What our customers say about their holidays

  This wascthe first time we have stayed in the spring (previously we have had short winter breaks here). We were without our own transport this time also and so relied on the Coastal Hopper buses. Initially we thought this would be a problem but apart from their late start (first bus to Wells isn’t till 9.50 am) we found it quite manageable and convenient. The cottage itself is very well appointed although despite having stayed here several times now it still took us a while to realise that there is a secret drawer for the kitchen knives etc! There are really 3 separate sleeping quarters each with its own bathroom; the ‘garage’ annexe, the top ‘attic’ room and the first floor which is ideal for people wanting their own space/privacy. The garden is a sun-trap and lovely for breakfast but the Beth Chattoesque lawn could do with a re-spread of the wood chips as its starting to fray (or why not plant with a non-mow herb instead?). The road is incredibly quiet and the village itself peaceful. Pastries and coffee from the general store were a real breakfast treat but be prepared for a wait as the coffee maker can be a little slow and the Dun Cow although not exactly a village pub (more a restaurant) served excellent food and are very friendly. Salthouse Heath, a stone’s throw away, is wonderful for walks with purring Turtle Doves and singing Woodlarks to keep you company among the glowing gorse clumps.

  Lovely big house, lots of room, and very comfortable.

  In a brilliant location, with the beach and amenities all very close. The house is lovely and clean with decent beds and rooms. Good kitchen with most things you’d need. A set of weighing scales would have been useful as we like to cook a lot. All the showers and bathrooms were lovely and clean, a little odd that there is a toilet on it’s own on the first floor, with no sink, so you have to go to the bathroom next door to wash your hands, but it is a bit of a quirky house. It really needs the wall taking out between these 2 rooms to make one big bathroom. It was nice to have a large garden for the kids to run around, and a large outdoor patio set we could all sit around, it is a little messy in places, but I’m aware there isn’t much time between guests to do anything major. While it says there is room for 5 cars on the drive, realistically I’d say 4 is the max to allow people to get out without having to constantly swop cars around, and the entrance is only just wide enough to get normal width cars in. My car is fairly new, and while it turned out ok, I was a little concerned about getting it scratched by the bushes, they really need trimming right back, or even better the entrance widening a bit. But overall this is a lovely holiday house, and we would recommend it to any large group of family and friends, and hopefully we will return.

  We were a family of 8 adults and 5 children celebrating our daughters 40th birthday and we stayed for 3 nights at the end of January.

  The house was absolutely perfect for us, with big rooms downstairs, huge amounts of crockery, cutlery and glasses, plenty of fridge space and a big garden for football practice! We used the 2 log fires and they were an added bonus. The bedrooms and bathrooms are beautiful, with lovely white bedding and towels. Fans are there if you need them in the summer and for us the heating worked very well. There are so many things for the children : plastic plates, bowls, cups and cutlery, highchair, cot, and a selection of games. Our grandchildren loved playing hide and seek as the house is so big! It’s only 10 mins to walk to the beach, and a 2 min stroll to a great pub. Sadly the hotel across the road was closed for the winter as that’s another place to eat and drink, but we came prepared with plenty of provisions and the cooking facilities at the house are great. So all in all, we all loved our stay and would love to return in 2 years for our next daughter’s 40th celebrations!

  The Property is located in a very quiet cul-de-sac in this picturesque coastal village of Salthouse; far enough away from the coast road to be undisturbed by holiday traffic but still close enough to the small general store and pub to easily walk there. The Property is very well appointed and has bedrooms on three separate levels (including a sort of semi-annexe above the garage that has its own shower/loo but is still linked to the rest of the house) which is excellent if you have snorers within your group/or want privacy! A bottle of Wine and luxury biscuits, large bottle of milk, tea bags and coffee awaited us on arrival which were very welcome. We were lucky and had beautiful sunny weather all week in early February (perfect for our birdwatching holiday) but nights were cold. However the house was always warm and cosy so we didn't really need to use the log burning stove other than for decoration at night.

  The property was actually far better than the description and photographs showed.

  Three households stayed to celebrate my mums 70th and it was perfect. The house had everything we needed and more. Perfect location for the beach and lovely walk to Cromer along the beach. Unfortunately we booked to eat a meal at the pub just down the road The White Horse and it was awful, terrible service , terrible food and because we had complained we also had the chefs trying to intimidate us . On the complete flip side we had breakfast at the cliff top cafe down by the sea and it was absolutely gorgeous food, highly helpful staff and if you like dogs you will love this place. We was recommended by staff to visit Horsey Bay to see the seals on way home and that was a really great end to a fantastic weekend.
