One of the best places we have stayed in
By Trevor, Carol and Lottie (Jack Russell) on 30-May-2026This 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.
