Food and Eating out

Getting your bearings – a map!

Thursday, 16th February 2017 by Debbie 1 Comment

Whilst a list of places to visit and local eating places is very useful, there’s nothing quite so descriptive as a map. Whereabouts is that recommended pub and how long might it take to get there?  What happens if your dog is taken ill; where is the nearest vets? Well hopefully all these questions will be answered by looking at the maps I’ve created. [Read more…]

Recruiting Sergeant, Horstead, a lovely pub restaurant

Wednesday, 5th November 2014 by Debbie Leave a Comment

Always looking to try new places on each Norfolk visit, the Recruiting Sergeant was our pub restaurant of choice for a Sunday evening meal.

Recruiting Sergeant HorsteadA 12 mile drive through the countryside, via North Walsham, it took a leisurely 25 minutes or so. From the coast, go round the sharp bend at Coltishall, known for the quirkiness of having a garage on an island in the middle of the road, it’s just a few yards further along the road on the right. Opposite is the Farm to Fork & Fish farm shop, well worthy of a visit during opening hours, but it was shut and we were here to dine not shop! [Read more…]

Sugar and Spice and all things nice

Wednesday, 30th July 2014 by Debbie Leave a Comment

Sugar and Spice is our local cafe and what lucky people that makes us! Claire, the owner, has worked in the hospitality industry for years and really goes out of her way to provide truly scrumptious food and great service from her young staff.

Recently moved premises, it is now located on its own site, a long defunct garage, then farm shop, but still on Coast Road, in Bacton where her first cafe was located. She has more seating space and more importantly a much larger kitchen to create all that wonderful food made with local produce. There’s even a working jukebox to add to the atmosphere.

Norfolk Lavender

Friday, 30th May 2014 by Debbie 2 Comments

Think of Norfolk, think of lavender; the two are intrinsically linked, therefore a trip to Norfolk Lavender has to be done at some point! Located in Heacham, some 50 miles away, it may not be on our doorstep, but the trip across the county takes in some beautiful scenery and is worth it just for the drive alone. Half a day allows enough time and so you can explore more of the west of Norfolk or the beautiful North Norfolk coastline as you journey home.

Cromer shopping – a town with a difference

Wednesday, 23rd April 2014 by Debbie Leave a Comment

Cromer is one of my favourite towns to visit on a trip to Norfolk. Why is it different? Simply because it’s still full of individual shops where you won’t be buying something that thousands of other people have as well. Let’s go for a wander!

What our guests say:

Jill and Andrew
We had a fabulous time at Bramble Cottage and it was so lovely to get away after all our hard work and to celebrate our birthdays. We found Bramble Cottage perfect to meet our needs and Frankie the staffie loved the enclosed garden. We had some great walks to the beach and along the coast path and even managed to have some sunshine. As it was the first weekend of lockdown easing we also enjoyed visiting the Lighthouse public house for a pint and a pie. We would also like to thank you Debbie for all your help and assistance when we had left one of our birthdays presents behind. We would recommend Bramble Cottage and Happisburgh to anyone who wants a relaxed and quiet break away. July 20, Bramble Cottage
Emma, Mike and Lenny the dog!
Had a lovely stay, beautiful walks along the coast and great pub, fab food. Lenny the dog loved it too! Thank you. Oct 17, Bramble Cottage
Figg family and Gem
We had a lovely stay at Bramble Cottage. We loved our walks across the field to the beach and to the village. We only used the car twice! Aug 17, Bramble Cottage
Belinda
Had a lovely holiday staying in Bramble Cottage. Great location to access lots of wonderful days out: See the seals at Horsey, beach at Happisburgh and Sea Palling, Great Yarmouth, Cromer and Bewilderwood. Was very lucky to visit when the lighthouse was open too. Sep 16, Bramble Cottage
Marilyn
Just back from a lovely week in Bramble Cottage in Happisburgh. Lovely weather and lovely location. Sidney (the dog) enjoyed the wonderful beaches. Oct 16, Bramble Cottage
Wendy
Had the best week in Bramble Cottage, a rustic charming flint cottage, beautiful beach walks , Bacton Woods, and seal watching at Horsey Cap! Lots to see and do, perfect relaxation, loved it and will be back again soon. Dec 2016, Bramble Cottage
Daruni
We have just returned from a mid week stay at Tides, what a beautiful chalet this is, clean, tidy and very comfortable, also very dog friendly. Thank you for letting us rent Tides, my sister and husband joined us and both loved it as well. Cannot recommend this highly enough. Nov 16, Tides
Jenny
Returned last week after a 4 night break staying at Tides. We always go away once a year for a doggie holiday and this break ticked all the boxes. Tides was great, everything we all needed...clean, spacious and comfortable. Rainbows End where Tides is situated, clean and well kept and very dog friendly. Lots to do in area we visited Cromer, Great Yarmouth, Mundesley and Bacton Woods during our stay. Would recommend Tides if you are looking for a peaceful dog friendly stay in a beautiful part of Norfolk then this most definately it, great communication from Debbie the owner from booking onwards. Hope to stay here again in the near future. Sept 16, Tides
Susan
Had a lovely time staying at Bramble Cottage with our two dogs. Cottage has lots of character, all the facilities you need and a secure garden for dogs. Neighbours very friendly. Easy walk across a field to the village (great dog friendly pub) and the beach and good location for exploring the area. We will definately go again. April 2017, Bramble Cottage
Jodie
Just got back from a lovely, relaxing weekend staying at Beachscape! Barney had an amazing time and is knackered after all his walks on the beach, which was literally 2 minutes away and in Bacton Woods a 5 minute drive away. The chalet was clean, cosy and comfortable with everything needed inside. Would thoroughly recommend The Poachers Pocket and Sugar and Spice cafe, the staff are very friendly and so dog friendly and the food was lovely! The fish and chip shop was also nearby and the food very nice. We also hired a day boat from Richardsons in Wroxham which was a 20 minute drive away and had a really enjoyable day out. Will definitely be returning! Had a great weekend. Thanks for all your help! Sept 2016, Beachscape

Remembrance Day is nearly upon us. My choir, Classical Chorus managed to record this before lockdown came. Raising money for the Royal British Legion. #neverforgetthem
