    “A wonderful little holiday home, warm, very clean, WiFi, great setting, short walk to the beach (1 minute from the door).”

    We loved Sea Urchin, so did Ivy, our springer spaniel dog, who didn’t want to leave! All the cutlery, crockery and glasses were perfectly clean, always a good sign. Eccles on Sea is a great, eclectic place and blessed with a beautiful coast line. Our host Robert keep us very informed from the day we booked and even after our holiday, very polite and personable, he meeted and greeted us, showed us around the place and talked through how everything worked and told us the best place to see ...

Eccles on Sea is a great, eclectic place and blessed with a beautiful coast line. Our host Robert keep us very informed from the day we booked and even after our holiday, very polite and personable, he meeted and greeted us, showed us around the place and talked through how everything worked and told us the best place to see seals. We had the best time, sea air, sand, fish n chips, grey seals ( my highlight) and a worn out dog, a first! Hope to return next year.

The immediate area hosts fantastic coastal walking and is well known for its colony of grey seals, which can be seen relaxing on the beaches of Sea Palling, Waxham and Horsey. If you are interested in more nature, Hickling Nature Reserve is only a few miles away, and for those wanting something a little livelier, the historic city of Norwich is less than half an hour by car.
