Cottage holiday rentals in Gorleston-on-Sea

The family had a lovely break here, a short drive from Norwich Showground where we attended an event but far enough away for peace and quiet… lovely walks… excellent pub Kings Arms local for dinner. Everything needed was in the lodge including a very appreciated ‘welcome pack’ to start us off on arrival. Highly recommend and hope to return again.

We had a wonderful stay at this amazing little cottage set on a working farm. The views across the fields were absolutely stunning—truly a breath of fresh air. It was the ideal place to unwind and disconnect. Mary and her team were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. They even offered us a later checkout, which was such a kind gesture (though we sadly had to decline as we were eager to get home to see our son). The hot tub was a fantastic bonus, perfect for relaxing after a peaceful day. And the complimentary bottle of wine, A lovely touch—it went down very well! The nearby village of East Harling is just a 30-minute walk away and has everything you need for a quiet retreat—whether it’s grabbing some basic groceries or enjoying a drink at one of the friendly local pubs. It’s great not having to rely on the car at all. We would highly recommend this cottage to any couple looking for a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. We’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful cottage in a wonderful little town full of things to do and see (and the beach is not far away). The cottage is really well-appointed and full of cool things. The hot-tub was also a complete luxury!

Pips Cottage was a lovely quaint place, based in a location that opened up lots of other opportunities to get out and about around Suffolk. Ringsfield itself is a sleepy place, with just a pub for leisure time. The cottage was perfect for what we wanted, quiet, but accessible enough to other areas. The cottage is lovely and cosy and had everything you needed for a few days away. Would highly recommend.

We had a most enjoyable stay of 4 nights at The Cart Lodge. Very comfortable for us four adults and two dogs. We enjoyed heading out for part of the day, then returning to sit in the cosy private garden and a spell in the enticing hot tub. Little touches such as having toilet roll provided and bathroom products - soap, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion - was a thoughtful gesture. It was nice in the evening to chill on the comfy sofas with a bit of TV time, before retiring to our comfy beds. The cottage provided all we needed in a beautiful convenient setting for our short break away in Norfolk. Would thoroughly recommend to anybody looking to stay in this area.

absolutely beautiful cottage really nice garden my work mates throughly enjoyed the sauna and hot tub, can't fault the place good location will certainly use again. 5 star all day.

We had a perfect weekend break accommodation as described 👌. Joanna left homemade brownies that lasted all of 5 mins 😁 milk, eggs, yoghurts, vase of flowers, cream, and cookies all made the first impression Perfect. We walked throughout the large grounds used the jacuzzi, games room with toilet which had sky tv on a large screen pool table tennis table football and ice hockey game, lots of seating to watch. Very quiet and secluded area 20 25 mins from beccles local pub unfortunately we did not use. Farm shop on site with local fresh produce and everything thing you might need if you have forgotten anything. At night no light contamination so on a clear night we could see a sky full of stars planets etc. Overall perfect place Perfect accommodations and perfect guest 👌 A1.

We arrived in good time and had clear instructions from the host. The photos do not do Justice to this beautiful country cottage in an idyllic setting. Complimentary wine & chocolate. Everything we could have asked and wished for was here. Space, nature, games, BBQ and hot tub, kitchen amenities . We were 7 adults, 1 child and dogs. We never once felt overcrowded. We have literally all had the best short holiday ever. We would book another stay in a heartbeat and stay longer. None of us wanted to leave. Thank you so much.

Fantastic property, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend. Richard was very helpful!

We stayed for 3 nights at Julie’s place. It was excellent. The kids loved the animals and having a safe garden area to play in freely. The beds were really comfortable. The setting was really nice and everything was there that we needed. I would definitely recommend a stay here and if we are back in this area I will be hoping to book it again!

Kate's cottage is absolutely gorgeous, perfectly contained and clean. It has a lovrly big driveway for easy parking too which is a massive plus. The location was great with it being only a 3 minute drive to the beach and very close to other seasides and towns. It was our first family holiday and it was an absolutely perfect little getaway, we'd definitely recommend it!

We’ve just returned from a week in Thyme Cottage and have had an excellent time! We were a family with a dog and found the enclosed garden a bonus. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes / utensils and we were able to cook a full Sunday dinner and also able to prepare meals throughout the week. The washing machine and dishwasher also came in handy. The property is well placed in a lovely village with plenty of walks for our dog from the property. The property is well situated for Norwich City centre and also a choice of supermarkets with only a 10-15min drive away. UEA is also only around 25mins away. Thank you so much for a great stay. We would recommend this property.

Nikki and Mike have created a wonderful retreat. First impressions were of a peaceful, beautifully decorated tiny cottage, in a quiet location, with lots of birds in the pretty and secluded back garden. Our holiday was started in style with a delicious welcome pack, and there are a bunch of nearby shops and supermarkets to stock up from. There are plenty of walks from the house, and just a short drive each to Southwold and Beccles, for lovely beaches and great river walks and boat hire. Just a little further away is Norwich with lovely shops and restaurants and an amazing cathedral. Lots of guide books and brochures plus maps will give you inspiration for your stay. The accommodation has all you'll need for a stay, everything is thought of, with lovely sheets and pillows and a super comfy bed. The underfloor hearing was terrific. We didn't use the log burner, but when we come back in winter it'll get lit! We felt very welcome, a bit spoiled, and very lucky to have found this gem.

We had a fantastic time in North Norfolk and Zoe & Toby’s home was a joy to come back to each night after a day of sightseeing. We had a child of 5 years and a toddler 15 months. They both loved the house, especially the toddler who loves going up stairs. We were made aware of the fire place and steps so knew it would be a minor inconvenience with the baby but that was fine considering all the pros of the property.

Good location for beach, spacious enclosed garden with field views at front and more privacy at the back. Plenty of parking space. Great if what to get away to recharge batteries!

Yolanda is a wonderful host and you can see why she is a superhost. She kindly organised for a stairgate to be provided for us which was a big help. The cottage is cute and cosy, renovated with some lovely retro touches, perfect for the 3 of us and our dog. It has everything you could need, a well equipped kitchen and the beds and pillows were really comfortable! Water was piping hot. A lovely english country garden is to the front of the property and a sunny courtyard to the back. If you have a dog, note that the rear is open to farmland. Yolanda left some lovely welcome treats for us which was much appreciated after a long drive. The village is small with lots of friendly neighbours, we particularly loved the peaceful walk to the beach and easy stroll to the Star Inn pub...also the yummy fresh donuts at Sea Palling! A great stay and we came away well rested.

A beautiful cottage in a private, pretty and quiet area, but walkable to a very good pub with great food and the is beach very close too. The cottage was perfect and had everything you needed plus Victoria and Bertie were very good hosts. The cottage is a great base to get to all the pretty costal towns, and in a quiet setting.

We only stayed two nights here but wished it was longer. Location is amazing, with open fields and wildlife around. The accommodation was clean, spacious, well equipped with quality items and a very comfortable bed. The shower was great but remember to take your own towels. It was good to know that Annette was on hand should we have any queries but she left us to it. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Norfolk.

We have just had a long weekend at Diane and Colin's cottage and it was wonderful. The setting is beautiful; rural, quiet and peaceful, but also close to amenities and the coast. Inside the cottage is just perfect for a getaway with very warm and welcoming decor and furnishings; a real home from home with everything you could possibly need. Diane and Colin are the perfect hosts, they have thought of everything, nothing was too much trouble and the welcome goodies were much appreciated. We thoroughly recommend a stay here and hope to be back again ourselves. Thanks for a great few days Diane and Colin (and of course Merlin 🐕).

Back from an amazing weekend stay at the Cowshed. The accommodation was spotless, lovely welcome basket on arrival and a well stocked kitchen if you are looking to cook in. Used as a base to explore on the bikes and was perfect in every way. Bath a lovely touch after a long cycle ride! Rebecca was very responsive to answer questions and would 100% recommend to others. Located in a beautiful part of the world.

We had a lovely stay in Sea View. The house has a lot of character and luckily the weather was good enough to make use of the private garden as well. Plenty of parking outside and lots to explore in the surrounding area. Jill was a great host, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

We were so bowled over by the superior quality of this beautiful converted coach house that we immediately rebooked for another stay later this summer! The house had everything we needed and was beautifully and tastefully appointed. Absolutely loved the kingsize bed which was so comfortable. Love the privacy of the house and backyard even though you are in the heart of the village and the friendly owners next door. Can’t wait for our return trip.

Dolphin Cottage is charming and well located only a hundred yards from Southwold's main street. The cottage is well set-up for up to six people, was spotlessly clean, is well equipped, has on-site parking and easy access. Nick communicated well before we arrived. Happy to recommend it.

Fantastic weeks stay, lovely and peaceful. It was the perfect spot to explore with so much to do all within a 20-30 minute drive. The Waterhouse was lovely and clean and as described and Zara was always fast to communicate - excellent host!
