On arrival, designated parking for up to four cars makes unloading your bags a breeze. Step into your home-from-home to find a well-equipped kitchen any budding chef will be pleased to cook in, before gathering your loved ones in the dining room to feast at the ample dining table. Unwind in front of the woodburning stove in the sitting room while a film plays on the Smart TV, or perhaps enjoy some quiet reading time from the selection of books. Why not take advantage of the external games room with a game of table tennis, or make use of the picture-perfect garden with a barbecue dinner? Upstairs, find four neat bedrooms, including a super-king-size with a zip and link feature, a super-king-size, a king-size and a handy single, perfect for a child or grandparent.

Within easy reach is the lovely seaside resort of Cromer, known for its iconic pier and year-round shows. Enjoy a round of golf at Mundesley, or if the table tennis at the cottage isn’t enough, a game of tennis in North Walsham. Next stop is Happisburgh, famous for its striped lighthouse and local seal colony, where you may even catch the pups in winter! Not to forget The Broads National Park, a fascinating 125-mile network of waterways, as well as beautiful walking and cycling opportunities.

The house had everything we needed and the children loved playing in the very large garden. A trip to the Ship inn in nearby Mundesley is well worth a visit.

The place was not left as it should have been. When we arrived we noticed the following: 1. The toilet upstairs had dried on faeces in the pan. 2. The super king size bed had not been made up and this room also had no towels. We managed to find some bedding and had to make it up ourselves 3 there was a used tea bag in the sink 4 no welcome pack or milk as stated we would get on the booking info. 5 light bulbs left on top of unit. 6 the dishwasher had not been emptied before we arrived. I got in touch with Marisol Kane of lily white property management and she was very apologetic and sent someone round to clean and sort out the issues. Who then came in the next day (we think) to clean the floors. We then had a really great time in the house, using the game room, garden and house for all we needed and continued on with no complaints, until we left. My friend was staying in the single room at the end of the landing. She woke to the sound of dripping and on wondering where it was coming from discovered that rain water was leaking through the ceiling by the door and radiator, she had to get a pan to collect water but unfortunately it had dripped all over her suitcase and towels, leaving her with very little clean clothing that wasnât wet!!! On going downstairs we turned on the dining room lights , these were flickering so weâre swiftly turned off. Again I got in touch with Marisol whose response wasâoh dear, thanks for letting me know Iâll pass that on to the ownerâ no apology! I find this totally unacceptable and disappointing as she was so good at sorting us out when we arrived. I do want to add that we had a great time, and would stay again but as paying guests our expectation was that the property would have been left in the same condition as you would expect us to leave it, clean and tidy, but this was not the case, we believe as the owner it is ultimately your responsibility to adhere to a high standard. We would please welcome your comments about the feedback we have provided.
