About this property

Unwind in front of the woodburning stove in the sitting room while a film plays on the Smart TV, or perhaps enjoy some quiet reading time from the selection of books. Why not take advantage of the external games room with a game of table tennis, or make use of the picture-perfect garden with a barbecue dinner?

The weather was kind so we were able to sit out in the beautiful gardens, so peaceful. The property had such charm & all we needed, to be ultra comfortable & it was spotlessly clean. Bacton ideal for visiting the surrounding areas. Beaches WOW!

Upstairs shower only really useful for children and even then we felt water splash was damaging to paintwork. Bathrobes would be useful for the downstairs shower. Games room and equipment 6/10 Overall though an excellent place to stay.
