Clean and tidy enjoyed a week with the grandchildren. Close to park and amenities.
Very comfortable house in great location. Day on Brancaster beach - what more could a 6 yr old grandson want - jumping waves/flying kite and grandpa burying his legs in the sand. A very comfortable house - great views. Loved access to park and local shop. Everything we needed for a happy week in Norfolk.
This is a lovely house. Very quiet and private and a lovely sized driveway. Great attention to detail. Not your average rental. No expense has been spared to make this house comfortable. For me it was the bed and bedding that made our stay so comfortable. Luxury bed and luxury bedding. I even took note of the labels so I could order myself some when I got home. Couldn't fault this property.
It was great to walk out to the coastal path and Brancaster beach!
