About this property
Situated just a short walk from Hunstanton town centre and beach, lies this grand, Victorian carrstone property set over three floors. The property’s location and size, together with sea views from the second floor, make it an exceptional base for families and groups of friends wishing to explore Norfolk and its glorious coastline. Troon Cottage offers a spacious interior complemented by high quality fixtures and artwork, with four bedrooms all benefitting from en-suites facilities. Enter the property via a side entrance into the hallway where you can store your buckets, spades and towels after a day on the beach. To the left is the charming sitting room where you can settle down on the sofa, flicking through the Smart TV to catch up on your favourite shows or browsing Netflix for a movie night. Move into the large kitchen/diner and keep the chef of the group company whilst they get to terms with all the mods and cons, including a Range cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, while there is also a woodburning stove which offers a gentle warmth during mealtimes. When the weather is in your favour, throw open the bi-fold doors to bring the outside in, allowing seamless access to the enclosed courtyard from which drinks can be enjoyed in the sunshine. Completing the ground floor is a snug room with TV, perfect if you are looking for some quiet time away from the group, along with a cloakroom. The first floor offers two super king-size bedrooms, tastefully furnished in a boutique-style with ample storage and Smart TVs, as well as benefitting from en-suite bathrooms with choice of bath and walk-in shower, so you can decide how best to prepare for the day. Continue to the second floor where sea views can be admired, offering a king-size bedroom with double sofa bed and en-suite shower, while across the hall is a twin with en-suite basin and WC. If you do not feel like cooking one evening, stroll into the town centre to find a vast array of restaurants, pubs and takeaways, whilst there are also plenty of shops ranging from clothing and fashion retailers to newsagents and supermarkets, handy for picking up any essentials. Hunstanton also has a wealth of traditional attractions to enjoy, including award-winning sandy beaches, wide promenades, watersports, pitch-and-putt golf and the tranquil Esplanade Gardens, offering something for everyone. Venture along Hunstanton’s unique striped cliffs and watch the beautiful sunset, made special by its position as the only west-facing resort of the East coast. Other attractions in the area include Norfolk Lavender, England’s Premier Lavender Farm with over 100 acres of lavender fields, the RSPB Titchwell Marsh, which is a real haven for birdwatching, as well as the 18th-century Holkham Hall located adjacent to the village of Holkham.

Just a few things to improve it: - The slim oven has an issue with the fan - sounded like it was catching on metal might be worth looking at. - the mattress in the first floor bedroom to the left of the stairs is very hard, the springs were also quite loud when turning over in the night. - This same room could also use a full length mirror in it.

Cleaned between stays but not maintained, some of the televisions in bedrooms had no signal, taps in one en-suite were broken. Garden/ courtyard was a bit messy and uninviting. Nice location for both Hunstanton and Old Hunstanton.

The adults slept on the middle floor with kids in the top floor bedrooms. I was a bit worried the property would be a bit too grey from the pictures online but itâs tastefully done and feels cosy yet spacious at the same time, like a home. The kitchen was well equipped we found, plenty of cupboard and fridge space for all our food, and the cooker and dishwasher worked well. We found that the stair-gate needs to be replaced downstairs, itâs a bit fiddly and comes off at the hinges when you go to lift it, itâs not secure and would have been a problem if our toddler was one of those who likes to stress-test everything in the house! There was also a stair-gate missing on the top floor despite what it says on the listing - not an issue for us but might be for others. We had requested a highchair and cot; the high hair we managed to find in the store room located in the cosy, but the cot was not set up (I had called Sykes to make sure and didnât just rely on my online request). Luckily we had ours with us as we were heading elsewhere after our stay, not sure what we would have done otherwise, and our toddler sleeping with us was not an option. The heating was tricky to control - we had set the timer for specific times. I suspect the radiators need bleeding, just to be sure that itâs not a bigger problem. We managed with sweaters but it would have been nice to have that option. It would be really handy to have better instructions for the electric heaters too (what all the options mean) , might have been us but even so, better to have than not. When we stripped the beds we found the mattress covers and duvets to be stained (at least in our room) which wasnât great if Iâm honest. A bit of bicarbonate of soda and strong stain remover in a hot wash would do the trick, leaving everything nice and white. An extra set of keys would have been great - as much as there is a key lock, having an extra set takes away the pressure of having to coordinate timings.m and provide a bit of flex. Itâs something we noticed was commented on in the guest book. For all the above reasons Iâve given the property four stars across all aspects. We would however stay here again, itâs a lovely property, close to town and an easy drive to other parts of Norfolk that we wanted to explore. Weâve already recommended it to our families and friends. Book it if itâs available!
