Had a lovely time in the cottage it was well equipped and felt like home from home. The extra room for washing/drying etc was brilliant and didn't have a problem with the walk in shower although small it was functional. my only critic but on a personal level was the beds seemed very soft. When we arrived we were not aware that the local pub was closed for refurbishment which was a shame as we wished to walk around the village rather than having to drive at night. If this could have been relayed by the owners before we arrived it would have helped. The facilities were wonderful, a lovely place to stay and would consider staying here again.

Perfect location, close to the beach, pubs & shops
This is our 2nd time at this property. Beautiful cottage in a perfect location, close to the beach, pubs & shops. Well equipped with everything you coild possibly need. The addition of the new wet room has certainly added to this cottage, however it wasn't key to our return. We will be booking again.

Jasmine cottage
We have just returned from a very relaxing 4 days at the cottage . It is ideally situated for long dog walks , either in Land or on the beach . The amenities at the cottage are excellent and it has everything you’d need for your stay . We will be returning in the new year to experience more of the surrounding area .

Lovely cottage in perfect location
This is my second stay at this cottage and I love it. I really don't understand the negative reviews. The cottage is clean, the beds are comfortable, kitchen well equipped, there is a lovely conservatory and a good size garden. The refurbished downstairs bathroom looks good and the shower is great. This is an old cottage and as such doesn't have high water pressure but it is more than adequate. I really think that the people moaning should perhaps look at booking more modern properties

Cosy cottage
Excellent holiday. This is our second visit two adults and three dogs. Weather was kind to us. We managed to take advantage of the garden which was well fenced and totally safe for the dogs. The cottage was warm enough that we didn’t need to light the wood burner. Kitchen well stocked. Lounge cosy and comfortable. Beds very comfortable. USB charging station on the landing very very useful. Ten to fifteen minute walk to the beach (or five minutes to the White Horse pub depending on the time of day).Turn left on the long sandy beach (dog friendly). Walk 2 km to the Beach Cafe for an amazing breakfast. Walk back through the sand dunes. We’ve already booked again for next year.

Disappointed
We were so delighted on the day we arrived to find the most charming of places, only to be very disappointed quite soon, no welcome pack 😒 I begin with, the shower/wet room is not fit for purpose can’t swing a cat in it let alone try to have a shower! The bedding did not feel clean along with the general cleaning,not up to par.the sofas were past being serviceable,I could go on but no room left ,we always make sure our dog is up to date with all his flea/tick treatments before we spend time in someone else’s house, but my husband was bitten by fleas to wire some extent, obviously sofas etc were not cleaned properly, we almost came home mid week as we were so disappointed with what could have been such a lovely stay.

Had a very nice week at jasmine cottage, was only a short 5-10 min walk down the lane to get to the coastal walks.The Cottage was clean and tidy and had everything we required, with a nice garden. Hunstanton only a short drive or a long walk along the beach. Would recommend a stay especially if you enjoy the coast.

Tired Decor
The cottage is lovely from the outside and its position in the village is perfect for walks on the beach or to visits to the pub! However, the cleanliness of the property was poor and everything is very tired. Downstair shower cubicle has black mould and is very small, kitchen fridge doesn’t shut properly, and the units are of poor quality. The heating is provided by storage heaters which were ok but rusty. The heat loss in the property must cost the owners a fortune!

The cottage was lovely, as per the description. However, if the cottage is let out in winter, improvements need to be made to heating. The cold weather was exceptional but I am still disappointed at the coldness in most of the rooms. Night storage heaters in most rooms and tiny radiators in the cloakroom and kitchen were the only heat sources, resulting in great discomfort. I luckily brought extra blankets and slept in extra layers of night clothing but still the house felt cold, except at about 3am. The house temperature spoiled the holiday, despite lighting the log burner in the evenings but, of course, that could only be done after going out for dinner, for example. Warm and cosy it was not.

Perfect dog friendly cottage by the sea
Lovely cottage with everything we needed. Perfect for our dogs with large enclosed garden. Great to be able to park on drive and close the gates so dogs were extra safe. Beautiful location with gorgeous beach within short stroll from cottage. Nearby Hunstanton has all you need including supermarkets & dog friendly cafes. Snettisham beach nearby is gorgeous as is all the coastline in North Norfolk. We visited Cromer, Sandringham and the Broads. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return. Thank you for a much needed recharge 😍😊

Cleanliness, shower and garden let it down
I don’t think we are saying anything different having now read previous reviews. The cottage needs a new cleaner, I would definitely fire them. Cobwebs everywhere and shower room was filthy., well the majority of downstairs was actually and it made my sister itch all week. The shower itself was pitiful. Dog poo all over the garden. The double bedroom needs a new mattress. It was so lumpy I had to sleep on top of the duvet to avoid the springs digging in my back. Having had an all electric storage heater property myself I would install a pump on the water tank and put solar panels on the garage roof. The heating was erratic. No fused switches were on but the old creda storage heaters were doing overtime - must be costing the owner a fortune, plus the fused spur in the downstairs bathroom wouldn’t be obvious to other parties to switch it off. Need a sign on the downward step Mind The Step! Infact move the shower into the large laundry room and put the washer and dryer in the downstairs bathroom. Plumbing and waste already there and they would definitely fit. For such a great location, an update, clean and minor renovations would pay for itself.

We loved the location. & was a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed lots of walks with Molly & visited the local pub several times. We were lucky with the weather & enjoyed many beach days. The surrounding beaches are all lovely. We had a great stay & would come back again.

Sublime to ridiculous experience.
Excellent location, superb garden, studio, garden furniture and conservatory. The premises were extremely well equipped throughout. Could not fault the kitchen or lounge, except that the settees were very soiled, and needed cleaning. The low beams in various parts of the property are dangerous and cause pain (as we discovered). This factor should be a flagged warning within the description. Three bedrooms - one wardrobe - no further comment needed. The situation re showers is ludicrous as many other reviews have highlighted. The opportunity to install a proper shower in the enormous laundry rom has been missed. There was so much to enjoy about this property, but due to the factors listed above, we are, at present, unsure as to whether we would wish to return in the future.

A little gem, close to the sea
Absolutely loved the place and its location. Great house and garden with a 10 min walk to beach with loads of walks and places to run. My kind of wide beach with good sand and plenty of private spots. And I saw a seal on the beach 30 meters from me when walking the dog, how cool is that! Also not far from Hunstanton which in my view is nice, we loved Sea Life.. On the down side, the place could do with a bit of a deep clean which perhaps is what we expect when we’re paying customers. That said, it didn’t bother me too much and we would most certainly love to visit again. In fact, I wouldn’t mind living there. Overall, we enjoyed it so much more than our holidays to Cornwall

This is a lovely spacious property, we have stayed in twice before. The tiny downstairs shower room is appalling. We thought it would have been updated by now, but it hadn’t. The shower head just dribbles. Such a shame as the rest of the property is very comfortable. We won’t be returning unless we hear the shower has been renewed.

Nice cottage in excellent location
Overall we enjoyed our stay in this cottage. The garden and outside area is excellent and fully enclosed, and it was great to have off road parking. Unfortunately the interior of the cottage is looking rather tired and is in need of a thorough clean, which I think has been mentioned before. The cottage is, however, in an excellent location within a short walking distance of the beach and marshes and has wonderful walks from the door.

We did enjoy our stay at the cottage, it's very close to the beach and lots to do in the surrounding areas of Hunstanton, Brancaster, Wells etc. Only negative is the cleanliness of cottage, definitely didn't have a deep clean before we arrived so I did clean bits myself so not to let it ruin our holiday. It needs general maintenance too. I'd stay in Holme again but not sure if I'd stay at that particular cottage.

What can I say? Location perfect for quiet beaches, long walks, enjoying nature. Accommodation was well appointed, really good WiFi everything you need for home from home. Far enough from the resort at Hunstanton, to be quiet, close enough if you want everything from a small British seaside resort (fairground amusements fish and chips) an hour’s walk or 8 minutes in the car. Quirky old cottage with mostly modern fittings.. only slight downside was 2nd bedroom is a double bed so our twins (aged 10) shared . Lovely secluded garden with good BBQ. And summer house. 7 minutes walk to an amazing quiet beach, 5 to some amazing walks. It has some games, books, and big selection of DVDs including most Monty Python (impressive) movies! All in all a great family holiday location and cottage.
