The cottage and accommodation are rated 3* by Visit England. The cottage sleeps 4 in bedrooms with an optional Z bed for a 5th guest.
Only a short drive from Burnham Market, Brancaster, Holkham Hall, Sandringham, the RSPB bird sanctuaries of Titchwell/ Snettisham as well as the incomparable beauty of the coast and beaches of North Norfolk, Pilgrim's makes for an excellent base for a family holiday or a romantic break from city life. The cottage is located in the heart of the village, which includes a gastro/ country pub ( the Duck Inn) serving delicious home cooked food, as featured in the Michelin guide, and also a traditional duck pond and church with the village being surrounded by open fields. There is a large playground and recreation field within a minutes walk of the cottage enabling any small guests the chance to burn off any excess energy, outside of the cottage's garden. All the village amenities are within a 2 minute walk so you can enjoy an evening meal in the pub and a few drinks without the need to drive or stay in and enjoy the open log fire.
The house is furnished in a cottage style with pine furniture and comfortable sofas, fully fitted kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine. To the rear there is a small sunny patio area, with teak outdoor furniture, which is fully enclosed and provides off road parking for 2 cars.
