Guests say
The Shanty is a spacious, well-equipped bungalow in a peaceful location, just a short walk from a beautiful sandy beach and local amenities. Guests consistently praise its cleanliness, large secure garden, and suitability for dogs. The property offers comfortable living spaces and a well-stocked kitchen, making it ideal for families and pet owners. While some mention minor maintenance issues and nearby building works, most guests enjoyed a relaxing and enjoyable stay, with many expressing a desire to return.
The majority of reviews highlight the property as spotlessly clean, with fresh linens and towels. Only one or two reviews mention minor issues, but overall, cleanliness is a standout feature.
Guests appreciate the quiet setting and proximity to the beach, local shop, and pub. Some were surprised by the distance to the sea or nearby building works, but most found the location excellent for a coastal holiday.
The bungalow is described as very comfortable, with spacious rooms, cosy beds, and a large sofa. A few guests noted a preference for higher chairs or a larger bed, but comfort is generally rated highly.
The property is well-equipped with a good kitchen, large fridge, dishwasher, washer, and enclosed garden. Some guests noted maintenance issues with showers, the TV, and garden decking, but these did not significantly detract from their stay.
Some guests mentioned the previous provision of a welcome pack, but this is no longer offered and cannot be guaranteed. The owner is praised for good communication and arranging for bins and cleaning, but gifts or extras are not consistently referenced.

Head west to Cromer and discover the unspoilt Edwardian seafront, promenade, pier and Amazonia Zoo. Venture a little further to Blakeney and take a boat trip to see the seals (seasonal) or enjoy a spot of crabbing on the quay. Head east and you’ll discover Great Yarmouth’s Golden Mile with all the fun of the fair and just a little further is Pleasurewood Hills, Norfolk’s only theme park. Enjoy a ride on the Bure Valley Railway from Wroxham and travel through the pretty Norfolk countryside to the bustling market town of Aylsham for a spot of shopping or lunch.

A fantastic base from which to explore the local area. Being a (short) walk from the beach was amazing. The property itself was spacious and well furnished.

The Shanty is a comfortable home from home accommodation. Located in a ideal setting five minutes away from the sea and countryside. Lots of wooded parks nearby for guests who have dogs. Lovely big garden to sit in and enjoy watching the creatures of nature around you. My dog and I had a very restful stay.
