About this property
Located in the coastal village of Brancaster, Seahorses is a super ground floor apartment in the iconic Dormy House, which is a former country house hotel, now divided into quality apartments. With cool Scandinavian-style interiors offering easy, restful one-level living, this hideaway is only a ten minute walk away from Brancaster's glorious beach.
Seahorses has a simple, calming and rather luxurious vibe with just a hint of a coastal theme, and is the perfect place for one, two or three adults seeking a quiet bolt hole to escape to for a total chill out break. Or an active holiday - be it walking, cycling, exploring locally or further afield. Well laid out, comfortable and well-equipped, this single storey apartment has two bedrooms (a king-size and small double for single occupancy), a spacious bathroom with the choice of a bath and a large walk-in shower, and an adjoining cloakroom with further washing facilities. The sitting room is a lovely place to relax, and the smart fitted kitchen has the convenience of its own dining area. Dormy House has a communal laundry with washers and dryers available for guests to use on a first-come first-served basis.
Located just off the beach road in Brancaster, you have the advantage of being tucked away from the busy hustle and bustle of this popular coastal village, and can enjoy the peace of a large communal garden if you don 't feel like going too far. Brancaster Stores and Post Office houses a brilliant deli and coffee shop, as well as stocking plenty of every day goods. Brancaster Village Hall hosts Bar 71 where good times, drinks, friends and fun are served. It is the social heart of Brancaster village offering a licensed, family friendly bar with the cheapest drinks along the coast, and a calendar of monthly events including live music, discos, quiz nights, bingo, skittles and poker tournaments. Adjacent is 5 acres of playing fields, including two full size goals, a children’s playground along with equipment designed to help coordination and balance, and a family area with picnic tables. There are also new tennis courts. Brancaster offers something for everyone!

We have very much enjoyed our stay at Seahorses. The apartment is clean and comfortable, everything we need. The welcome hamper was a very nice touch. Central to all places that we wanted to visit. Brancaster beach nearby which is stunning. We will be back.

Very comfortable and homely apartment. Love the walks along the beach to see the seals. Can recommend Drove Orchard Farm Shop and Thornham Deli. We loved Holkham Hall and hired bikes there. Can recommend Wells-next-the-Sea and Holt. Lots of little independent shops. Third time to Norfolk and we will be back!
