chip shop, the stunning beach is only a few minutes stroll away where you can relax on the sandy beach, explore the rock pools or tides permitting, walk the coast path and venture further afield to Cromer or Sheringham.

This was our second stay at Orchard Cottage. It is well located and has everything that you would want. We love the fact it has a front garden and rear courtyard, which we made use of. The log burner is an added bonus. We made use of the conservatory this time. The only grumble I have is it would be nice to have larger towels, as the ones provided are a bit small. There were some additional extras from last time, the coat stand and show rack, which we found useful. The cottage is well located. We booked Sunday lunch at the Pub opposite and made use of the village shop. We will definitely be back again.



A great week at the cottage

Excellent well equipped cottage, perfect location for the beach and within easy walking distance of Cromer. Garden to the front and courtyard at the back perfect and safe for my little dog. I really cannot fault this cottage.

Excellent location. The house has everything you need, its really quiet tucked in the side street with parking, local shop has everyday needs, beach over the road. Bus routes each way every 30 minutes. It's downsides are stairs inside the property not suitable for small children and the steep hill to the beach. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Had a really lovely holiday in this very nice cottage. Second time staying there, really clean and comfortable, every need catered for.
Really appreciate the key safe, much much easier than having to go into Sheringham to collect and return the keys.
Highly recommend.

A really nice cottage in a great location. Had everything we needed. Great that you could sit in either the front garden or the back courtyard. Also, nice having the conservatory as another option. The Log Burner was welcome and was cosy in the evening. We did have one issue but contacted the owner who was able to sort the issue out very quickly despite it being a Bank Holiday. Will definitely come back again.

We were looking for a dog friendly cottage in East Runton and this was a great find for us. Set back slightly from the road and with plenty of room to park our estate car it was quiet and easily accessible. Yes, occasionally the entrance was blocked but it had stated this in the welcome pack and the neighbours had either already been to check it was ok or were just unloading shopping.

The cottage was much larger than we had expected with plenty of space in all rooms except the kitchen where it was generally best to work alone. The overall condition was pretty good. The bathroom could do with finishing properly and the kitchen could do with a maintenance overhaul (please sort out the issue with the fridge & drawer). We didn't venture out into the rear yard but the front garden was well presented and in full bloom so nice to sit out in after our days exploring.

Having 2 television sets was great for us as it meant us girls could settle down to our programme whilst the man of the party could enjoy something else.

Dog walking around Norfolk is always wonderful but what more could you ask for by having beach access approximately 2 minutes walk away. We like to walk along the beach to either West Runton or Cromer and then back in along the road. Both pubs are dog friendly and offer good service. The fish & chip shop is great and the local Nisa store has an excellent range of food & drinks etc.

Of course there were down sides to this cottage and we're being picky. The details stated that all non recyclable waste must go into the black bin bags provided, unfortunately, despite searching the house, only one black bag had been left for the whole week. It might be just us but the double bed was ridiculously soft and uncomfortable to the point my partner slept in the conservatory most of the week. We would have preferred 2 sets of keys as we like to get up early to walk the dog and it meant we had to lock mum in the house for security (handbags etc) but with no means of escape in an emergency. We also like to split up and do different things during the day so we had to 'synchronise watches' and set a time to meet up. Collecting and returning the keys to Sheringham was also a real bind.

On the whole, we loved it - would we return? Maybe

We would have referred to have a key safe at the property because it is difficult getting the key from Sherringham due to parking. The grandchildren loved the easy access to the beach. The property was warm and cosy with plenty of hot water .the shower could do with an upgrade.

Orchard Cottage is in a great location in East Runton, So close to the beach!! - literally less than a 5 minute walk. The Cottage is warm and cosy and sleeps 5 easily and comfortably... Pet Friendly so we were able to talk our puppy which was a bonus for us.
Plenty of space with a conservatory on property so if you were a family of 5 there was space to spread out.
Small galley kitchen with hob. microwave, fridge and small freezer as well as a washing machine/dryer. (with 2 washing capsules and washing up liquid provided!) Totally adequate for our needs when away. We stocked up at the local Tesco in Sheringham and had fish and chips locally from Will's Plaice. (very good!) Dining area off kitchen was comfortable

Up a windy staircase was a huge bathroom with very powerful shower over a large bath (A mirror at the sink would have helped!, made for an interesting shave!) The double bedroom was large and had a soft double bed, blinds and curtains at windows (street light can shine through so holding the curtain to the blind with a hair clip assisted or get a bright light at head view!) Massive wardrobe and chest of drawers provided.

Lounge area was cosy (wood burner available), with storage heaters. Large stony garden area to front and paved patio area at back both enclosed with patio furniture.

TV with Freeview as well as a TV in conservatory with DVD player as well and a DAB Radio provided. The "Guide to Property & local area/amenities" was a nice touch

A pub and restaurant over the road and a local village shop for emergency supplies - or an ice cream!



Clean and comfortable cottage to stay in.

Very comfortable and clean cottage, our dog was quite happy. There was a mirror in every room and down the stairs, felt could have done with a mirror near washbasin.

Perfect base for walking, the beach if beautiful. Cromer & Sheringham on the door step. Parking a little tight but soon got used to it. Lovely little courtyard for the dog & nice front garden to sit & relax in. We loved it.

The cottage was really nice, clean and comfortable but I wouldn't recomend it to anyone for 2 reasons -

1) it's quite a downmarket area - rough pubs, a fish & chip shop, no access to the beach because of erosion, lots of traffic.
2) although the property itself has adequate parking, neighbours don't have parking so you find other holidaymakers who occupy cottages nearby all parking outside you, blocking your access many times. When I was there a neighbouring house was having a new bathroom installed & for the entire week my exit was blocked by builders, plumbers, tilers ........not condusive to a quiet, relaxed holiday.

A lovely cottage and comfortable well equipped.
It's close to the road so there's constant traffic noise .
The stairs leading to the 1st floor are very steep you could hit you head as you come down the stairs.its also difficult to carry luggage up and down..
Parking is difficult for larger vehicles to turn .its fine for smaller vehicles.



Nice cottage, good facilities close by, safe for dogs close to good sandy beach

Only 2 of us so quite spacious, good outdoor spaces at the front and back, and secure for our 2 dogs. Well equipped in the kitchen but small if there were 4 adults. Ideally situated midway between Cromer and Sheringham. Just about 50yds off the main road, so not noisy. Bedrooms clean and plenty of cupboards and draws, Nice lounge with comfy chairs and sofa and good TV.Only thing missing was no tourist info and no wifi.

Cottage does not have wifi or a dishwasher.
The main bed was flimsy and central support missing so you roll into each other in the middle.
Kitchen poorly fitted so cupboard doors catch on each other… we had to pull fridge out to clear the draw next to it just so it would seal.

Home from home, everything you need for a self catering holiday. The cottage is warm, clean and comfortable with a private court yard. Easily accommodates a family of five plus a dog.
