About this property
Perched on the coast in Overstrand, Norfolk is this welcoming, detached bungalow of The Lobster Pot. A fabulous escape for a family of four's getaway, The Lobster Pot enjoys contemporary interiors that pop with colour throughout. On arrival, you'll be relieved to uncover two off-road parking spaces, making settling in and getting unpacked hassle-free. Progress into the tastefully appointed open-plan living space, where colourful furnishings give the space a vibrant feel. Kick back and relax on the plush corner sofa as you enjoy a show on the TV and warm your toes by the glowing electric fire. When you're feeling peckish, make your way around to the kitchen, where sleek cabinets offer a range of integrated appliances that are bound to please any foodie; the space also offers a handy washing machine! When dinner has been fixed up here, tuck into it at the round dining table or, on sunny days, take it out to the back garden, where you can savour it on the decking. After dinner, head back to the sitting area or unwind in the external snug, where plush seating can be found alongside a fridge/freezer and a tumble dryer. As day turns to night, retreat to one of the two fabulous doubles to catch your rest, both of which enjoy access to a superbly fitted shower room, where a glass walk-in shower takes centre stage. In the mornings, prepare a steaming cup of coffee with the property's coffee maker before heading out to the garden to rustle up an alfresco breakfast on the barbecue. Walk down to the beach and soak up the sun as you lounge on the sand or go paddling in the turquoise waters before stopping at The White Horse for a meal with local ale; alternatively, head to the local shop to pick up any essentials for a homemade dinner. Venture to the neighbouring town of Cromer, a place famous for its crab and seafood, which can be sampled at one of its many eateries before wandering down to the sandy shores, trying your hand at putting at The Royal Cromer Golf Club or enjoying a live show at the renowned Cromer Pier & Pavillion Theatre. As you're within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there're plenty of opportunities for hiking, cycling, and birdwatching; the Overstrand Cliffs are point of interest, where you can soak up panoramic views of the ocean, while the Scolt head Island National Nature Reserve is within reach and is a stunning spot to visit. There's very access from the property to numerous old historic Georgian and Victorian market towns such as Holt, Fakenham, Burnham Market, Aylsham, North Walsham, and also the historic city of Norwich of course; you'll rarely run out of things to see here! A marvellous stay awaits at The Lobster Pot.
Overstrand is a modest beach village on the north Norfolk coast, about two miles east of Cromer.

Found our way around heating controls which we found confusing previously.Instructions for this and appliances would be helpful.We were very warm.Issues with WiFi which was probably a local fault(which we also experienced at home).Enjoyed our stay as we found Cliff Top cafe and Royal Hotel at Mundesley still doing good food.

Unfortunately we had extremely strong winds overnight on the first night (Saturday) of our stay which blew a fence panel down. I messaged the owners as our little dog could escape into the neighbours garden and by the Tuesday a new panel had been fitted. We can't thank them enough! The only thing I would say about the bungalow is the fact that it has two double bedrooms we were supposed to be going as two couples. Unfortunately our friends were unable to come at the last minute but we would have struggled with space in the small lounge area if they had. There is a corner sofa which means only three people can sit comfortably with the fourth person having to sit in the corner with their legs squeezed between two others. Others should be aware of this but it was (for just two of us) a minor complaint in an otherwise perfect place. We would definitely like to return but it would be two or three of us, not four.
