This is the second time we have stayed here & we love this house & location. It is so clean & comfortable & a bottle of prosecco, biscuits, chocolates & a lovely bottle of apple & elderflower drink - perfect for me as I don't drink, was a lovely added bonus. I really can't express how clean & nice this house is, highly recommend. If I was super super picky & would say that I would like black out curtains or blinds in the bedroom but that is the only thing that I could say that I would like added & certainty wasn't a deal breaker. Look forward to staying here again.

Lovely property. Excellent help during the holiday from Mark. Very close to beach and pub. Only downside was there’s only one shop so got to go to caister for food shop which isn’t a big deal. If you choose this property Im sure you’ll have a wonderful stay

This is the second time I've stayed in this lovely cottage. It's in a great location, close to the beach, shops, café and bus-stop (I don't have a car). I really enjoyed my stay. No complaints and I've already booked for next year.

A really lovely cottage. It had everything we needed and everything worked as it should. Great location for village amenities, pub, dunes and beach. We had a great week with our 2 dogs. The welcome gifts were a nice touch. Thank you very much.
