The location for walking and birdwatching we liked. 10out of 10 for cleanliness and 10 out of 10 for the garden.
The Benbow's - 03/01/2020
Location is perfect. Layout and decor are excellent, providing just the right amount of space for our family and with similar decorative taste to our own. Location is brilliant because it's peaceful and further away from the main road or harbour yet within a few minutes walk of the sea. Beds are very comfortable, Property is clean and tidy. Fridge is now the right size - a larger one than used to be here. It feels like a home from home and we've stayed here 8 times in the last 5 years and will be back again. - Many thanks to Sowerbys for making the whole booking process efficient and easy, as usual and for enabling us to have yet another fantastic holiday!

10 out of 10 for cleanliness 8 out of 10 for the garden The location was excellent, near the coastal path and bus stop. Very quiet. Warm and cosy with a lovely wood burner. Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Little Tern. Sowerby's couldn't have been more helpful and friendly , it was easy to book and collect and return the key.The information about the area provided by Sowerbys was excellent and most useful to refer too. Many thanks .

Lovely comfortable bungalow in a peaceful location. Being a little older we wanted to stay somewhere which was easy for us and Little Tern fitted the bill perfectly. Enjoyed walking by the harbour and evenings in the Hero.

This is our perfect holiday property - a home from home - and we've now stayed there 7 times. We're very keen to book for next year and hope acceptance of bookings will soon be available. As usual, we felt really looked after by Sowerbys and the whole process of booking, arriving, the state of the cottage, information given etc was perfect and commendable. Many thanks!

Burnham Overy Staithe
Location
A pretty coastal village with a busy harbour which used to be predominantly a fishing village, but is now a very popular place for sailors, walkers and bird-watchers, with the area being designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. There is an excellent local gastro-pub called The Hero which re-opened after extensive refurbishment and has quickly gained a great reputation.
During the summer there is a ferry out to the nature reserve of Scolt Head Island, a bird and seal sanctuary. For the more energetic it takes about 30 minutes to walk along the coastal footpath across the marshes out to the vast expanse of sandy beach which is quite often deserted. The large black Burnham Overy windmill dominates the skyline for miles around and on the outskirts of village there is a fine collection of 18th century mill-buildings next to the river Burn.
