About this property
This delightful bungalow sits at the edge of the grounds of St Edmund’s Church in the centre of Hunstanton's conservation area. Situated just paces from a range of amenities and a sandy beach, with outstanding views overlooking the sea, See The Sea is a magnificent choice for up to six guests looking to escape to this coastal region of Norfolk. After a day meandering the coastline, look forward to curling up in the lounge and catching up on your favourite shows from the Smart TV, or simply gaze out the window and admire the distant sea views.

This Hunstanton cottage offers two tasteful bedrooms, including a family room with king-size bed and two singles, along with a king-size, each neatly presented with ample storage.

Less than half a mile away lies the golden sand of Hunstanton Beach, offering a combination of sand, shingle, and white striped cliffs. Take a short walk to the award-winning Esplanade Gardens which are located atop of the red and white striped cliffs of Old Hunstanton before relaxing upon the sandy trails of the beach.

Plenty of space in the bungalow. We were very impressed with the generous welcome pack especially the fruit bowl. Only thing we struggled a bit with was the lack of a full size cooker. Not used to a microwave or air fryer for cooking. Plenty of eating places within walking distance. Lovely play park near by which the grandchildren enjoyed.
