Lilac Cottage is a lovely, clean, well equipped house. The welcome pack was lovely, thank you. We have recommended better directions as it is difficult to locate at first. Our main reason to visit was to access the beaches and RSPB Titchwell, which is (almost!) walking distance away.

This cosy and comfortable cottage was perfect, every we needed for a relaxing break with the coastal path, great pubs and a deli all a short stroll away. We will definitely return.

The cottage is in a great location and just a 10 minute walk to the lifeboat inn and the coastal walks. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable and we had another memorable holiday on one of our favourite locations in Norfolk
