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 house had everything you need to make your stay perfect. There was plenty of information regarding the areas and local amenities. Overall, I would highly recommend.
Brilliant service form start to finish -host was so helpful with everything considering it was a very last minute booking!! Would definitely book this property again!
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.
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!
Perfect cottage in a perfect location.
The owners have put a lot of thought into equipping the cottage with everything you need for a short stay.
Very clean and comfortable .
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
Although we managed with 5 adults 1 child and an infant I would suggest only 4 adults. House was well equipped and perfect location for the beach. Owners were outstanding as they returned items we had left, including an iPhone charger.
Fab property located a few minutes from a beautiful beach and in walking distance of shops and pubs.
The property had everything we needed and more. There is a upstairs and downstairs bathroom and the showers in them were great!
Would recommend x
Great location to beach shops and pubs. Comfortable house everything you need, but the Staircase is very steep and narrow so not suitable for everyone.
The court yard garden had a lovely sunny aspect, but needed sweeping daily , also the Barbecue was very rusty , as pointed out by previous reviews so we didn’t use it. On the whole we enjoyed our stay
Comfortable and well appointed cottage,not far from the beach.Has a small back yard with table and chairs,plus a barbecue which unfortunately was extremely dirty and rusty,so no body would be able to use.Otherwise we had a very pleasant stay.

Hi Valerie
Thank you for taking the time to review our cottage and pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay.
As we are in such close proximity to the beach, the salt in the air does tend to rust most metals rather quickly.
For this reason we always replace the BBQ every year at the beginning of the summer.
It has now been replaced again, but sadly it seems a little too late for you guys to use it.
Thank you for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy on your departure, we hope to see you guys again in the future.
Lovely house, very clean and tidy, and has an upstairs bathroom which is a massive bonus in this area!
Kitchen has all things you will need, plenty of cutlery, plates, glasses etc. Plenty of towels, although the bath towels could be a little larger! TV's in every room which is a nice touch. Nice little courtyard garden with table & chairs.
Nice takeaways nearby, Brilliant fish & chips was good.
Thoroughly enjoyed our week and will definitely look to book this house again.
Second time staying at this property and just like before it was fantastic. The property was lovely and clean and brilliantly equipped with everything you need making it a real home from home. Self catering is really easy as the kitchen is fully equipped including ample fridge and freezer space. With the added convenience of having a dishwasher and washing machine. For those travelling with younger children there is a travel coat, high chair and steriliser too.The beds were all comfy and plenty of towels supplied too.We were a family of 4 adults, 1 teen, 1 child and a dog and there was more than enough space for us all. The court yard seating was great for enjoying the afternoon sun, and the beach was just a short walk away. We even saw a family of seals in the sea just a short distance from the shore.Caister itself has everything you need locally including a lovely bakery, supermarkets, take aways and pubs. And just a short drive into Yarmouth for more family activities. Gary was super helpful providing all the check in details in advance and provided contact details if we needed anything during our stay, however all the cottage details were also provided at the property too making everything simple and straightforward.We will certainly be returning!
Our second visit and our long weekend was even better than last year. Lots of lovely little touches around the cottage. Location is perfect being just a couple of hundred yards from an amazing beach. Dog friendly pubs and cafe virtually on your doorstep Cottage is spotlessly clean on arrival and really comfortable. We will definitely book again for next year.
