Sowerbys Holiday Cottages started up in 2002 and has grown gradually with a portfolio of 300 hand-picked cottages we would all like to stay in. Appreciating the need to be nearby in the event of any issues that need resolving, we have deliberately limited the range of our cottages to a relatively small localised area of outstanding natural beauty, within 20 minutes drive of Burnham Market. We pride ourselves on offering a personal, professional service to both our owners and our guests. Our owners can relax in the knowledge that we are looking after all aspects of their holiday homes; and our guests can relax knowing that we all live locally and have a genuine desire to help in the event of an emergency, or simply to offer local advice on what to do, where to eat etc.

Avocet Cottage is a period Norfolk coastal cottage which has retained many of its original features. It has been tastefully furnished in a contemporary coastal style with furniture and fittings to ensure that guests have a comfortable stay. Downstairs there is a lovely fitted open plan kitchen/breakfast room with a separate charming sitting room with a wood-burning stove and bathroom with shower over the bath. Upstairs are three beautifully presented bedrooms and a cloakroom. It is conveniently located in the heart of the highly sought after village of Brancaster Staithe within minutes walk to the coastal path, The White Horse Inn and the Jolly Sailors pub, with the advantage of a nearby Coastliner bus stop. To the rear of the cottage is a private off-street parking space and an attractive walled south-facing courtyard garden. Tailor-made short breaks are available throughout the year (except Summer holidays) at this lovely cottage.

Brancaster Staithe A bustling village with an attractive harbour which is just to the east of Brancaster (staithe means wharf, or landing stage). There is a well-supported sailing club here and in the summer at high tide there’s always a crowd of people and boats jostling to get onto the water. The sea still gives a living to many in the area though and Brancaster Staithe is famed for its mussels, which may be bought locally at The Fish Shed or directly from Mervyn's Mussels along the coast road. From the harbour you can take a short ferry trip (at high tide) to Scolt Head Island, a four mile long sand bar housing a National Nature Reserve well-known for terns, oystercatchers, and ringed plovers. The village is a picturesque one, with typical flint walling on many cottages, and popular with second home owners and holiday makers. There is good beer and food available throughout the day at the Jolly Sailor’s pub, or for more of a treat with stunning views and delicious food there’s the White Horse overlooking the marshes. Next to Brancaster Staithe is Burnham Deepdale which has a Norman church, a visitors centre and a good selection of shops, including a small supermarket, petrol station, Fat Face and Gone Crabbing. After a brisk walk on the beach or an invigorating sail there’s nothing better than a trip to the popular Deepdale Café, renowned for its hearty English breakfasts.
