Fred's Cottage is excellently equipped with just about everything you could wish for, even down to a bath for the baby! The property is well furnished and comfortable and Briston is a very good central village to access the North Norfolk coast and the beautiful town of Holt, it also has its own bakers and butchers plus supermarkets - so everything on the door step. The only downside was the noise from the local pub at closing time, and the small garden. Would certainly stay here again.
Holt 4 miles; Fakenham 10 miles; Sheringham 10 miles; Dereham 16 miles.
The large village of Briston is situated in North Norfolk and offers an excellent local store, a village post office, a good bakery and a superb butcher's shop, in addition to two pubs, a sports playing field and a large village green. Located in a wonderfully central position, the village provides a good base from which to explore the surrounding area, with the historic Georgian market town of Holt, with its tempting tea rooms and enjoyable shops just a five minute drive away and Blakeney coastal nature reserve, with its fantastic bird spotting opportunities, just a 15 minute drive away. So whether it’s boat trips and seal spotting around the coast, a day exploring some of the many historic towns in the area or a day at the seaside resort of Sheringham, this lovely location has lots to see and do.
