We all had a lovely time at the property, location was great for the beach for our dog Ash, locals very welcoming and neighbours very helpful with which bins needed to be put out on Friday morning. Permit outside lighting would have been great in the patio area for bbq’s. What would be really useful for everyone in the village would be a mirror at the top of hill as the road is very narrow, then you could see the cars coming up/down the road. Yes we would visit this property again.

Nice house and very pretty garden. Close to sea but very steep slope down past life boats to beach. House is on bad bend without pavements, just be careful. Mundesley nice, well kept little village. Only a couple of places to eat. Visited Blickling and Felbrigg National Trusts, worth a look. Worth the drive to Sheringham, try the carvery in the cafe on the right as you walk up the High Street - best meal all week !
