About this property
Located at the heart of Burnham Overy Staithe, one of North Norfolk’s prettiest, unspoilt coastal villages, Sea Pie is a brick and flint built end terrace cottage, a mere two-minute walk from the harbour where you can swim, boat, kayak and paddleboard, and less than a minute walk from the exceptional village pub.
Thoughtfully curated to blend traditional country furniture with contemporary nautical styling, the interiors at Sea Pie are in harmony with the beautiful nature that surrounds it. Organised over three floors, the ground floor boasts underfloor heating and comprises of a large open plan living environment where natural light spills in to this area through a lantern roof. The well-equipped kitchen provides all that enthusiastic chefs need to create a delicious spread made from the delicious produce available right on the doorstep. Norfolk produce available locally includes mussels, fish, asparagus, eggs, and samphire, depending on the season. Seating for eight guests is offered by the large farmhouse table with bench seating. Gather together to make lasting holiday memories as a fresh coastal breeze brings the outside in through the french doors. Sumptuous sofas make a lovely place to nestle into to plan the day ahead over a coffee. A separate snug features a comfortable L-shaped sofa - ideal for reading a book or enjoying a film. Conveniently located on this ground floor is bedroom four, which hosts a 4ft double bed. Served by a next door shower room, this is an excellent option for any less mobile guests, or those guests who prefer a bit more privacy. Upstairs on the first floor, two bedrooms are presented. Bedroom two hosts a double bed, with twin beds available in bedroom three. These rooms are served by a tiled family bathroom providing a large double ended bath with shower over. The second floor comprises entirely of the master accommodation, hosting a king-size bed with a dormer window framing distant sea views, and an en-suite bath room with additional double ended bath. Outside, the fully-enclosed patio and lawned area to the rear of the cottage is south facing, becoming a delightful little suntrap to be enjoyed on long summer days. Outside garden furniture is ideal for al fresco dining, with the added extra of plenty of space to hang wet suits, or store paddleboards after a late-night paddle.

In a great location for days out along the North Norfolk coast, especially the beaches at Brancaster, Holkham, and Wells which are 10–20 minutes away. Other attractions are within an hour's drive. But make sure to catch a sunset at the local quayside as too. There's plenty of space for two families, especially given the large kitchen, multiple bathrooms, and car park outside the property. Everyone could come together for food or find moments of peace after a long day. Electric fans were welcome on warmer days. It's handy having the local pub next door for drinks or dinner (which was good). Just be aware that's it is literally on the door step, so with the windows open on a hot night, you'll hear all the hustle and bustle till closing time — more of an issue for kids than adults. Last point: Norfolk Hideaways solved a couple of issues we had within the same day. Great service like this meant we could just keep enjoying the holiday.
