Greyhound Cottage , Sculthorpe, Norfolk

A warm and cosy character cottage found in a peaceful village location, Greyhound Cottage is a super holiday retreat for both staying in and for getting out and about exploring beautiful North Norfolk, coastal and inland, be it on foot, bike or car.

Once upon a time this delightful cottage was the village pub, The Greyhound. It still has a cellar and a snug to remind you of its former past, but otherwise you really wouldn't know. Decorated in soft pastel colours, comfortably furnished in a contemporary style, with modern filament lightbulbs lighting some of the rooms, the cottage has an easy, relaxing feel throughout. On entering the front door you are welcomed by a spacious sitting room with a wood burning stove. To one side of the sitting room is an equally roomy dining room; perfect for friends and family to enjoy a meal together. On the other side, a few steps up from the sitting room, a cosy snug provides another wood burning stove, desk and the L-shaped sofa is the place to be if you want to quietly read, need to work or study. The modern fitted country-style kitchen is very well-equipped with everything you need if you like to cook and want to sample some of the wonderful produce found locally. For those who prefer to eat out, and don't wish to drive, you can pop over the road and enjoy a meal at the bistro restaurant, The Aviator. When it's time to retire for the day, upstairs you will find three bedrooms (a stunning split level master super-king suite, a second super-king bedroom with twin option, and a bunk room) along with two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite to the master bedroom. Outside, you have a choice of seating areas; a picket fenced courtyard garden immediately outside the kitchen, and an enclosed landscaped gravel, bark and flower meadow area with lovely views to the rear of the courtyard barn.

Greyhound Cottage is a great holiday property and will suit all manner of holidaymakers of all ages; couples, friends, families, birdwatchers, walkers, cyclists, dog owners, beach lovers ...... just anyone who is looking for a relaxing Norfolk 'hideaway' to escape to for a short or longer break at any time of the year.

Additional Information:
Two well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge). Please note gardens are enclosed but picket fences at lowest are around one meter high.
There are numerous internal steps on the ground floor.
Bedroom two has a zip-and-link super-king bed, which can be made up as two single beds - please specify preferred option on booking.
A travel cot, two high chairs and a portable stair gate are available - please request on booking.
Duvets and pillows are synthetic.
There is a right of way in the rear courtyard, principally used by neighbours to put out their waste bins each Friday.

Perfect for our family
We wanted a cosy place to celebrate Christmas early as we couldn’t meet over the Christmas period. This was a perfect place for grandparents, parents and 2 teenagers to meet. The cottage was full of character and everything we wanted was provided. We arrived on the coldest day of the year and it was a little chilly, but as soon as the log burner was lit it was snuggly warm. It was perfect to open presents, all cosy together, and look outside to the frosty trees. The owners had decorated with two Christmas trees so it was just as we imagined. Perfect.
