TwinPerfectly located on the scenic seafront of Hunstanton and ideally placed for exploring the delights of this much-loved Victorian town, The Garden Flat is a gentle stroll away from the pretty promenade and Esplanade gardens. At low tide descend the steps from the promenade and follow the iconic stripy cliffs, famous for its fossils and ancient shipwreck and a great place for bird watching. Discover many shorebird species such as gulls and waders where large flocks forage for prey on the tidal mudflats as well as spotting Oystercatchers, Sandpipers, Red knots, and Godwits amongst the scattered rocks.
Approach The Garden Flat's front entrance down external steps, with convenient parking at the rear of the property. At the front you will also find a sea-facing nook perfect for watching the night skies and enjoying the coastal breeze. The entrance hall offers a warm welcome where you will be greeted by a large west-facing sitting-room, boasting a traditional Victorian fireplace with the bonus of a feature log-effect electric fire, perfect for winter escapes and cosy nights in. There are two well-proportioned bedrooms; with the principal having a double bed and en suite shower-room and the second with twin beds. The family bathroom features a bath with hand shower attachment, wash-basin and WC. An open plan kitchen, complete with all mod-cons, and dining area is a great place for enjoying a sumptuous meal with friends or for family celebrations. Accessed from the kitchen, via external steps, is the private car parking, as well as a beautiful Mediterranean-style private courtyard garden with delicate whitewashed walls, accompanied by attractive vines and shrubs making this the perfect setting to enjoy summer evenings with friends, whilst planning your next day's adventures.
Explore the dog-friendly beaches at Old Hunstanton, popular with water sports enthusiasts where kite/wind surfers and paragliders decorate the skies. Take a stroll along the sandy beach or follow the coastal path towards Holme-next-the-Sea, through the sandy dunes and against a backdrop of colourful beach huts nestled amongst the dunes. The town has plenty to offer with year-round entertainment, take a wander along the promenade to the local leisure centre with swimming pool and gymnasium or enjoy bowling at the town entertainment hub or a trip to the theatre or simply enjoy fish and chips on the sea front in front of the most spectacular sunsets.
Approximately six miles around the coast road you will find Drove Orchards on the outskirts of Thornham, where you will find a fabulous modern gallery, curiosities and local farm shop amongst other delights such as Eric's Pizza and Fish & Chips. A little further along the coast is the popular seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea; perfect for visiting an array of quaint independent shops and galleries. Take a stroll to the shoreline along the coastal path or visit the bustling working harbour and book a trip on board one of the Coastal Charters heading out of the harbour of this beloved seaside town.
The Coasthopper bus route is a fun day out, sample the local ales or hop off and enjoy a meal with seasonal delicacies on offer, such as mussels, lobster and samphire at many restaurants and pubs along the way, such as The Ship Inn at Brancaster or The White Horse at Brancaster Staithe. For special occasions why not book a table at The Neptune, a fabulous Michelin star restaurant at Old Hunstanton, known to be frequented by the Norfolk gentry; we would recommend booking well ahead of your stay.
The many RSPB reserves are popular with ornithologists, such as Titchwell Marsh and Snettisham Bird Reserve both a short drive from 'Sunny Hunny'. Visit the RSPB at Snettisham and take in the spectacular site of the Snettisham Knot Spectacular murmuration which can be seen across the Wash at low tide where it is thought that over 400,000 birds travel to the Wash from the Arctic each year to feast on the worms and shellfish.
