Had the most amazing stay. Cannot recommend enough.
By Lucy on 28-Jun-2021Had the most amazing stay here and cannot thank Sara enough. The house is so well equipped especially for children. The rooms were beautiful and great having en suites. Just a stroll to the beach and within walking distance of most things. Lovely cake and drink waiting for us on our arrival. Cannot recommend enough.
We have never stayed in a house that had absolutely everything you need and more
By Charlotte on 12-Oct-2020We have never stayed in a house that had absolutely everything you need and more. Nor have we found anywhere that has so much for babies/children! We barely had to bring anything! Beds were so comfy and bedding was lovely. More than enough space for the whole family and a really beautiful ‘home from home’. Sara was the most accommodating host and went above and beyond for us. We can’t wait to come back again!
This is a very comfortable and spacious house
By David M on 18-Aug-2024This is a very comfortable and spacious house, we particularly liked the outdoor seating area. It was lovely to come in from the beach and for us all to enjoy a shower with plenty of hot water. The house is close to a busy road, which is quite noisy at times. Hunstanton is a lively town with a good atmosphere and lots to do for all ages. We however preferred Holme beach, you do have to book the car park in school holidays.
