We arrived early on a scorching hot bank holiday with a dog to avoid travel in midday heat. We asked if we could enter 4hrs early as the property looked like it had been cleaned already. The host promptly said yes. It is spacious, has 3 toilets. The garden is very spacious, biff bats were out and the dog was loving life. Every item in the kitchen is present, all utensils, even tupperware, which proved very helpful. Lots of cooking pans and trays. We loved the sun room in the day and the cosy living room in the evening. Plenty of space for 4/5 people. We read a few of the books and watched some of the dvds. The beds are very comfy and everything looked and felt clean. Tesco was 10min drive away. Lots of beaches within 15-40mins, we never visited the same one twice. We visited The Village Inn pub in West Runton after visiting the excellent dog friendly beach. Great food, decent price and large garden with lots of benches. All beaches have dog friendly areas. We were splitting our days with hot mornings in the garden and later afternoon beach visits with the dog. There was so much more we could do and will definitely be returning. Our favourite stay so far in home rentals. One thing to remember...you are in the woodland and we did pick up a hitch hiker, a tick was found on Dad's leg one evening. The dog is covered, but us humans are not without spray if you're wearing shorts! The setting is tranquil and the peaceful location was exactly what was needed.

We had a lovely relaxed stay and ended up staying an extra couple of nights which our host organised for us when we requested this. The property had everything we needed and is in a peaceful location. Our dog enjoyed the garden. We liked the sun room and dining area in particular and spent most of our time there and in the garden. We did trips to Sea Palling, Cromer, Sheringham and Wroxham all within easy driving distance.

We could live there!

We absolutely loved this place. The location is virtually silent, an abundance of nature and wildlife, yet still only a lovely 20 min walk to a fantastic pub, and 20 mins drive to amazing beaches. We would live in this cottage if we could!
