Tucked back from the coast road Owl Cottage sits in a small group of pretty brick and flint cottages in the charming coastal village of Stiffkey - a popular destination for holidaymakers all year round. Grade II listed, Owl Cottage was once a temporary home to Henry Williamson, the author of Tarka the Otter, as attributed by the plaque at the front of the cottage. Once inside you will find it to be very spacious, pleasantly light and bright, with a warm, comfortable and relaxing decor and air throughout. The ground floor is principally a large open-plan living area that encompasses a kitchen/dining and sitting room, with extra warmth provided by a large wood burning stove for when the days shorten and the temperature drops. Next door there is further seating available in a small airy sunny garden room that overlooks and has access into an inner private walled courtyard garden. One of the bathrooms is on this level too; this one offering a bath for those who prefer a long soak for tired limbs, and has the luxury of underfloor heating. Up the stairs which, in keeping with age of the cottage, are steep and twist, but with a handrail to assist, is the lovely master bedroom suite, a dual aspect room with one of the windows offering views across nearby fields. With a king-size bed and an en-suite shower room, that also has underfloor heating, this is an inviting place to retire. Much-loved Stiffkey which sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is home to one of the country's richest salt marshes for wildlife, and has brick and flint cottages either side of the twisting narrow coastal road that runs through it. A destination for walkers and bird watchers, it borders the North Norfolk coastal path which meanders for miles in both directions. A bridleway twenty yards away from the cottage will lead you there. It's easy walking to the bustling seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea with its much photographed quay, frequented by local fisherman and their boats, about four miles to the west and to the east the village of Morston, where you can join a boat trip to see the seal colonies at Blakeney Point; a must-see for visitors to Norfolk. You can choose to stop for a spot of lunch, in either direction, and always jump on the Coasthopper bus if you are a little too weary to walk back! Additional Information: Sorry, no pets. The cottage is not suitable for children or babes in arms. Pillows and duvets are hypoallergenic. The welcome hamper does not include milk. Access Note: The stairs are steep, narrow and twisted with a rope hand rail, typical of character properties in the area. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Microwave ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Handrails in stairways - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 11 square feet ## Similar properties ![Front of property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/54000000/53930000/53929200/53929193/51098de0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Globe Inn Wells Wells-next-the-Sea - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 8.2 Very good 387 reviews £108 includes taxes & fees 19 Nov - 20 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=53929193&PinnedHotelID=53929193&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78330000/78327400/78327354/3adc101d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming two bedroom converted Chapel Sharrington - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 19 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=78327354&PinnedHotelID=78327354&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69730000/69720900/69720835/d465cd24.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A self catering cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms Wells-next-the-Sea - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.2 Wonderful 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=69720835&PinnedHotelID=69720835&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Double Room (Super-king Bed - Room 3) | 1 bedroom](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/17000000/16780000/16775300/16775274/bd818da1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Quay B&B Wells-next-the-Sea - Breakfast included - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Tennis court 8.6 Excellent 301 reviews £87 includes taxes & fees 13 Nov - 14 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=16775274&PinnedHotelID=16775274&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Microwave, dishwasher, high chair](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107450000/107448600/107448591/9021b608.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Blossom Cottage, Brancaster, Norfolk Brancaster - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-19&endDate=2025-11-20&selected=107448591&PinnedHotelID=107448591&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27130000/27122200/27122105/9c5d89fc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful, stylish barn.
