About this property

Moongazer Cottage Heacham

Built in 1876 and full of original period features, Moongazer is a pretty, two bedroom Carstone cottage, situated in the enchanting Norfolk village of Heacham. This beautifully presented cottage is full of character, with exposed beams, stone walls and original floorboards. It is ideal for families, friends, or couples, who are wishing for a relaxing coastal break. It is within walking distance of the beach as well as a wide variety of the village amenities (shops, pubs, restaurants). The famous Norfolk Lavender Farm is also within walking distance, along with so many other local attractions. Enjoy the miles of sandy beaches and for bird watchers, visit the R.S.P.B coastal nature reserves at Snettisham and Titchwell. The Victorian seaside town of Hunstanton is just 2 miles away and Sandringham House and Gardens only 5 miles. Conveniently, the village is on the coastal bus route too. There are so many wonderful places to explore!

Inside the cottage, is a cosy living room with a wood burning stove, a spacious kitchen with dining area, a utility area with washing machine and a downstairs bathroom, with a full size bath and rainfall shower. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, as well as a WC. One bedroom has a double bed and a quaint window seat- to watch the world go by. The second bedroom includes twin full size single beds, suitable for both adults and children, with a skylight- just perfect for moon gazing!

Moongazer cottage is set back off the road with an enclosed gravelled area to the front of the house. On street parking is available opposite the cottage. The rear garden is fully enclosed and is the ideal spot for relaxing, after a day of exploring.

Stunning cottage

We had a fabulous stay at Moongazer and will definitely be back. The location is ideal - you can walk to the beach and the bus service is excellent. It has everything you need and we were made to feel very welcome. We made good use of the log fire. Great communication with owners/manager - thank you for a lovely stay

The loveliest cottage!

So cute and cosy, had everything we needed to cook a Christmas dinner. The owners had decorated for us and left goodies under the tree and in the kitchen, we felt very welcome and spoilt. Even the dog was so well provided for! Thank you so much.

Squeaky

Loved, loved, loved this cottage. So comfy, quite location, nicely decorated, well equipped. Only thing was that doors were squeaky (as well as floorboards), but nothing that a can of WD40 wouldn’t fix 🤣🤣🤣

5 star*****

Amazing little cottage. Very well equipped, spotlessly clean, comfy and a great location for exploring the Norfolk coast. Parking was the only minor downside as had to park jn 3 different spots during our stay but dont let that put you off, still well worth it. Word of warning to tall people - I'm 6ft 1" mind your head on the low doorframes, lol. Thanks to Anna and John for being splenid hosts. Alan, Paula and Max the dog.
