As a couple, we have visited North Norfolk many times over the years; however, this was our first trip with our daughter and her family (hubby plus 2 grandchildren, ages 4 and 10 months) and we were anxious they would love it as much as we do. We needn't have worried. From the moment we arrived at 4 Harbour View we knew we were in for a great stay.
The house itself was easy to locate (thanks to good directions from Norfolk Hideaways and a bit of Google maps research) and despite arriving in the dark, the house was warm and inviting. We quickly settled in with our eldest grandson leading the way to look around. What we found was all very well equipped, clean and certainly large enough for the 6 of us. As per my request, the travelcot for the baby had been put up in the larger front bedroom, making bedtime so much easier for my daughter. The open fire in the lounge was an instant hit with everyone especially as enough fuel had been left for our first night's fire, thankyou!
Daylight enabled us to see just what a fabulous location we were in. Being birdwatchers, we appreciated the easy access to the coastal path and the marshes although we also made use of the velux window in the attic bedroom when it was a bit too cold outside! The cottage's central location on the north coast made it ideal for exploring the local area, with Snettisham just 30 minutes to the west and Cromer and hour to the west.
The comments books were read and much appreciated; the only comment we made was regarding the oven - which was similar to one my daughter had so getting it to work wasn't an issue. However, perhaps the inclusion of the manual may help those visitors who may be unfamiliar with its operations? (The oven will not operate unless the clock has been set and that wasn't made clear in the otherwise comprehensive household instruction folder).
Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Harbour View and I would gladly book it again and recommend it to friends.
many thanks to the owners and Norfolk Hideaways
