About this property
A beautiful, contemporary-styled cottage sitting in close reach of Norfolk's coast, Tenison House makes a delightful holiday home for families and friends seeking an escape to East Anglia. Sitting within the countryside, but within walking distance of a range of wonderful amenities, there's no better base from which to discover the many wonders of Norfolk. Enter into the open-plan living space and unwind on one of the inviting sofas before the television, where you will find a PlayStation providing hours of entertainment for the little ones whilst you enjoy quality time with a loved one sat at the stylish breakfast bar. Also in the room you can find the sleek kitchen area, housing all the essential appliances around its monochrome units, it makes a lovely spot to prepare a hearty breakfast in the mornings, to be enjoyed out on your private decking area when you're not making the most of the provided barbecue. Also on the ground floor sits the family bathroom, with both a bath and a shower over so you can choose how best to prepare for your day, while up on the first floor is a modest children's bathroom, perfect for a relaxing bath before snuggling up beneath the duvet of one of the three bright and airy bedrooms. The master bedroom is made up of a double with an en-suite shower room, while the other two bedrooms consist of a further double and a bunk room, wonderfully suited to the little ones. Resting at the centre of North Walsham, you can find a plethora of amenities at your doorstep; roam the streets of the market town to find a wide selection of eateries to choose from for a delicious lunch before exploring the Norfolk Motorcycle Museum, or gather up your own ingredients from the local shop for a family-favourite meal back home. For a day at the beach, be sure to visit Mundesley, with its golden sands being perfect for unwinding on, as well as the Victorian seaside village boasting fantastic opportunities for golfing and being on the Deep History Coast Trail, evidencing the earliest examples of humans in Britain. Cromer also makes a great day out for families, offering a traditional seaside experience with its impressive pier, walks along the Norfolk Coast Path, an art gallery, zoo and plenty of stunning scenery, it makes for an enjoyable day for all. Take a trip into The Broads to discover more than 125 miles of navigable lock-free waterways and amazing walking routes, or simply soak in the beauty of your surrounding area from your home-from-home. Tenison House is a true delight of a dwelling from which to explore Norfolk.

We had no problem finding the property, but perhaps only because we had read previous reviews that provided hints on identifying the entrance to the drive. There really should be signage at the end of the drive to the road. Despite previous comments on the cleanliness of the shower, we found overall the property was fairly clean (other than finding a crisp wrapper tucked into the settee in the lounge). However, we do have some negative comments: ⢠We only used the main bedroom, but found the bed to be very uncomfortable. The mattress was very soft and might well be in need of replacement. The bed was also much narrower than we are used to, very small for two adults. ⢠Ceiling lighting fittings in the lounge and over the breakfast bar were unreasonably low. I am tall, but not excessively so, and found myself constantly making head contact with the lounge lights. The ones over the breakfast bar were also low, but were positioned over the edge of the bar rather than over the work surface itself. As a result, I was constantly coming into contact with the lights in getting onto or off of the stools. There is no other alternative dining table. ⢠The mirrors in both of the upstairs bathrooms are exceptional low making it very difficult to use even for an average height person. ⢠Control of the heating was incomprehensible. The first evening, despite setting all the thermostats to much higher temperatures than we normally use, the lounge and bedroom were too cold for comfort. The next morning, we returned the settings to what we consider a normal level before leaving for the day. When we returned that evening these rooms were uncomfortably hot. Some instructions should be provided to allow reliable setting of all necessary thermostats. ⢠The washing machine was unintuitive to use and with no instructions provided, we eventually had to look up the model on line to decipher its usage. The tumble dryer was not working. ⢠Parking arrangements were problematical even for a single car. When parking in the designated area, it was almost impossible to turn the car around, necessitating multi-point turns terminating very close to walls. It would have been impossible to park a second car in the designated area. Our car was a Toyota Corolla station wagon, so not a huge vehicle.
