We have just come back from a lovely week at Shrimp Cottage. The owners were friendly and welcoming - there was a short power cut one evening and they came to check on us which was thoughtful - but otherwise they left us to it which we appreciated. Although the cottage is in their grounds, it's still quite private. It is small but was the perfect size for us as a family of three, and had pretty much everything we needed. Do be aware of the driveway though - it's very narrow! We managed to navigate it carefully in our Kia Sportage, but only just! Otherwise the location is great, only a few minutes walk to a sand and shingle beach, which was never really busy even though it was half term and the weather was absolutely glorious. We loved it here and would recommend for a quiet break away from the hustle and bustle.

A picturesque cottage tucked away in a peaceful but central location. Richard and Penny the owners were very friendly but did not intrude on our holiday.The cottage was beautifully decorated, very clean, had every facility we could wish for and the beds were very comfy.An information booklet was provided with plentiful details of local places to eat and visit. We would recommend Africa Live, Henstead Arts and Crafts centre, the fish restaurant two minutes up the road.We would love to visit again.
