Lanthorn Cottage

Lovely quiet location but only about a half mile from the beach (via a footpath almost opposite).

Excellent position to drive to Sherringham, Cromer, Great Yarmouth and various other points of interest. We found it very relaxing and really could not have asked for more. Siobhan was vert friendly and super helpful. Is the cottage for sale?

We first visited here with our young children about 34 years ago.

Much updated since our last visit!. Lovely quiet place to stay and our small dog (and ourselves) really appreciated the nice large garden. A good base to explore the locality. Recommended. We will be back :)

Great cottage.

Everything we needed, in the country but only a short walk to the beach. Fantastic. The only negatives i found was that the towels are not big enough to cover your modesty. I'm a size 12, so not big and the towels would not go around me, so I would advise you take your own and to the owner, I would suggest a couple of bath sheets. Also having a spare bin liner would be good. Apart from that all was good. So yes I would recommend and we intend to book it again.

I absolutely adore Lanthorn Cottage, lovely accommodation and super secure garden for our dog.

Great location for peace and quiet, and we had everything we needed. Happisburgh is a great village and nothing is far away.

We really enjoyed our stay.

Cottage is functional, comfortable, well equipped, warm (though it was a bit chilly when we arrived it warmed up the day after), very suitable for a dog, peaceful. Handy for walks to and along the beach. Problems communicating with Sykes beforehand about taking the dog - a recurring issue unfortunately.

Lovely little cottage ,well kept and very peaceful .

Had a lovely holiday and would definitley go back again .

The cottage is lovely, clean and cosy.

Perfect spot for peace and quiet. A walk over the fields to the beach is great for some lovely fresh air. The only thing I would say on a negative point is that the lounge furniture isn’t comfortable enough for a quiet day/night in. The garden is great for sitting outside and good for the fur balls to have a run about. You can walk to places but , mainly you need your car for visiting many lovely places. Thanks for more fun memories Happisburgh.

This is a really nice cottage.

The separation of the sitting room from the kitchen dining room makes it much more comfortable. It was clean and well equipped.

The cottage was everything we wanted.

Everything we needed was there, however The kitchen chairs & the loungers would benefit from cushion pads. I would definitely choose Sykes Cottages again and will start looking soon for next year.

Whilst we liked the quirkiness of the cottage, we were disappointed with the comfort of the sitting room furniture.

No mention was made of the step down and up to access the bathroom from the main bedroom. Couldn’t use oven trays as they were rusty. Having said that the cottage was clean and tidy and the garden, summerhouse all very nice. Thank you also for the BBQ.

The outside of the property would benefit from repairing the rotting window frames and repainted doors etc.

Main bedroom could do with a new mattress and a frame that does not squeak . Otherwise all I would expect from a 3 star property. The old tourist board sign outside says it's a four star property which is rather misleading.

The property was lovely, the only things that were disappointing were that the chairs/ sofa in the lounge were uncomfortable and extra pillows are needed in the twin rooms.

Apart from that we had a great week with walks to the beach and local pub.

The cottage, upon arrival was clean, warm and cosy.

All facilities were at hand washer/dryer, dishwasher and a wood burner if you wish to use it. Mine and hubbies personal opinion, for the the kitchen chairs to have seat pads so you don’t get a numb bum

Lovely area, quiet and lots to see and do, perfect for a restful holiday.

Cottage had all we needed for an enjoyable stay, comfortable, cosy and homely.

The cottage and location were perfect had a very relaxing stay everything we needed was supplied only one big complaint was that the lounge furniture was not very comfy for cozy nights in and the second was we thought that a small essential welcome pack was general practice but not supplied.

Very nice cottage - second visit.

Good big grassy garden. Would appreciate table to go with bench- think there used to be one?? Nice little summerhouse with seat. Characterful. Nice and clean and provided with soap, loo roll, kitchen roll, etc which is very handy. Was glad to find a hairdryer as I'd forgotten mine. Unseasonably chilly week so had to use the heating a little and the heaters are a bit tricky to set ie not all responded to the instructions in the manufacturer's book...

Lovely remote cottage

We absolutely loved it at Lanthorn Cottage.

The 200 year old cottage is lovely, and the long garden was perfect for our dog to run up and down with a ball. The summer house was used by us daily, for reading a book or watching an ipad in the lovely peaceful surroundings. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the living room was cozy in the evenings. The beach was a short 10 minute walk away, through a field with a public footpath, turning left as you come out of the cottage road onto Grub Street, and then turn right off of Grub Street when you see the opening of the field. There's a clear walkway through the field, and then walk along the back of the caravan park and keep heading towards the lighthouse (zoom in on google maps or google earth, you can clearly see the footpath). There is a Tesco about 15 minutes drive away, but we've been to Eccles on Sea previously so knew our way around the area. I would always say to people who are looking to book a holiday anywhere, to do your research before finally booking. Although Sykes wont give you the full address of the cottage prior to your full payment being made, it does show you where the property is on the map and it's not that difficult to work out where the cottage is from the image shown on the website, or you can google the rough address and see whats local to the cottage, and where the beach is. I would say that we will probably be back to Lanthorn Cottage at some point, as we loved how quiet it was there, surrounded by fields and birdsong. The Housekeeper Siobhan was amazing, she gave us all the information we needed before we got there and nothing was too much trouble, not that we had any problems at all. The only reason we contacted her was to ask a couple of questions before we arrived and to thank her when we left. All in all, we would highly recommend Lanthorn Cottage.

House was really cute and location was easy.

Really big enclosed garden and private parking. Cleanliness and general maintenance let it down. Facilities were minimal - only 4 mugs, bowls, plates etc. Bath towels were tiny and wouldn’t be suitable for a lot of people. Listing stated BBQ and garden furniture but they had been removed. Netflix seemed ad hoc which may be due to WiFi. Next door neighbour was very noisy.

What a little gem, such a lovely peaceful cottage, everything was perfect.

Idled by description of property.

It states amenities are .1 of a mile to shop, pub and beach. It is actually over a mile. I am disabled and chose this property on the basis of location. Cottage is situated down a narrow country lane so I did not feel safe using my mobility scooter. Beds were very uncomfortable and I went out and purchased a 10.5 tog duvet to put on top of the mattress. I was in so much pain that we left on the Thursday. NO WELCOME PACK PROVIDED. We are trying to resolve issues with Skkes Cottages as they listed the description of the cottage. You cannot contact them by email and indeed by their portal. In the end I sent a recoded delivery letter but no reply as of yet.

A very attractive cottage with many original features.

The living space was rather smaller than anticipated. It was nicely furnished but the sitting room furniture was not very comfortable. This was the first time we have arrived at a self catering accommodation to find no welcome pack - not so much as a few teabags and a pint of milk. There were also no cleaning products in the kitchen or bathroom. The garden was lovely and our Staffie enjoyed it - the fence at the front was relatively low so possibly not secure for a larger dog. Location was beautiful- very peaceful. The village is very small with only a pub. I believe the caravan park may have a shop for provisions- otherwise it is a 10 min drive to the nearest shop. Access to the beach was an easy 15 min walk. Communication with the cottage caretaker was very good.

Disappointing no welcome pack on arrival.

We set off to walk the 0.1 mile to the shop as advertised. That was over a mile to the shop that was closed. Pub was also a mile to walk and beach even further. We are both pensioners and chose this property because of close proximity to amenities as advertised. This brakes the trade description. We would not of booked it if we had known. Grass in garden extremely long. Towels need replacing. Would not recommend to anyone.

Cottage was very clean and had a pretty garden.

Great parking but had slight difficulty finding it as SatNav directed us to opposite end of Grub Street for some reason. Cottage was well equipped and cosy with the log burner alight and we had a relaxing break. Information on Sykes stated that beach, shop and pub were 0.1 miles away when in fact this turned out to be 1 mile for all. We did the walk on a lovely day but as lanes have no pavements this would not be great at night, or if you have young children. The close proximity of shop, pub, beach etc was one of the main reasons for booking the cottage so was disappointed to find that this was not the case and suggest information on Sykes is updated. Also, do not rely on the village shop for all your needs. Stocks lots of alcohol and gifts such as tea towels and coasters but slightly (extremely!) lacking in most other basics but there are plenty of nearby places to buy supplies which are a short drive away.

Lovely cottage, only two points, two seater sofa is not very comfortable and the wind whistle through letterbox meaning you can't sit on sofa next to door.

We enjoyed our stay very much.

The dog loved the garden. We loved the log burner. Great to be able to walk to the beach and pub. If I’m being totally honest the bed was a bit small, we’re used to a king size. Just be warned, there are no cleaning products at all. I had taken my own.
