As others have said, this is a lovely house and wonderfully close to the beach. We were there at Christmas and it was warm and nicely decorated.

A superb weeks holiday in a beautifully equipped, comfortable and tastefully decorated property. It provided a base for trips to Cromer, Holt, Great Yarmouth, Horsey and Aylsham. Also spent a lot of time at the beaches. Other highlights were wildlife boat trip at Horsey windpump and also watching seals!

We have had a wonderful 2 weeks enjoying everything Norfolk has to offer. The weather has been extremely kind so we have made the most of the beach at the end of the road (it's so close and a great beach) and also visited three National Trust sites... we even waved at the King and Queen at the Sandringham flower show!

This was a perfect place for us to celebrate a 90th and a 40th birthday as a family group of 14. The house is spacious and beautifully decorated, with all the facilities and equipment you could possibly want or need.

The hot tub was a major atRead moretraction for young and old, and was put to good use during our stay, as was the huge industrial sized barbecue and the well equipped bar which was an excellent source of entertainment in the evenings. Communication with the owner before our visit was very straightforward; and he was kind enough to forward by post a bluetooth speaker, which we had inadvertently left behind. We had a brilliant few days in Bacton, and would love to have stayed for longer. Hide
