Post Box Cottage - a self catering cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
This lovely period cottage offers comfortable and well-presented accommodation in one of North Norfolk's most desirable coastal villages. With two off-road parking spaces, it's an ideal base for families or couples looking to explore the coast and countryside.
The property features two bedrooms — a double and a twin — along with a ground floor bathroom, cosy living room, and a well-equipped dining kitchen, providing everything needed for a relaxing stay.
Stiffkey is a highly regarded coastal village, popular for its stunning natural surroundings and relaxed atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a well-loved gastro pub, along with a village shop and deli for everyday essentials.
The area is renowned for its exceptional walking routes. From the cottage, you can follow the Norfolk Coast Path or venture out across Stiffkey Marshes, part of the Blakeney National Nature Reserve—an expansive and unspoilt saltmarsh landscape rich in wildlife and breathtaking coastal views. These marshes form one of the UK's most important habitats for birds and provide a truly picturesque setting leading out towards the beach and Blakeney Point.
A short drive brings you to some of North Norfolk's finest destinations, including the vast sandy beaches along the coast and the impressive Holkham Hall estate, set within extensive parkland, woodland and coastal landscapes—perfect for a full day out exploring.
Whether you're looking for coastal walks, wildlife, or simply a peaceful retreat, this cottage offers the perfect base to enjoy everything North Norfolk has to offer. The cottage has had a number of recent upgrades and improvements, in response to guest comments and feedback. Extensive building works to nearby properties have now been completed, which should also contribute to more relaxed and enjoyable experience for guests.
