Welcome to Bishop’s Boats 🦭

Operating on the North Norfolk coast since 1965 and departing daily from Morston Quay, Bishop’s Boats offers scenic seal-spotting adventures to Blakeney Point, home to one of England’s largest Grey seal colonies.

The trip begins with a gentle journey across the water, passing through tidal creeks, salt marshes and open coastline as Blakeney Point comes into view.

Out on the water, there’s plenty to spot - from seals swimming alongside the boat, to groups basking in the sun on the sandbanks. It’s a chance to see these remarkable animals in their natural environment, whilst also taking in one of the most beautiful stretches of the North Norfolk coast.

With the fresh sea air, ever-changing views and the occasional very curious (and very cute) seal swimming alongside, it’s an unparalleled experience that feels quintessentially Norfolk.

And one that’s been enjoyed by generations of visitors for over 60 years!

There are cottages you stay in, and then there are cottages that stay with you - Monkey Puzzle is the latter. Tucked just a stone’s throw from Burnham Market’s cobbled heart yet wrapped in a cocoon of calm, this chic hideaway is all about life’s finer details ✨ Think alfresco suppers sizzling on the barbecue, evenings of stories and w**e by the fire, and barefoot mornings that lead you to beaches, dunes and secret sands. And when the day winds down? A dip in the hot tub beneath Norfolk’s starry skies.

- Luxurious raised hot tub
- A short stroll into the heart of Burnham Market for award-winning dining, cafés, boutique shops, and more

There’s nowhere quite like Holkham. Nowhere at all. A historical house nestled within 25,000 acres of parkland, rippled beaches and pine forests, here lies a place you can spend an entire day and still not experience it all.

Explore the stunning state rooms and grand glass houses, stop by the coffee shop before heading to the woodland playground spot, hire bikes, swing across the treetops and take endless videos of the memories you make. Walk amongst the dunes, wander around the walled garden and take in the beauty of Holkham’s diverse landscapes. This truly is the gem of North Norfolk.

From a trading post during the Middle Ages to the training ground for Lord Horatio Nelson, who learned how to row on the creeks of the River Burn, this is a place steeped in nautical history.

Follow the coastal path and you’ll discover boats bobbing in the harbour, muddy saltmarshes, Konik ponies grazing in the autumn sunshine, winding estuaries and towering sand dunes. And waiting at the end of it all? Miles of peaceful golden sands.

Round things off at - a laid-back yet lively pub with a roaring fire to warm your cockles and a menu to please your taste buds.

Could there be a finer way to while away the time than cosying up in this stunning barn conversion, the clink of bubble filled glasses dancing up into the beams, as you watch the colours of sunsets through the wall of windows with your favourite people? Or perhaps you’ll see the sunrise across the water of Brancaster beach instead. Either way, there’s nowhere quite like 2 Manor Farm Barns.

Sleeps 10 | Brancaster | Dog friendly

- A short stroll to the beautiful golden sands of Brancaster beach instead
- Wander just down the road for long lunches or dinner at The Ship
- Less than 3 miles to Thornham for farm shops, award-winning pubs and fish n’ chip, antiques, delis, w**e shops and more

Yes, we said it. The much-too-early C word. But only because there really is nothing quite like a North Norfolk Christmas, and our cottages are already filling up fast ❤️

That feeling is escaping to the edge of the world, to a coast full of never-ending beaches, winters walks, lively pubs with roaring log fires and a home-away-from-home that fills you with all the festive feels. A luxury retreat ready for you to make some forever memories, no matter what you’re looking for: a big and beautiful retreat where the kids can run wild, quiet corners can be found & the Christmas spirit fills every room. Or perhaps a cute n’ cosy cottage you can snuggle up in, just you and your absolute favourites, or something perfectly in between.

Make this Christmas memorable for years to come ✨ Comment ‘Christmas’ and we’ll send you the link to our collection!
