Whether you want to bring your dog with you, have homecooked meals in front of the TV or enjoy added extras such as a hot tub or a swimming pool, there is accommodation to suit everyone in Norfolk. You can choose to stay in a pine lodge in the middle of the forest, a little cottage in the heart of a quaint village, or a house overlooking the sea, and Titchwell on the north Norfolk coast is a lovely place to choose for coastal lovers, especially if you want to feel like a local.
The village of Titchwell is very small and quaint with only about 100 residents, so a stay here will really make you feel like a part of the parish, and you might even make a few friends! Renting accommodation in this charming settlement is perfect for a quiet seaside break away from the bigger resorts of Cromer and Great Yarmouth, and you can relax in your surroundings, taking gentle coastal walks every day and visiting Titchwell Marsh.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds site Titchwell Marsh is a nature reserve and a stunning area of freshwater and salt marsh that is also home to a sandy beach and an area of woodland. If you are a keen birdwatcher or just love to be surrounded in nature, then a trip here is a must if staying in self-catering accommodation in Titchwell. The Norfolk coastal area is also excellent for walks with dogs s.o do bring your best four-legged friends with you.
For day trips from the village, the seaside resort of Hunstanton is about five miles away and is great to take children to enjoy its beaches, plus there are some lovely Victorian squares, a fairground, a seal sanctuary and amusement arcades for the whole family to enjoy. Another day trip to be had from Titchwell is to Brancaster which is only one mile from the village and features a shipwreck from the 1940s on its sandy beach.
Titchwell has a parish church and a friendly pub that is lovely to settle down in after a day of exploring your surroundings. If you are looking for a holiday where you can completely unwind and take in the fresh country air in a self-catering cottage of your choosing, then this part of Norfolk might be perfect for you and your loved ones. You can take daily trips along the coastline and surrounding walking trails, perfect for if you want to bring the pet pooch along too, and you can just relax in your accommodation with a good book in the evenings. Day trips can be taken for when you feel like a more bustling atmosphere, but after a busy day of exploring, you can come back to the comfort of quiet Titchwell to enjoy a good meal or watch a film with your nearest and dearest in your lovely holiday home.
