    The house itself is impressive, the large dining room in particular was great for our extended family. The beds were not the most comfortable we have ever slept in but ok. One or two minor problems were dealt with really speedily. We loved our week here!

    Broken chairs and lamps, shower doors loose, pans that have seen better days etc. We also felt that it wasn’t as clean as it could be under the surface. There is a lot of clutter and personal items scattered around especially in the kitchen. It needs a really good sort out to make the space more neutral for guests rather than feeling like you are borrowing someone’s living space. I wouldn’t expect to find a cupboard full of food, for example or a very unorganised kitchen drawer full of odds and ends. Saying that we made good use of the appliances, the huge dining table and the laundry room. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and the location is ideal for the beach and shops (only 5 mins away). We didn’t use the garden as we felt it was too untidy to really enjoy it. The place just needs a bit of stripping back and updating and it will be ideal for large groups to enjoy lovely Cromer. Having private parking is a bonus! We took advantage of the short drive to sheringham and North Norfolk railway and would recommend a trip to Bewilderwood for children! Amazing place! Also recommend Bucket List for loaded fries only a few mins from the property and also enjoyed a few drinks in Gangway. Another small gripe was that the owner came to start cleaning the house before our check out time and when she realised we were still inside, sat waiting outside the door making us feel rushed. Otherwise, with some small improvements this property is ideal for multi generational families to use as a base for a typical British seaside holiday!
