The Norfolk coastline is stunning, with golden sandy beaches that stretch for miles in both directions. Brancaster is a fantastic example that you can easily enjoy when you stay at Crosswaye. The comfortable bungalow has recently been updated to provide a high standard of self-catering accommodation for up to four people. It is very popular with couples, families and friends who like that it is in a quiet location yet close to places like Wells-next-the-Sea, Holkham, Holme, Hunstanton, the Titchwell RSPB Reserve and The Wash Nature Reserve. It is a five-minute walk to The Ship Inn village pub, and a mile to Brancaster beach and dunes (twenty minutes or less on foot or bike).

If this is your first holiday to the Northumberland coast, then it is unlikely to be your last! 30-miles of unspoiled coastline feature white sands and clear waters, with the odd clifftop castle, like nearby Bamburgh Castle, to remind you that this peaceful region was once fiercely protected. Beadnell is a small, welcoming village with a lovely bay that rarely feels busy. Opposite the village church and green, Tickle Cottage is an 18th Century former worker's home that has been sympathetically updated to offer comfortable accommodation for four people in two bedrooms. A wood burner, private courtyard and wonderfully romantic master bedroom all make it a favourite with couples and families.
