Eccles-on-Sea is a small, quiet unspoiled coastal village on the east Norfolk coast, nestled between Happisburgh and Sea Palling. The beach at Eccles is sandy, with the sea one of the cleanest in Britain, and this spot is ideal for walking the dog as it has no summer restrictions. The village of Happisburgh is 2 miles away, with its red and white candy-striped lighthouse, and Sea Palling, 1.8 miles away, has many facilities, including a Jet Ski centre. The Norfolk Broads are also close by, with Hickling just a few miles away being the largest broadland village, complete with a National Nature Reserve. East Ruston Gardens, 1.5 miles from Eccles-on-Sea, is a must for gardeners, with 18 acres of stunning gardens. The fine city of Norwich is 18 miles away, offering a beautiful Norman cathedral and castle, along with many good shops and restaurants.

Beautiful open outlook across fields with grazing horses, donkeys and guineafowl, and fascinating local history. The friendly owners made us feel very much at home, and for us it was a perfect base for exploring the nature reserves of the Brecks.

It was very nice place to stay an the owner of the cottage was very helpful. The dog was very friendly and would come round to see us most days. It was very clean and that was the 4th time we have been back. We love it there.
