Fantastic place to stay, well equipped with everything you would need. Lovely views a 2 minute walk to the beach. Great place to take children and dogs as the garden is perfect to play and such close proximity to the beach. Definitely would recommend a visit, we will be coming back.

Great house very close to the lovely sandy beach. We went towards the end of November so walks down the beach with the dogs was just what the doctor ordered.No pubs within walking distance but we went to the Star Inn which is literally a 5 minute drive and a lovely little pub. We also went to the Ingham Star which is more of a restaurant with fabulous food but a little pricey.We would definitely be going back.

A beautiful cottage in the middle of nowhere. Just what we wanted. A short walk over the dunes to the beach with the dog. Also a great garden for him to roam. A lovely walk into Sea Palling for a pint and fish and chips. It would be an ideal place for anyone with young children looking for a bucket and spade holiday. Cottage was well equipped and Jane the owner was very helpful.
