About this property
Cosy 17th century 1 bed cottage, perfect for couples and furry companions.
Following extensive restoration and enhancement works which began in October 2023, we re-opened Easter 2024 and so pleased with our guests feedback so far.
Vine Cottage now has a new kitchen, bathroom with bath and shower, new conservation windows and new conservatory with heating.
The grounds have been re-landscaped with its own enclosed garden and a communcal space with gazebo and BBQ area and had a total refit throughout. We have also added a hot and cold doggy shower for our furry guests.
As Vine Cottage is over 300 years old we have unearthed some lovely original features which have been preserved and enhanced for our guests to enjoy.
Vine Cottage is a spacious charming (Grade II listed) 17th century brick and flint cottage with 1 large bedroom with King -size bed and TV with Freeview, bathroom with bath and shower, kitchen with electric oven, microwave, AirFryer and a cosy sitting room with dining area, SmartHDTV, a utility room housing the washing machine and fridge freezer and a sunny conservatory and free Wifi.
The cottage has retained that "home from home" feeling with traditional charm with its own private enclosed garden and off road allocated parking with access to a communal garden area with BBQ area and gazebo.
Located in the sleepy village of GREAT SNORING, with the village church next door it is just 6 miles from Wells-Next-the-Sea the fabulous North Norfolk Coast and close to many local attractions and charming villages. Places such as Holt, Holkham Estate, Royal Sandringham, Houghton Hall, Bickling Estate, Burnham Market, the NT wildlife reserve at Blakeney, Brancaster for the seals, historial Walsingham, Sheringham and Cromer are all within easy reach from the cottage.
We are also dog friendly with plenty of dog walks just round the corner including the Walsingham Way which leads into the historic village of Little Walsingham and plentiful dog friendly beaches nearby.
There are an array of beautiful walks, both coastal and inland with the North Norfolk Coastal path stretching all along from Old Hanstanton to Cromer, plenty of golf courses, fishing, sea fishing, bird watching, nature reserves, a racecourse and some superb restaurants / pubs and many shopping opportunities including some amazing artisan shops with locally sourced produce.
North Norfolk just love their dogs and most are welcome in lots of pubs, restaurants and shops too. Most of the beaches along the coastline are dog friendly too.
A quirky, charming and dog friendly cosy cottage in a quiet location ideal for a relaxing break but does have WiFi included and a Smart HD TV with streaming service available.

About the host
Hosted by Karen May
Family run dog friendly holiday cottages – hoping you’ll love Norfolk as much as we do.
After many years of long hours and commuting, we made a life changing decision that it was time to do something different and hopefully “buy some time” in our later years.
Karen was born in Hampshire and grew up in Africa before returning to the UK settling in Hertfordshire. Karen’s parents had 3 daughters and had a holiday home in Norfolk, a place where she spent many happy holiday years.
Andrew grew up in East London, trained as a Surveyor and spent over 30 years in Construction and Development, his family holidays were a mixture of camping and boating on the Norfolk Broads.
The pull to Norfolk for both of us was a natural next step with this being our first holiday let venture together.
We instantly fell in love with Great Snoring and the charm and character of Clevency Cottages and purchased all three cottages in December 2019. We both love being outdoors and long walks along the coastline and countryside and where better to do this but on the beautiful Norfolk coastline, enjoying the award winning beaches, many of them dog friendly, remarkable nature, the space, big skies, and experiencing the wonderful local people and produce.
Extensive preservation and restoration works have now been completed and we are thoroughly pleased with the end results.
It is always worth sending me an enquiry if your preferred dates looked fully booked - the availability chart may be incorrect so please double check with me.

Why they chose this property
Home from home in a wonderful quiet setting, right on top of everything that north Norfolk can offer. Everything is all within 15/20 mins drive away. The cottage is quirky and very cosy and we are dog friendly too. North Norfolk love their dogs and most pubs, restaurants and shop welcome them too.
What makes this property unique
17th century Grade II listed brick and flint cottage with a view of Great Snoring church from its own enclosed garden. It's own conservatory at the entrance to the cottage is perfect for that relaxing morning coffee. Quirky and perfect for a couple with their furry companions
