  • "We (2 adults , 1 dog ) had a lovely stay at the Sea Urchin."

    Robert was the perfect host from the start, went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. Nicely decorated throughout to a high standard. Everything you would need was there. A cosy homely feel to the place. Decent size front garden. Very quiet location, locals very friendly. Beach 2 minutes walk from property. Due to high tides we used another local beach in Sea Palling. Highly recommend staying here. We didn't want to leave. Thank you Robert for such a lovely stay. Looking forward to visiting again.

    I’d like to say a massive Thank you Jean for your very, very kind feed back about myself and Sea Urchin . I’m sorry the sea tides didn’t cooperate during your stay to reveal the wide Sandy beach . We’re very pleased you both ( and your furry friend) enjoyed your stay and found it a nice place to stay. We do the best we can to make it a home from home with enough equipment and hopefully provide ample comfort for all who stay. No one who comes to stay with us is a number. To us everyone’s stay is personal and important to us too. We are immeasurably grateful to everyone who books to come and stay at Sea Urchin. We would welcome you all back with open arms ! You left Sea Urchin so clean and tidy it was hard to notice you’d even been there or had otherwise spent your entire holiday cleaning ! Which I hope you didn’t. We hope to see you all again in the future. Thank you so much once again, Robert. Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage - everything you need for a break by the sea and the beds were so comfy (we've stayed in lots of lovely places that had not invested in good mattresses and quality bedding so I was so pleased how nice Sea Urchin's beds were!"

    ) The hosts were friendly, attentive and helpful and there were lots of thoughtful touches around the cottage. Lots of modern features that made the holiday even better for us - air fryer, good WiFi, TVs in every room, Hive heating etc. There isn't much nearby but supermarkets will deliver groceries and we loved the peace and quiet - despite being the school holidays we had the beach to ourselves almost every day! The proximity to such a beautiful sandy beach is astounding.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’m so grateful and glad to read your amazing and detailed feedback on your stay at Sea Urchin. Your kind words really touched my heart . We’re so pleased you all had an amazing time. We put a lot of consideration and time into trying to make Sea Urchin a home from home for those who come to stay. I’m sorry you had to cut your holiday short due to a family emergency. We hope you’ll all consider coming and staying again. We’d love to have you all back. Thank you also for leaving a review of your holiday in our guest book. Thanks again, Robert. Property Owner

  • "Superbly renovated and beautifully decorated holiday accommodation."

    Lots of little thoughtful touches throughout. Comfortable beds and seating, including a sunny positioned outdoor table, and a lovely shower. Brilliantly located: 3 minutes walk from the beach and from there a short walk to a fabulous little cafe. The owner Robert was so very considerate of our arrival and departure time. We look forward to a return soon. Thank you from the Allens :)

    Thank you so much for you very kind and thoughtful feedback. We are so glad that you all had such a wonderful stay at Sea Urchin. We’re pleased you found the outside table is in a sunny spot. It’s a glorious place to sit when the sun comes out. We would love to welcome you all back again. Thank you also for filling in the guest book. It’s always nice to read how much fun people have exploring the area. Many thanks Robert Property Owner
