About this property
Situated at the centre of Mundesley, just a short walk from the beach, lies this charming, two-bedroom holiday chalet, 1 The Dell. With tastefully-presented interiors and great access to nearby attractions and amenities, this property is ideal for families seeking a self-catered getaway to the East Anglian coast. Set your bags down and make yourself at home in the open-plan living area, which includes a fully-equipped kitchen where the chosen chef can rustle up tasty, home-cooked meals for the whole group to be enjoyed at the dining table or on the large, corner sofa whilst you enjoy a film on the TV. As day rolls into night, indulge yourself in a long, rejuvenating shower before retiring to one of two, plush bedrooms, each serving as a tranquil sanctuary that awaits to transport you to a night of restorative slumber. After you’ve finished your morning coffee in the rear garden, take time to explore your local surroundings by taking a walk into Mundesley, where you can find a range of walking and cycling routes along with bird and seal watching hotspots, spend time brushing up on local history at the Mundesley Maritime Museum, take a relaxing stroll along the soft sands of Trimingham Beach, or practice your golf swing at the Royal Cromer Golf Club. If you want to take a break from cooking one evening, grab some fish and chips from the Village Chippy to enjoy back at the chalet, or book a table to savour some traditional pub fare at The Ship Inn. Stop by the nature reserve of Pigneys Wood on your way into nearby North Walsham, which is home to the scenic landscape of Purdy's Marsh. Slightly further afield you can find the town of Sheringham, where the Sheringham Steam Train attraction and the historic North Norfolk Railway are all worth a visit. You’ll find a plethora of gorgeous beaches along the Norfolk coastline, including some in Sidestrand and Cromer, the latter famed for its crab and seafood. A number of historic Georgian and Victorian market towns are also reachable by car, including Burnham Market, Fakenham, Holt, Aylsham, and North Walsham, as well as the cathedral city of Norwich. With close proximity also to The Broads National Park, with stunning towns such as Wroxham and Potter Heigham, you'll never be short of things to see or do. Whatever you choose to do, make 1 The Dell your next choice for a family escape to Norfolk.
The charming village of Mundesley, located on the coast of Norfolk, has pubs, convenience stores, and The Porthole, a great café and bar that serves a variety of cocktails on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Other attractions include a well-liked golf course, a sizable park with playgrounds, a lovely sandy beach with colourful beach huts, and charming cottages, many of which are constructed from local flint stone. Both the well-known beach communities of Cromer and Sheringham, which is well-known for being a steam train stop on the Poppy Line Historic Railway, are nearby. Other notable locations in the region include Sheringham Park, Blickling Hall, and Felbrigg Hall, which are all owned by the National Trust. For gardeners, East Ruston Gardens and Hoverton Hall are a must-see. The Norfolk Broads, where kids may have treehouse adventures at "Bewilderwood" or rent a cruiser and spend the day exploring the waterways, are also easily accessible by car. Norwich's attractions include a cathedral, a castle, museums, the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, several guided tours, top-notch dining, and good shopping. The whole of Norfolk may be explored from Mundesley.

The chalet was clean and the kitchen was well equipped - apart from the lack of any oven gloves. The tea towels supplied were very thin meaning it was impossible to get anything out of the oven without getting burnt. The fridge freezer was a good size and efficient. Nice dining table with comfy chairs. The living room was a good size but the sofa was awful. It was L shaped and although the seats were reasonably comfortable, the back was awful. It was very low, giving no support above the shoulders and the cushions were dreadful. We added pillows from the beds for extra comfort. It is also quite small - there were only 3 adults in our party and we feel if there had been four of us we would not have been able to fit on the sofa. There was another chair but this was horrible - uncomfortable and the legs were so wobbly we didn't risk sitting in it. The bathroom had a constant smell in it and the shower was awful. Absolutely no power and the shower head looked like it had never been cleaned or de-scaled. The bedrooms were very small but ok. Furniture was fine and our adult daughter was quite happy in the twin room. This may not have been the case if there were two adults in there though as it was tiny. The double bed was not great - a hard wooden frame made it uncomfortable to sit up in and the bottom of the bed has wooden ends that stick up. There is very little space to get round the bottom of the bed and we had only been in the chalet 10 minutes when my husband hit his knee on it causing bleeding and swelling - not a great start! The mattress was ok but not the best - we kept rolling into the middle. So there were negatives which would probably prevent us going there again, but it could be so nice if these were addressed. The decor of the chalet was lovely - we liked the beach theme. The location is perfect, Mundesley is a lovely village and to be so close to the beach was great. We did enjoy our holiday but the bed, shower and sofa definitely need addressing.
