High House in Norfolk receives high praise for its ample space, comfort, and facilities, making it ideal for large family gatherings and special occasions. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, games room, hot tub, and the property's charm and character. Its proximity to beaches and local amenities adds to its appeal, although some minor maintenance issues were noted.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found High House clean and tidy upon arrival, with particular mention of clean bedding and bathrooms. However, one review cited dirty floors and a need to wipe down dining surfaces, suggesting room for improvement in cleaning standards.
The property's location is highly regarded, with its close proximity to country and beach walks, local pubs, Cromer, and other attractions. It is described as ideally placed for exploring the surrounding coast and amenities.
Guests consistently mention the comfort of High House, highlighting comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and a cosy atmosphere. The property seems to cater well to the comfort of large groups.
The facilities, including a games room, hot tub, and well-equipped kitchen, are generally praised. However, some maintenance issues like insecure doors, worn pool table cloth, and a disintegrating dart board have been reported, indicating a need for attention.
The presence of a Christmas tree and the provision of towels and bedding suggest a thoughtful touch by the hosts. While these gestures are appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches may vary and are not guaranteed with every stay.

The chef of the group will have all they need in the huge kitchen/diner to prepare delicious meals, ready to enjoy at the large dining table for 12 over celebratory bottles of fizz and tales from the day. After dinner, why not head through to the conservatory/games room to challenge your loved ones to a game of pool or head out to the rear garden, where you can savour your favourite tipple at the bistro table, fire up the barbecue, or indulge in a soak in the bubbling hot tub. Completing the ground floor is a utility and two cloakrooms for your convenience. Climb the stairs up to the first floor, where you can wash away the day in the beautifully appointed bathroom with freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower, before finding three of the home’s tastefully decorated bedrooms, a super-king with en-suite shower room, a king and a twin, both of which are zip/link.

Your local amenities can be found in Southrepps, where you can dine at the welcoming Vernon Arms, or stock up on essentials at the well-stocked supermarket. Next stop is Overstrand, where you can spend a day at the beach, embark on the renowned Deep History Trail which spans for 22.3 miles along the Norfolk clifftops, or soak up the views front the Overstrand Cliffs. Continue onto Cromer, home to its own beautiful beach, a bustling pier with its own theatre, the RNLI Henry Blogg Museum, an original BANKSY artwork, a historic lighthouse, an excellent golf club and the popular Amazona Zoo.

Just incredible! Exactly what we wanted/needed and more! Immaculate house, stunning interior, lots of space, incredible amount of kitchen equipment, clean and tidy and the perfect setting for a long weekend. All towels and bedding provided. Great location, no neighbours and close to the coast! Would highly recommend and hope to return one day.

The location was amazing not far from cromer beach and other places for the kids. Facilities and Space where excellent. Lots of space in all rooms. Huge garden area. The games room and hot tub was an added bonus. Along with the outdoor chairs and large fire pit which was ace for bonfire night and marshmellows. We have a made some memories that ourselves and kiddies will remember for a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. (I could go on... we will definately recommend).

So comfortable and so clean, and it came with everything you needed to cook for yourself. We loved the dishwasher, as it made it super easy to clean up after ourselves without too much hassle. The hot tub was a big hit with the girls, it was much needed on one of the hottest weekends of the year! The interior decor is beautiful and the front/back outside areas are gorgeous. The house is also only a 10 minute drive away from Cromer beach! I honestly couldnât recommend it enough! Thank you for a lovely weekend.
