Absolutely everything you could want it provided. ( I always take fairy lights to light up garden to see where dogs âgoâ but these werenât needed as thereâs 2 lots of outside lights )We stay in cottages a lot with our dogs & this is one of the best. The weather was wonderful too ( again we always pack for the worst weather but big coats werenât needed ) The beaches are walkable however a cut through across the road then through the cemetery leads to a decent size Tesco with friendly staff & a bus stop so you can get one to Old Hunstanton which is fab with Le Strange arms hotel / bar that do a brill 2 courses for £15 , have to sit outside with dogs is only downside but again staff were brill & made sure our plates were really hot. You can then walk through to the most stunning beach & it goes on for miles & miles. I saw a few negative comments re the grass not being cut, Iâd say , have a look in the little shed & do it if it bothers you that much, (we stay in cottages because itâs like being at home as opposed to a hotel , & things always need doing in a home ) Also we never saw any rats & our 2 dogs would have searched them out ! I wish I could post photos as we were lucky enough to see the northern lights & of course the wonderful red cliffs . A final mention to Lou who was brill, a welcome message to say it was ready early was great & she was available for any help . Literally canât wait to come to come back ( love Hunstanton if you couldnât tell ! )

We were extremely happy with queen bed and kitchen fixtures, and corner settee, close to Tesco for all our needs. Only consideration is kitchen blinds are rather dirty/dusty, otherwise a totally delightful stay and would 100% recommend to anyone visiting the area.
