Light shades in kitchen dusty, rubbish left on picnic table outside. Recliner outside broken with bolt missing causing one of our party an injury.. Location was good for the beach, listing said parking for 4 cars, could barely fit 3 so bit misleading. Also pictures were also misleading as you arrive at the rear of property so pictures should show this. Enjoyed our stay but would not return.

Clean, modern and comfortable. Really thoughtful that I was notified of an oil delivery due while I was staying there. I would just highlight that the oven and hob took a really long time to heat up / cook on - may need looking into. Also the shower head in the upstairs bathroom had a broken fixing so it would not fix to the rod properly - propped up with the attached soap dish! Not necessarily noticeable unless you are using it, as with the oven / hob - you wonât know unless you use it. These are not complaints, hopefully helpful. Thank you for a great week.

Everywhere was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. There weren't many food places which delivered, but Sherringham was less than 10 minutes away and had lots of take aways to choose from. We had lots of fun playing on the grass as we took balls, bowls and Molkky with us and there was plenty of room.
