About this property

Dog Friendly, Cosy Fisherman's Cottage Within 150 Metres Of A Long Sandy Beach

Sandy Cottage is an original mid 1800's semi detached Fisherman's Cottage. Refurbished to a high standard it boasts a central location in the old part of Caister village, approximately 150 metres from the quiet sandy beach and dunes (Dog friendly beach all year). Fishing is popular on the local beach, with a good selection of different species being caught all year round. Views of the Caister Life Boat Station and a partial sea view can be seen from the front bedroom window. With off street parking for 2 vehicles on a gravel driveway to the front of the cottage there is also plenty of additional parking on the road down the side of the property. The nearest pub and chip shop are situated about 150 metres away with several other pubs, restaurants, takeaways and shops within a 5-10 minute walk. The moated Caister Castle and the Beautiful Norfolk Broads National Park are just a very short drive away, giving you the opportunity to explore the Broads and maybe do some fishing aboard your very own Broads cruiser which you can hire for a day from one of the many local boatyards. The Cathedral City of Norwich is situated within a 30 minute drive. With its Castle, many Historical attractions and endless shops restaurants and entertainment, your sure to find something for everyone. The Seaside resort of Great Yarmouth is just 3 miles away with good public transport links (buses every 10 minutes). If you enjoy the flashing lights of the arcades on the seafront, enjoy a few white knuckle rides or are looking for some night-life then its well worth a visit. It also hosts a Shopping Centre, Racecourse, Golf course and Dog/Banger racing Stadium. If you want a quiet retreat or enjoy a busy schedule then Sandy Cottage is ideally placed for you to relax or explore the surrounding area.

The cottage is so close to a beautiful beach. It was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The stairs could be an issue for some seniors as they are a little narrow. The host was very helpful and easy to contact. All in all a lovely place to stay.

We had a lovely 3 days, everything you need in the property, if you have mobility issues maybe not the best as the stairs to the bedrooms are very steep, but that is usually standard in cottages and for me adds to the charm

This property is truly outstanding. It was wonderfully clean and boasts everything one could possibly need for a holiday and then many extras too. Beds are extremely comfortable , showers nice and hot and the beach could not be any closer. Its quite central to shops, fish and chip shops and a lovely dog friendly pub. We all loved it and are looking forward to a return visit when we can get the time off! The hosts are friendly, helpful and very quick to respond to e-mails.

Family holiday very close to the beach.

Clean, well equipped cottage with enclosed courtyard ideal for our grandchildren and dog. Very close to sandy dog friendly beach and near the Caister life boat. Excellent cafe and shop in the visitor centre. Would certainly return again a good base for exploring the area by bus or car.

Narrow, steep stairs!

Fantastic place and location, very well equipped, very clean, lovely showers, comfy beds. The only negative were the stairs, not really suitable for the very elderly or disabled! Overall we had a brilliant holiday

This is our second or third stay at Sandy Cottage and doubtless there will be more. Very comfortable and well equipped, owners very patient and helpful for people like me who find the vrbo app very complicated, fish and chip shop around the corner at other end of street, front garden parking so nice snd close to front door, short walk to beach - what’s not to like? don’t be scared of the steep stairs just use both hands to come down and one firm hand to ascend!
