Mundesley is a friendly village with a variety of tea rooms, cafe’s, pubs and shops.
People of all ages enjoy the award winning lifeguard patrolled beach (summer), and whether you
want to swim, surf, walk, picnic or just relax in a deckchair, its a lovely way to spend some of your
holiday.
You can enjoy a relaxing break, breathing in the wonderful sea air. (Visitors say they usually can’t
stay awake past 9 p.m. as the wonderful sea air is so refreshing and calming)! It’s so easy to fall in
love with this beautiful seaside retreat.
There are many pretty villages to visit along the North Norfolk coast and slightly inland, including
Burnham Market, Cley, Holt, Letheringsett, Salthouse, Stiffkey, Cromer, Fakenham, Sheringham,
Wells-on-Sea, Cley and Blakeney.
The historic village of Mundesley was listed in the Doomsday Book nearly a thousand years ago
under the name of Muleslai. Today it is a busy small coastal village with much to offer during your
stay at the cottage.

The long stretches of sand are popular with day trippers, holiday makers and locals.
At low tide, shallow pools are left on the beach - which are ideal for younger children.

Historically, the sea has provided Mundesley with a fishing industry, and you can still
see local fisherman putting to sea today and the old fishermen’s Norfolk cottages.
Beach fishing is popular with bass, cod, whiting and flounder the most sought after catches.
