Cottage vacation 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.

We enjoyed our stay at Lesleys place. Very near to the sea and close to all beeches we wanted to visit. The cottage had everything we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed the jaccuzzi. The cottage is dog friendly and had all things our 4 month old Labrador puppy needed.

We spent a lovely extended weekend at the barn visiting our family in Norfolk. The barn was clean, warm and comfortable and had everything that we needed. Jill and Phil were friendly and welcoming and check-in and check-out were easy. The super-king sized bed was comfy and the hot tub was an added bonus after a busy couple of days with the grandchildren.

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!

A lovely cosy cottage, beautifully maintained and very welcoming. Everything as described, had a very relaxing time and would recommend to everyone.

Really enjoyable weekend, excellent location for exploring the coast and Norwich. Fabulous accommodation with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and sofas. Excellent hot tub, well maintained and a very handy private garden for the dogs and adults. Garden furniture good for when the sun shines. The welcome pack with local produce was a nice touch and appreciated. Would definitely return!

We had a lovely weekend at Bengate Barn. We enjoyed the hot tub and the stargazing (and the gym). Good location to access whole Norfolk area. Everything required for a family stay is provided and we hope to come back. Thank you Clare for hosting us.

We had a really enjoyable and relaxing stay. Very dog friendly and great for the beach. We have also stayed in Rowena Cottage.

We always stay here when visiting north Norfolk. Love little cottage with everything you need.

Myself, my partner and family stayed in this property for my mums 60th. The cottage was as lovely as you can see in the pictures. The property was spotless and had a very homely feel to it. It was also a great size for 6 people. The area was super quiet and peaceful, with a lovely beach 15/20 minutes walk away. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends and family.

Lovely long weekend at Tamarisk Den. A cute little bolthole for two. Private and peaceful, cosy and warm, it had everything we needed. Really nice to be able to walk onto the Felbrigg Estate (grounds are free + great instructions from the host). Cromer not more than 10 minutes drive away for food and seaside fun. We'd definitely stay here again.

The Old Smoke Cottage was perfect for us as a family. Beautiful setting, good amout of parking and easy walking distance to a great restaurant, and the beach. Would definitely stay again.

100% peaceful, such a lovely place to chill out Would not think twice about booking again

Beautiful cottage, very clean, has absolutely everything you need. Lovely scones and cream were a delight when we got there. Even our dog settled very quickly with dog treats and bowls, blankets etc, thank you 🙏 will definitely be back 👍

We’ve just returned from a wonderful stay at such a beautiful quirky place and beautiful grounds and surroundings, just idilic. Great amenities. Very well equipped . Fantastic location for Southwold, Bawdsey and Rendlesham Forest . The hosts are very quick to respond to any questions . Thank you . My mother inlaw had the best time for her 80th .

Our stay was perfect, the house was a great place to stay to go into Southwold and other local areas. Very clean, and bigger than expected. The Angel pub is a stones throw away, great food, and a little local shop opposite. Would definitely stay again.

Diane and Colin very clearly want their guests to have a great time and do everything in their power to ensure that their stay is comfortable, enjoyable and restful. The location is ideal conventiently near and easy to get to the nearest town but just far away from the main road to feel really rural and secluded and peaceful. They have spared no expense in equipping the accommodation, which is really comfortable and indeed luxurious. We can't recommend Diane and Colin and their accommodation enough.

A fantastic place to stay with beautiful gardens. The garden room was fantastic and the house itself is really quirky and tastefully decorated. The house is really well equipped and I’m a lovely setting. We loved our stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage.. very peaceful (perfect for listening to bird song..loved it) and in a beautiful little village... cottage was very cosy...very clean.. had everything we needed... and really comfy beds.. perfect location for visiting the coast and Norwich... would highly recommend 😊 (diana and Amelia are perfect and responsive hosts)

A lovely cottage 1 min from the centre of Southwold but is in a lovely quiet side street. It is an easy walk to the coast and the pier, perfect for a relaxing break. And Jayne was very helpful when we had questions - thank you Jayne!

Would highly recommend this cottage for a peaceful and relaxing break. Lovely accommodation, well equipped and comfortable. Great location to explore this wonderful county and coastline.

My partner and I stayed here for Christmas and we had the best time. We were greeted on arrival by Feri and when we entered the cottage it was spotless and had everything we needed. Feri and Steve were very friendly and attentive and responded quickly if we had any questions. Would highly recommend visiting here and we will gladly book again soon.

Mathar was a fantastic host, this was an absolute bargain for how great it was, perfectly placed location to access different activities and was a clean and perfect place for our holiday.
