Lovely place to stay. Well equipped, and stocked with breakfast items, extra items can be collected from the main dining room which is part of the converted farm.Being dog friendly, meant a range of dogs coming to visit us while we sat outside taking in the sun from the other accommodations.
A peaceful hideaway in a beautiful location,
Spotless accommodation with complimentary essentials made my arrival extra special,
Would definitely love to come back one day 💜

Thank you Julia for your fabulous review of our dog friendly Norfolk Accommodation, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us by the beach, it is a shame we are not getting much of a summer this year but we hope this did not impede your adventures on the Norfolk Coast. It was a pleasure to host you and we very much look forward to seeing you again soon :)
Property was very nice inside, close to beach & walking distance of pub. Needs some tidying up of veranda area & driveway. Feel it was on the expensive side compared to other short stay accommodation used in area
Cute interior, but the first impression wasn’t great…needs a lot of TLC to clean green mold and just spruce up the front exterior. I can overlook that if it is a comfortable and clean interior, though. It was clean enough and had a decently stocked kitchen (although we hardly used it). However, it would have been a much better stay if sofa and bed were comfortable. It was very difficult to sit on the sofa without feeling you were going to slide off, and could not relax to watch a little tv or just snuggle….no depth and cushions slanted a bit. The bed was also hard and needed a foam topper or something to make it more comfortable. I know you get what you pay for, but I think a little extra comfort would have made a huge difference, and not cost much to do. A plus was the outdoor patio which was a nice place to sit and drink my morning coffee.

Liked: Location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
Disappointed
Fab location. Accommodation at first glance nice. Comfy bed.
But..... Couldn't sit outside due to drain smell so eventhough patio looked lovely it was not useable.
Shower was useless and just a dribble.
Smell of damp inside which could be from outside to be fair
No comfy chair to rest in. Had to lay on bed
No hob in the kitchenet. Very basic
And host dropped a large invoice on us for dogs but we were not advised when booking through vrbo. Charges not visible when booking. But apparently they are on other platforms.

Thank you Elaine for taking the time to leave a review, we spoke about your issues before and I am sorry that you felt the need to add them here too, bad feedback is very much welcomed but less-than-star reviews (which is what we strive for) does far more harm that it does good. Our facilities and dog charges are clearly stated, I am sorry that you missed this. As for the smell, we are still left wondering where it came from as no one else can find it or has mentioned it. We would have hoped for you to have had a much better time, we are very sorry that you didn't :(
