Former Dairy Farm Turned Coastal Retreat
Before becoming a Norfolk holiday retreat, this was a busy working dairy farm. Today, the tractors and churns are gone, but the countryâfarm character remains in every corner:
Exposed beams, sloping ceilings and rustic details tell the story of the old farm buildings
A laidâback, rural atmosphere encourages you to slow down and simply enjoy being by the coast
The courtyard setting, open skies and fresh sea air create a peaceful, âtuckedâawayâ feel
Because we sit dropped below the road, you feel wonderfully hidden away â sheltered from the sea breeze and shielded from traffic and passersâby. Thereâs a real sense of being away from it all, yet in just a few minutes you can be:
Wandering through Heacham village or down to Heacham South or North Beach
Enjoying a classic day out in Hunstanton (around 3 miles away)
Exploring woodlands, coastal walks and royal estates such as Sandringham
Itâs a Norfolk farmhouse B&B that still feels like a little workingâlandscape hideaway, right by the Norfolk coast.
