The village has a butcher, baker (have not found the candlestick maker yet, although candles are plentiful!), fishmonger, delicatessen, newsagent, book shops, chemist, Post Office, grocers, clothes and shoe shops.

The village prides itself on the individuality of its stores. Ladies looking for a hat for that special occasion cannot afford to miss visiting The Hat Shop - an experience in itself. There are Barclays and NatWest branches in the village.

Eating in or eating out, the village can cater for your needs -
Fishes Restaurant and The Hoste Arms are both village favourites. Locally caught fresh fish can also be purchased from the 'fish sheds' along the coastal road and in the summer season buy some samphire - a local delicacy - cook quickly and serve with butter!

Burnham Market has two tennis courts, bowling green and children's play area just a minutes walk from the cottage.
