We had a lovely week. The house is clean, comfortable and very well equipped, although a mirror in one of the top floor rooms would have been useful. A minor point, though. We had everything we needed and the large and secure garden meant that the dog was happy, too. It’s a short scramble over the dunes to a lovely beach which we had to ourselves most of the time. I would recommend taking a day boat out on the broads and taking a trip into Norwich or Great Yarmouth.A memorable holiday in excellent accommodation; no complaints!
