The bungalow was very well presented and equipped with everything we could need. The garden was lovely and private, sadly we didnât meet any ducks , hopefully next time. We would recommend this property to anyone who enjoys a tranquil base that is only a couple of minutes drive from the sea front.

There is also a bus passes the end of the road at regular intervals. Perfect place for us, lovely dog walks in Snettisham woods and park, and also at nearby Sandringham. Don't miss the beach Front Cafe at Old Hunstanton either, real good quality food and service. We may not be back, as it's a long way to travel for us, but would fully recommend this cottage. Fully enclosed back garden for our dog too, something we always look for. (Many say they are, but aren't for small dogs, this is!) Perfect place.
