  • "We were looking to book a short break close to the beach and local amenities where we could relax and not have to rely on the car."

    Bankside Cottage is in a great location. The property exceeded our expections having ample parking, a good sized garden which was secure for our dog, and a large conservatory. The property was spotless, well equipped and comfortable. The welcome touch from the owners was much appreciated.

  • "I loved the stay at Bankside Cottage (with my Assistance Dog) which was furnished to a very high standard and very clean."

    The decor was lovely with the bed being very comfortable and warm. Everything had been thought of with the added touch of tea, biscuits, milk and a bottle of wine. The grass area at the back was ideal for pet comfort. The local pub (The West Norfolk) was only a few minutes walk away and did excellent meals. It rated as the best holiday ever and would love to return

  • "This lovely bungalow was perfect for our needs We wanted a dog friendly detached place and we found it."

    The garden is enclosed and well lit at night and the very large conservatory is a joy to sit in especially on a sunny day. The beds are comfortable and the linen of very good quality. Lots of extra touches were left for us after a 3 hour journey and were much appreciated. The area is very friendly for dog walkers as the sea is only 8 mins walk away. Children would love this property too

  • "Place was easy to find."

    It was clean and tidy and comfortable. Nice to have milk in the fridge along with tea and coffee so you can make a drink when you get there. Nice size garden and patio to sit out in. Beach is a short walk and there was a little cafe open. Very short drive in to Hunstanton.

  • "Bungalow was very nice but there were no instructions re heating or recycling."

    A couple of nights were chilly. Also a heated towel rail in the bathroom would be good along with hooks on the back of doors.

  • "On arrival we were greeted by a complimentary bottle of wine, milk tea etc ."

    The bungalow shown signs of newness and fresh cleanliness, the furnitings were very comfy. We spent most time in the more than spacious conservatory. Outside , although obvious work in progress was a sun trap and well secure for our adventurous JRT! The town itself was very nice and not far to the seafront. The nearest pub was only a short stroll away. Bus's are plenty to head of to Hunstanton etc. Sandringham is a great visit as is Cromer , Sheringham and Wells also the lavender centre. Hunstanton has plenty for all and good quality eateries, being coeliac I find it difficult sometimes. Henrys chippy is 5 star for gf fish and chips. We met the owner who popped over to resolve a minor issue. Overall a great relaxing break (apart from the morning cockerel) near to the bungalow, and would return.
