Absolutely everything you could want it provided. ( I always take fairy lights to light up garden to see where dogs âgoâ but these werenât needed as thereâs 2 lots of outside lights )We stay in cottages a lot with our dogs & this is one of the best. The weather was wonderful too ( again we always pack for the worst weather but big coats werenât needed ) The beaches are walkable however a cut through across the road then through the cemetery leads to a decent size Tesco with friendly staff & a bus stop so you can get one to Old Hunstanton which is fab with Le Strange arms hotel / bar that do a brill 2 courses for £15 , have to sit outside with dogs is only downside but again staff were brill & made sure our plates were really hot. You can then walk through to the most stunning beach & it goes on for miles & miles. I saw a few negative comments re the grass not being cut, Iâd say , have a look in the little shed & do it if it bothers you that much, (we stay in cottages because itâs like being at home as opposed to a hotel , & things always need doing in a home ) Also we never saw any rats & our 2 dogs would have searched them out ! I wish I could post photos as we were lucky enough to see the northern lights & of course the wonderful red cliffs . A final mention to Lou who was brill, a welcome message to say it was ready early was great & she was available for any help . Literally canât wait to come to come back ( love Hunstanton if you couldnât tell ! )

Second time visiting and definitely would come again.

We were extremely happy with queen bed and kitchen fixtures, and corner settee, close to Tesco for all our needs. Only consideration is kitchen blinds are rather dirty/dusty, otherwise a totally delightful stay and would 100% recommend to anyone visiting the area.
