Guests say
The Beaches cottage in Norwich is praised for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and well-equipped nature, with a large, enclosed garden ideal for pets. Guests appreciate the nearby beaches and the welcoming touches from the owners, though some suggest the beds could be more comfortable and the decor updated.
Guests consistently mention the cottage's cleanliness, noting everything was 'clean to a T' with clean towels, bathroom, and bedding.
The location is frequently highlighted as ideal, with proximity to lovely beaches and the coast, contributing to a peaceful stay.
While the layout and spaciousness are appreciated, several guests find the beds, particularly the main double bed, to be uncomfortable due to softness and dated mattresses.
The property is well-equipped and has a secured garden, but some guests feel that the facilities could benefit from modernisation and the addition of a washing machine.
Guests are touched by the thoughtful gestures of the owners, such as leaving cake, milk, and other essentials. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Lovely cottage although would benefit from clear sign on arrival as cannot be seen from parking and felt a bit like we were trespassing..especially as no picture of accommodation is provided on website to check against and property is attached to main buildings! Heating is available in form of electric heaters and were needed as was quite cold after being out for the day. Very clean and nice layout. Main double bed very soft and not that comfortable when 2 people in the bed! Single beds no issues.
