Snaptrip says

Maples cottage in Hunstanton is highly praised for its spaciousness, well-equipped kitchen, and proximity to local attractions. Guests appreciate the ample room for large groups, the games room, and the thoughtful welcome hamper. While some minor maintenance issues and comfort concerns with beds are noted, the overall experience is cherished for creating wonderful family memories.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The property is generally described as clean, with several reviews highlighting its tidiness upon arrival. However, a few guests mentioned cobwebs and dust in some areas, suggesting room for improvement.

The location is consistently lauded for its convenience, being a short walk from the beach, town, and pubs, while still maintaining a quiet atmosphere. The proximity to local attractions is a significant positive factor.

Many guests found the property comfortable, with special mentions of good sleep quality and cosy living spaces. However, there are several remarks about creaky and uncomfortable beds, which impacts the overall comfort score.

The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and games room, are appreciated, but there are recurring comments about maintenance issues such as plumbing noises, uneven floors, and some appliances needing attention.

Guests frequently express gratitude for the thoughtful touches, such as the welcome hamper and information pack. It's important to note that while these gifts are warmly received, they are a courtesy and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Situated in the award-winning seaside town of Hunstanton, near a sandy beach, is this remarkable, Victorian home, Maples. This spacious, semi-detached home retains a lot of its original features, making it a charming getaway for family and friends. Be greeted by off-road parking or leave your vehicle on the unrestricted roadside before exploring Maples marvellous interior. Stepping through the porch, open the royal navy door into the long hallway, where you can kick off your boots and hang your coats. On your left, discover the first of two sitting rooms where you can sprawl on the comfy sofas as the internet connected TV with Bluetooth soundbar does the entertaining. Escape the group and curl up in front of the real-flame gas fire in the sitting room adjacent; enjoy a much-loved book, away from the chatter and laughter. At the back of the home, you will find the large kitchen/ diner, here budding chefs can make use of the range cooker and microwave to whip up tasty delights and after there is a dishwasher for a fuss-free clean. Take a seat at the grand dining table, where you can tuck-into mouth-watering dishes and laugh about the adventures so far. On sunny days, the beach is only 450 meters away, where your furry friends can stretch their legs as you bask in the sun. The property also offers a dog’s room, so our canine companion can sleep in his own bed and enjoy the wash station after a day at the beach. For those with limited mobility, there is a ground-floor twin bedroom (zip/link, can be Super-king on request), as well as a ground-floor shower room to make their stay as easy as possible! As the sky grows dark, climb up the striped stairs to discover a quaint study with a selection of books, an ideal spot for the little ones to listen to some bedtime reading. The older children may wish to escape the adults and head to the top floor, where they can play pool, air hockey, and unwind on the corner sofa with a Nintendo Switch. The top floor is also home to a charming twin bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and to find another twin bedroom, head downstairs to the first floor. The adults can rest their head in a super-king-size (zip/link, can be twin on request), a king-size or a double, all with storage and en-suites. Take advantage of your idyllic position between Hunstanton and Old Hunstanton and take a scenic walk to the nearby Old Hunstanton Beach to discover colourful cliffs, rock pools, and swimming opportunities between tide times; your four legged friends are welcome north of the promenade all year round. In the afternoon, head to Hunstanton Golf Club to test your swing, or why not visit SEA LIFE to see a range of sea creatures? Be sure to get up close to The Wreck of The Steam Trawler Sheraton, to marvel at a fishing boat, which was used in WWI and WWII. Refuel after a day of adventure with a bite to eat at one of the delicious restaurants that decorate the high-street, or if you'd prefer to dine from the comfort of your holiday home, pick-up fresh fish and chips or an Indian takeaway! Jump in the car to explore the gems of Norfolk, including Titchwell Marsh, where you can unwind on a sandy beach and admire birdlife or tour the 400 acres of Sandringham Estate to see the spectacular country house. Bring your bike along to soak in sights on the National Cycle Route 1, test your swing at the expansive grounds of King's Lynn Golf Club or indulge in treatments at Imagine Health & Spa. For long-lasting memories with your loved ones, secure a stay at Maples.

The award-winning coastal town of Hunstanton, locally known as Sunny Hunny, is located on the Western side of the East Norfolk Coastline, renowned for its beautiful sunsets over the sea.

The seafront with promenade offers rock and candyfloss stalls, funfair rides, a sealife sanctuary, bowls, golfing, a leisure centre, pitch-and-putt, Esplanade gardens, theatre, clean sandy beaches, donkey rides and sea tours in an amphibious craft. On Sunday afternoons a band often plays in the bandstand on the green overlooking the beach, serenading sunbathers and day-trippers, while throughout the year additional events are held within the town. Walking along the beach towards Old Hunstanton you find the richly-coloured cliff faces with intriguing rock pools.

Reviews (27)

  • John

    The large kitchen with very long refractory table helps the group eat,play,discuss and drink together. Convenient for beach walks and the main town attractions.

  • Anita

    Very well equipped with everything for 12 guests. We will definitely be back. Not for publishing - but for the owner - it does need a good clean - there are loads of cobwebs everywhere. The bottom bedroom wall shelves were very very dusty.

  • Carol

    However just a few issues, The dishwasher failed to work it showed E15 as problem. Showers running warm and cold, and very slow output of water. Lamp in Oriental room was broken upon arrival. These didn't spoil our experience but feel you need to know. Thankyou for sharing your house with us. Definately rebook for next year.
