  This was our 3rd stay in different cottages in Norfolk and our favourite so far.

  It was clean and tidy when we arrived and appreciated the welcome gifts of tea, coffee, milk and a box of chocolates. We were a 9 minute walk from the beach and were fortunate to have great weather so spent most of our time there. My husband and daughter had a surfing lesson, which was the highlight of my daughter’s week, whilst my son preferred heading to the amusement arcade, and the dog learnt her way to the beach very quickly insisting on walks there at every opportunity. At the end of the road there’s a lovely butchers and deli, a Post Office, greengrocer, gift shop and clothes shop just around the corner. Fish and chips from The Ship Inn were delicious but we were disappointed by the slowness of the table service when we ate in the restaurant. We also ate at The View Restaurant, which had both lovely food and excellent service. The property has a downstairs bedroom and bathroom. My disabled father in law came with us and I only provide this as a comment not a criticism as the property does not profess to be set up for disabled access. Both the front and rear entrances have a couple of steps so you can’t wheel a chair into the property. Also, the downstairs bathroom and shower are quite small making it difficult for a disabled person to move around and shower successfully. My father in law still enjoyed his stay despite this. The only negative comments we would make about the property are that slightly better cooking facilities would be appreciated such as sharp knives (they were all blunt making cutting veg difficult), a large frying pan/wok, a couple of ovenproof dishes (I had brought ingredients for lasagne but then had nothing to cook it in) and a proper chopping board. Also we couldn’t find instructions for the tv/DVD etc and had to give up using them by the final evening. However I’m just being fussy. Overall we had an amazing stay and didn’t want to leave. We have already booked to go back next summer.

  “We didn&#39;t realise that 35 Siesta Mar was on a chalet park until we arrived. However the chalet park is lovely - the chalets are well spaced out with lots of grass and flowers and a small area behind the chalet with a useful washing line. Whilst we were there (July, beginning of the school holidays) the park was very peaceful and quiet and seemed to mainly appeal to older couples. The chalet is small but very well organised with everything you need. There were lots of helpful touches like little labels on the the switches to tell you what they control. There was no free cupboard to store food in the kitchen, but we moved a trolley out of one of the bedrooms for the duration of our stay and it was perfect for cereals, fruit etc. There is a Tesco Express 5 minutes walk away and a Waitrose a short drive away. The chalet is perfectly situated for a peaceful seaside holiday. There are lovely local walks both by the coast and in the countryside. You can walk to the beach in about 6 mins from the chalet if you want to go down steep steps. If you take a slightly longer walk (10-15 mins) through the village you reach the main beaches, which are beautiful and not crowded. There are some stones but large areas of soft sand too. There is a lovely fish and chip shop in the village that even offers gluten free and is to be highly recommended. There are also lots of places to visit nearby too. We booked this in a hurry as soon as lockdown restrictions allowed and weren&#39;t really sure what to expect, but had a wonderful holiday and would definitely go back. Thank you for such a lovely, well maintained holiday home. A lot of thought and care has gone into looking after this chalet to a very high standard.<br /> ”

  “Booked very last minute, primary requirements were close to the beach and easy access shower. Chalet is on a site which is excellently maintained, chalet itself was well maintained, clean and provided everything needed (including windbreak for the beach, umbrella for sitting in the sun) Dark skies at night (just what I love) and incredibly quiet - slept through the night, I didn&#39;t even hear the torrential rain on the Thursday night. There are no services on site, but the site is a 10 minute walk to the village centre, where there is a butcher, baker and grocers, pharmacy and other local services. There is a Tesco Express one minute walk away, next to the petrol station. Although the beach is 700 m walk away, to reach the beach you need to negotiate the steep stairs down the side of the cliff. I would recommend walking the 10 minutes into the village centre for easier access, however it&#39;s worth the climb down and you can walk along the beach towards the village centre and come back that way. I also walked towards Trimmingham, and went on the beach there. There didn&#39;t seem to be too much in the way of evening dining, during the day, plenty of choise for fish n chips, etc otherwise a couple of hotels really was all I could find - but I didn&#39;t look that hard. We drank at The Star Inn one early evening, but didn&#39;t eat there. We did have one takeaway, I would recommend the New Sage chinese takeaway. For walking, the lanes were fairly quiet, and the pavements around the village well maintained. There were plenty of short cuts, if you want to explore the village.<br /> Overall, a thoroughly relaxing stay and the weather was wonderful”

  This was our 2nd visit to Flint Cottage.

  The house itself didn’t disappoint with plenty of room for myself, husband, 2 kids, dog, and my father in law, who spends most of his time in a wheelchair. We love being so close to the beach and the kids (age 10 and 13) enjoy going off by themselves for an ice cream or visit to the arcade. I love the independent shops and always treat myself to a trip to Jupe! The only thing that let us down was the cleanliness of the property. We are not normally fussy about such things but for the amount we were paying, and not being able to gain access until 4pm, we expected a better standard. On this occasion under the furniture hadn’t been cleaned where we found lots of dust and two small shards of glass by one chair. The dishwasher needed a deep clean and we had to re wash the crockery and glasses (one of which was cracked) by hand before they could be used. Dirty crockery had also been left in the dishwasher upon our arrival. The skirting boards were very dusty and the main dressing table needed cleaning. Also, the handle for the grill didn’t fit and there were no oven gloves, both of which were really needed. Once we had cleaned the above, we really enjoyed our stay. It was just a disappointing start but it wouldn’t stop us returning on our next visit to Norfolk.
