Samphire Cottage

 Samphire Cottage is a newly renovated barn-style cottage. It is set uniquely close to the Stiffkey Marshes, providing an ideal self-catering holiday location for families, couples or a group of friends.

 It is a semi detached cottage, part of 3 cottages at High Sands Barns, Stiffkey. It’s setting is truly unique, for you can’t possibly stay any closer to the famous National Trust’s Stiffkey Marshes than this, unless you were to be in a tent! It is set away from the normal tourist areas of the village providing a tranquil and restful holiday location. It underwent extensive renovation during 2004-2005 to create the unique barn styled building that it now is, with everything you need for an extremely comfortable stay. The Stiffkey Village shop and The Red Lion Pub, which serves excellent food are only a short walk away.

Kitchen

This light and airy hand-painted country style kitchen comes fully equipped with a range-style cooker with 8 gas burner hobs, a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster and all the culinary equipment that you would require to express your culinary talents. The pine kitchen table comfortably seats 8 for those cosy family meals and round the table banter. There are French doors at either end, so that breakfast may be taken on the east facing veranda while the sun rises and drinks may be taken on the west facing veranda whist watching the sunset over the field.

Living-room

Again, this room has 2 French doors that open onto the veranda, which subsequently leads to the garden. So sit back on one of the 2 large comfortable sofas and watch your children or dogs play safely in the garden. A Large wood burner is the centrepiece of this room for those cosy nights in around the fire. A basket full of logs is provided to get you started. There is also a 21” television, DVD player and a selection of games for your entertainment.

In winter and Christmas, the cottage is just SO cosy!!

Bedrooms

All the bedrooms are furnished to provide that relaxed homely feel and sufficient storage for your belongings during your stay.

Downstairs: Double room

Ranch style double bed with French doors opening onto the west facing veranda.

Bunk bed room

A great room for children and adults alike. Its windows overlook the rear garden.

Upstairs: The Master Double

This spacious room has a ranch style king size bed that will make it hard for you to get up in the morning. 

It also has French doors that open to far reaching views. A solid wooden cot is provided for infants and the room shares an en-suite with the single bed room.

The Single Bed Room

 This has two ranch style single beds and is again an ideal room for either adults or children. The En-suite which consists of a shower, toilet and basin, has been designed so that both upstairs bedrooms have direct access. The doors from both rooms are custom made fire doors, which are incredibly thick therefore providing absolute privacy. This layout also means that parents that have their children staying in the single bed room may leave the doors between the rooms open if there are concerns.

Downstairs Bathroom: This consists of a bath with overhead shower, toilet and basin
