Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness has been a recurring concern among guests, with several mentioning the need for a deeper clean, dusty areas, and dirty kitchenware. However, some guests found the property clean and welcoming upon arrival.
The location is consistently praised for being peaceful, close to the beach, and within easy reach of local amenities, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing holiday.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the living areas cosy, especially on wet evenings. However, some guests mentioned issues with pillows and the size of the third bedroom when the fold-down bed is in use.
The property is well-furnished with good internet and kitchen appliances. Some guests noted minor issues with maintenance, such as garden lights and a back gate needing attention, and a lack of cleaning equipment.
While some guests missed personal touches like a welcome note or information pack, there is not enough information to determine if gifts are provided or not, hence the score cannot be accurately assessed.
About this property
Carothan is a homely, semi-detached bungalow located in Winterton-On-Sea, Norfolk. Sitting a stone's throw away from the beach, this three-bedroom bungalow is a great base for families, friends, and couples to explore the coast, with off-road parking, an enclosed dog-friendly garden, and ground-floor living. The living areas include a well-equipped, contemporary kitchen where you can prepare your favourite home-cooked meals, along with a living/dining room, where the electric fire will keep you warm on cooler nights, whilst relaxing in front of the TV or dining at the table for six. The bedrooms all feature minimal, clean decor, and include a king-size with TV, another double, and a snug double room with a fold down bed, all served by the family bathroom. In the morning, start your day in your private garden where you can breakfast alfresco whilst planning the day's adventures. Start by exploring Winterton-on-Sea where you can stop for food and drink at the Fishermans Return, stock up at the local convenience store, and marvel at the golden sands of Winterton Beach, a popular spot for dog walkers and seals! You'll find plenty to explore nearby with The Broads National Park within easy reach, along with the atmospheric Somerton Church Ruins, Martham Broad National Nature Reserve, and the local National Trust landmark of Horsey Windpump, close to Horsey Beach. There are a choice of family-friendly days out such as Lost World Adventure Golf, Hirsty's Family Fun Park, and Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens, home to a variety of animals. Further afield, you'll find the resort town of Great Yarmouth where Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, Britannia Pier bustling with classic entertainments, and the National Trust's Elizabethan House Museum are just some of the superb activities on offer. Book your stay at Carothan for a holiday by the sea in Norfolk.

TV and cooker. No hooks in bathroom Whilst enclosed garden at back very small for accompanying pets is difficult to walk on due to large gravel stones covering the area No line to dry towels etc Think a gate to the front important as very busy road and this is the best area for sitting
