Accommodation overview: The Normans details
The Normans is a three storey holiday townhouse situated in the centre of Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk, just a 2-minute walk from the harbour and the sea. A high wall totally encloses the picturesque rear garden and patio area of this self catering luxury rental house. The house was originally built for the town's wheat merchant, who, it was rumoured, was also a smuggler. At the top of the holiday house there is a spy window, from which the merchant watched his boats come in and apparently the house had tunnels running beneath leading to various locations in the town. The spacious bedrooms have impressive views across the coast from Holkham to Stiffkey.
Wells-next-the-Sea is a popular Norfolk town set behind a small harbour on the beautiful North Norfolk Coast. The town has a maze of narrow streets, old alleys and yards, filled with shops, pubs and cafes and there are many listed and impressive Georgian and Victorian buildings.
Wells-next-the-Sea is within one of the UK's designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the heart of the North Norfolk Heritage Coast. The beautiful sandy beach, with its pine trees, sand dunes and colourful beach huts, can be reached using a miniature steam train from the harbour, or enjoy the quay with its active fishing fleet and sailing club. The Normans makes an ideal outdoor holiday break as both Wells-next-the-Sea and Holkham Woods are one of the UK's designated Nature Reserves, and walkers and birdwatchers can enjoy the North Norfolk Coastal Path, creeks and marshes. Should catering be of interest it can be arranged through Julie Abbs Catering on 01328 701939 / 07798 818448 or visit www.julieabbs.co.uk

Accommodation overview: Dovecote details
Privately situated within the grounds of Felmingham Hall, a fine Grade II listed Elizabethan manor house, are Felmingham Hall Barns: two award-winning holiday properties with a stunning 18th century barn conversion. Individually Longbarn and Dovecote can cater for parties of up to 10 or six respectively.

The famous Weaver's Way network of country walks is a 10-minute stroll from the barns and the east coast just 15 minutes by car. From Felmingham the picturesque Georgian towns of Holt and Burnham Market, the seaside villages of Cley (with its famous bird sanctuaries) and Stiffkey, and the traditional English resort towns of Cromer (with its Hotel de Paris), Sheringham and Wells are all within easy reach by car and offer everything from delicatessens and antique shops to restaurants and theatres.
Dovecote, the smaller unit in this award-winning conversion of an 18th century barn, features a deceptively spacious reception room with inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove, dining area with double doors. The private south-facing walled garden looks out onto the dovecote, from which it takes its name, and in spring/summer over a wild flower meadow to the west.

Accommodation overview: Grace Cottage details
Grace Cottage is a modern, well-equipped three bedroom cottage that has recently been refurbished to a very high standard. It is situated at the Old Vicarage, Little Walsingham, a beautiful and historic village in North Norfolk. One of several cottages located within the grounds of the Old Vicarage which sits in two acres of woodland, Grace Cottage is located within the Vicarage's original walled garden with French doors leading into the garden.
For centuries Walsingham has been a place of pilgrimage and, at its height in medieval times, it rivalled Canterbury and the great shrines of Europe. Many of the Kings and Queens of England made pilgrimages here, from Henry III to Henry VIII. The shrines still attract visitors from all over the world, as do the ruins of four abbeys within a five-mile radius, and Walsingham has no less than 169 listed buildings in the pristine village set in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Grace Cottage is only four miles from the coast of North Norfolk, famed for its beaches and wildlife reserves with their abundance of rare birds and seals.
Locally there is plenty to do from horse riding, walking the Holy Mile, cycling, exploring the grounds of Walsingham Abbey and taking the world's longest narrow gauge steam train from Walsingham to Wells-next-the-Sea.

However, the off-season is the real 'secret Norfolk' when the roads are free of traffic, the pubs have log fires, the dark nights are filled with bright stars and the daytime migrations are scrutinised and contemplated with the back drop of a big sky. The peace and tranquility are exceptional, and Grace Cottage with its lush interior designed for comfort is the perfect place for rest and relaxation and the perfect starting point for exploring the beautiful North Norfolk Coast.
