This is my third stay at the Bolthole, which says it all. It’s perfectly situated for some lovely walks and local towns and villages. It also has a good shop nearby. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants serving good food. The added bonus of good weather made for a perfect week.

The BOLTHOLE provides the perfect base for exploring the Norfolk coast and its many lovely villages. There are plenty of excellent restaurants in the vicinity, either within walking distance or a short drive. Having stayed here previously I knew what to expect and my guests were very happy with the facilities. As with my previous stay I ran out of time and hope to return soon.

Great location, good space, loved the log burner! The kitchen was well equiped and looks like it has been recently updated, other parts of the house look a little tired. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

Lovely time at coastal bolthole

Our stay at the Coastal Bolthole was delightful. The property is superbly located, close to all amenities and transport links and was very easy to find. The house itself was very clean and tidy with a great kitchen and lots of toys and games for our younster to enjoy. The host Simon was incredibly helpful and easy to contact, overall a very pleasant experience. Highly recommended!

Coastal Bolthole

Spacious, warm and modern house right on the coast, you can see the sea from the back windows. Great location for walks and birdwatching, just five minutes down to the path along the marshes. Handy shops and cafe round the corner. The house doesn't look much from the outside, but inside is huge and has everything needed.

September break

Spacious property, well-equipped with all essentials. It was well-situated for all the coastal villages and bird reserve. It was helpful that it was close to Deepdale Market for additional supplies. Although we booked for four there was only two of us in the end and it was probably too large for us. Lovely duvets!

Great location and great value

The bungalow was lovely, clean and modern, equipped with everything you could possibly need and great location for the beach and neighbouring sights ……..perhaps only downside the gardener arrived 8.00am Tues morning to strim the front lawn outside the bedroom windows with the world’s noisiest petrol strimmer, lol, did give us a bit of a start as we were in bed! That said would definitely recommend for great value for money.

Spacious, well-equipped house

We had an enjoyable stay in Burnham Deepdale, and the house had all we needed. Plenty of room for the two of us. The only thing I could mark it down on was the fact you have to climb into the bath over the taps to have a shower - a walk-in shower would have made life a lot easier! Otherwise, no complaints.

We are delighted that you had a great stay in our coastal bolthole. The weather was fabulous too. Thank you for your comments on the bathroom. Once our new kitchen is completed in December, our new project will be the bathroom. A stand alone shower is on the list! We hope to welcome you back in the near future.

Perfectly positioned for pubs, shops & Beach Walks

After lockdown this was a welcome break for open air walks, open air restaurant and pub meals. Property was spotlessly clean, spacious (had both north wing - bedrooms & south wing - kitchen & lounge diner), a new kitchen and more coffee mugs than we could count! We would start with coffee, kippers at the Thornton Deli, walk the coast (my wife is a birder) and then lunch or dinner at The Hero, White Horse, The Duck, or Jolly Sailor (my wife insists on the best!). 50 yards away is the petrol station, NISA supermarket, Information, Binocular shop, 4 pop-up art shops, and more. We are regular visitors to North Norfolk and this was the best located place we have stayed - except for The Hoste under the old management 8 years ago. Would love to go back and have recommended it to nephew and family.

Disappointed

I was very unhappy when I still had not received an email from VRBO by the evening before arrival containing the welcome information and had to telephone the host for details of the combination for the key safe, stress I could have done without. I had stayed at this property before and again it did not disappoint

We arrived tired and grubby after a 24 day, a transatlantic flight, and a 4 hour drive on the wrong side of the road from Gatwick airport. The house was clean, warm and airy, and ready for us to shower and crash. Beds were comfortable, main rooms and kitchen were roomy. The kitchen was perhaps the best equipped we have come across although we only cooked about 3 breakfasts and two dinners there. Given our late arrival we had no groceries, so we followed Simon's and Pally's directions to an excellent local cafe. Indeed, our hosts briefing notes were excellent for every aspect of our stay. The location was very handy for our birdwatching goals. Titchwell Marsh was about 10 mins away, Cley Marsh and Blakeney about 20 minutes away and Snettisham was 30 minutes away. This was our 1st visit to north Norfolk and we will likely be back. We woukd happily stay here when we come back.

Weekend break

Well equipped bungalow in a good location. The initial impression of the bungalow was good, clean bedding and the carpets had been hoovered, clean crockery, glasses and cutlery. Few criticisms, the pillows were feather and very flat, we were each issued with a bath towel but there were only a couple of hand towels for the bathrooms, we could’ve done with one hand towel each for when we washed our hair. My mother was unable to use the shower as it was over the bath and the bath was quite high up with the taps on the outside edge in the middle, I managed to clonk my knee on them most mornings lol! We did enjoy our stay and would recommend the property just a bit of a tlc needed cleaning wise.

A lovely stay at the lookout

We have just had a lovely 4 day stay at the lookout. The bungalow is lovely and spacious and very light. It is well equipped with everything you could need. The area is lovely too, very close to the salt marshes and a nice selection of pubs and shops all a few minutes away. It’s the perfect location for exploring north Norfolk. The only possible issue that I feel is worth mentioning is there is no WiFi and very poor mobile signal so if you have kids that like watching things on their devices be prepared that they may not be able to. The house has a good range of dvds, toys and games though which was a massive bonus. The owners we’re always quick to respond to any questions I asked. I would definitely recommend the lookout and would definitely return again.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We have worked hard to create a holiday home that we would like to visit with our family. Thank you for your comments about WiFi: we are in the process of getting this installed at ‘The Lookout’ so that our guests can stay connected whilst they are away. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.
