Just a couple of negative things for us. 1. Not having the channels on the T.V , we found having to download the app for each channel was very inconvenient and No.2 the shower was in a very strange position, like right in the corner which made us feel that we could not shower properly and the shower curtain was very annoying but this is personal to us as we are used to a glass screen . Oh and no tea towel for the kitchen, ee did not bring one as it said towels were supplied. And not having control with the heating. It was very cold a few nights we was there , my husband tried to go by the instructions in the book to boost the heating but to no avail . The cottage is in a ideal position for using as a base to go off to other coastal areas I.e Caister, Cromer, Yarmouth. All in all we had a good holiday .

The space was ideal for us and our dog. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay. We were disappointed to find a shower curtain instead of the screen as shown in the photographs. We would not have chosen to stay knowing this. We deliberately chose this cottage for this, as most cottages have shower curtains and this one didnt. We found the bin instructions, but they didn't actually cover our dates of stay. We put out what everyone else had. It was a shame the tv didn't work on normal channels, however we could access the app channels easily. Despite these small issues we had a lovely stay.

The garden is enclosed and very pet friendly. Being in the village means it's very quiet (which suited us) but only a 7 minute walk to shops and no more than 15 to beach,arcades and restaurants. 10 out of 10 stay, cheers.
