About this property
The Look Out, a well-positioned, first-floor apartment rests a stone's throw away from Sea Palling's shoreline upon the Golden Beach Holiday Park in Norfolk. Enjoying sea views and within walking distance to the beach and a hub of amenities, The Look Out offers a fully-equipped base for a family of four, complete with an enclosed garden, private sun terrace, and spacious living areas. Park up and make your way through the porch, where you can store your coats and shoes, before heading upstairs to the apartment. Start your break in the large, well-equipped kitchen, where you can prepare meals and keep on top of your washing, with a range of state-of-the-art appliances to hand. The living/dining room is flooded with naturally light and is stylishly furnished, where you can lounge upon the plush, corner sofa, catch up with your favourite programme, and dine as a family; if you'd prefer an alfresco affair, head down to the rear private and fully enclosed garden and make use of the barbecue, or set the table upon the terrace to bask in the Norfolk sunshine. When sleep calls, four well-appointed bedrooms await, a king-size, two doubles, and a single, the latter ideal for children, before completing your morning routine in the spacious bathroom. Once you're ready to head to the beach, firstly stop off at Sandy Hills Snack Bar, Reefs Bar, or delve into a bag of fish and chips, before renting a wetsuit to take to the water. Following the coastal path around, reach Happisburgh Beach, with the Happisburgh Owls centre nearby, offering a variety of experiences, or reroute to traverse the Norfolk Broads, with Horsey Gap Beach and Winterton Beach within reach; brimming with walking trails, beautiful scenery, and historical landmarks, be sure to visit the likes of the Museum of the Broads, stroll alongside River Ant, and discover the National Trust site of Horsey Windpump. With Norwich within reach, spend the day in the city, with Norwich Castle, Norwich Cathedral, and The Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell ready to tour, where you'll also find a plethora of amenities to enjoy, before returning home for sundowners. Enjoy all of this, and more, at The Look Out.

It offered our family both comfort and convenience. It was spacious, clean and organised with plenty of kitchen utilities. As in a previous comment a low coffee table would be a definate add and bedside lights would be good too.. The patio set was lovely to sit out on the watch the sunset and offered an alternative place to sit with a morning coffee. The car parking was great to have as well.
