Saltwater is where the edges blur — between land and sea, indoors and out, summer’s golden haze and autumn’s quiet hush. When the crowds have retreated and the coastline exhales, this is where you come to remember what it feels like to breathe deeply again.
Tucked between Thornham and Brancaster Staithe, with just the coast path and a few treasured delis between you and the horizon, Saltwater is for wanderers and stargazers, for those who chase the kind of stillness that lingers long after you’ve left. Slip into slow rituals - coffee with sea views, firelit pages, a long lunch that turns into supper. This is coastal living, redefined. A place not just to stay, but to return to. Again and again. From £20 pppn.

In a place where Norfolk’s salt-tinged air rolls in from the sea, Hideaway is a home that blends coastal simplicity with quiet luxury. There are spaces to gather and spaces to slip away - from the reading nook tucked beneath the eaves to the morning coffee spot that catches the first of the day’s rays. And when you step outside, the rhythm of Brancaster gently unfolds: sandy wanders to the shoreline, wild swims beneath big skies, and coastal paths that stretch on for miles. Or take the slower route - lunch beneath vine-draped pub pergolas, strolls through Holkham Hall’s grounds, shell-collecting with little hands in tow. This is coastal living at its best.

Book from £22 pppn.

Just said “I do”? Then it’s time to disappear into your own little world.

Whether you’re the barefoot-on-the-beach type or more about log burners and lie-ins, our retreats for two are all about slowing down, soaking it up, and starting your forever with a little bit of magic. Think outdoor tubs beneath starry skies, sun-drenched gardens where you can share your morning coffee in peace, and coastal walks where the only decision is whether to turn left or right.

Tucked on the quiet edges of Burnham Market, King’s Cross is where indulgent weekends begin, everyday life slips quietly out of sight, and coastal relaxation awaits.

With two grand sash windows that frame Norfolk’s cinematic skies, and a bedroom made for stretching out and switching off, this is a space that lets you fully exhale. Sip slow coffee as the light pours in, flick through your tattered book from the king-size bed, and then head out: for beach wanders and long lunches, boutique shop hopping and suppers that last well into the night. That’s the King’s Cross way.

Think of this as your permission slip to slow down, say yes to spontaneous swims, and seek out the magic in the little things. Because this month is made for sticky ice creams, sea-salted skin, barefoot garden lunches, and rose-tinted sunsets that last just a bit longer than they should.

From days in the dunes and seaside rituals to exploring market towns and sipping sundowners with a view — here’s our edit of the moments that make an August escape on the North Norfolk coast feel unforgettable.

There’s something about the coast that makes you hungrier, don’t you think? Maybe it’s the sea air. Maybe it’s the long walks. Or maybe it’s just knowing that at the end of it all, there’s a burger waiting — perfectly grilled, beautifully stacked, oozing with flavour, and best enjoyed with sand between your toes or a pint in hand.

From village pubs with stories in their beams to tractor-pulled pop-ups that are unreal, we’ve rounded up our favourite spots — the ones we return to again and again

Whether you’re dreaming of sand-between-your-toes simplicity or rolling-hills-and-radio-silence kind of calm, our summer collection is full of retreats made for slowing down, switching off and soaking it all in. It’s beach days followed by hot tub nights. Wildflower walks and picnics in the shade. Morning coffees in suntrap gardens, and golden hour suppers that last long into the night. So whether you’re chasing the sea breeze or craving countryside peace, your summer escape is waiting - and it’s closer than you think.

A room with a story to tell. Once a railway carriage, now a haven of heritage charm and understated luxury. The Carriage wraps you in deep comfort, where warm wood tones meet contemporary style, copper gleams in the rainfall shower, and mornings begin with sunlight through the sash windows and coffee in bed. It’s character-filled, pet-friendly, and perfectly placed for exploring Burnham Market and beyond. The kind of place you’ll want to return to, again and again.

Book your stay at The Railway Hotel. Coastal living, reimagined.
