Set on a quiet, unmade road in the seaside hamlet of North Gap, this light and airy bungalow makes a wonderful coastal bolthole for up to six guests and two dogs. Located between the resorts of Happisburgh and Sea Palling, and just 0.5 miles from Eccles-on-Sea, it’s perfect for a tranquil getaway or a family-friendly break. With a long, sandy beach just over the dunes and the coastal path stretching out in either direction, it’s a great choice for walkers and dog owners.

Attractive and welcoming with large picture windows to make the most of the views, this stylish bungalow is bright and spacious throughout. With windows on three sides, the highlight of this charming abode is the lounge/kitchen/dining room, which boasts uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside. The kitchen is a pleasure to cook in, well equipped and perfectly arranged so you can keep an eye on the kids and dogs while cooking. Gather at the family dining table to eat, or dine alfresco in warm weather on the outside decking. Then put your feet up in the cosy lounge to chat about your day or watch a film on TV. Guests have the choice of a double bedroom, a twin room, or a room with bunk beds for two, ensuring a restful night’s sleep for all. A family bathroom completes the accommodation, while outside there’s an enclosed garden along with a shed for bike storage.

We had a lovely stay at Happidays. We had everything we needed for a relaxing, cosy seaside break. The owners couldn't have been more helpful and friendly and went out their way to ensure we had everything we needed. The cottage was beautifully presented and we would definitely love to return again! Many thanks for a wonderful stay.

My sister snd I have enjoyed a summer holiday at Happidays for a number of years now. We love the location, because you look out onto beautiful countryside and it's only a minute or so to walk down to the beach. The Happidays cottage is well equipped with everything you would want. It's always cosy, clean, and is very well cared for overall. There Read moreare plenty of interesting and fun places to visit nearby. The owner leaves a lot of tourist info to inspire you, so you can make it the holiday you want, feet up, and relaxing, or out and about somewhere different every day. Cant wait to go back! Hide

Great property in a great location and ideal for a relaxing time by the sea. Have marked down the equipment as the kitchen tap was not working properly and the hot water only trickled out and also the lever on the tap was broken. Have marked down the website description and the equipment as there is no internet or Wi-Fi at the property but it didRead more say the mobile phone signal is not great which helps but without Wi-Fi its a bit of a nuisance. Overall a great place to stay with plenty of secure space outside for the granddaughter to play and for the dog to run round. Hide

Go there and you'll know why. Nobody on the beach, no noise day or night and most importantly no seagulls.
