the area

The Workers Cottage is situated on a quiet lane with stunning and far-reaching views over neighbouring Sandringham Estate owned fields.

Even though you will enjoy a perfectly rural setting, the local village of Great Bircham is lucky enough to have an excellent café/deli with a general store, a play park, a working windmill and a bar. So whilst you have all the charms of a holiday cottage in the countryside you have plenty immediately on hand should you wish to enjoy a weekend with minimal exploration!

Take a stroll in the morning to fetch your newspaper and breakfast and if you wish to leave the car at home, a local evening drink or dinner is also an option. 

Bircham Windmill, open during the summer months, is a lovely place to visit for afternoon tea and buy freshly baked bread. 

Houghton Hall, with its beautiful walled Garden and often famous art installations, is only a 5-minute drive, and the Royal Sandringham Estate is just 6 miles away. 

Our nearest beach Brancaster is only 15 minutes to reach by car. 

Although most Guests complete their journey here by car, many Guests have enjoyed a short break at our holiday cottage travelling by train and using our local taxi services. Please look at your rail options here; Trainline Our nearest station is Kings Lynn. There are many taxi services right outside the station, and we also have a list of other local taxi firms that can be pre-booked for different journeys you may make.
