The cottage was very nice but needs safety rails to be put in where the two steps are leading in and out of the downstairs bedroom. We particularly chose that cottage because we were taking our elderly friend with us who is 95 years old and thought a downstairs bedroom would be perfect for her as she is not so mobile now. However, there was no meRead morention of the two steps going up to that bedroom in the description of that property and because there are no rails to hold onto our friend fell backwards down the steps during our stay. She was bruised but okay. This could have been avoided if handrails were fixed on the wall. Hide

The cottage itself was lovely and well equipped. The location was lovely. Such a pity about the dreadfully uncomfortable beds and sketchy WIFI. I wouldn't go back there.

The cottage was well equipped and overall very comfortable except for rather hard mattresses. Great position and close to Hunstanton. We really enjoyed our stay with close family and the layout suited our family really well. Very good value. The Gin Trap in the village had amazing food and Eric's fish and chips at Thornham were also a big hit.
