Description
Midthatch is a two bedroom thatched cottage, the middle of three. It is dog and people friendly, relaxed and well-appointed. The cottage backs onto a large arable field beyond which sand dunes stand like ramparts against the North Sea. From the top of these, you can look north towards Happisburgh and its lighthouse, and Winterton-on-Sea to the south. Located in the seaside village of Sea Palling (handy for the Norfolk Broads) dogs are welcomed almost everywhere. This small village boasts a splendid Blue Flag beach, safe swimming, a village Post Office and fresh fish stall.
Midthatch, originally a fisherman’s cottage and bakery, dates from the late 18th-century. It is a cosy property is relaxed, well-appointed and dog-friendly. The cottage sleeps 4 adults in two comfortable double rooms, has parking for two cars and lies 50 yards from a public footpath which crosses farmland and dunes to sandy beaches where dogs can run free throughout the year.
