A fantastic cottage and location. Deceptive from the outside. Great decor and facilities. Location to beech and other locations on the north Norfolk coast.
The cottage was absolutely brilliant. We loved the open plan layout, little courtyard garden. It was really well equipped and clean. Great to have a few bits in the pantry cupboard too. Loved the quick 20min programme on the washing machine and to have a washing line. Fabulous location was key for us, and a very comfortable clean cottage with space for all. Multiple bathrooms also great.
Great house and superb location for the beautiful beach. We enjpyed the Shanti choir on Monday night at The Jolly Sailor. Great location to have as a base.
Windswept was everything we required for a family holiday - Thank you. We enjoyed the weather and comfort of cottage plus ease of getting to beautiful beach

Electric Vehicle charging
Cars may only be charged if there is an EV charging point fitted at the property.
