An excellent location, just as you leave Yarmouth but within a few minutes walk to the town centre. Spacious and comfortable and with lovely views, over the sea to the front and over the water meadows from the patio area at the back. Plenty of parking, too. We liked it so much that we returned this year, and we never normally go back to the same place!

It was clean comfortable and light with a great outlook onto country at the rear and the sea from the front bedroom. It is well equipped and close to Yarmouth.
