We had a lovely time at Greyseals. The house is in a great location close to the beach, local pub and Norfolk coastal path. We appreciated how clean it was, the beds were comfy and the kitchen was very well equipped. The garden was also spacious and fully enclosed - great for our dog. We highly recommend Greyseals if you are holidaying in Brancaster.

The house is well appointed and clean, and the decor is calming and cosy. We used the boardwalks to walk to the very pretty Brancaster Beach, and also walked to the Jolly Sailors for dinner. The neighbourhood is pretty and quiet. We appreciated how responsive the host was.
