Muckledyke Cottage, Stiffkey, Norfolk

Located in the beautiful coastal village of Stiffkey, Muckledyke Cottage is a romantic, character brick and flint cottage showcasing original features blended with coastal inspired interiors. With the North Norfolk Coastal Path traversing the nearby saltmarsh, this hideaway boasts magnificent views that are visited by a plethora of wildlife throughout the seasons.

Nearly three hundred years old and undeniably compact, instantly welcoming Muckledyke Cottage feels cosy, warm and tranquil. The south facing sitting room enjoys views across the quintessential cottage gardens, to the open landscape beyond. With a feature fireplace hosting a wood burning stove, guests can nestle into the warmth of this room as the ambient light flickers. A charming farmhouse table is an idyllic spot for special fireside suppers made from the areas famed delectable local produce. The bespoke kitchen is fully fitted with hand made units, and offers all modern appliances. A useful adjoining utility room completes this floor.

Upstairs there are two naturally well-lit bedrooms available, served by a good-sized shower room. The master bedroom hosts a sumptuous double bed overlooking the manicured gardens to the front of the cottage, with twin beds offered by bedroom two. Beautifully appointed, these bedrooms have been curated using natural tones, with beds dressed luxurious goose-down duvets swathed in fine white linen. Deep restorative sleep awaits after a day spent exploring the big outdoors.

Outside, the garden at the rear of the cottage is a true delight. Sheltered and sunny, this is an idyllic place to dine al fresco and share conversation long into the evenings. Being fully enclosed, the garden is great for allowing supervised children and dogs to play safely.

Simply perfect for a small family, a couple, or friends, Muckledyke Cottage is consistently popular all year round. A five minute walk from the North Norfolk Coastal Path which runs alongside the salt marshes, this hideaway is a haven for sea and wetland birds, as well as an abundance of other wildlife.

Weekend break
Lovely little quirky cottage and a great location for exploring the area. Helpful resident neighbours, nice garden area if a little cluttered. The cottage is small, clean and comfortable as described. Recommend the local pub, The Red Lion, a 500 yd walk down into the village, good food and a good selection of beers and wines.

Lovely cottage
Our stay at Muckledyke Cottage was wonderful. Lovely, comfortable cottage with everything needed. The location is especially relaxing in January, when everything is so peaceful. The proximity of dog walks is hugely useful, too as our dog refuses to go anywhere apart from on a walk! Thank you for a really de-stressing escape in comfort.

Lovely character cottage in stiffkey.
Good points: Lovely cottage with original features. Just enough room for two adults and two young children. Sofa bed also very comfortable. Gardens Lovely. Nice location set back from road. Nice to have dishwasher and washing machine. a great base if you don't have kids. Bad points: not all that private as you can hear next door on both sides. A little cramped. Although garden was lovely found it difficult to relax as there in a dog often out in the comunical garden who was known for being aggressive to children. Although there was a private garden you have to walk past the communical garden to get to it - with two kids its a bit awkward. For that reason alone I wouldn't come back because of having young kids.

A very cosy cottage. Lovely and warm. Could do with a lighter duvet on bed in summer, but one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in. Great neighbour next door, we enjoyed lots of gardening conversations. Very convenient location as shop and pub so close, with walks from the door.
