Heacham Holiday Cottages
Heacham is a village with deep roots and a long connection to the sea, offering a blend of history, wide-open beaches, and a strong sense of place on the west Norfolk coast. At Crabpot Cottages, we provide a selection of Heacham holiday cottages and homes that give you the perfect base to explore the area’s heritage and coastline. Whether you’re visiting for peaceful beach walks, local history, or family-friendly days out, Heacham has a character shaped by the landscape and the community that has lived here for centuries.
The history of Heacham stretches back over a thousand years. The village is closely associated with the explorer John Rolfe, who married Pocahontas in the early 1600s; his family roots lie firmly in Heacham, and the village church still bears reminders of this transatlantic connection. Walking through the village, you can trace its development from a historic agricultural community to a coastal settlement shaped by trade, farming, and later, Victorian tourism. Our Heacham holiday cottages and homes place you right in the middle of this rich story, offering the chance to explore the village at your leisure.
Heacham is also known for its vast, west-facing beaches—an unusual feature on the Norfolk coast. These sands offer some of the best sunsets in the region, drawing visitors who come to watch the sky glow over The Wash. The beaches have long been central to village life, supporting fishing, foraging, and later, holidaymaking. Staying in one of our Heacham holiday cottages and homes means you’re only a short stroll or drive from these open stretches of sand, perfect for evening walks, wildlife spotting, or simply enjoying the sea air.
Nature lovers will also appreciate Heacham’s position between coastal and countryside landscapes. The nearby lavender fields, once a significant part of the local economy, still add colour and fragrance to the area during the summer months. Footpaths and cycle routes connect Heacham to neighbouring villages such as Hunstanton and Snettisham, offering plenty of opportunities to explore the surrounding environment. Our holiday cottages and homes make it easy to experience this mix of coast and countryside, with comfortable spaces to return to after a day outdoors.
At Crabpot Cottages, we offer a range of Heacham holiday cottages and holiday homes to suit couples, families, and groups. Each property has been carefully chosen for comfort, convenience, and location, providing a welcoming base to return to after a day on the beach, exploring the cliffs, or visiting nearby villages. Whether you’re looking for a cosy retreat or a larger family home, our cottages provide the perfect place to stay.
