- Old Hunstanton
- Holkham
- Wells-next-the-Sea
- Brancaster
- Burnham Overy Staithe

Some of these spots may have restrictions in place at certain times of year, so it’s always worth checking signs when you arrive! 📌

Once the station house of Burnham Market’s long-lost railway, now reimagined into one of the coast’s most stylish stays. Think: slow mornings with coffee in the courtyard, short strolls into the village, oysters and cocktails as the sun dips low, and evenings curled up in one of eight characterful rooms. Whether you’re hopping off for a weekend of wine bars and walks, or checking in for a longer stretch of coastal calm, this is where you’ll want to land.

Book your platform to paradise ✨

October half-term is calling. Where days feel slower, skies flare with colour, and little adventures linger in the crisp autumn air. Think beach walks followed by hot chocs, pub lunches beside roaring fires, games in cosy living rooms, and evenings that end with stargazing from the garden.

Welcome to Bishop’s Boats 🦭

Operating on the North Norfolk coast since 1965 and departing daily from Morston Quay, Bishop’s Boats offers scenic seal-spotting adventures to Blakeney Point, home to one of England’s largest Grey seal colonies.

The trip begins with a gentle journey across the water, passing through tidal creeks, salt marshes and open coastline as Blakeney Point comes into view.

Out on the water, there’s plenty to spot - from seals swimming alongside the boat, to groups basking in the sun on the sandbanks. It’s a chance to see these remarkable animals in their natural environment, whilst also taking in one of the most beautiful stretches of the North Norfolk coast.

With the fresh sea air, ever-changing views and the occasional very curious (and very cute) seal swimming alongside, it’s an unparalleled experience that feels quintessentially Norfolk.

And one that’s been enjoyed by generations of visitors for over 60 years!

And when the day winds down? A dip in the hot tub beneath Norfolk’s starry skies.

There’s nowhere quite like Holkham. Nowhere at all. A historical house nestled within 25,000 acres of parkland, rippled beaches and pine forests, here lies a place you can spend an entire day and still not experience it all.

Explore the stunning state rooms and grand glass houses, stop by the coffee shop before heading to the woodland playground spot, hire bikes, swing across the treetops and take endless videos of the memories you make. Walk amongst the dunes, wander around the walled garden and take in the beauty of Holkham’s diverse landscapes. This truly is the gem of North Norfolk.
