We have just left the property after a lovely week, please pass our thanks on to the owners of Homestead. It was a well-equipped house for a 3-generation group, plenty of kitchen equipment and a really nice garden space.

Our second visit to Homestead and Black Cat Barn. We had a fabulous week. The accommodation is perfect for our needs and the garden is such a great space to relax, socialise and play games. Giant jenga is always a hit! The location is perfect for the beach, countryside and walks. We did the Southrepps circular a couple of times and it really is a beautiful walk. Our dog Finn especially enjoyed it! Also recommend Sheringham Park which was beautiful for a change from the beach. The Vernon Arms as always is a welcome stroll a stones throw from the house and we have always felt very welcome there.

We had such a lovely and unexpected stay but it was just what me and my little boy needed. Very clean and well kept and close to everything we are used to. Appreciated all the little touches made for our arrival. Hopefully we can come back one day.
