Guests say
Guests appreciate the cottage's excellent seaside location and the quiet, relaxing setting it offers. The property is well-equipped and comfortable, with personal touches that enhance the stay. While some guests mention issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the overall experience is positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Some guests reported cleanliness issues such as a greasy cooker top and cobwebs, suggesting room for improvement. However, these instances seem isolated rather than indicative of a consistent problem.
The location is highly praised for its sea views and proximity to both Suffolk and Norfolk attractions. The peacefulness and accessibility to local amenities contribute to its high rating.
Comfort levels are generally good, with a well-stocked property and thoughtful touches. Some guests noted issues with beds and seating, and the presence of heavy quilts, which suggests that while comfort is adequate, there is scope for improvement.
Facilities like the heated swimming pool, bar, and restaurant are appreciated, but some guests encountered maintenance issues such as a problematic door and an outdated fridge. The hot water temperature was also a concern.
While the reviews mention personal touches and a well-thought-out property, there is no specific reference to gifts being provided. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness in terms of gifts, and the score is set to null.
About this property
Nestled in Corton, Suffolk on The Waterside Holiday Park, is this lovely two-bedroom bungalow, 121. Enjoying a superb location with on-site facilities, including an indoor heated swimming pool, children’s play area, restaurant and crazy golf, along with direct access to the beach and stunning sea views, 121 is a fantastic dwelling for couples or a family of four. Be welcomed into the light and airy open-plan living space, where you can rustle up delicious dishes ready to enjoy at the dining table for four over a bottle of wine, or alfresco out on the rear enclosed decking. After dinner, kick-back and relax on the plush sofas in the sitting room and select a much-loved film from the TV. Wash away the day with a refreshing shower after a day of adventure, before retiring to one of two well-presented bedrooms, a double and a 4’ double to catch your rest. Explore the park, where you can make a splash in the pool, pamper yourself at the beauty salon, or treat your loved ones to a tasty meal and local ales at the Coast Bar & Restaurant. If you can tear yourself away, head down to the beach where you can bathe and paddle the shores. For a fun-filled family day out, why not spend the day at the popular Pleasurewood Hills Family Theme Park? Continue onto Lowestoft, where you can delve into history at the Lowestoft Maritime Museum, visti the Lowestoft Lighthouse, catch a live performance at the Marine Theatre, or sample culinary delights at the Stanford Arms, lighthouse Diner and First & Last. For scenic hikes and walks, venture into The Broads, where you can expect some of the best sights and scenery in the area. From here you can easily access the bustling Great Yarmouth, with its vibrant sea front, National Trust Elizabethan House and The Venetian Waterways. All this and more awaits at 121.
Corton is a small fishing community on the coast halfway between the larger cities of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, and Lowestoft, Suffolk. There are many family-friendly activities and attractions in and around Corton village, making it a popular vacation spot. Great Yarmouth is a classic coastal resort with everything from a theatre on the pier to a sandy beach complete with a funfair, arcades, and a sealife centre to museums and a racetrack. Lowestoft is the most tranquil of the two towns, and it boasts a Blue Flag sandy beach and the surrounding theme parks Africa Alive and Pleasurewood Hills. Norwich, with its castle, church, museums, two modern shopping malls, and daily market, and the picturesque Norfolk Broads, where you can take a day cruiser around the river, are both within driving distance.

I found it very difficult to sleep with the winter quilt on the bed. It was impossible to use the grill without activating the smoke detector, I completely understand the need for it though. despite this we made the best of it and had an enjoyable stay.

Taking the holiday at the end of June meant that it was not crowded or noisy although there was a problem with flies. We could have done with some instructions for the electric cooker hob but managed to deduce how it operated. Excellent pub and restaurant across the road so we did not bother with the facilities of the holiday park although they looked good.
