Directions To Midthatch

Head to Norwich, then follow the A47 towards Great Yarmouth. At the Caister roundabout follow signs to A1064. Turn left at the junction at Repps with Bastwick, over Potter Heigham bridge, and follow A149 towards Stalham (beware yellow gantry speed trap). Turn right towards Hickling on Heath Road. Continue on this now deeply rural road through Hickling Green, past Greyhound Pub, and on until T-junction signposted Sea Palling right. Turn left when you reach the village onto Beach Road and then take the first left into Chapel Road. This is a narrow, windy road so drive slowly and with care. In a couple of hundred yards, you will see a row of thatched cottages on your right. You have arrived. Midthatch (AKA 2 The Hollies) is the middle cottage of the three.

Travelling By Train

Take the mainline to Norwich and change for Wroxham where a local taxi service will bring you to the cottage. Have to say though, driving (or cycling) is the preferred option.

Windswept dunes, ever changing seas and miles of sandy beach…clear skies, stars at night, peace and quiet in a cosy, quirky cottage.

  • Lovely cosy cottage in perfect location for beach which is literally a few minutes walk from the front gate across the field. Clean, and everything you need for a few days or longer. Also a good location for visiting other sights in Norfolk and the broads. Best of both worlds with beach so handy. Ali and Julie perfect hosts, extremely helpful.

  • We had a delightful stay at Midthatch. The house is beautiful and so cosy and comfy! We loved the decor in the living room area, the wood burner and the useful things like plenty of coat hooks and an ironing board. The location peaceful, and perfect for a relaxing break. Would love to come back again, perhaps in the Spring/Summer to make use of the lovely garden.

  • Stunning place! Absolutely perfectly located to access the amazing beach … easy driving distance from Horsey Gap beach to see the seals and to any of the nearby boat hire places for a trip along the broads. Very good farm shop nearby stocks fresh produce. Very well equipped stocked cottage… all the necessities for cooking, entertainment and comfortable living.

  • Great little house with an amazing beach nearby, perfect for walks with the dogs. I’m roughly an hour and a half away and I’ve visited Norfolk beaches all my life, I can safely say, even in the rain this one is my favourite. Thanks for hosting us, the pooches had an amazing time!

  • Great little place to stay! Beautiful sandy beaches are walking distance. Our dog was exhausted! Saw 100’s of seals on Horsey beach! Had a brilliant meal at The Ingham Swan as recommended by the owner. All round great break away…Enjoy!

  • This was our fourth stay at Ali’s cottage and it won’t be the last. The perfect balance of a cosy cottage, a great location and fully approved and loved by our dog. Thanks to the pandemic it had been over a year since our last visit, but his tail wagging excitement as he realised where we were was palpable. This is our favourite cottage and we love staying here.
