“Beautiful clean well maintained cottage in a quiet area of Heacham.”

The cottage provides plenty of utensils and crockery. The bed was comfortable and enough space in the main bedroom. The front garden is secure which ensures a safe area for a dog. Parking directly outside the cottage was very useful. Excellent communication with the owners David and Caroline prior to our stay and we were aware they could be contacted should we required anything or had any queries. We had a great say and will definitely be back.

“The cottage is excellent all round.”

Just 2 points. The cooker door doesn’t easily open/close and could get worse. The toilet seat doesn’t fit !

- Philip, July 2025

Hi Mr Cunliffe, thank you for the feedback. I have been at the cottage this week and fixed the toilet seat (it had slipped and needed tightening) and the cooker door needed the screws tightened. Hope to see you return one day David Property Owner

“Ery clean and comfortable cottage.”

Everything we needed was provided and in a good position for the shops etc. The only problem I found the downstairs toilet too low.

“Lovely cottage, great peaceful location”

- John, June 2024
Edward June 2024

“The property was excellent and our stay most enjoyable.”

the only thing which would have been nice was a mop or queazy as when entering in the rain especially with a dog, no means of wiping up the wet floor, as if anyone staying this week will find out as the force act is for rain most of the week. it would have been nice to find a visiter's book, only small things, but overall BRILLIANT.

Andrea July 2023

“The Cottage had everything we needed for our stay in Heacham.”

Well equipped for all our needs, excellent broadband, off road parking, comfortable beds and good shower. The area is ideal for the Royal coast, a walk to the beach and short drive to many other attractions.

- Andrea, July 2023
Martin June 2023

The owners clearly care for the property and ensured we had all we need through excellent communication. Thank you.

Terry June 2023

“Immaculate with lots of everyday necessities awaiting us.”

Close to beaches, shops, pub and fish and chip shop. Sunday roast at Fox and Hounds (5 minute walk away) best we’ve ever had. Quite small for 4 adults but ideal for 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 small children. Would cone back but dog was not happy with pebbled secure front garden. Overall it was a lovely cottage but prefer grass lawned garden

- Terry, June 2023
Carol May 2023

“The owner was very helpful and kind.”

- Carol, May 2023
Ed March 2023

“A lovely cottage with a nice garden.”

The position and surrounding areas are great. Plenty of eating choices, including Chinese and Indian. A bonus for us would have been a washing machine instead of a dishwasher bit it was very comfortable and warm. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would go back.

- Ed, March 2023
Jacqui September 2022

Maurice September 2022

“Tawny Cottage was as described on Sykes website.”

Exceptionally clean & well laid out. We where lucky with the weather so where able to enjoy a glass of two in the front garden at the table & chairs supplied. The property is in a quite location. Would book again if looking to stay in the Hunstanton area in the future.

Miles June 2022

“This was a splendid property, spotlessly clean , beautifully furnished and very near to shops and pubs , and the parking space was a real bonus.”

.We had a very enjoyable stay apart from the weather ! Which no one can do anything about. Thank you

“Clean and well- equipped little cottage.”

Friendly neighbours and local shops - really enjoyed our stay. Well situated to explore the N Norfolk coast.

- Patricia, May 2022
Jenny April 2022

“A lovely, clean, warm, welcoming cottage with dedicated parking.”

We did lots of walking and found Tawny Cottage to be centrally located. Compact but loads of room for two of us. Shops, pubs and an excellent Chinese restaurant nearby.

- Jenny, April 2022
Sheila April 2022

“Tawny cottage was without doubt the best equipped holiday rental we have ever used.”

Everything needed for proper cooking was provided in the kitchen, I couldn’t think of anything we needed that was not there. The whole cottage was spotlessly clean, comfortably warm & very cosy. An enclosed garden & dedicated parking space helped to make this a perfect place for a holiday

- Sheila, April 2022
Janet March 2022

“Very attractive and clean cottage with refurbished bathroom and well equipped.”

Compact, but ideal for two people. Parking so easy and front garden ideal with a small dog. Heacham is an unusual but charactful place with bakers, Tesco , pubs and takeaways near to the cottage. I would highly recommend

- Janet, March 2022
Arthur January 2022

“A fantastic stay clean warm and great location.”

- Arthur, January 2022
Wendy December 2021

“Beautiful cottage with all amenities.”

The cottage was lovely and warm, with a well equipped kitchen. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the bedrooms were well laid out. The enclosed garden on the front was ideal for our dog. The off-road parking was a real bonus as it would’ve been a nightmare to try and park on the street. Would definitely return to this cottage.

- Wendy, December 2021
John T December 2021

“The excellent farm shop and cafe at the lavender farm is not mentioned in the details.”

The Fox and Hounds pub does not look promising from the outside but it provides a first rate Sunday lunch. The bus service to Kings Lynn and Hunstanton runs every 15 minutes from the end of the road.

- John T, December 2021
Joanna November 2021

“We had a lovely stay at Tawny Cottage.”

Everything was as anticipated. Instructions clear and accurate. The cottage was a good temperature on arrival and the heating really easy to control. It was really good to have the dedicated parking space as the street is not wide and all the parking taken most evenings. So the fenced space in front of the cottage was so obviously to do with the cottage no one else was going to use it. We walked to The West Norfolk for a meal which was good value and the staff friendly and welcoming. We didn't get around to sampling the fish and chips form the near by chippy! Tawny Cottage is in a great location for exploring this bit of the Norfolk coast which was beautiful despite the low temperatures. Wild Ken worth a visit and the thousands of Pink Footed Geese leaving the Wash at 7am seen from Snettisham sea wall just magical. Welney is only 45 minutes away. A great place to stay.

About the location

HEACHAM

Hunstanton 2.5 miles; King's Lynn 15 miles.

Heacham is a large village located on the West Norfolk coastline, on The Wash, boasting a lovely family friendly sandy beach, ideal for jet skis, kitesurfing and windsurfing. The village has many cottages built from Carstone, which is a feature of this part of Norfolk, and also offers a good range of shops, restaurants and country pubs. Within walking distance is Caley Hall, home to Norfolk Lavender with its sweet smelling lavender fields, and Heacham Hall, owned by John Rolfe, who brought his young bride Pocahontas to England to live at the hall (in the local church of St Mary you will find a memorial to her). This part of Norfolk is renowned for its abundance of birdlife throughout the year, with several local RSPB sites, while within easy driving distance is Pensthorpe Nature Reserve and Gardens, as seen on BBC's Springwatch. Nearby Hunstanton offers traditional seaside entertainment including a sealife centre, while The Queen's Sandringham Estate is just a 15 minute drive.
