Old Smithy, Titchwell, Norfolk
Old Smithy is a beautifully presented attractive brick & chalk barn, set in a small development in the small coastal village of Titchwell, renowned for its amazing birdlife and beautiful beach.
This traditional barn has been converted into smart and stylish living accommodation, but its character remains with evidence of the fabric of the building, in the form of exposed chalk walls, vaulted ceilings and beams reminding you of its origin. Old Smithy is a most comfortable and spacious place to stay and will suit families, friends and couples who are looking for a short or longer stay in a rather lovely holiday hideaway in a convenient and peaceful location midway between Brancaster and Thornham.
On the ground floor there is a stunning sitting room, double height to one end and bi-fold doors to the other, with so much comfortable seating you really are spoilt for choice. The doors open into the south facing, enclosed courtyard garden enabling you to bring the outside in if you wish. The well-equipped kitchen opens into the dining hall, just the place for a sociable get together, be it easy relaxed dining or a more formal affair. A handy cloakroom, with ample space for boots and coats, and utility complete the downstairs. Upstairs there are four inviting bedrooms, with super comfy beds, and two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite. Outside, as well as the enclosed courtyard, there is an open communal grassed area at the rear of the barn, where Old Smithy has its own lawned area with bench seating.
Whether you are a seasoned birdwatcher or total novice, the RSPB nature reserve just across the coast road is well worth a visit. Titchwell is well-served with two fabulous places to eat. Titchwell Manor and Briarfields are a short walk away, and offer both fine and casual dining. The Coasthopper bus service runs from the bottom of the drive, and will take the strain and transport you to all the other coastal villages from Kings Lynn to Cromer. North West Norfolk has the most wonderful sandy beaches as well as some grand houses to visit, such as Sandringham House and Houghton Hall.
Additional Information: Three well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge). Synthetic duvets and a mixture of feather and synthetic pillows. Travel cot and high chair available on request. Please bring your own linen for the travel cot. Please bring your own pods for the Krups coffee machine.
Old Smithy is a gorgeous barn conversion, very well equipped and comfortable. I stayed with my Labrador and itâs perfect for dog walks and exploring the nearby coastline. My only niggle was the property wasnât spotless- very dusty blinds when I opened some windows and the kitchen the same- a few dirty plates etc (I know this relies on the previous guest so not a given that everyone takes care in this department!). The Ship in Brancaster (5 min drive/20 min walk) is lovely for food- very good service, dog friendly, super cocktails and top notch food. Old smithy is situated between Briarfield hotel and is right beside Titchwell manor- so no shortage of lovely places to eat and drink. Brancaster beach lovely and is the closest, just watch the little road as there can be a tidal flood- you can park at the top and walk down though. Holkham beach/ park gorgeous too. Iâd definitely stay again to explore more of this part of Norfolk.
