Scalp Cottage Norfolk

18/11/2024

A holiday at Holme-next-the-Sea creates so many memory-making moments.

What's one of our favourites? It's definitely taking time for a walk along the coastal path just as the sun's going down. It's the perfect time to spot wildlife coming out for the night - including bats looping near your heads and the resident barn owl flying across the fields.

If you're staying at Scalp Cottage and fancy a trip out, we recommend Castle Rising - just a short drive away from the cottage and a fascinating site to spend some time at! https://www.castlerising.co.uk/

Not a fan of crowds? Neither are we! We love Holme beach because it's such a quiet spot to go - most days you'll only come across a few other dog walkers, bird watchers or the occasional group of horse riders!

Meet the dogs of Scalp Cottage! This is Ellie - she's an Italian Spinone and she visits several times a year for her holidays. She loves chasing seaweed on the beach, digging sand holes, splashing in the sea and sunbathing.

The Norfolk coast isn't just a holiday for you, it's a great time away for your four-legged friends too! Which fur babies have enjoyed time away at the cottage already? We'd love to meet them.

Location, location, location!

Scalp Cottage is situated on a country lane leading directly to miles of unspoilt sandy beaches and the sea. It’s a 5-minute walk to the beautiful beaches of Holme, but you’re also close to amenities and attractions when you want them.

A short drive takes you to the popular seaside resort of Hunstanton, or ‘Sunny Hunny’ as it’s known, with its wide range of boutique shops, restaurants, fairground, and leisure activities.

The cottage is also close to Thornham, Heacham, Brancaster, Burnham Market and the renowned beaches of Wells-next-the-Sea: all offering tasty local produce, eateries and pubs.

One of our favourite places for a day trip from Scalp Cottage is West Runton beach - it's a fantastic spot for fossil hunting and we normally come back with a few belemnites and other finds. That's why we were so excited to hear this news this week - what a discovery!

The bones are discovered after a storm at the same coastal spot where a mammoth was found in 1990.

These photos were taken 11 years ago at Holme beach and in the Scalp Cottage garden - sadly those dogs are no longer with us, but they loved their stays by the seaside ❤️
