A lovely bungalow in a good location. Near to the harbour and coastal walks. Two nice pub/restaurants within walking distance. The bungalow was exceptional and had everything we needed for a good break. It was very clean and welcoming. The owner’s communication was excellent.

Delightful house in a perfect position

I had a very relaxing stay at The Seashells with a friend and we loved the fact that it was in the perfect place for us, between Holkham and Thornham. So near to some shops and with a stunning view at the back over countryside.

Had a lovely long weekend break here. Gorgeous cottage, so peaceful - overlooking fields. Perfect location for exploring North Norfolk. The cottage is clean and very well maintained - everything you could wish for. The kids especially loved the football table in the games room.

Fantastic property

A great clean and modern property with everything you need! We decided to stay at this property while up visiting the RNLI at Wells-Next-Sea to remember a family member who had their name on their new boat. The property catered for 4 adults and 2 children comfortably. Communication from the owner was fantatsic from the moment we booked and sent clear instructions / information at the beginning of the week of our stay. We would highly recommend. Thank you

Lovely Property bigger than expected

We booked short notice after finding property online in area we wanted to be in but apprehensive that it was going to be alittle small for 4 plus baby, received confirmation promptly from Karen. Karen provided detailed messages on things to do and places to eat etc which was helpful as weather didn’t hold out completely during stay. Upon arriving we were over the moon as photographs did not do it justice, bigger than pictured and lovely decor real homely beach feel. Lounge will comfortably fit more than 4 (three on sofa, chair and beanbag). Dining table sits 6 plus little one maybe one more too. Bedrooms well furnished and roomy. Beds comfortable.Clean and tidy, lots of utensils, tv and even games. Quiet area with lovely views and pubs, fish lovers will be happy as crab shack and other fishy shops/stalls near by, plenty for non fish lovers too. We had a lovely stay and would stay there again if we visit this area. Karen was friendly and helpful a lovely host. Many thanks ‘The Branchofs’

June weekend

We had a lovely weekend stay. Seashells was very comfortable, clean and quiet. The view from the rear garden over the fields is great. Take your binoculars to look for the deer we saw and many different birds. Just a short walk from the shops and the very good White Horse pub. Would stay again.

First time in Norfolk

We had an excellent few days at the Seashells, with very good communication with Karen beforehand. The bungalow is so tastefully furnished, very comfortable beds, more than enough equipment in the kitchen. The weather was sunny but cold, the conservatory made a perfect sun trap. We fitted in a visit to Bircham windmill, Cley for bird spotting, and even a very speedy but invigorating swim at Brancaster Beach. It has been a great introduction to North Norfolk, so much more to explore another time.

Wonderful retreat.

Very comfortable property providing all that we needed (age range 10 to 88yrs! ). Conservatory, table football and south facing garden was great. A lovely base to have a variety of days out, along the beautiful Norfolk coast. And of course, walking parts the coastal path. A small issue we did have at the property was resolved rapidly, by contacting the owners. Karen is brilliant with communications via WhatsApp. I definitely recommend this property.

Great trip in a lovely location

We love Norfolk and were delighted to find the property available for the August Bank Holiday when we booked during the year. Communications with Karen were excellent as was the check in process. We know the area well and the house is a 2 minute walk from The White Horse and 5-10 mins from the Jolly Sailors. The road is very quiet with lovely, expansive views across open countryside to a lovely wood. The rooms were all well kept with nice linen, towels and very comfy beds. All of the fixtures, fittings, crockery etc was of a very high standard (Marks and Spencers have done very well) and there was plenty of it. The football table in the games room provided endless hours of fun with our 12 year old as did the free Netflix. There were no real issues but I had reason to contact Karen for a couple of things and some local advice and she responded quickly and well. All in all, I would heartily recommend Seashells for a family or even a couples trip. Thank you Karen and Mathew for allowing us into your holiday home.

Excellent Bungalow

The whole process of booking and communication with Karen, the owner, was first class. The bungalow itself is beautifully furnished and extremely well equipped. It was spotlessly clean on our arrival. The west facing garden is a real bonus. Brancaster Staithe itself is a good location, with two pub/restaurants and a selection of small shops (and larger supermarket/filling station) in a complex very close by.

Comfortable and tastefully furnished. Owner telephoned before holiday. You must eat at the White Horse within walking distance of the cottage. It’s expensive but the views and food are first class. We also ate at The Hero which served a delicious Sunday roast.
