Overall the place was fine, but we felt it was definitely not worth what we paid and were underwhelmed.Pros: good location to walk straight onto the beach; clean and well looked after; EV charger; regular communication; TV in every room; good WiFiCons: not very dog-friendly - felt like we couldn’t relax because of the dog rules; small for 6 people (one toilet); lacks a homely feel (lacking curtains, sofa cushions, decor and accessories); feels like corners have been cut in places (basic Lidl hand soap, not enough baking trays, an old scouring pad left for us to use in the sink); dated furniture/interior design (hundreds of old DVDs for example); Caister itself very sleepy and non-descript.

Perfect place to relax and recharge . Just what was needed. Everything was within a short walk with the beach straight outside the back gate. We were made to feel really welcome and nothing was too much trouble for James who introduced himself as soon as.we arrived. I would definitely recommend it and we are very keen to visit again .

Absolutely beautiful stay, cannot fault.
The property and the location were second to none. James gave us recommendations of places to visit and some local eateries. The bedding and towels was very luxurious - bath sheets and lots of pillows! There were throws provided to cover the sofas so the dog could sit up with us too. The house was toasty, and to open the bedroom window and to hear the sea was amazing.
We had a takeaway fromRyans fish and chip shop which was so fresh, the battered halloumi was fabulous and very afforable.
We also would strongly recommend the The White Swan for those who love fresh fish - incredible.
Go to see the seals at Horsey if its the right time of year.
we will definitely be coming again.

Cosy cottage by the sea
Clean and cosy cottage with adequate equipment in kitchen for cooking purposes. Note that the bathroom is downstairs off kitchen we only found out it was downstairs by looking at the owners site originally at time of booking believed it was upstairs. Back access leads directly to beach. Back outside space all decked and will be lovely in sunny days. Front to property has a lovely table and chairs and hammock. Cottage is dog friendly and stair gate in use to prevent dog going upstairs. Beds were comfortably with white crisp linen. Another couple joined us for a few days and found the cottage to be spacious enough with 4 adults. The owner of the cottage (James) was a fantastic host. Warm and welcoming and could not have done enough for us. Amazing fish and chips from Ryans and the Indian restaurant is a must beat Naan bread ever!

Relaxation, seashore and sun,
Arrived in sunshine, it lasted all week. The house was very comfortable, good quality throughout, all requirements catered for. We visited meal suggestions from the owner, all good . We had many lovely walks along sand dunes, coastal routes spotting seals and enjoying coffee stops . Caister had enough local facilities
A really enjoyable break

Lovely short break
Lovely to be so near the sea. A real privilege to see the seal pups at Horsey - a seal even made an appearance near the cottage! Ryan’s fish and chips and the butchers shop nearby are very good
James (the cottage owner) was very friendly and helpful. Cottage was warm and cosy especially with a roaring fire. Access road isn’t as bumpy as we’d expected but a little narrow in one place. Our Tiguan was fine. Thanks for a nice peaceful break

A perfect spot for a seaside getaway
This beautiful cottage is literally on the beach and is all recently renovated to a nice specification. It has everything you need from a home away from home, it’s clean, well maintained and cosy. James is usually about to help with suggestions of things to do and places to eat locally. His recommendations we tried were spit on, (Ryan’s chippie and the Indian restaurant). We had two quite big dogs and both the front and back gardens were useful and well contained. I can highly recommend it and would more than happily stay there again if I go to Norfolk again. It would be nice to try it in the summer, but it was ok for a winter break, bearing in mind you are literally on the beach.
