Guest Reviews
Greystones has a homely feel, excellent space, very comfortable beds. 10 out of 10 for cleanliness and 10 out of 10 for the garden. We would stay again!
The O'Donovans - 20/09/2019
We couldn’t rate the property highly enough. It was perfect for our large family. The owners have been so thoughtful in providing little extras. It was just like being at home! We had an amazing time.
The Redmans' - 08/06/2019
Better than Expected 10 out of 10 for cleanliness 9 out of 10 for garden We loved the location and lovely views Sowerbys agents were always very helpful.
Nutley family - 01/03/2019
Better than Expected 10 out of 10 for cleanliness and garden upkeep It simply felt like home Really liked the thoughtfulness of the owners in that just about every possible requirement had already been considered.. there were spares for everything
Jeanette Thomas - 21/12/2018
Better than Expected. 10 out of 10 for cleanliness Loved the size style and qualilty of the apartment Hot tub would have been amazing to watch wild life
Sheila richards - 02/11/2018
Better than Expected Beautiful and clean throughout 10 out of 10 for cleanliness and garden Love the proximity to coastal walks and local pub. Just like walking into our own home. After visiting Norfolk for 50 years it was a delight to have discovered a well loved family home that sleeps 10, just a pity it does not sleep 14 for next year.
Margaret Daynes - 19/10/2018
The property suits our needs. We arrive with boats & trailers & have plenty of space for cars. Loads of room in the house. This was our 6th year of staying there. We are returning again next year. Please thank Tori & her family for letting us stay there year after year. A fabulous house.
The Hardinghams - 27/07/2018
6 adults, 2 teenagers and a baby - we all had a great time here. The property is excellent and has all you could want for a good self catering holiday. We had the added bonus of wall to wall sunshine so all meals were out on the patio with the beautiful views. The bird life is impressive, we were fascinated by the owl that made regular early evening swoops across the field at the end of the garden. A delightful property in a superb location.
The Catleys - 20/07/2018
What a lovely time spent in a beautiful house. Sunset beers on the beach, skate boarding and bat and ball along with excellent company made the trip up to Norfolk a truly memorable one! Thank you for having us and looking forward to next time!
Livvy - 10/07/2018
Yet another perfect trip to Greystones. Thank you so much for having us. Harri, you are the perfect hostess with the mostest! Bring on next year.
A cracking weekend Harri! SO much fun and a belting group. Thank you for having us again, such a great house in an awesome place.
Perfect weekend getaway with incredible weather (minus the wind on the beach!), so much fun with everyone.
Unbelievably well looked after by both Nick and Harri! Great fun playing golf football and brilliant trip to the beach. Hilarious fancy dress and weather could not have been better.
A wonderful weekend with perfect weather and great friends. From cricket on the beach to the 3kg of king prawns on the bbq, it was a memorable weekend!!
All the Guests! - 02/07/2018
Fabulous weekend in this wonderful house! Sun shining all weekend! From foot golf to prancing around in silly fancy dress! Thank you again!
The Hendersons - 01/07/2018
A fantastic week in every way! The house was very comfortable and extremely well equipped. We managed to visit many interesting places in North Norfolk and the weather was the icing on the cake! Sunshine every day! We had great fun together - walking, talking, laughing and playing games. Holme Next The Sea is a delightful village... in other words we loved every minute of our stay here. Again many thanks!!
The O'Donovans - 28/06/2018

Thank you for letting us stay here again. We love it here! We would love to come back next year. The beds are REALLY comfy, and my dad loved watching the barn owl. We went ot the Holkham Fair and had loads of FUN! We went ot the beach lots and played cricket, made sandcastles and went paddling in the sea. We did some cycling and had the BEST movie night ever. This is the best holiday house we have ever had!
The Sextons and Redferns - 21/07/2017

Jones Party - 07/07/2017
It was a really good house. Thanks. Baxter aged 7.
Wow! What a wonderful way to celebrate my 70th birthday. A lovely house in an area we have been coming to for the past 15 years, surrounded by my family. Topped off by a meal out at Titchwell Manor. Thank you. Stephanie.
I loved Greystones. The beds were comfy and spacious. I love that the house is so near many places to walk; the beach, places to eat, Blickling Hall. Thank you. Poppy.
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks. Sarah, Richard, Poppy and Ella.

Absolutely loved it! Probably the most comfortable and well-equipped house we've stayed in in our 12 years of visiting North Norfolk. The walks right from the house are spectacular and sitting outside watching the sunset and barn owl with great friends is really special. Thank you.
Jane, Pete, Baxter, Nevil, Elaine, Robert, Dan, Chrissie, Harriet, Jane and Lol - 02/06/2017
