  Our dog loved staying here, having lots of new walks and things to see and sniff, and we all enjoyed visiting Cromer which is the most dog friendly town we've visited.

  The good: The location is good, 20 paces from the car to the door, quiet site with easy access to running and exploring spaces for dogs, and pleasant walks for humans too. Morrisons is only 4 minutes drive away if you avoid peak traffic in the town center. The kitchen has a range of good quality pans, trays and utensils (no tongs), microwave, oven and hob all as expected and clean. The TV has HDMI and USB inputs so you can take your own media to watch when the internet is down. The not so good: The beds sound and feel like sacks of rocks and spanners. The bedding was dirty with muddy paw prints on the sheets, greasy sweat stains on one pillow case and what I would describe as "meaty dog slobber" on another. Electricity "included" was one unit. 1kWh. 22p of power on a 7 night rental. Additional energy was 55p per unit, or £1 for 1.8kWh, via a coin fed mechanical meter. Many dead insects...on floors, walls, ceilings, pictures, tangled in the dust drifts... The internet connection is "3 mobile broadband", so speed varies from 30Mb early morning to 0.3Mb at 6pm on a Saturday. The dead animal smell when we arrived was identified as an open bag of hairy rabbit ears which was on top of the kitchen cupboards. There is a large selection of back crippling furniture in the dining room arranged to make moving around as difficult as possible. The can't be helped: The doorways are short - mind your head. Due to the nearby tall trees the building received no direct sunlight at all, so was chilly throughout our stay (mid september) even on sunny days. Tips for guests: Don't look behind the sofa. Take warm indoor clothes if it's not summer. The comfortable chairs are under the beds in the back bedroom. Morrisons sell clean bedding and blankets. You can get bags of £1 coins for the meter from the post-office inside the coop by the church. O2/GiffGaff mobile data was more reliable than 3, if you need internet for work. If you need things from Amazon, there's a pickup locker you can walk a dog to above the pier.

  “We didn&#39;t realise that 35 Siesta Mar was on a chalet park until we arrived. However the chalet park is lovely - the chalets are well spaced out with lots of grass and flowers and a small area behind the chalet with a useful washing line. Whilst we were there (July, beginning of the school holidays) the park was very peaceful and quiet and seemed to mainly appeal to older couples. The chalet is small but very well organised with everything you need. There were lots of helpful touches like little labels on the the switches to tell you what they control. There was no free cupboard to store food in the kitchen, but we moved a trolley out of one of the bedrooms for the duration of our stay and it was perfect for cereals, fruit etc. There is a Tesco Express 5 minutes walk away and a Waitrose a short drive away. The chalet is perfectly situated for a peaceful seaside holiday. There are lovely local walks both by the coast and in the countryside. You can walk to the beach in about 6 mins from the chalet if you want to go down steep steps. If you take a slightly longer walk (10-15 mins) through the village you reach the main beaches, which are beautiful and not crowded. There are some stones but large areas of soft sand too. There is a lovely fish and chip shop in the village that even offers gluten free and is to be highly recommended. There are also lots of places to visit nearby too. We booked this in a hurry as soon as lockdown restrictions allowed and weren&#39;t really sure what to expect, but had a wonderful holiday and would definitely go back. Thank you for such a lovely, well maintained holiday home. A lot of thought and care has gone into looking after this chalet to a very high standard.<br /> ”

  “Booked very last minute, primary requirements were close to the beach and easy access shower. Chalet is on a site which is excellently maintained, chalet itself was well maintained, clean and provided everything needed (including windbreak for the beach, umbrella for sitting in the sun) Dark skies at night (just what I love) and incredibly quiet - slept through the night, I didn&#39;t even hear the torrential rain on the Thursday night. There are no services on site, but the site is a 10 minute walk to the village centre, where there is a butcher, baker and grocers, pharmacy and other local services. There is a Tesco Express one minute walk away, next to the petrol station. Although the beach is 700 m walk away, to reach the beach you need to negotiate the steep stairs down the side of the cliff. I would recommend walking the 10 minutes into the village centre for easier access, however it&#39;s worth the climb down and you can walk along the beach towards the village centre and come back that way. I also walked towards Trimmingham, and went on the beach there. There didn&#39;t seem to be too much in the way of evening dining, during the day, plenty of choise for fish n chips, etc otherwise a couple of hotels really was all I could find - but I didn&#39;t look that hard. We drank at The Star Inn one early evening, but didn&#39;t eat there. We did have one takeaway, I would recommend the New Sage chinese takeaway. For walking, the lanes were fairly quiet, and the pavements around the village well maintained. There were plenty of short cuts, if you want to explore the village.<br /> Overall, a thoroughly relaxing stay and the weather was wonderful”

  “The second time we have stayed here and will do so again in the future, have recommended, also to other, friends, family and work colleagues alike. The new outside bench is very welcomed and makes for a comfortable sit in the evening sun. Enjoyed the new TV set also, welcomed, as we watched the footy on this a couple of occasions. The accommodation is very comfortable, the one thing we noticed this time above the last was, the need for a pathway from carpark to front door. on our first visit it had crossed our minds but on this occasion, due to the weather on a couple of days, experiencing showers and heavy rain one night, we missed not having a paved pathway as the grounds lawns appeared to have been mowed, one afternoon, as the grass was wet it did make entering the property difficult without some grass trail, we cleared the bulk but was unable to clear all, unfortunately, we were unable to clear this all again on the day we departed. due to the moistness we worried rubbing this would cause staining to the carpet. Overall this is a very very comfortable property and whilst Mundesley is a little quieter than other towns near by, it still has the best beach. In answer to the next question, YES, MOST DEFINITELY. ”
