A well equipped and maintained holiday cottage set on the delightful Norfolk coast. Very comfortable, with obvious owner touches, that make the cottage home from home. Dogs very welcome too. We have had a delightful stay, weather kind and warm. Truly enjoyed seeing the sun rise over the sea each morning.

The highlight of the holiday for us was to be so close to the sea and being able to sit in the lounge with the bi-fold doors open listening to the waves crashing on the sand.Accommodation perfect for our little dog and all the pubs, cafes in the area are dog friendly. A great spot to enjoy so many wonderful beach walks as well as exploring the Norfolk Broads. We would definitely recommend ‘Ship Ahoy’ and certainly hope to return in the future.
