Inside the property

Set in a Mediterranean-style courtyard behind Robin Hood Cottage where the owners run a small B&B, Stable Cottage offers a peaceful refuge of real character.

With wood floors throughout, the cottage is flooded with light from windows and sky lights

The sitting area has a comfortable sofabed and armchair, freesat LCD television, DVD player, iPod speakers, books, maps and games. You can borrow a selection of DVDs from the main house and link for free to our WiFi network

The fitted kitchen has a dishwasher, oven, hob, microwave and fridge, and good quality cooking equipment and crockery. A large farmhouse table gives you space to spread out.

The bedroom has a double bed with Egyptian cotton bed linen, bedside tables, reading lamps and chest of drawers.

The roomy en suite shower room has a large mains-fed power shower. Bath and hand towels are included, but please bring your own beach towels.

We provide a welcome pack of local foods. Well behaved dogs are welcome.

Outside and garden

Outside the cottage, enjoy the Mediterranean courtyard with its olive trees and lavender, and unwind with a drink under the grapevine outside your door. Or relax beside the natural pond in the large garden behind the cottage.

Surrounding area

Excellent local produce is on sale at the award-winning Walsingham Farms Shop just across the road, and their sister restaurant the Norfolk Riddle is two minutes walk away. Try their outstanding takeaway fish and chips for a quick and easy meal on your first night. Or visit the Chocolate Deli for delicious treats.

The village is rich in architectural, historic and religious treasures. At its height in medieval times, Walsingham rivalled Canterbury and the great shrines of Europe. Most kings and queens of England made pilgrimages here, from Henry III to Henry VIII.

The two shrines are worth a visit, as are Walsingham Abbey gardens with the ruins of the Augustinian priory that formed the heart of the medieval village.

Just five miles away are the glorious beaches and big skies of North Norfolk – learn to sail or windsurf, see the seals, watch the birds at Cley or RSPB Titchwell, or simply walk for miles.

There is a good riding school in the village and we are on a national cycle route. Golf and tennis are on hand in Fakenham four miles to the south, and a narrow gauge railway just up the road winds through the Norfolk countryside to Wells-next-the-Sea.

Visit the National Trust's Blickling and Felbrigg Halls and Sheringham Park, or the fine country estates of Holkham, Houghton and Sandringham.

We are ideally placed for the Thursford Show in November and December.
