There is nothing like going on holiday and feeling like you are visiting your second home. Self-catering lodgings can make you feel like the accommodation you are renting is yours, as you cook your favourite meals, enjoy a good film and have far more space than a hotel room could ever give you. There are many kinds of holiday home available to rent all over Norfolk to suit your needs, from dog-friendly cottages to sprawling bungalows overlooking the sea. If you are unsure of where exactly to stay, then why not consider the coastal village of Weybourne.
Set on the North Norfolk coastline, Weybourne is a complete haven for lovers of the great outdoors. It is surrounded by woodland, heathland and fields, and is located within the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. If you enjoy coastal and countryside walks, plus are keen on bird-watching, wildlife spotting and photography, then getting away from it all and visiting Weybourne would be ideal for you.
The village itself is home to a shop and a pub, which as well as beverages also serves hot food for the days where you don’t fancy cooking in your cottage kitchen and a fire to cosy up by during the winter months. Weybourne also features a 15th century Grade II listed parish church of All Saints which is a prominent presence in the settlement, and being on the coast, it also has a beach. The beach is pebbly which might not be ideal for children, but it is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and is lovely for a stroll.
Just three miles away is the larger seaside resort of Sheringham which features a high street with lots of shops, pubs and restaurants, plus it is home to a sandy beach. A visit to this lovely town is definitely worth it if you are residing in Weybourne and want to do some day trips.
Another place to visit on a day trip is Kelling, a charming little village that is home to a tea room, book shop and gallery telling tales of the area’s history of smuggling. There are also plenty of walking paths and nature trails in the surrounding areas up to Muckleburgh Hill for if you want to enjoy some brilliant views of your surroundings.
Weybourne is home to quaint cottages overlooking the sea or nestled further within the village itself and is a great place in which to stay for a quieter holiday with loved ones. If you love going on long country walks and just having a bit of peace and quiet, then this part of North Norfolk would be ideal for you. After a day of soaking up the countryside you can come back to your accommodation to relax in the bath or sit on the sofa with a book before having a good night’s sleep in the cosy bed before getting up and doing it again! A holiday like this will be one to remember and you may find yourself coming back to Weybourne for more.
