Moongazer Cottage Heacham

Built in 1876 and full of original period features, Moongazer is a pretty, two bedroom Carstone cottage, situated in the enchanting Norfolk village of Heacham. This beautifully presented cottage is full of character, with exposed beams, stone walls and original floorboards. It is ideal for families, friends, or couples, who are wishing for a relaxing coastal break. It is within walking distance of the beach as well as a wide variety of the village amenities (shops, pubs, restaurants). The famous Norfolk Lavender Farm is also within walking distance, along with so many other local attractions. Enjoy the miles of sandy beaches and for bird watchers, visit the R.S.P.B coastal nature reserves at Snettisham and Titchwell. The Victorian seaside town of Hunstanton is just 2 miles away and Sandringham House and Gardens only 5 miles. Conveniently, the village is on the coastal bus route too. There are so many wonderful places to explore!

Inside the cottage, is a cosy living room with a wood burning stove, a spacious kitchen with dining area, a utility area with washing machine and a downstairs bathroom, with a full size bath and rainfall shower. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, as well as a WC. One bedroom has a double bed and a quaint window seat- to watch the world go by. The second bedroom includes twin full size single beds, suitable for both adults and children, with a skylight- just perfect for moon gazing!

Moongazer cottage is set back off the road with an enclosed gravelled area to the front of the house. On street parking is available opposite the cottage. The rear garden is fully enclosed and is the ideal spot for relaxing, after a day of exploring.

Amazing little cottage. Very well equipped, spotlessly clean, comfy and a great location for exploring the Norfolk coast. Parking was the only minor downside as had to park jn 3 different spots during our stay but dont let that put you off, still well worth it. Word of warning to tall people - I'm 6ft 1" mind your head on the low doorframes, lol. Thanks to Anna and John for being splenid hosts. Alan, Paula and Max the dog.

Stunning cottage
We had a fabulous stay at Moongazer and will definitely be back. The location is ideal - you can walk to the beach and the bus service is excellent. It has everything you need and we were made to feel very welcome. We made good use of the log fire. Great communication with owners/manager - thank you for a lovely stay

Beautiful cottage and location
Have just got home from a 3 night stay with my sister and dog. The cottage has everything, there was nothing missing and extra treats left for both humans and dogs. Spotlessly clean! The beds were so comfy and would love to know which washing powder is used as they smelt gorgeous! Logs provided to start you off and there’s a log shop a few mins down the road so you can easily purchase more. Two pubs within walking distance and it’s a 20 min walk to either north or south beach. Even though the cottage is in a village the location is very peaceful and we found the whole time we spent there very relaxing. There’s a smart tv, dvds, books for guests to use. It really did have everything and particularly dog friendly! We would definitely book again! Thank you to the hosts too who were very welcoming

A charmingly beautiful cottage
We’ve been visiting Heacham for the past few years. But this year we discovered this beautiful cottage. It’s extremely cozy, welcoming and full of original features. We fell in love with Moongazer and truly felt like we’re at home. The hosts/managers are second to none! A very heartening experience indeed. Thank you - we will be back.

Lovely comfortable cottage
Moongazer is a lovely, very clean, tastefully decorated cottage - it had everything we needed for a three night stay and it was very comfortable. Communication was great and there were very thoughtful touches - including some treats on arrival and some dog treats, bowls, a dog towel and poo bags for our dog. So handy! The pillows are really comfortable and the garden is a good size. There is also a baby gate on the stairs at the top and bottom, which was great for our toddler. One note to parents travelling with a toddler - there isn’t quite enough floor space in the second bedroom for a travel cot but there is enough space in the main bedroom. Thank you so much for a fantastic stay!

New Year at Moongazer
We decided to go away for three nights over the new year and Moongazer caught our eye. The listing was accurate and the owners very easy to communicate with. The cottage is very cozy and we had a very relaxing stay. We had an Indian takeaway from the local restaurant which was lovely, on new years day we walked to the beach with our dog. Then had lunch at the West Norfolk pub, which was really enjoyable and with the added bonus of being dog friendly. Heacham is a lovely village and everyone was very friendly. The cottage was ideal for us with the dog with a safe and enclosed garden. Only improvement I could suggest for Moongazer would be if you could use your netflix accounts etc on a smart telly, but overall I would still rate our stay 10/10.

Great little cottage. Lovely location
What a lovely little cottage Moongazer is. It is in a great location. The village is actually bigger thank you think. Easy drive to the beaches nearby. The cottage itself is so cosy. Everything you need in it. My boys loved the woodfire. Every night they enojoyed adding logs with their Dad will definitely be back.

Lovely quiet location and the cottage was clean and well equipped with all you would need. Handy for all the amenities Heacham has to offer. Shame about the silly situation with the "neighbour" not allowing access to the parking area but we could park in the road easily enough.

Super holiday
Moongazer Cottage was delightful, with everything there you could need for a week's holiday. We were left lovely scones on our arrival and our spaniel enjoyed his treats. The village was nice, and the great beach within walking distance. We visited lots of beautiful beaches in North Norfolk plus some dog friendly cafes and pubs. A very enjoyable stay all round. Definitely recommend. Thank you. Jane and Adrian
