About this property
This delightful bungalow sits at the edge of the grounds of St Edmund’s Church in the centre of Hunstanton's conservation area. Situated just paces from a range of amenities and a sandy beach, with outstanding views overlooking the sea, See The Sea is a magnificent choice for up to six guests looking to escape to this coastal region of Norfolk. After a day meandering the coastline, look forward to curling up in the lounge and catching up on your favourite shows from the Smart TV, or simply gaze out the window and admire the distant sea views. Move into the kitchen, where you can rustle up a hearty dish, assisted by a range of appliances, before settling down at the dining table and enjoying the company of each other. This Hunstanton cottage offers two tasteful bedrooms, including a family room with king-size bed and two singles, along with a king-size, each neatly presented with ample storage. Start the morning with a refreshing rinse in the bathroom, choosing between the bath or shower over, before wandering the nearby supermarket and picking up the ingredients for a big breakfast. Less than half a mile away lies the golden sand of Hunstanton Beach, offering a combination of sand, shingle, and white striped cliffs. Take a short walk to the award-winning Esplanade Gardens which are located atop of the red and white striped cliffs of Old Hunstanton before relaxing upon the sandy trails of the beach. Refuel with some tasty fare at Henry's, voted the best fish and chips in West Norfolk or choose from several takeaways nearby to be enjoyed in your new home-from-home. Continue along to RSPB Titchwell Marsh, a lovely sandy beach and nature reserve where you can hire binoculars to observe the surrounding wildlife and birds such as the Marsh Harrier and Avocet.

Plenty of space in the bungalow. We were very impressed with the generous welcome pack especially the fruit bowl. Only thing we struggled a bit with was the lack of a full size cooker. Not used to a microwave or air fryer for cooking. Plenty of eating places within walking distance. Lovely play park near by which the grandchildren enjoyed.

Well situated in the town. Slightly quirky kitchen arrangements, Fridge is a bit ancient and a bigger toaster would be a good idea. Not much room for clothes. Oh and why is tv tuned to North and not East Anglia
