Originally a barn belonging to the Manor House it enjoys a peaceful setting. Stiffkey offers access to the sea via its famous and much photographed salt marshes and is famous for its Stewkey Blues; plump and tasty cockles, which are blue in colour due to the mud in which they live.

To the east, Blakeney offers the chance to take a boat trip to see the seal colonies, and it’s also a prime spot for crabbing. The bustling seaside towns of Sheringham and Cromer are a must-visit during your stay, with their fantastic beaches and a famous pier. History buffs will find that along with Holkham Hall, The Sandringham Estate and Blickling Hall (National Trust) are within easy reach as well.
