Tucked away in the quiet village of Bacton, this charming flint home absolutely exudes cosy comfort. With a sumptuous sectional sofa and a crackling wood burner in the living area, a large dining table in the country-style kitchen and three inviting bedrooms, there's plenty of space here to spread out and make yourself comfortable. Home chefs can cook up a storm in the kitchen – it's well-stocked with everything you need – while kids play a board game or snuggle up with a book. That said, our favourite spot has to be the sunny garden. Fire up the barbecue for dinner, share your meal around the outdoor table and then when the sun goes down, snuggle up by the fire pit underneath the stars.

Right down the street is the ruins of the Priory of Bromholm, a historic abbey that was said to house a piece of the True Cross. And just a little further, only five minutes away, is a sandy beach, where you can sprawl out on the Norfolk coast and dip your toes into the water. When you're not in the mood to cook, there are a few pubs and eateries in town, plus lively Cromer is only ten miles away – perfect for a day trip.

Home truths:
*One extra guest (ideally a child) can sleep on a folding bed, bringing the total guest count up to seven – please ask the host if you’d prefer this set-up
*Although the beach is within walking distance, you'll want a car to explore along the Norfolk Coast – there's parking available here
*Two well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you with prior agreement
*This home has a private entrance and guests can check themselves in on arrival
*If needed, the dining table can double as a laptop-friendly workspace
*This home is set over two levels, so you'll need to climb some stairs
