  Our dog loved staying here, having lots of new walks and things to see and sniff, and we all enjoyed visiting Cromer which is the most dog friendly town we've visited.

  The good: The location is good, 20 paces from the car to the door, quiet site with easy access to running and exploring spaces for dogs, and pleasant walks for humans too. Morrisons is only 4 minutes drive away if you avoid peak traffic in the town center. The kitchen has a range of good quality pans, trays and utensils (no tongs), microwave, oven and hob all as expected and clean. The TV has HDMI and USB inputs so you can take your own media to watch when the internet is down. The not so good: The beds sound and feel like sacks of rocks and spanners. The bedding was dirty with muddy paw prints on the sheets, greasy sweat stains on one pillow case and what I would describe as "meaty dog slobber" on another. Electricity "included" was one unit. 1kWh. 22p of power on a 7 night rental. Additional energy was 55p per unit, or £1 for 1.8kWh, via a coin fed mechanical meter. Many dead insects...on floors, walls, ceilings, pictures, tangled in the dust drifts... The internet connection is "3 mobile broadband", so speed varies from 30Mb early morning to 0.3Mb at 6pm on a Saturday. The dead animal smell when we arrived was identified as an open bag of hairy rabbit ears which was on top of the kitchen cupboards. There is a large selection of back crippling furniture in the dining room arranged to make moving around as difficult as possible. The can't be helped: The doorways are short - mind your head. Due to the nearby tall trees the building received no direct sunlight at all, so was chilly throughout our stay (mid september) even on sunny days. Tips for guests: Don't look behind the sofa. Take warm indoor clothes if it's not summer. The comfortable chairs are under the beds in the back bedroom. Morrisons sell clean bedding and blankets. You can get bags of £1 coins for the meter from the post-office inside the coop by the church. O2/GiffGaff mobile data was more reliable than 3, if you need internet for work. If you need things from Amazon, there's a pickup locker you can walk a dog to above the pier.

  I think this might be one of the best places I've ever stayed! It is the most quirky and adorable little pod with every home comfort you could wish for. With the heating it was super cosy, not glamping at all really...and a lovely ensuite shower room, absolute luxury! The fox touches all around were perfect and it was so much fun climbing the stairs to the mezzanine to go to bed (although not for the unsteady, people with vertigo or after a few too many drinks!!!) The outside space with the fire basket, log seating and solar fairy lights was just lovely although a bit too chilly on this occasion for us to use. The location is great, ideal for exploring all of Norfolk's charms but isolated enough to properly get away from it all. We will definitely be returning!

  The lodge is in a lovely setting and the people we met were friendly and nice. The sailing club were kind and helpful. It would have been helpful on the advert to know that the access road to the lodge is in really bad repair and would not suit all vehicles- particularly low skirting. The lodge is very basic and is lacking any general comfort. Basic needs were met but it would have been more helpful to fully explain how ‘off grid’ the property is and that there is no point in bringing anything that needs power. (Unless you can charge by usb). I would only recommend this place to a friend if they wanted to get away from busy life and be completely off grid and if they didn’t mind just the basic needs being covered.

  The Coach House is a wonderful place to stay! The friendly and helpful owners, Marie and Paul, work tirelessly to maintain and improve the magnificent facilities they already have. The land and animals, pool and accomodation are all beautiful. This is a wonderful place to stay for peace and relaxation, yet easy enough to reach many 'tourist' spots! We loved taking our food scraps to Megan the pig twice a day, and enjoyed using the amazing pool area as well. The accomodation has an unusual layout but it worked perfectly well for our party of 5. The beds are extremely comfortable which makes such a difference too! We thoroughly enjoyed all the property and land had to offer. Thank you! both so much.

  My mum and I really enjoyed the stay at The Sailing Club Bungalow. It was very clean and bright. It was warm and a good base. The only thing as you’ve probably heard before is the drive to the bungalow. There are a lot of pot holes and you need to be careful. At first it seemed a mammoth task but once negotiated a couple of times it was okay as long as you drive very slowly. Also I was taken aback about the lack of electricity sockets. I’m not sure if I saw any information about this as I had bought my hair drier etc. overall a lovely relaxing stay very quiet and we managed to see the lovely sunset a couple of times despite the weather.
