The pine kitchen table seats 8 allowing for those cosy family meals and banter around the table.

Living-room

Please Note:
Due to the nature of the design of Samphire Cottage, wheelchair users may find that access is difficult.
Although we welcome dogs, we do request that they are kept off the furniture and not allowed upstairs.
All bed linen is provided but we request that guests bring their own towels.
Due to the timber structure of the cottage, we gratefully request that smoking is confined to the garden.
The garden is of a good size, and completely enclosed with fencing, and hedging in parts which is perfect for children and dogs. There is outside seating and BBQ, with front and rear covered verandas in case it’s too sunny or a little too wet to be outside.
Samphire Cottage is a semi-detached cottage and its setting is truly unique. You can’t possibly stay any closer to the famous National Trust’s Stiffkey Marshes than this unless you were to be in a tent! It is about a minute’s walk from the coastal path and a lovely ancient woodland walk which separates the land from the coastline and that famous marsh. Stiffkey salt marsh comprises sandy creeks and beaches beyond and leads to the West side of Blakeney Point and that colony of seals accessible on foot at low tide.
The Stiffkey Village shop which is a haven of goodies including freshly baked bread serves fresh coffee. The Red Lion Pub is just a short walk away and is a free house with bundles of character, old beams, brick floors and roaring open fires. In winter it is a great place to warm up and enjoy seasonal local seafood.
Nearby places to see include Wells-next-the-Sea, Blakeney Harbour, Sheringham and Holt. A local attraction not to miss if you don’t get round to visiting Blakeney Point on foot would be the Seal Trip by boat. If Stately Homes interest you, the closest would be Mannington Gardens, Felbrigg and Blickling.
