It’s a Beautiful place we had a lovely stay , marvellous views and so handy for the beach for our dogs , great beach not too much sand so dogs didn’t come back too sandy but the hot and cold tap outside the utility room was brilliant, just hosed them down at a nice warm temperature and dried them in the utility room , want one of those at my home. I loved the layout of the place plenty of privacy for 6 of us and very comfortable property with everything you would need like in your own home, very safe for dogs in the back garden and gates closed when home just incase they run outside . The Anchorage was so handy for everywhere , we went to Burnham Market , Wells next the Sea , Holkham and of course Holt which has great shopping and The Wiveton Bell was wonderful , all Restaurants very near . Would love to visit again. Thank you for the wonderful Hamper my Grandchildren loved most of it. Loved sitting upstairs looking out at the Beautiful View and having a lovely time with family and pets in a very unique comfortable home. Salthouse is lovely though great pub , shop and even the wildlife , Swans , ducks on the pond loved it.
Really lovely house and excellent setting. Lovely views, walks and visits to the Dun Cow.
Lovely property with views across the salt marsh. Salthouse stores have most items you need and reasonably priced. Holt, Cley and Kelling are nearby and worth exploring. Cley marshes visitor centre is a must; the cafe has good food and the reserve caters for nature lovers. The Coast hopper bus runs past Anchorage and is worth using for car free travel; very good value and frequent. Lovely, spacious property with views over the salt marshes…as avid birdwatchers, this was a complete bonus! Spotted Curlew on the marshes whilst drinking tea and eating cake in the living room! Perfect!! The doggy shower was fabulous and such a joy for the dogs to have warm showers after being on the beach…we loved it so much, we are now having one put in at home!
Lovely big cottage with amazing wrap around garden - plenty of space for dogs.
Great views in a lovely village with good local pub
Fantastic stay! Lovely house and great location.
We love it. Ideally positioned for access to towns, villages, the sea and the local shop with EPIC coffee and lovely service. The proximity of the property to the sea, the great views, ability to have the dog with us. We love the way the property is appointed, everything is easy and thought through. The larger number of rooms suits us as we have a larger family.
The accommodation was more spacious than expected and finished/ fitted out to an extremely high standard. Everything was spotless and the bathrooms especially. We like the views, proximity to the beach, the light, high standard of finish & furnishing. V comfy beds! We loved all of it! We had a wonderful relaxing week, we loved exploring North Norfolk and we definitely intend to come back very soon. Thanks to all of your team for a lovely holiday.
Great convenient location with lovely local shop, crab house, cafe and pub within 10 mins walk from the house. High spec
What a wonderful home. We all enjoyed our stay and hope to return again!
