Stiffkey, safe garden dog friendly, parking, spa/hot tub next to marsh local pub

Comfortable semi detached cottage next to the Stiffkey marsh. Large enclosed back garden. The garden is child and pet safe with a small mesh wire fence that is not visible in the pictures. Sleeps 8 people in 4 bedrooms. Spa / hot tub on the West patio, seats 7. There is a small additional charge for using it outside peek times. Two medium sized dogs are allowed or ask. Quiet rural location surrounded by fields. Wide open views. You can see the marsh and sea, when the tide is in, from the cottage through the thin line of trees. Off road parking. 10 minute walk to the village pub via a lane at the back of the cottage. The chalk stream river Stiffkey meanders its way through the small and unspoilt village with its red brick and flint ancient cottages. It exits into the sea at a place called the Freshes, about 20 mins walk from the cottage. The village benefits from a character-full 16th century free-house pub, open all day, dog friendly that has a large car park. This is about 10 minutes walk via the lane at the back of the cottage. There is also a Post Office / cafe that also sells essentials and nick knacks. The coastal path is a minutes walk away. Discount for couples.

Perfect Location
The cottage was warm and welcoming. The owner, Patrick, was responsive to all of our questions. All of the appliances were in good working order. Most importantly was the location of the property. We could walk out our door and go straight to the marsh. We spent six unforgettable weeks here and we recommend it highly.

Week in Stiffkey
Fantastic location - very short walk straight onto the saltmarsh from where we walked to Wells, out to the sea and over towards Morston.....half a mile walk the other way to village shop and excellent village pub / restaurant. We had a great stay - highly recommended

Not as expected.
Property looked tired from outside, two old wooden chairs dangerous, under roof full of cobwebs. Cutlery, cups, and glasses dirty. Downstairs bathroom mirror light full of dust on top and didn't work. Floors polished but to slippery, especially with rugs on top. Downstairs double bed mattress didn't fit bedstead correctly, gap either end, and far to soft, also very squeaky. Website states hot tube, when you look at all 56 amenities states Spa whirpool, where was ? This was one of our key factors. Would not recommend, very disappointed.

Lovely property. Windows dirty and drinking cups stained. One wardrobe very dusty and stale smelling
Lovely time spoiled by post it notes that were insulting, unwelcoming, aggressive and down-market. Shame.

Stiffkey marshes
This is a lovely property, of the beaten track but easily accessible to beautiful spots along the north Norfolk coast. The accommodation is spacious and very well appointed. The back garden has an impressive large round table and 8 comfy chairs. An added bonus is a gate that leads onto a pleasant walk. All in all a fantastic holiday spot.

Wonderful stay in fabulous cottage!
Mulberry cottage was immaculately clean, fully equipped, generous rooms and large secure garden. The location and property were perfect for our family and our dog. There’s lots to do in the area and right on the doorstep - we loved our stay here!
