We stayed with two families of fourand the cottage was surprisingly spacious, with a big enough dining table for everyone. The location was perfect - just a short walk to the beach and arcade, or a quick drive to explore more of Norfolk. The welcome basket was a lovely touch, especially the bread, baconand sausages which were delicious. The Norfolk tea was a real treat too. We'd definitely come back for another stay, loved it!

We had a really lovely stay at The Sheilings! The location is perfect-just a short walk to the beach and the village shop with a bar by the shoreline. The place itself is superb, especially if you're bringing dogs, with a lovely outdoor area. Even in December, the hot tub was warm, cleanand ready to go. Inside, the space is great for families, equipped with everything you might need. Paul was really helpful too, making sure our stay was smooth. Would definitely visit again!
