Julie
We were 7 adults, 2 children and 4 dogs. We found Beach House ideal, the gardens were secure for both dogs and children, and all facilities were clean and in good order. The icing on the cake were the dunes leading to the beach which you can access from the rear garden, which was ideal for dog walking. If youâre really lucky you may even see seals swimming just off the beach! I will really miss my daily walks here. The host has provided a very comprehensive book of information about the house and surrounding area, including takeaway leaflets etc. The Fishermanâs Return pub is just up the road, with lovely pub grub. There is a local convenience store, a post office and cafe also just up the road. Our host Jane went the extra mile when I phoned her an hour before our arrival to say weâd forgotten to bring our travel cot. Within the hour she had sourced, delivered and erected a travel cot for us, saving us the trouble of having to buy one on our way! I canât thank her enough for that. We took lots of throws for the lounge furniture in case any of our mutts chose to jump on them. If I had any criticism at all it would be the pillows; they werenât awful, just a bit puffy for us, but I understand why they might be better for a rental property. Recommended places to visit: Wroxham Barns, The Broads (we went to Acle), Hemsley (if you like amusement arcades), Norwich City, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.

Very clean. Downstairs is all accessible for a wheelchair which was great for my mum. Great outdoor space. The kitchen had everything you need and was a great space to eat and play games in an evening. We had a lovely time

Very clean and comfortable with all we needed, even buckets and spades for the kids to use. Lovely little village. Pub couple minutes walk is very nice and chippy sells good food. Definitely a great place to rent .
