Description

Welcome to Whistle Stop, a beautiful, family friendly cottage sleeping up to six people in three bedrooms, and welcoming up to two dogs free of charge. It is situated in the quintessentially English village of Aldborough, overlooking the picturesque village green, and with a pub and village shop just a few steps away. Aldborough is one of Norfolk’s hidden gems, an attractive village with plenty of walks and cycle routes straight from the doorstep. Cricket is played on the green throughout summer, and you are only a short drive away from so many attractions, and the stunning North Norfolk coast, which is only eight miles or a fifteen minute drive away.

Local National Trust properties to visit include Felbrigg Hall, Blickling Hall and Sheringham Park and the lovely Georgian town of Holt with its numerous independent shops, cafe culture, antique shops and art galleries is a spot not to miss. Sandy picturesque beaches are easily accessible all along the coast, with resident seals at Blakeney Point. You can hire a boat for the day and explore the vast waterways of the famous Broads or visit the beautiful city of Norwich with its Cathedral, shops, and historic buildings just 40 minutes away.

Whistle Stop is a characterful cottage built in 1886 .There is an excellent village pub which serves food, and a shop with Post Office, as well as a children's play area on the far side of the green, making the property perfect for couples or a family holiday.
