Guests say
Starboard offers a well-equipped and spacious cottage experience just moments from a sandy beach, making it ideal for dog owners and families alike. Guests praise the modern bathrooms and kitchen, comfortable beds, and peaceful location with easy access to local amenities and coastal attractions. While the property is generally clean and welcoming, some guests noted areas needing redecoration and occasional maintenance issues. The garden and outside space could benefit from some attention. Overall, Starboard provides a relaxing and enjoyable base for exploring the Norfolk coast.
Most guests found the property clean, especially the bathrooms and kitchen, but several mentioned issues such as dusty skirting boards, cobwebs, and stained sofas. Cleanliness is generally good but could be improved with more attention to detail.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, peaceful setting, and convenience for exploring the Norfolk coast. Local shops and restaurants are nearby, though one review noted outdated information about a local pub.
Guests appreciated the comfortable beds, quality linen, and spacious layout. However, some found the sofas uncomfortable or stained, and there were occasional issues with noise from neighbours and accessibility for those with mobility needs.
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, and offers useful features like a dog-proof garden and large conservatory. Some guests noted maintenance issues, such as a smelly bathroom, awkward kitchen layout, and garden furniture concerns.
There is no mention of welcome gifts or special touches, and one guest noted the absence of a welcome pack. Thoughtfulness could be improved with small gestures, though these are not guaranteed.

We have just spent two weeks at starboard in Barton, the apartment was perfectly placed for the beach, the apartment was mainly very clean but I do object to stained and elderly uncomfortable sofas. They really do need replacing not nice sitting on somebody else’s stain. No welcome pack, which I thought was a bit mean. The details on the apartment say it is 600 yards to the pub that pub actually closed in 2018 so eight years ago, that really does need updating as that was a big disappointment to us as we like to be able to walk to a pub the next pub was in the next village.

Could have been better. Great location and quite roomy, with a huge conservatory. Beds were comfortable. But the TV was awful, we struggled to get normal channels and it was very high on the wall, which we found irritating. Sofas not very comfortable and too big for the room, my husband struggled to get round with his walking frame. There is a large hearth to get round as well, and I would worry about a small child falling and hurting themselves on it. First part of garden is gravel and my dog didn't like walking on it to reach the grassy bit. Great that dogs are allowed, of course, and that was essential for us. Shower in the en suite was almost unusable, either very hot or very cold. Not enough plug sockets or lamps. The kitchen was a mix of good and not so good. On the whole quite well equipped, but it's not well laid out, and we searched for ages to find the cutlery! It's in a drawer within another drawer under the oven, for anyone else who wants to know! We had to buy washing up liquid, and extra bin bags and a few other things. Huge windows and no net curtains and the blinds weren't great. We probably won't go back. Overall it was OK but not amazing.
