Watch the sun both rise and set from the beach in Hunstanton when you stay at this Victorian villa in the Norfolk town. Sleeping five guests, and welcoming a canine companion, the three-bedroom retreat is within 400 metres of the beach, which is famed for its striped cliffs. Sit out in the sunshine of your private garden on fine days or light the open fire on autumn and winter evenings.

Open the front door to this handsome, castellated house to find yourselves in comfortable, inviting accommodation. Head through to the lounge to flop on the soft seating, with your holiday novel or in front of a good film on TV. Amble down to the kitchen/diner to open the doors to the garden and bring in a fresh sea breeze. Find everything you need in this well-designed space to assist you in catering for your party with the Norfolk ingredients you have bought in town or at a nearby farm shop. Gather round the table in here to dine on those occasions you choose not to book a table in one of Hunstanton’s many eateries. There is also a WC downstairs, while the family bathroom is up on the first floor, together with the bedrooms. These include two king-size rooms, one with a TV, and a single. Sit down to afternoon tea in the garden on sunny afternoons and open a chilled bottle of wine out here on balmy evenings.

Enjoy the many attractions of Hunstanton, which include a Sea Life centre, amusement parks and boat trips. Head 3 miles out of town to experience the swathes of colour and wonderful fragrance of Norfolk Lavender’s fields and plan a day trip to the Sandringham Estate, 8.5 miles away, where you can tour the royal house and wander through the parkland grounds.

Weve just returned from a lovely week in Hunstanton. We were very fortunate to have some lovely spring weather and enjoyed visits to other resorts as well as just wandering around Hunstanton. The house is lovely - much bigger inside than it looks from outside. Very light and spacious but also cozy in the evenings. The kitchen is so well equipped wiRead moreth everything you could need. Bedrooms were huge and the beds very comfortable. The location of the house is excellent - a very easy walk into the centre but also very quiet at night. Lots of choice for places to eat, lovely shops to wander round and everyone we met was very friendly. Would not hesitate to return again! Hide

The house is centrally located one street back from the sea front. There were plenty of towels, comfy bed and a very quiet street location. There are plenty of places to eat, pubs and restaurants and a nice high street to wander along.

Very comfortable, clean and spacious house. Plenty of kitchen equipment, DVDs and books. Easy walking distance to Hunstanton beach, very lively, and also to Old Hunstanton beach which is prettier, more rural and calm.

Comfortable, functional and in an excellent location for access to the beach at Old Hunstanton. Nice, contemporary decor, enclosed garden was a particular bonus as we were travelling with our dog. Comfortable beds, good bed linen. Lovely open fire. Very cosy and well equipped for a small family or couple. The bathroom is very small, so unlikelRead morey to appeal to two couples travelling together. With parking costs being what they are it is extremely useful to have quick access by foot to the beach. Nice to have a good size kitchen and also a dining room. A nice welcome pack of some cookies, apple juice and crisps. The dog was very comfortable on a nice bed and also the addition of a large throw was very thoughtful. A good value stay in an excellent location. Hide
