Guests say
Sea Star is a spacious and well-equipped cottage in Great Yarmouth, praised for its stunning sea views, direct beach access, and suitability for large groups and dogs. Guests appreciate the ample space, utility room, and secure garden. While some noted areas for improvement, the location and overall experience are highly regarded, with many looking forward to returning.
The property generally meets cleanliness expectations, but some guests have reported issues such as grime on surfaces, crumbs in drawers, and stained mattresses. These instances seem to be exceptions rather than the rule, as others have described their stay as clean and peaceful.
The location is consistently lauded for its direct access to the beach and dunes, beautiful sea views, and proximity to local amenities. It is a highlight for many guests, contributing to the property's appeal for beachgoers and dog owners.
Guests find the bedrooms spacious and the beds comfortable, with a warm and cosy lounge area. Some guests, however, mentioned poor quality pillows and furniture, suggesting room for improvement in this category.
The property is well-equipped, with a particularly well-stocked kitchen and useful utility room. However, feedback indicates that some outdoor furniture is tired and in need of replacement, and there have been comments about the need for maintenance and updates.
The provision of a welcome basket, including Prosecco, is a thoughtful touch mentioned by guests, enhancing their experience. However, it should be noted that such gestures are not guaranteed for every stay.

We were a party of seven adults, a one year old toddler and a dog. The house gave us all plenty of space. Big bedrooms, comfortable, warm beds, a lovely dining area and well equipped kitchen with three bathrooms so no queueing for a shower etc. The lounge has a superb view of the North Sea and direct access across the dunes to the beach. Ample parking for four cars of varying sizes too.

This was a very nice house in a wonderful location. The owner was excellent in solving our issues immediately even through a bank holiday period.We will definitely try to go again as all the family enjoyed our stay, and our dog loved the walks.
