About this property

Duck Cottage, South Creake, Norfolk

A beautifully furnished, traditional 1890's detached brick and flint cottage, with two cosy wood burning stoves and fully-enclosed landscaped garden. Set in the pretty village of South Creake, situated close to the affluent village of Burnham Market and a mere 12 minute drive to the gloriously vast coastline of North Norfolk.

Duck Cottage is an attractive and spacious traditional Norfolk cottage, exquisitely located for exploring and enjoying all that Norfolk has to offer. Furnished throughout with high quality furniture and bedding, both the sitting room and dining room feature cosy wood burning stoves to snuggle up in front of when the days are cooler. Upstairs you have a choice of three attractive bedrooms; two spacious king-size bedroom and one bunk room. The safe and fully-enclosed rear garden has a large lawned area with terrace, hosting garden furniture. As the garden is south-west facing you can enjoy the glorious sunshine whilst the children and dog play to their hearts content.

South Creake boasts a large village green, two hireable tennis courts, a playing field and children's playground, a music school where you can book and enjoy regular classical concerts, and a spectacular church. There is a good village pub/restaurant, The Ostrich Inn, where you can book a table and enjoy more formal dining, or for something more relaxed, enjoy the Inn's pizza al fresco during the summer months. The stream that runs through the village is the meeting point for the vivid plump of ducks that make South Creake their home - hence the cottage is aptly named! On the first Saturday of the month head to the neighbouring village of North Creake to attend the bustling farmer's market. All year round nearby Creake Abbey has plenty of shops.

There is off-road parking for one large car at the cottage.

Additional Information
One medium-size dog welcome (small additional charge).
Duck Cottage has a lovely, safe and fully-enclosed garden. There is a paved area for al fresco dining, featuring a table with benches and a charcoal barbecue.
Bedding is mix of feather and synthetic fibre.

Lovely cottage
We very much enjoyed our short stay at Duck Cottage. It is a lovely spacious cottage (we are a family of 4 so the kids had their own rooms). Perfect location for exploring north Norfolk. The cottage could do with a tiny bit of TLC - couple of windows need attention, maybe a blind in the upstairs bathroom (?) and the extractor fans need a bit more oomph. Cottage was lovely and clean though, garden a nice addition and perfect for the kids. I imagine its very cosy in the winter with the woodburners going.

Perfect cottage for young children
We had a lovely week at Duck Cottage with our 1 and 3 year olds. The cottage is a perfect layout for young children, and the boxes of toys were a pleasant surprise. The cottage had everything we needed like high chairs and cot. A stairgate would have been useful however. Perfect location for exploring so much of Norfolk, only 15 minutes to various beaches or plenty of places to explore inland. The village itself is lovely, with a playground we visited every day and very much enjoyed the ducks and ducklings.

Good location but a little disappointing
good location could have been cleaner - downstairs loo had not been cleaned & cottage was pretty dusty there was mud on carpet & chocolate on the sofa when we arrived There were also light bulbs out & not enough spare to replace ourselves We understood that we would have some essential groceries for the first day - we therefore thought there may have at least been a loaf of bread & a pint of milk - although lovely, a bottle of prosecco & Easter eggs were not what we thought of as essential. Although cottage hd been occupied the previous week it smelt very damp & there was lots of condensation - no extractor in the bathroom mattress in small double definitely needs replacing

The Duck Experience!
Duck cottage located in lovely village of South Creek with a pub within walking distance serving good pub grub. Nights were cool so we took the liberty of lighting the log fire creating a warm, cosy ambience. Everything was to hand at Duck Cottage, nothing was forgotten in the way of amenities. Aptly named with the local ducks often wandering into the garden!
