There is then a drop to the front door which if raining can only be accessed over wet and muddy grass. Again not made clear in the picture - the outcome is muddy feet being walked into the property. Sorry cleaners !! However an excellent property, which would benefit from some improvement to the above. Trevor and Linda Durrant, Abbots Langley, Herts

The cottage is well situated for visiting all the attractions that Norfolk has to offer with Holt just a short drive away for collecting any necessary provisions and the garden was a delight and secure for our dogs. Many thanks for making our break so delightful.

A welcome pack with basic essentials and a treat for the dog awaited us, which was a nice touch. The cottage is ideally situated to get out and about to most places along the coastal road. Not many facilities within walking distance but a nice little cafe at the end of the road. Set in a quiet location although roadworks beyond the back of the cottage were audible during the day. This did not cause us any concern as due to inclement weather, we werenât able to make the most of the beautiful garden which the cottage has. However, the garden was perfect for our dog who thoroughly enjoyed his stay. Inside, the cottage is attractively furnished in a modern style with most things youâll need for a comfortable stay. Like other reviewers, we did find the lack of curtains at the windows in the bedrooms to be a bit of a problem, especially at the time of year we stayed. The blinds are nice, but did not provide enough black out to sleep soundly. The double bed would also have benefited from having a little larger fitted sheet, as it was so tight it kept popping off the corner of the mattress. Would happily recommend to others and ideal if you have a dog.
