  The Barn is spacious and beautiful, and very private with a walled garden and a field at the back.

  . The furniture and fittings are comfortable and luxurious and there is everything you could possibly need, including games, books and two TV's that have everything on them you could want. Wifi is very good and there are boosters upstairs, so no areas with bad signal. The kitchen is exceptionally well kitted out with crockery and pans and a selection of knives that actually cut ( a rarity in our experience). The garden is beautifully laid out. The French windows in the sitting room lead out onto a large terrace with a big table and chairs, behind which is a huge lawn for running around and playing football etc. on. There is also an adjoined paved area outside the dining area, which houses a barbecue. We were there in October, but would have spent our evenings outside if we had been there in summer. Bedrooms are all really luxurious and comfy, with John Lewis bedclothes and feather duvets and pillows. The swimming pool belongs to a neighbour, so there is a fee and a booking system. Just round the corner from the Barn, it has two well equipped changing rooms and we used it every day and loved it. We were fortunate to get really great weather so we went to Horsey Gap, a 15 minute drive away, and marveled at the numbers of seals swimming really close to shore and the size of the bull seals . They come onto the beach from November to breed and are hanging about in October in huge numbers. I think this was the highlight of my trip, and I highly recommend going there if you are at all interested in nature. Our second seaside trip was to Sea Palling, a couple of miles up the coast from Horsey. There are a few shops and cafes and it is slightly commercial. Here the water is calm and it's perfect for children to play. There is sand and gravel and miles of beach. And then there was the coming back to the comfort of the Barn. Caroline is a really helpful and responsive host. She arranged for feather-free bedding for one of our party with allergies, and she also organised for a high chair and a travel cot for the baby. She responded to all messages immediately and left a bottle of wine, milk and some delicious Norfolk cookies to welcome us. We loved our few days and would recommend the Barn for families or groups of friends.

  “We didn&#39;t realise that 35 Siesta Mar was on a chalet park until we arrived. However the chalet park is lovely - the chalets are well spaced out with lots of grass and flowers and a small area behind the chalet with a useful washing line. Whilst we were there (July, beginning of the school holidays) the park was very peaceful and quiet and seemed to mainly appeal to older couples. The chalet is small but very well organised with everything you need. There were lots of helpful touches like little labels on the the switches to tell you what they control. There was no free cupboard to store food in the kitchen, but we moved a trolley out of one of the bedrooms for the duration of our stay and it was perfect for cereals, fruit etc. There is a Tesco Express 5 minutes walk away and a Waitrose a short drive away. The chalet is perfectly situated for a peaceful seaside holiday. There are lovely local walks both by the coast and in the countryside. You can walk to the beach in about 6 mins from the chalet if you want to go down steep steps. If you take a slightly longer walk (10-15 mins) through the village you reach the main beaches, which are beautiful and not crowded. There are some stones but large areas of soft sand too. There is a lovely fish and chip shop in the village that even offers gluten free and is to be highly recommended. There are also lots of places to visit nearby too. We booked this in a hurry as soon as lockdown restrictions allowed and weren&#39;t really sure what to expect, but had a wonderful holiday and would definitely go back. Thank you for such a lovely, well maintained holiday home. A lot of thought and care has gone into looking after this chalet to a very high standard.<br /> ”

  “Booked very last minute, primary requirements were close to the beach and easy access shower. Chalet is on a site which is excellently maintained, chalet itself was well maintained, clean and provided everything needed (including windbreak for the beach, umbrella for sitting in the sun) Dark skies at night (just what I love) and incredibly quiet - slept through the night, I didn&#39;t even hear the torrential rain on the Thursday night. There are no services on site, but the site is a 10 minute walk to the village centre, where there is a butcher, baker and grocers, pharmacy and other local services. There is a Tesco Express one minute walk away, next to the petrol station. Although the beach is 700 m walk away, to reach the beach you need to negotiate the steep stairs down the side of the cliff. I would recommend walking the 10 minutes into the village centre for easier access, however it&#39;s worth the climb down and you can walk along the beach towards the village centre and come back that way. I also walked towards Trimmingham, and went on the beach there. There didn&#39;t seem to be too much in the way of evening dining, during the day, plenty of choise for fish n chips, etc otherwise a couple of hotels really was all I could find - but I didn&#39;t look that hard. We drank at The Star Inn one early evening, but didn&#39;t eat there. We did have one takeaway, I would recommend the New Sage chinese takeaway. For walking, the lanes were fairly quiet, and the pavements around the village well maintained. There were plenty of short cuts, if you want to explore the village.<br /> Overall, a thoroughly relaxing stay and the weather was wonderful”

  “The second time we have stayed here and will do so again in the future, have recommended, also to other, friends, family and work colleagues alike. The new outside bench is very welcomed and makes for a comfortable sit in the evening sun. Enjoyed the new TV set also, welcomed, as we watched the footy on this a couple of occasions. The accommodation is very comfortable, the one thing we noticed this time above the last was, the need for a pathway from carpark to front door. on our first visit it had crossed our minds but on this occasion, due to the weather on a couple of days, experiencing showers and heavy rain one night, we missed not having a paved pathway as the grounds lawns appeared to have been mowed, one afternoon, as the grass was wet it did make entering the property difficult without some grass trail, we cleared the bulk but was unable to clear all, unfortunately, we were unable to clear this all again on the day we departed. due to the moistness we worried rubbing this would cause staining to the carpet. Overall this is a very very comfortable property and whilst Mundesley is a little quieter than other towns near by, it still has the best beach. In answer to the next question, YES, MOST DEFINITELY. ”
