HOT tub was a bonus. Our only issue was with parking as we had 3 cars 2 parked round the back but on arrival their was a large van parked out side the house on the Friday afternoon so made unloading our cars very difficult tge van didn't move till Monday and was then replaced by another van. Also road works which made parking for our 3rd car a problem. But this issue is nothing to do with the house or Helen. We all enjoyed our stay including the dogs.

The location of the house is just perfect, few minutes walk to the beach front and the shops there. Thereâs a shop thatâs open til late just round the corner for anything that you may have forgotten. The outdoor seating under cover was great, which meant we could still barbecue and eat outdoors regardless of the weather. We used the hot tub most nights it was such a lovely add on. The kitchen has everything you could need, the freezer space is limited but we made do. The bedrooms on the front of the house could do with black out curtains as the sun would come shining through first thing. There was 10 of us all together and never felt cramped at any point during the week, plenty of bathrooms for all of us. The bedroom and bathroom doors have frosted glass panels in so could see through. The bathroom door especially could do with the glass being covered up. Great Yarmouth is a ten minute drive away. We went to see the seals at Horsey beach which is a 25 minute drive away. We hired a boat for the day on broads again which is 25 minute drive away. The kids room with all the books and toys was a great touch, we didnât need to bring all the toys to keep the kids entertained. Would highly recommend this house.

! We thoroughly enjoyed out stay :) Throughout our stay we made use of the garden and got tub daily which was lovely and a great addition to the holiday. The house itself was well presented and clean, comfortable beds that none of us wanted to get out of, ideal location and had everything you could need during your stay! Helen the owner was lovely and checked in with us via email through our stay, and ensured that everything was OK for us! Location was ideal and the views from the bedrooms was lovely! It was lovely to also see the boats coming in and out of the harbour! I would definitely recommend staying here & we are already looking at booking again! 5* all throughout! Can't wait for our next stay â¡
