Super little cottage ! Very responsive host. We’d arrived early and they were happy for us to access it an hour ahead of time. Well stocked kitchen and very comfy beds. Plenty of logs for the fire ! Just a shame it wasn’t decorated for Christmas for a December booking. Would definitely return.

Spent a week and this lovely cottage with my two sons and their wives (and 2 dogs). Excellent location, 10 minutes to Burnham Market. Comfortable rooms, well equiped kitchen, cosy sitting room and pretty garden. We all had a well needed rest.

A wonderful house in a great location
We loved our stay at Lawrie's place in North Creake! The house was the perfect spot for 6 of us for the week. The open plan kitchen/diner was perfect for cooking and eating together, and all of the rooms were spacious and comfortable.Would recommend this place to anyone!

Wonderful house close to beaches, ideal for family stays
The house and garden are gorgeous - surpassed all our expectations. Brilliantly well equipped, beautifully designed and decorated, we loved it all. Less than 5 mins to Burnham market for provisions and 10 to the wonderful Brancaster beach. Host was very helpful and responsive.
