Description
Burnham Market 0.7 miles.
6 Gravel Hill is a mid-terrace cottage nestled just outside the much-loved village of Burnham Market, Norfolk.
This pet-friendly retreat is ideal for couples, families or friends looking to explore the coast and countryside, with off-road parking, a toasty woodburning stove and a courtyard garden complete with barbecue.
Arriving at the property, guests are greeted by a neatly bricked exterior and gravelled front garden, with a peaceful seating area that catches the morning sun.
Step inside and follow the tiled flooring through the ground floor, where the flow of the cottage begins to unfold.
The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged, with wooden countertops and contemporary fixtures that invite you to prepare fresh local produce from nearby farm shops.
Everything you need is at hand—from the electric oven and hob to the fridge/freezer and dishwasher—making longer stays feel effortless.
The ground-floor shower room, tucked just off the hallway, offers a walk-in shower, basin, WC, heated towel rail and washing machine, blending practicality with comfort.
Gather in the dining room, where seating for eight offers space to share stories over supper or plan the next day’s outings.
The sitting room is a welcoming space, anchored by an exposed brick fireplace and woodburning stove.
Sink into the warmth after windswept walks or coastal rambles, with a film on the TV or a book in hand.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are restful and full of charm.
The double room offers a peaceful retreat, while the twin features a Velux window that fills the space with soft daylight and exposed beams that nod to the cottage’s heritage.
Original wooden doors throughout the interior add character and continuity.
The first-floor shower room is finished with a walk-in shower, basin, WC and a light-up mirror, offering a refreshing start or end to your day.
Outside, the courtyard garden is a private haven.
As the charcoals heat up on the barbecue, settle into the seating area and enjoy pretty views over the surrounding countryside, the nearby church spire and across to the windmill.
Whether you’re sipping morning coffee or watching the sunset, there’s a spot to enjoy the sun at any time of day.
Set within the Norfolk Coast National Landscape, the cottage is perfectly placed for exploring.
A short stroll leads to a well-stocked shop, and a traditional pub nearby serves great food with a proper local feel—popular with visitors and residents alike.
Burnham Market is within walking distance, offering cool restaurants, galleries and all things touristy.
From Burnham Overy Staithe, you can take the ferry—or walk—to Scolt Head Island, a beautifully kept beach once visited by Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Holkham Beach is another gem, with sweeping sands and pinewoods, and the coastal bus runs hourly, connecting Kings Lynn, Wells-next-the-Sea and Fakenham for easy days out without the car.
Whether you’re exploring nature reserves, dining out in style or simply soaking up the peace of the garden, 6 Gravel Hill offers a memorable base for discovering the best of Norfolk.

What guests are saying
I have to agree with everything your previous reviewer "Steve" has said.
We arrived in light rain and it was a nightmare trying to unlock the very awkward key safe, having to kneel on a wet and muddy floor and having to carry things back and forth along a very muddy and slippery path to unload the car. By the end of a warm and sunny week, the bins lining the path were rather smelly and not pleasant to walk by. I would also add that I felt so vulnerable using the bathroom with a clear glass window and no blind in full view of numerous passers by and the people visiting the cemetery just a few feet away that we resorted to covering the window with tin foil! I would also add that there were no bedside tables in the main bedroom and consequently no bed side lamps and so I had to use a phone for light as I had to walk sideways along the very narrow gap between the end of the bed and radiator if a trip to the bathroom was required during the night. The first single bed in the second bedroom stuck out beyond the opened door and I lost count of how many times I walked in to the end of it leaving me with bruised and battered knees. The garden was awful - a patio of sorts with table and chairs but the rest just untidy gravel, empty pots, a couple of straggly plants and an air of being uncared for. We didn't feel like using it at all. We came back one day to find the garden gate wide open and obviously broken. The kitchen was well stocked although most people who rent self catering cook and an empty shelf or two for groceries would have been appreciated. We thought the 14 mugs and more (we stopped counting) was a little excessive for a cottage that sleeps four maximum! The cottage was clean, the living room could do with some fresh soft furnishings but in general l felt, rather unloved.
First impression was the muddy dirt track we had to use to reach the cottage, past lots of waste and recycling bins plus local flies!
Accessing the property was ridiculous, you have to get on your knees to enter the key safe as it’s so low to the ground. The property was clean inside. The wardrobe space was laughable, with just two narrow slits in the wall in the main bedroom, how on earth a family of four would manage? The main upstairs bathroom window had no means of privacy (no blind or obscure glass) leaving you exposed to the many walkers that used the path through the graveyard next to the cottage. It would have been nice to have a mirror in one of the bedrooms for getting ready etc. Lack of preparation space on kitchen surface and it might have been convenient if more than two dishwasher tabs had been left for us. Overall very dissatisfied with the property and will definitely not be returning or recommending to anyone.
Excellent stay, super location to explore the wider area of North Norfolk.
...all you need in a ten-minute walk into Burnham Market...beach 10 min drive, Holt, Holkham and Wells by the sea, 15 mins away by car....happy to recommend, we had a super 4-day stay, and would book again.
