About this property

Badger's Den, Heacham, Norfolk

Located in in the delightful coastal village of Heacham, and nestled amongst greenery, traditional carrstone built Badger's Den is a romantic escape for two, or the perfect base for a solo traveller. Curated over one level and situated close to the shops and the dog-friendly beach, this cosy little hideaway is within easy reach of some excellent pubs, world-renowned birding locations, and many other attractions.

Tucked within a banked hollow, Badger's Den makes a delightful haven at any time of the year. The fully equipped kitchen boasts all mod cons, and features everything required to rustle up a delicious meal. With some of the county's best local produce available in the surrounding area, you are bound to opt to stay in for a night or two, gathered around the dining table with seating for four. And, should you wish to head out to eat, there are plenty of great cafes, delis, gastropubs and restaurants nearby. The open plan space leads into the tranquil and comfortable sitting room which enjoys delightful garden views from the windows and adjoining conservatory. To the other side of this hideaway, the welcoming dual aspect master bedroom has a king-sized bed with garden views. This bedroom is served by a modern bathroom featuring a corner bath and separate walk-in shower.

Outside the fully enclosed garden is a great private space, and secure enough for supervised dogs to play. Offering two patio areas and a barbecue, this charming garden makes an ideal place to relax, unwind, and perhaps enjoy a bottle of wine to the backdrop of one of the gorgeous sunsets that this area of the coast is renowned for. Hidden away from the road, Badger's Den offers private parking and is accessed via a secret gate.

Badger's Den is located in the heart of this lovely coastal village, near to two out of three of the village pubs; The Bushel & Strike and The West Norfolk. Heacham has many footpaths to discover, and a great beach side promenade that stretches all the way to the iconic carrstone cliffs of neighbouring Hunstanton. Look out for popular Bordoli's pizza truck that visits the village on a Wednesday evening, and be sure to sample the gooiest of treats from Breakfast and Brownies on the high street. There is also a great antiques shop and cafe to be found next to the Tesco Express. For a larger supermarket, Lidl is located on on the road to Snettisham, and there is a big Tesco in Hunstanton, which also has EV chargers in the car park and a fuel station. For a special culinary experience, head inland to the village of Docking to sample the delights of the Nest Farmhouse, run by a Michelin star award winning team, or head further along the coast from Heacham to Old Hunstanton to find Michelin restaurant, The Neptune.

Cheney Hollow located next door offers sleeps 2, 4 and 8 options, and can be booked alongside this Badger's Den for larger parties: Cheney Hollow.

Charming Norfolk home - romantic getaway (plus the dogs)

Badgers Den was the perfect place to stay for our Easter break with our two dogs, The property was ideal for two, our cavalier king Charles spaniels loved exploring the garden, we can guarantee it is secure all the way around - Monty checked every day of our week there. The conservatory was a great addition to offer even more views of the garden - when we wanted to keep the dogs inside! Having the option to log into Netflix and AppleTV was welcomed in the evening, we started an AooleTV trial to have the opportunity to view new things away from our standard watch lists. The kitchen and bathroom were both well sized, the bed and sofas were comfortable. The only minor improvement would be if there were a three draw cabinet under the high window in the bedroom, to allow for more space to unpack, We were delighted with the property, we were touched by the welcome pack and found Heacham a wonderful base to explore. We found Norfolk to be very dog friendly and enjoyed exploring beaches, woodlands, and boat trips. Thank you we would absolutely stay again.

A lovely detached bungalow in a quiet residential area, let down mainly by cleaning issues.

Cleaning methods require improvement. Over use of air freshners. Bathroom had a very musty damp smell.

Let down by bathroom

Excellent cottage, location great, but let down by poor bathroom. Sink redicliously small, electric shower very poor, bath small and very deep. This property would be 11 out of 10 if these problems were resolved.

Badgers Den

It was everything we needed for 4 nights. The cottage was lovely, it had plenty of books and board games to play if you wanted and a nice enclosed garden. They had everything you need in the kitchen and the bed was so comfy. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely try and stay there

Short break at Badger's Den

On the whole we enjoyed our stay at Badger's Den. We found it cosy, warm and clean. Although "compact", we thought the online photos made it look smaller than it actually was and despite the fact that dogs were allowed at the property, we found no evidence of them. If we are being really picky, a cloth for wiping down the kitchen work surfaces would have been useful. Also, the information sent to us said the drive to the property was well lit but, although there were lights there, they didn't seem to be working.

Lovely cosy cottage for a winter break

Cottage perfect for two. Had everything needed, with good bathroom and comfy bed. Road quite busy and not great for walking dog from the house. Further to walk to shops than expected, but good local pubs and beaches nearby.

Comfortable cottage

A comfortable, clean cottage. Excellent location. As others have mentioned very small fridge/freezer. This could be a real off pointing point to some . For example for people with poor mobility, people who suffer with back problems, the elderly. No extras a welcome pack would be appreciated. The patio needs tidying up. A gate to completely secure the garden from the driveway.

Badgers den Heacham

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage which was very well equipped. There was a pleasant enclosed garden. The only issue we encountered was the small inaccessible fridge in the otherwise well appointed kitchen. Feel it would have been better served with a full size larder fridge and perhaps a small countertop freezer. Also the access to the property was obtained via a really narrow gated entrance which was difficult to get in and out of onto a busy road.

Doggie paradise.

Badgers den norfolk hideaway,as the name suggests it's a real hideaway cottage.Tucked away in it's own secure grounds,the dogs loved it.Pity the gardens were unloved,but I realise you can't keep on top of it when you have guests staying.Ongoing roadworks on the road running past the cottage did not spoil what was a very enjoyable stay.

badgers den

A beautiful cottage set in a wonderful village...great for our dog as the garden was totally enclosed....the one downside for me was the silly fridge...you had to get on your hands and knees to get out what little you could get in....did not spoil the stay....we are thinking of going back next year and bringing our own fridge.....excellent stay...thanks...mick

Great little den

Badgers Den was situated about 20 minutes walk from the beaches and about 10 minutes from the 2 local pubs. The cottage was extremely comfortable and the decor and furnishings were of a high standard. It was perfect for the 2 of us and our 2 small dogs. The garden was very secure and gave peace of mind that we could let the dogs loose. The only complaint I would have and it's a small one, just like the fridge, it could have been a bit bigger. All in we had a great stay and would recomend Badgers Den, we will certainly return

A lovely base for exploring north Norfolk

The bungalow was very comfortable and made an excellent base for going out to explore each day. We had our two greyhounds with us and they had a great time exploring the gardens, and it was particularly nice having the parking within the enclosed area meaning we could go to and from the car without having to ensure we didn't accidentally let the dogs out in the process. Even though it was warm when we visited the rooms stayed relatively cool and the little conservatory was a peaceful place to sit with a cold drink in the evening. The fridge is quite small (we used it mainly as a drinks fridge) so don't stock up on food for your whole stay before you arrive! There is a new very large Lidl close by on the main road and a big Tesco in Hunstanton so it's easy to shop on a day to day basis. If you are a light sleeper and don't want to rise with the dawn light, you may want to bring some earplugs as there are cockerels living nearby. The wifi signal was strong with two options being given and we never had problems with the actual wifi connection, but the underlying internet could be a bit twitchy in the late afternoons particularly which affects things like Netflix connectivity but it was generally fine later in the evening. We consistently got 4G connections on our phones so that provided a good back up for times when the internet was down, if we needed to research the next day's activities. One warning for dog owners - the property is fully enclosed as advertised, but in some places (between this property and the adjacent holiday let which is in effect on the same plot) the fence is only 4 foot high which was fine for us but if your dog needs a 6 foot fence to keep them in, this is not the place for you.

Great little cottage.

Great cottage especially as a dog owner due to large secure garden and very private.. Lovely walks to the local beaches. Quiet little pubs serving good food and a local small store and takeaways. A short drive from Hunstanton which offers more shops and a great dog friendly beach just along the coast.
