We had a great week. Host & Stay was very responsive and helpful. The space provided was pleasant and easy reach to and from the seaside. Lovely to see wildlife such as terns and seals in their natural environment.

The setting and the weather were lovely. The beds were comfy and the kitchen and outbuildings well stocked, The garden was not secure for dogs, I had to use the bins to provide fencing. Wifi, totally non existent! Sand underneath all the furniture, clearly not been hoovered for some time, Lots of personal affects and draws in lounge full of junk, Shower curtain covered in mould and dirt and flooded bathroom, shower panel has obviously not been replaced! Putting the lights on in the evening caused the electricity to trip! Standing on a chair to reset the fuse box was not what I expected whilst "on holiday " There were no extra channels on the TV as indicated in the details The cooker was great the hob couldn't have been more complicated... The smoke alarm was hanging from the ceiling and the outside bench was too unsafe to sit on.. We contacted host and stay several times whilst we were there, but nothing was rectified during our stay! Considering the price,was definitely not value for money and I was only offered a 20% refund for all the problems we encountered, will not be returning!!

The location was beautiful and the cabin was well furnished but there were a lot of general maintenance problems which could lead to a nasty accident. The table and bench almost collapsed after sitting at it, and the steps up to the beach are very dangerous as the rope is broken all the way along and 1 of the posts v loose. Both have been highlighted before by previous tenants , the table and chair most recently by the tenants who arrived just before us and the rope being broken up the steps 2 years ago , despite this maintenance hasn’t been carried out and the company didn’t feel they had a duty of care to inform of risk to use ! The property was listed as having WiFi which didn’t work ! We booked the property because of the WiFi as we both needed to work. It was reported by the previous tenants that it didn’t work. Host and Stay should have offered alternative accommodation so they could fix Wi-Fi and the dangerous maintenance issues. Found nappy left in draw looked dirty !

Beautiful location, spacious cottage and really welcoming place. Facilities in the cottage were excellent and we had a great stay. The beach is superb for dog walking.

It was very close to the beach, clean and lovely views Could do with a fenced garden, was having to keep an eye on the dogs every time they needed the bathroom to keep them safe from cars going past, could do with a freezer as well, there was also a small amount of water coming through the floor in the bedroom right where the extension lead sat, unplugged it straight away and didn't use it

Proximity to the beach amazing Fantastic family feel, relaxing quiet with great views Everything you could need Cleanliness

I liked the location. I didn’t like the fact that it wasn’t clean - especially the bed covers, as getting into a bed with sand and dirty pillows was awful. It didn’t also have the basics for example salt and pepper. We had to wash all the dishes and cutlery before we used them as they were again greasy and dirty. I think the instructions on how to switch all the plugs on need to be emailed before hand, as the folder with all the instructions on how to switch everything on like hot water and heating was hidden on the book shelf between books. I think you need to speak a little bit of money on the place to bring it up to scratch and also make sure your cleaners are actually cleaning and changing the bed covers especially.

The place grew on us and by the end of the week we didn't want to leave. We wanted quiet and isolation and that's what we got. The access to the beach from the back garden is treacherous. Access from further down the road is possible but not if you have health issues or disabilities. I managed it just but my wife couldn't.

Great place with everything we needed. Fully equipped kitchen, I don't think anything was missing! Plenty of towels. Great location behind the (large) sand dunes - private access with quite steep steps up to the top of the dunes and over to the beach. However, great 360 deg views! Route up the steps could be quite tricky for some but there are easier alternative routes onto the beach and not too far away. Wonderfully peaceful, quiet and clean beach stretching for miles. Happisburgh and Sea Palling both easy walks along the beach. Friendly neighbours in the neighbouring properties. A lovely few days all round.

This beach house was perfect for visiting our friends nearby. The absolute best thing about the property is its location, nestled in the sand dunes, literally just a stones throw away from an expansive sandy beach. The dogs loved walking there, we swam in the sea and watched seals swimming. The beach was so quiet, it was wonderful. The sunrise is stunning if you can get up early enough to see it! The view to the front of the property is open fields. The beach house is comfortable and well equipped. We are always grateful when we find somewhere lovely like this that also welcomes pets. I would definitely recommend this property if you are looking for a restful stay in a beautiful location. As long as you are expecting a beach house rather than luxury accommodation this property will live up to your expectations. I do not think it would be humanly possible to keep all the sand out!

Really Enjoyed our stay. The location is amazing. Everything we needed was available, and a few surprise extras to help entertain us during our stay. The beach acess behind is amazing. We will return again one day The sandy lane to get to the property can be a little rough on the lower cars.

We had a really lovely stay here, the house was clean and well equipped. The free local honey was divine!! Throughly enjoyed it, it’s quiet and the surroundings are beautiful. The beach is dreamy, completely dog friendly. The dune behind is slightly higher than we thought but there is much easier access to the beach a minute up the road. The only thing that would have made it better was if the front was fenced in for the dog, otherwise perfect!! Would definately come back and can’t wait too. Thank you.

The location was amazing, the beach was beautiful and quiet, Unfortunately we came a week too early I think, as everywhere we went to visit was either closed or only open at weekends which was a bit disheartening but the place itself was beautiful.

Love this place, very relaxing, brilliant location. If you love the sea and sand this is the place to come. Great for dogs too. Well equipped beach house, great selection of DVD’s to watch at night. Very comfy beds too. Only one thing, would have been good to have a little freezer to make ice for my G&T.

The property was just behind the dunes, parking was excellent, the steps at the back of the property are steep and there is a bit of rope missing from one of the posts. Unfortunately the oven wasn’t working the element went, so it wasn’t working on arrival.. the shower was very temperamental, you would get it at a suitable temp, then it went hot, so a nuisance allowing children in… The beach is amazing, we brought wet suits so the children went in the sea and loved it, we found a not so steep way to get to the beach just 50m down the road, easy to find. The Elderly neighbours are lovely. We love Eccles, it’s our third year of visiting, we like the isolation, the fact that dogs are allowed all year on the beach, there is plenty of free beech. When the tide is out, it just looks beautiful
