Description
Resting in the picturesque village of Heacham in Norfolk is this superb, terraced cottage, Bay Tree Cottage.
Set over two floors and sleeping up to four guests, Bay Tree Cottage is a well-designed and beautifully presented accommodation, perfect for families with lots of space to relax amongst the comfortable furnishings.
The cosy village sets a homely tone from the outset and reflects a warming nature that is continued on the inside.
Entering through the main entrance, you will be welcomed by a lovely sitting room, with leather seating, a woodburning stove and a fireplace that echoes nothing but character.
The dining room hosts a country feel with wooden tables and chairs, making a great place to enjoy breakfast while escaping into your favourite book.
A spacious kitchen is a breath of fresh air, carrying a cream overcoat, and fully equipped to meet your needs.
Tucked into the corner, you will also find a warmly tiled cloakroom for an added effect.
Follow a winding staircase to the next floor and a double bedroom awaits with an almost seaside theme, elevated by a vibrant feature wall, and soothing colours.
A twin room neighbours this, with a bright seaside theme, and views of the garden.
Lastly, a family bathroom is laced with charming wall panels, and includes everything you need to unwind after a long day.
Head outside of the cottage to discover a flavourful patio area; a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine and admire the natural garden features.
For extra space, resting at the back of the property is a delightful self-contained hut with an elegant shower room, this is available from May to September for daytime use only.
Explore your local surroundings, with a short stroll into the local village where you will find a good selection of pubs and restaurants, perfect for those evenings where you don’t feel like cooking.
Wander through the glorious 100 acres of Norfolk Lavender fields where you will also find an on-site restaurant, children’s farm and a gift shop, perfect for picking up a souvenir.
For a fun-filled family day, head to Heacham South Beach, where you can beachcombe the shores, build sandcastles with the little ones or soak up the sun with your favourite book.
For those who have brought their clubs, visit the excellent 18-hole golf course at Heacham Manor Golf Club, which also boasts a boutique spa AA rosette dining and bars.
Next stop is Hunstanton, where you can enjoy a picnic in the lush Esplanade Gardens, wander the pier where you will find a good selection of family entertainment, take to the waters with a good selection of watersports on offer at Hunstanton Watersports or treat the kids to a visit to the Sea Life Centre.

What guests are saying
Arrived on a wet and blustery evening.
Cottage soon warmed up with heating on. Very comfortable lounge, spacious dining room. Well appointed kitchen with plentiful equipment. The main bedroom was comfortable and spacious. Twin room was smaller but perfectly adequate with full size single beds. Huge bathroom with lovely size walk in shower. Parking directly outside property was never an issue. Great location in the village, about 15 min walk to the beach, 5 min walk to shop and various takeway/restaurants. Would gladly return
The cottage was very comfortable and the decorating and soft furnishings were all very well thought out and in keeping with a seaside cottage .
Its very accessible from the main routes and the beaches at Heacham are lovely The enclosed garden was one of the main features we booked for as we had 2 dogs with us , this didn't disappoint and felt confident they couldn't escape. The only feedback I would give and to benefit all is that every bottle of cleaning product available in cupboards was empty and there was no charger to charge the hoover up , however I did manage to find this by going into the garden shed . Also as a dog friendly cottage maybe invest in a better hoover as it wasn't at all adequate for dog hairs. Some guests maybe happy to not clean after their stay but I prefer to try and at least leave clean and tidy upon departure
Myself and my Mum have stayed in a number of Sykes cottages over the last couple of years but it was a big disappointment to us at Bay Tree Cottage and is in need of a deep clean.
Cobwebs in lots of corners,under light shades and in corners of most windows that were overdue an outside clean I might say. Most cupboards in the kitchen smelled fusty when opened as did the cramped back bedroom with 2 single beds.But the most horrifying thing was when I stripped my single bed on the morning of checkout.The duvet I had been sleeping under had been soiled badly through to the other side of it and was only fit for the dustbin NOT to cover over and use again.Single quilts are so reasonably priced that this is totally unacceptable!! The garden was very unkempt. lots of bare patches on grass,untidy borders and dirty table and chairs that we just couldn’t enjoy a glass of wine at in the evening. We feel we paid a high price for a very second rate cottage and Sykes as a company need to be inspecting their cottages periodically to see that customers are getting what they pay for!
