Description

Violet Cottage Kelling

Violet Cottage is a part of The Old Dairy in Kelling — a classic Norfolk brick and flint building built in the 1850s to service the Kelling Estate but sympathetically restored to create a genuinely comfortable and characterful holiday home. The cottage is part of a small cluster of cottages in a peaceful village setting, but just minutes from the beautiful and varied North Norfolk Heritage Coast.



Kelling Beach
15 min walk
A wild, unspoilt shingle beach — one of Norfolk's finest for dogs and long walks. Accessible via beautiful off-road paths from the cottage.

Holt
5 min drive
A beautiful Georgian market town — brilliant independent restaurants, delis, antique shops and all the essentials. One of Norfolk's most loved towns.

Poppy Line Railway
10 min drive
The North Norfolk Railway runs steam and diesel trains between Sheringham and Holt — a wonderful family day out.

Blakeney Point
20 min drive
Take a boat trip to see the famous grey and common seal colony — one of Norfolk's most iconic wildlife experiences. Book ahead in summer.

Wells-next-the-Sea
25 min drive
Brilliant fish and chips at The Albatros, the famous coloured beach huts and beautiful tidal creeks. One of Norfolk's most charming coastal towns.

Cley Marshes
10 min drive
World-famous birdwatching reserve at Cley-next-the-Sea. One of the best places to spot rare migrants and waders in the UK.

Burnham Market
35 min drive
Norfolk's most fashionable village — boutique shops, excellent restaurants and the famous Hoste Arms. Worth the drive.

Holkham Hall
35 min drive
A magnificent Palladian mansion with 3,000 acres of parkland, a stunning beach and a beautiful walled garden. Don't miss Holkham Bay.

Sheringham
15 min drive
A traditional Norfolk seaside town with a lovely beach, great fish and chips, and the start of the Poppy Line Heritage SteamRailway.

The heart of the cottage is the open-plan kitchen-diner, with an Everhot stove and induction hob, a kitchen island and a dining table — bright, warm and well-equipped for everything from a simple breakfast to a proper dinner party. The sitting room opens onto the cottage garden through bi-fold doors. A separate snug with its own sofa and Smart TV is a much-loved feature, especially on rainy days. The downstairs shower room and WC is next door.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms: one cosy double overlooking the shared, inner courtyard garden, and one twin which overlooks the patio garden and communal lawns to the open fields. There is an additional bathroom on this floor, with bath and shower over, WC and sink.

Outside, the south-facing garden is secure for dogs and has beautiful open countryside views.

Thank you so much for another wonderful stay in your beautiful cottage. It is so well planned - you don't want for anything. Can't wait to come back.

One of the best places we have stayed in

By Trevor, Carol and Lottie (Jack Russell) on 30-May-2026

This is our 16th visit to the North Norfolk coast - we love the area, the countryside, beaches and villages to explore. Violet Cottage has to be one of the best places we have stayed in. We love the decor, how well equipped it is, the outdoor space and wonderful bi-fold doors. We love the relaxed feel about the cottage and hope to return next year.
