We had a fantastic stay at Curlew cottage. The cottage was very clean, cozy, and the garden was perfect for our Spaniel. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, and the beds were very comfortable. Wifi is a bit hit and miss, but can only be expected in such a rural location. The location is quiet, with easy access to the beach and only 2 mins walk from the Nelsons Head pub. Would definitely recommend the venison burger and shepherds pie. The beach is beautiful and with the added bonus of seeing the seals both on the beach, napping, and in the sea. Suzanne was helpful and replied quickly to our messages. We would love to stay here again!

Great week’s holiday in a comfortable cottage

We had a great stay in Horsey. The cottage had everything we needed, our dog loved playing in the garden and the location was perfect for getting to some beautiful beaches, pubs and shopping. We especially loved seeing the seals. Suzanna was really helpful and everyone at the Nelson Head pub was really friendly too. We’ll be back!

Another outstanding stay

Our second time at the lovely Curlew Cottage and it was just as fabulous as the first! Everything you could possibly need for a home away from home. Bed was so comfy! Can’t fault this place. Lovely walk to the beach and hardly any other humans on it….just shared with hundreds of seals! Garden is perfect too! Did not want to leave!

Horsey

Perfect place to enjoy the peace and quiet of beautiful Horsey. Well-equipped, stylish, comfortable cottage with good-sized enclosed garden, outdoor seating and BBQ. Excellent location near welcoming pub and lovely walk to beach to see amazing grey seals. A wonderful socially-distanced holiday!

Lovely relaxing place to stay

The property is a short lovely walk away from an amazing beach which was full of seals! What a treat! There is a nice pub on your doorstep but other than that you need to use your car to go to coffee shops etc so a real get away from it all type of place❤️ it was clean and had everything you may need. The only thing which spoiled our stay was a Neighbour opposite has a dog which barks all the time so did affect our peace whilst sitting in the garden but if that sort of thing doesn’t bother you then a perfect place to stay👍

Great Stay

We very much enjoyed our stay at Curlew Cottage. The property was very clean and had everything we needed for a 3 night stay - we treated ourselves and didn't do any cooking bar toast in the morning! Suzanna provided thorough directions to how to get there and responded and resolved very quickly to a problem we encountered. The location is great - about 20min walk to beautiful beach with seals (depending on time of year, I believe). Popped into the Nelson Head on our way back for a hearty dinner and then just a few strides back to the cottage. Suntrap of a garden and spent a few hours there reading in the March sunshine. A wonderful place all round! Thank you!

Could not fault it!

Curlew Cottage was spotlessly clean ready for our stay, it was absolutely perfect, everything you could possibly need for a holiday near the beach. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfy too! The location was great for us, it was a short 15 min walk to the beach, the beach was empty as you can’t park at the beach entrance closest to the cottage, the only way is to walk there ….from the cottage only 1 min down the lane and then on paths with no vehicle access! Lots of wildlife birds and deer to spot en route. The private garden at the cottage was perfect for our dogs, very safe and secure. The shower was very powerful so it was great after a day hiking. We highly recommend this place, we genuinely could not fault it! Loved every minute at this beautiful cottage.

Everything was perfect, well decorated, well equipped and spotlessly clean.The fully enclosed large garden was perfect for our dog.My wife and I had a very relaxing week here. The cottage is in a quietsetting but still close to all the lovely Norfolk beaches, walks and attractions.We would love to visit again sometime.

Lovely getaway

Curlew cottage is part of the old Horsey post office, but inside you would never know you are in an old building, with the inside decor being thoroughly modern. The cottage was spotless when we arrived. The cottage is well equiped for a family of 4 and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom is large and has both a bath and a walkin shower. The cottage has a large enclosed garden to the rear with garden furniture. Horsey is a relatively remote location - I wouldn't recommend staying in the cottage without a car. The village pub is two minutes down the road and does simple but tasty food. The beach, complete with seal coloney is about 15 mins walk off road and the Horsey wind pump is about the same round the lane. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - communication with the owner was fast and efficient. Curlew cottage makes a good base to explore the Norfolk coast and broads.

The best cottage we’ve stayed in!

The cottage has everything you need and more. Spotlessly clean and fully equipped to a high standard. A huge garden with table and chairs to soak up the sun(if it shines) and a clean charcoal BBQ. Unfortunately for us the weather wasn’t great, but our dog loved the garden! Pub next door and beach down a ‘traffic free’ lane. Would definitely recommend

Just Right

We stayed a week in September in Curlew Cottage and it really was just right in every way. It’s very clean and comfortable and is well equipped. The garden is lovely and even the two sun loungers were comfy. The location is excellent with lots of walks right from the door. We hardly moved the car. Obviously the seals are an extra plus! Communication with the owner is very easy and the welcome pack was a lovely touch.
