We had a really good relaxing holiday, Eccles on Sea is a lovely place, with lots of walks, such as Sea Palling, Happisburgh. Both my dogs loved the beach and going into the sea, every day, we are looking forward to going again next year

Unbeatable location, ideal for our dogs. Also well placed for travelling to sites of interest.Well appointed property with everything you could need (bearing in mind that this is a self catering property). Fifth visit for us which reflects our opinion of the bungalow.

We really enjoyed our stay. Much better with the new kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine, although we didnt have a need to use them but would use them if needed.

Just returned from a lovely Family Holiday at Happidays. The weather was great so there was a lot of outdoor living. Loads of space in the garden for cricket and football and generally lounging about. We were 3 generations (inc a 7 year old and 4 year old). More or less immediate access to the gorgeous beach. Plenty of space inside the cottage. Read more Judy was a very helpful and friendly owner. No Wi-Fi - but not missed - in fact some might say a benefit. Would be very happy to stay again. Hide

This was our 12th year at Happidays. It is our idea of a holiday. Quiet, no phones, no Internet, bliss.

Lovely cottage. Perfect getaway - lovely private entrance to the sand dunes and the beach access is only down to the next cottage.

Be prepared to be adaptable - hot water in kitchen is a mere trickle - boil the kettle. The shower has low water pressure - you cant have a quick shower! The single track approach road is very narrow with troughs and ruts. The TV is too small for the lounge. The decking has seen better days. Despite the above, we have stayed here 5 times, anRead mored will return, the quiet location, closeness to the beach and secure garden for our dogs is incredible. Stalham (the nearest town) has everything you need supermarkets (who deliver) chemist, takeaways (some deliver) and many other shops. The owner (who you might meet) is delightful and very accommodating. Hide

Fairly basic but comfortable holiday let, well situated for access to the beach and with a lovely open view to the front. The access road was a bit nerve-wracking on arrival, but got easier with use.

We had a lovely stay at Happidays. We had everything we needed for a relaxing, cosy seaside break. The owners couldn't have been more helpful and friendly and went out their way to ensure we had everything we needed. The cottage was beautifully presented and we would definitely love to return again! Many thanks for a wonderful stay.

My sister snd I have enjoyed a summer holiday at Happidays for a number of years now.
