A beautiful, cosy and quirky cottage. The attention to detail is very good as is the cleanliness and it has every comfort you need. The kitchen is really well equipped and had everything we needed. The beds are comfortable and the sofas in the lounge are lovely and squigy. We didn't use the log burner or put the heating on as we found the cottage to be really warm and we were there last week (October) and the weather was very cold and windy. We parked in the Cadogen Road car park and downloaded the parking app so that we could just renew the 24 hour parking on our phone instead of having to go back to the car park. Once you have paid for the parking this does cover you for other local NNDC car parks but obviously double check. It is a 5 minute walk from the car park to the cottage. You can draw up outside the cottage to unpack and repack your car but cannot park for any length of time which we didn't find a problem at all. The position of the cottage is perfect for accessing all the shops and the sea front in Cromer. It is attached to the Wellington Pub which we did not find noisy at all. On the Saturday night the bar on the other side of the road did have a band and yes we could hear it but as soon as 11.00pm arrived no more noise. The stairs are steep but I think it just adds to the charm of the property. My husband is a blue badge holder and he managed the stairs without a problem. Highly recommend and we will definitely be returning.

The cottage was charming and characterful but we found the mattress and sofas uncomfortable. In general, it seemed a little worn and in need of a deep clean. In addition, the stairs would have been safer with a complete banister. However, the kitchen was well equipped and the owner very responsive to queries.
