Location
Lifeboat Cottage can be found set back off the main road whilst still in the heart of the village, Brancaster is one of the top spots to stay in North Norfolk centring around the harbour and its thriving fishing and sailing community.
The Norfolk Coast Footpath is right on the doorstep, running 47 miles along the North Norfolk Coast. The Beach offers miles of golden sand as far as the eye can see for you to walk on, relax on and build sandcastles. Popular with families throughout the year, it really is a bucket list beach to visit. The beach is within walking distance (probably 20 - 30 mins depending on your pace) but if you are carrying picnics and beach toys, you can drive down and park at beach car park, just a few steps from the sand.
The excellent village shop is literally one minute away on foot from the front door of the cottage and there is a car park here with access to the playing field and children's play area.
If you don't fancy cooking, The Ship Inn is just a bit further along in the village, maybe 10 minutes walk at most. It serves excellent food and is a lovely traditional pub.
