Paula and Andrew Wright
Vista cottage is the nicest cottage we’ve stayed in during our many years of visiting Norfolk. The cottage is much bigger than we expected with stunning views across the salt marshes. We enjoyed the comfort, cleanliness and cosiness that the cottage gave us. Vista Cottage is incredibly well resourced. Very much home from home. We loved our hosts Gloria and John who made us very welcome and will definitely be booking another week in this memorable cottage.

A clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage with an amazing view across the salt marsh. Ideal for walking the coastal path and bird spotting. However the stairs are very steep and would not be suitable for anyone with mobility problems.There is a local convenience store and pubs/restaurants within easy walking distance and with a bus stop just down the road you don't even have to get the car out.

A delightful cottage in a beautiful location. Stunning views over the marshes and right on the Norfolk coastal path. A stones throw from the lovely White Horse pub, close to shops and public transport. Cottage has a large garden and the added bonus of a summer house so garden can be enjoyed on cooler days.We loved it and will definitely go back.
