However the cottage itself needs a bathroom makeover and the WiFi did not work for the duration of our stay despite reporting this. The property owner didn't contact us.

A lovely new kitchen had been installed and now very well equipped. Just a couple of niggles firstly a pair of oven gloves or an oven mitt would of been useful. The guttering was blocked in the corner over the second bedroom so there is a constant loud drip when it rains ( which my daughter at night time found annoying). Lastly the bed in the main bedroom with the mattress topper is far too soft and gave no support if like me you have a back issue so I had back ache every morning - a new firmer mattress would be good with no topper needed. Overall it was a lovely little clean cottage and lovely location so close to the beach.

Our only negative is the mattress on the double bed is very uncomfortable, definitely requires a new, good quality mattress. We will, however, return to the cottage as we love Mundesley and this holiday home.
