We loved our stay at the cottage. Very cosy and comfortable. The surrounding area is a stunning and we would highly recommend Stiffkey Stores for a morning a coffee and pastry. We loved Holkham Nature Reserve, The Harnser at Cley and our boat trip with Temple's Seal Trips. Beautiful weather all week too!

Loved Teddy's (our lovely dogs) holiday this week. We have had wind, rain and sunshine on Wells beach. Unable to walk the coastal path due to the week's bad weather. Muckledyke Cottage is ideal for our four day break. Cosy, tastefully done out, and everything you need. Thank you.
