The details

With relaxed styling at its heart, this boutique cottage is full of wonderful surprises - from a sunken concrete bath to a jaw-dropping fireplace. The interiors are all joyously put together and manage to combine eclectic styling with pure luxury. With underfloor heating and the most striking fireplace, it’s the perfect romantic retreat all year round. And its sustainability credentials are also second to none, with reclaimed materials, fabrics and one-off finds only adding to Spinks Nest Cottage's undeniable beauty. There's a reason this property has featured in illustrious publications, such as Time Out, The Observer, The Telegraph, Elle Magazine and more, as well as appearing on the TV shows, Escape to the Country and Money for Nothing.

Inside, the cosy lounge has wonderfully comfortable armchairs positioned perfectly in front of the handsome fireplace. With an Esse woodburner, a well stocked log basket and woollen blankets, it’s a truly welcoming space.

The kitchen has been delightfully put together with reclaimed units, characterful light fittings, and an exposed stone wall all adding to its timeless feel. The open shelving is styled to a magazine-worthy standard - with a perfect balance of rustic crockery, plants and hand-picked one-off pieces. And the addition of a zinc worktop and Smeg appliances gives a luxurious finish. The dining area next to the kitchen is chic and simple - with soft lighting, it’s the ideal spot for a romantic supper.

The bedroom is comfortable with a king size bed, hypoallergenic luxury 9000 spring wool mattress and beautiful textiles from Woolroom. And, of course, the styling is perfection.

The bathroom is glorious, presenting both the traditional and modern in equal measure. The green wood panelling sits delightfully next to the dark grey walls and cement sunken bath. There’s also a shower and luxurious Aesop toiletries to indulge in.

Spinks Nest Cottage is located in the village of Hunworth near the breathtaking North Norfolk coast. Head out to explore the marshes and breathtaking coastline. Take a seal trip from Blakeney Point to see some of the local wildlife. Or, if you’d rather head inland, then you can explore the beautiful wooded countryside of Glaven Valley. And, as with all good boltholes, Spinks Nest Cottage is also fortuitously located just a couple of minutes walk from the village pub, The Hunworth Bell.

Spinks Nest Cottage is a delight. From the moment we arrived we loved the place, it was the perfect size for us & our small dog. Everything was considered to ensure we had a great stay and the craftsmanship and design are just sublime. We loved the area and travelled a lot from here around N. Norfolk. Highly recommend & we can't wait to stay again!
