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. Cosy lounge with a very welcome log burner. Very comfortable beds and nicely decorated bedrooms. The kitchen is adequate, but just needs some TLC in terms of sorting Read moreall the cupboards, as theyre jam packed with mostly unnecessary equipment. Hide

Comfortable cottage in a good location. Spacious with comfy beds. Kitchen well equipped but a bit cramped. Heed the warning on the cottage stairs - we are not a tall family and yet repeatedly bumped our heads. Outside space at front limited and on main road. Would consider renting again if we were back in Norfolk - was cosy and good value.

Lovely cottage in a great location. The road is quite noisy so we slept in the built in double bed which was quite cramped!! Matresses May need renewing soon as they could be better quality in bedroom 1 and the smaller back room. Warning ?? ceilings are very low, but not a problem is you duck. All very well stocked and a lovely stay over all.Read more Thankyou Hide
