    Lovely property quite and relaxing, was lacking a few utensils, was not as clean as expect with a pile of rubbish push under the bed, toilet not cleaned properly with poop on the lid so had to do some cleaning before our holiday started, over all nice place

    It is spotlessly clean and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. It has a large garden area which is secure the grandchildren found it a great to play area. There is a seating area at top of the sand dunes which overlooks the sea where we were able to watch a number of seals playing during our stay. we all had a great stay and hope to return in the future.

  • "Windyridge is a lovely property and the bench overlooking the sea makes the holiday really special."

    The house is well equipped and comfortable with lots of space. The standard of cleaning could have been better, there were cobwebs and dust on the floor and the plastic tablecloth had sticky mug rings etc from the previous occupier. As there are no blinds on the large windows and the toilet opens directly into the living room, it was a bit alarming to find 2 window cleaners staring at me coming back from the shower on Saturday morning, followed by someone mowing the lawn later in the day. It left us feeling a bit vulnerable not knowing who was going to be outside the window next. The windows give a lovely view but it feels very exposed especially at night. All in all though the holiday was lovely, we saw 3 deer and a kestrel playing in the garden and sitting on the bench we saw several seals playing in the waves. The beach is easy to access right next to the property and there are nice shops in Stalham about 15 mins drive away.

  • "From the moment we seen Windy Ridge we fell in love with this property."

    The house is cosy, modern and full with anything that you can think of for a great stay, fast Wi-Fi, magazines, books, games and a well stocked kitchen with any utensil you may require for your stay. The master bedroom is huge with an Emma mattress and good quality bed sheets, if you listen carefully you can hear the sea from this room. All other rooms were comfortable and had their own TV. The garden is huge and has a shed with some outdoor games inside and storage for body boards, bikes and sandy shoes. We spotted a family of hares, various birds and a deer during our stay all from the comfort of the sofa that looks out to the garden. The garden also has a bench looking out to the sea where we spotted some seals swimming. We spent most mornings and evenings on the bench watching the sun rise and set. If you are looking for a tranquil space to stay, with good walks and that is in a good position to visit coastal villages this is it!

  • "Lovely comfortable beds & furniture plenty of utensils, heating hit and miss."

    We saw seals for seating in sand dunes and loved the roar of the waves. I agree the master room needs an ensuite even if only a toilet. Another easy thing to change no plugs are close enough to a mirror for drying hair we needed to buy a 3 metre extension lead, either buy a couple or move mirrors FINALLY need clarification as you when at first building on left DON'T TURN INTO BEACH ROAD. It's a slight turn to left then right still on church lane and you can see a big metal gate, head for this straight go passed the metal sign the road stops at the gate the cottage is on the right side of this road. Would we stay again absolutely pity weather wasn't good so will be back in warmer weather. Ps the extraction fan outlet needs securing somehow as constantly banging

    Lovely walks beside the sea. The property is done to a very high standard and well equipped for all your needs. Although for us it was perfect an extra toilet could be added if there are 6 people staying there. Loved loved loved the bench seat looking out to sea from the garden.

  • "We were really happy with our stay at this property."

    With the help of the aerial map provided by the owner it was not too difficult to find. The property was spotlessly clean, comfortably furnished and very well equipped with good bedding and nice towels. Maybe, if there are several people sharing the property, the only one bathroom could be a drawback but this did not affect us. We do hope to visit again in the future. It is situated very close to the beach which provided fantastic walks.

    The property is in it’s own grounds of one acre, is quiet and very close to the beach.

  • "Brilliant property in a fantastic location right near the sea."

    Not much to do in the immediate area except relax and walk the beach - perfect for what we wanted. Lots to do, however, within a few miles drive. The owner provided some good local guidance. We found mobile phone reception in the property was very poor, but you only had to walk a few yards up the road to get a decent signal. One very pleasant surprise was the excellent internet connection and very good Smart TVs in the lounge and each bedroom. As the weather was varied during our stay in the last week of October, the entertainment was very welcome. We slept in the king bedroom and it was very comfortable with an Emma mattress.

  • "We had an excellent stay at Windyridge."

    There were a few teething problems but that’s to be expected from a newly refurbished property. Location is great - you can fall asleep listening to the sounds of the waves crashing just on the other side of the dunes. We even saw seals in the sea and on the beach. So easy to get to the front and walk in either direction. We walked to Happisburgh and back one day and it’s very easy. The house itself is really comfortable and very well equipped. Literally the only suggestion we would have is that it would be useful to add some hooks to the backs of bedroom and bathroom doors for towels, etc.
