December and January are the best times to view the unique wildlife spectacle which is the Horsey seal colony. Soon many thousands of seals will congregate at and near to Horsey beach during the pupping season. Large numbers of seals can be seen a short walk along the beach from Shangri-la. Get up early, grab a coffee and take a short walk: you’re certain to see large numbers of seals.

Paul Miles wrote in the Telegraph about staying at Shangri-la and visiting the seals:

"I had heard seals in the night. In the frosty cold, the dark northern sky scattered with stars, I slid open glass doors onto the verandah of our holiday home, built in a lee of dunes. There was the thud of waves on the beach and a strange howling. In the morning we discovered the source: 70 seals on the beach just the other side of the dunes. But the spectacle of thousands of the beasts is two miles further south, perhaps the most accessible seal colony in the country. According to our home’s visitor book, some seals - smaller harbour seals - can be seen in summer too. There were accounts of guests kayaking with them, using the kayaks stored in the garden shed."

We have availability for December and January, the best time for winter break with the added attraction of some seal watching.

We're fast approaching the best time of the year for a stay on the east Norfolk coast. The main draw at this time of year is, undoubtably, the seals. These photos were taken a few years ago by one of our guests who kindly allowed us to use them. The seals can be seen just a short walk down the beach from Shangri-la (the house is located immediately behind the dunes, a true beach house). An autumn and winter stay at Shangri-la is all about long beach walks by the stormy sea with the prospect of a cosy evening meal at the nearby . We've still got some availability over the autumn and winter, full details of dates and offers on our website.

Holiday in modern luxury

Shangri-La is a modern, self-catering holiday let, a re-interpretation of the shacks and chalets that are found along the Norfolk coast. It was designed by awarding winning practice Mole Architects and offers a different experience from a traditional Norfolk holiday cottatge. The house has 3 generous double-bedrooms, 2 equipped with king size beds and one with 2 single beds. The main living accommodation consists of an open plan space, comprising kitchen, dining and living areas. There is a small, separate TV/kids room, and utility area. The design of the house is complimented by original and modern furniture and lighting. The south-facing elevation is largely glazed and offers expansive and uninterpreted views across the coastal plain towards the Broads.

The house is set in extensive grounds of around an acre. There is a large area of grass which is great for playing games, areas for just sitting in the shade and areas for having a BBQ and eating. A boutique hotel experience in your own holiday let.

Shangri-la is built to Passivhaus standards which means it meets the highest possible environmental targets for energy consumption. It is also incredibly comfortable (warm in the winter and cool in the summer) achieving this with little or no active heating.
