Had a lovely week with our grandchildren. Lots to do in and around Corton. We would recommend Corten Gem as was in a quiet area but very close to many amenities.

Nice quiet cul-de-sac.Needed travel cot for grand daughter which wasn't there as list stated,but the hi-chair was.Rang them & they brought over,& asked if there was anything else we needed.Nice welcome basket with wine,tea bags,coffee bags,savory biscuits,crisp's & a bootle of milk in the fridge.Not to far from lowerstoft,great yarmouth & the broads.Nice size garden which the grand daughter enjoyed running around.Sat outside watching the butterflies & the dragon flies.

A really lovely, well equipped, clean and comfortable bungalow. Super for a peaceful get away. Beach access was an issue as part of the access was closed due to subsidence, but a 5 ish minute walk will get you to the beach. Don't expect sandy beaches though, all seem quite stony. We went along to Gorleston beach as was better and the dog was allowed on there.The bungalow has all you need for your stay and is well decorated and cared for. Bedrooms are very spacious and one has French doors to the garden which was also well kept and great for the dog. Plenty of choice for seating outside.
