Kittiwake Cottage in Hunstanton is praised for its excellent location and spaciousness, particularly suitable for families and guests with pets. The property's well-equipped kitchen and the provision of fans during hot weather are appreciated. However, there are recurring concerns about cleanliness, maintenance, and the comfort of furniture and beds.
Several reviews mention issues with cleanliness, including dirty kitchen appliances, mould in bathrooms, and dusty rooms. The need for a deep clean and better upkeep is highlighted.
The property's location is highly commended, with guests appreciating its proximity to the seafront, town centre, and local amenities, making it an ideal spot for holidaymakers.
Guests find the beds and sofas to be uncomfortable and in need of replacement. However, the spaciousness of the property and the presence of an enclosed garden add to the comfort for families and pet owners.
The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, but there are several reports of faulty appliances, insufficient seating for the maximum number of guests, and a lack of basic supplies. Maintenance issues like leaky showers and a need for updates are noted.
While some guests mention little extras that made their stay pleasant, there is no consistent mention of gifts or special touches that would warrant a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

The cottage was well equipped- however the downside we all found the beds to be uncomfortable & very creaky perhaps in need of new mattresses. We did need to contact the owner regarding parking but he responed to this & it was quickly sorted out. Would recommend this property.
