Flagstaff comprises four beautiful holiday properties arranged around a generous lawn and parking area, within a walled garden, there is the East Wing and West Wing of the original house and the Cottage and Boathouse the boat house which was a clever and generous conversion. 

The Boathouse is right on a sandy river creek, in the renowned coastal village of Burnham Overy Staite, close to Burnham Market and Wells-next-the-sea, and a wonderful coastal walk away from the open white sands of Holkham Beach and of course Holkham Hall and park itself.  

Most people arriving at Flagstaff will approach Burnham Overy Staithe along the wonderful A149 North Norfolk Coast road or from Burnham Market - the renowned market town, just inland from the Cottage - once in the village guests will turn towards the creek, seeing a view over boats towards the sea, before turning left into Flagstaff through a wooden gate.  Once you arrive, Flagstaff envelopes you with its welcome, there is plenty of room to park, a lovely garden shared between the four properties and of course the river creek is on your doorstep, with the walk to the wide sandy beaches at Holkham starting a few yards from your door.

The immediate surroundings of the Cottage include opportunities for dinghy sailing, walking, bird watching, and of course utter peace and quiet!  Only 500 feet away is a pub called The Hero Bar and Restaurant - perfect for a quick walk to food and drink! North Norfolk is renowned for its natural beauty, stunning coastal scenery and sophisticated towns and villages.
