Location was perfect. One thing that had a massive impact on our holiday was the information about the door heights. The cottage information detailed that the stairs and door into the kitchen were low. However, although Cottage Holidays said this was a cottage why mention only these 2 areas when every door was a problem. My husband who is 6 ft 1 haRead mores cuts on his head. He had to stoop through the living through door, the dining room door and our bedroom door. I lost count of the number of times an expletive was heard. Be very aware, this property is really lovely but I am 5 8 and could go through each doorway, however if I had my sunglasses on top of my head they cash every time. My other issue was that we chose this property as we could bring our dog. There is a small paved area at the front door that they could use and no grass, so if your woofer prefers grass to do his business in you will have to walk them down the road. The welcome pack was lovely, information pack was lovely. Support from Holiday Cottages was certainly not. We informed them on the day we arrived after head injuries from all of us. We asked if they could relocate us and they refused despite local availability. Had the blurb described every door as being low we would never have booked it. Sadly, it ruined our holiday. We sent information also from their visitors book which describes exactly the same issues. Hide

Four of us stayed over Christmas week. The cottage is cosy and comfortable and in a wonderful location for walking and visiting the beach. It is on the main coast road route for the Coastliner bus. Plenty of places to eat nearby. Recommend Thornham Deli and Drovers. A good base for a coastal break.

Great location, with a lovely pub and a great village shop, and more excellent facilities down the road at Brancaster Staithes. Very close to the beach and some beautiful walks.
