A comfortable and well-equipped cottage with hot tub surrounded by the gorgeous countryside of North Norfolk

If you've visited Bircham Windmill, or fallen in love with the countryside of North Norfolk and can't bear to tear yourself away, you should consider a stay at Apple Tree Cottage in Bircham Newton. Owned by the same people as the windmill, it's a perfect rural escape for a family, a group of friends or just a couple who crave a bit of space. A typical North Norfolk flint cottage, it's very comfortable and well-equipped and makes a terrific base for this little corner of the county, with easy access to the coast, walks and pristine villages of the surrounding countryside.

Set within its own garden and orchard, the three-bedroom cottage is a beguiling mixture of old-fashioned country comforts and bang up-to-date modern amenities.  Comfortably sleeping five, it's ideal for a family, with a master bedroom on the ground floor, along with a well-appointed kitchen and an open-plan living and dining space with a Smart TV. There's a shower room downstairs next to the main bedroom, and patio doors lead off the bedroom to the garden, where there's seating and a barbecue – and your very own hot tub! Meanwhile, there are two further bedrooms upstairs – a twin and a single, each with lovely countryside views. There's good WiFi throughout and the cottage is pet-friendly.

Apple Tree Cottage would make a nice place to stay even if it was in the middle of nowhere, and once you've settled in you may find it a hard place to leave. However, you're also well placed to enjoy the many and various delights of Northwest Norfolk, with multiple country walks available from your door, and the beaches at Heacham, Hunstanton and Brancaster just a short car ride away. You could also drive to the RSPB reserve at Snettisham, 10  minutes away, and the royal residence at Sandringham isn't much further, while good pubs and restaurants abound. The cottage also has its own EV charger, so those with electric vehicles can power up their car while they sleep!

Beautiful

Five of us stayed here for three nights with two dogs and the space was perfect. Hottub has a lovely sunset view, there is a wonderful windmill/ bakery/ mill experience a half n hour walk away (3 minute drive) and the house was so lovely and clean. Definitely would stay again and I think the price was extremely reasonable.

We'll be returning!

Elly was a fantastic host, very responsive and everything was as described. This cottage is a real gem in a very quiet location with some fabulous walks and amazing views. The cottage was spotless and the Hot-tub was the icing on the cake. The location is perfect to visit the beach and quality pubs/ restaurants We will be returning later in the year 😎🥳

Thoroughly recommend

Apple Tree Cottage was perfect for our three night stay! As a family of five (including three teenagers and two dogs) we immediately felt right at home in this well appointed and privately situated cottage. The peaceful surroundings and location allowed us to both relax but also get out to places when we wanted. Hot tub was great, WiFi was strong throughout (teenagers were worried) and the quality of the fittings and appliances was excellent. I’d thoroughly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. The host was responsive and very helpful and left some lovely treats for us upon arrival which was most appreciated! All in all we had a wonderful stay at this gem of a property!

Would come back in a heartbeat

This was such a lovely, remote cottage with plenty of wildlife and stunning views. Elly was such a helpful host, she was always polite and responsive whenever we messaged her. The cottage looks exactly like the photos, with a welcoming entrance and beautiful interior. Honestly, I would come back in a heartbeat and I defiantly will be returning in the near future

Amazing stay

Had an amazing stay for a couple of nights at short notice. Elly was very accommodating, friendly and responsive and was quick to answer any queries etc. Loved the cottage, facilities and location and very cosy in very cold weather. Some lovely treats left for us and the kids too. A highlight was seeing a barn owl in the back fields whilst out walking. Am already thinking about a return trip in warmer weather to explore the area further and visit the windmill when it is open!

Would definitely recommend

Lovely few days away, house was very clean and had everything we needed. Hot tub is a great place to relax and unwind at the end of the day whilst taking in the view. Elly was always on hand to answer any questions, would definitely recommend.

Loved the hot tub!

Wonderful treats when we arrived, just what we needed with our tea after the long journey. The cottage is beautiful and very well-equipped. The hosts are very helpful and on hand if you have any issues (we didn't). The board games and sky television came in handy on Saturday as the weather wasn't the best so spent the day indoors. The best part of our stay was the hot tub.
