Fabulous accommodation. Very clean, spacious and comfortable. Garden was perfect for young children/dog. Beautifully decorated and lovely beaches nearby at Mundesley and Bacton. Would highly recommend for family holiday.

A truly fabulous retreat… Loved our time here over Christmas, spotlessly clean, well equipped, would 100% return. Beautiful welcome hamper, bag of ice in the freezer, plenty of cleaning products and hand wash and loo roll in every bathroom. Although there is a wine fridge in the utility room, the only fridge space is an under-counter fridge which was ok for us as we took our big cool box (we stayed over Christmas) refroze our freezer blocks and kept replacing them, but for summer time, keeping everything cold might be a problem. A larder fridge would be very helpful and perhaps something to be considered. If we stayed in the summer, we would struggle to keep both drinks and food chilled. Of course if you book The Cart Shed as well, there is the under-counter fridge to use too. That said, it is a very well -equipped, comfortable and homely escape and one which we definitely consider staying in again.
