“We had a lovely week in great weather.”

The house is very comfortable with a great corner sofa and also other seating/living areas all in the one open plan living space. Kitchen very well equipped (but no cafetiere, if that is important to you). Being so close to the beach is a massive bonus. The adjacent holiday camp was mostly empty and quiet during our stay.

The only things that would be good additions would be some sort of garden shade, and more garden furniture options. The bench overlooking the sea was a favourite spot but got hot in the middle of the day. Note only one bathroom which wasn't a problem for us but could be for others.

“Lovely house.”

It is however a lovely house, and I can see how it would be ideal for a summer family holiday. The log burner was great and very needed in the main room as otherwise it would have been very chilly (March visit). Great base for exploring the Norfolk seaside and relaxing.

A fab shed/ garage to store the children’s bikes and toys , a large garden to play in , easy access to the beach , and lovely quiet roads for the youngsters to cycle on . Our 4th visit and we all love it . The children look forward to it as much as we do . Finally we love the outdoor parking to accommodate our friends who visit . Beautiful house , great position , large plot . Perfect !

Lovely property quite and relaxing, was lacking a few utensils, was not as clean as expect with a pile of rubbish push under the bed, toilet not cleaned properly with poop on the lid so had to do some cleaning before our holiday started, over all nice place

“Windyridge is beautiful accommodation situated down a private road and 1 minute from the beach.”

It is spotlessly clean and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. It has a large garden area which is secure the grandchildren found it a great to play area. There is a seating area at top of the sand dunes which overlooks the sea where we were able to watch a number of seals playing during our stay. we all had a great stay and hope to return in the future.

“Windyridge is a lovely property and the bench overlooking the sea makes the holiday really special.”

The house is well equipped and comfortable with lots of space. The standard of cleaning could have been better, there were cobwebs and dust on the floor and the plastic tablecloth had sticky mug rings etc from the previous occupier. As there are no blinds on the large windows and the toilet opens directly into the living room, it was a bit alarming to find 2 window cleaners staring at me coming back from the shower on Saturday morning, followed by someone mowing the lawn later in the day. It left us feeling a bit vulnerable not knowing who was going to be outside the window next. The windows give a lovely view but it feels very exposed especially at night. All in all though the holiday was lovely, we saw 3 deer and a kestrel playing in the garden and sitting on the bench we saw several seals playing in the waves. The beach is easy to access right next to the property and there are nice shops in Stalham about 15 mins drive away.

“Great property in a quiet location.”

Well appointed clean and comfortable. Everything you would need for a relaxing break with the added bonus of its own sea view on the ridge. Highly recommended.

“On a personal note the mattress in main bedroom was too soft for my liking.”

Other than that the property was clean and well equipped. Really enjoyed our stay.

“We loved our stay here, beautiful place in a gorgeous location!”

We absolutely can not say anything negative at all. The only one little suggestion I could make is to have a clothes airer for when the weather isn't good.

“2nd visit to Windy Ridge , with our grandchildren , they love it .”

Excellent position by the sand dunes and sea . Lovely large garden to play in . Excellent facilities in the house , and easy to clean . Everything has been thought out , even a tap outside for sandy feet . Only draw back , floor not level in the living room , but just need to remember the step !!! Have booked again for next year

“From the moment we seen Windy Ridge we fell in love with this property.”

The house is cosy, modern and full with anything that you can think of for a great stay, fast Wi-Fi, magazines, books, games and a well stocked kitchen with any utensil you may require for your stay. The master bedroom is huge with an Emma mattress and good quality bed sheets, if you listen carefully you can hear the sea from this room. All other rooms were comfortable and had their own TV. The garden is huge and has a shed with some outdoor games inside and storage for body boards, bikes and sandy shoes. We spotted a family of hares, various birds and a deer during our stay all from the comfort of the sofa that looks out to the garden. The garden also has a bench looking out to the sea where we spotted some seals swimming. We spent most mornings and evenings on the bench watching the sun rise and set. If you are looking for a tranquil space to stay, with good walks and that is in a good position to visit coastal villages this is it!

“Buried in the Norfolk countryside and yet only a 15 minute drive to Stalham where you'll find everything you need.”

Brilliant, peaceful location, would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet escape

Debra April 2023

“Lovely comfortable beds & furniture plenty of utensils, heating hit and miss.”

We saw seals for seating in sand dunes and loved the roar of the waves. I agree the master room needs an ensuite even if only a toilet. Another easy thing to change no plugs are close enough to a mirror for drying hair we needed to buy a 3 metre extension lead, either buy a couple or move mirrors FINALLY need clarification as you when at first building on left DON'T TURN INTO BEACH ROAD. It's a slight turn to left then right still on church lane and you can see a big metal gate, head for this straight go passed the metal sign the road stops at the gate the cottage is on the right side of this road. Would we stay again absolutely pity weather wasn't good so will be back in warmer weather. Ps the extraction fan outlet needs securing somehow as constantly banging

“We loved it, peace and quiet very restful.”

Lovely walks beside the sea. The property is done to a very high standard and well equipped for all your needs. Although for us it was perfect an extra toilet could be added if there are 6 people staying there. Loved loved loved the bench seat looking out to sea from the garden.

“We were really happy with our stay at this property.”

With the help of the aerial map provided by the owner it was not too difficult to find. The property was spotlessly clean, comfortably furnished and very well equipped with good bedding and nice towels. Maybe, if there are several people sharing the property, the only one bathroom could be a drawback but this did not affect us. We do hope to visit again in the future. It is situated very close to the beach which provided fantastic walks.

Amanda Fleur September 2022

“Well equipped house, full kitchen to cook meals, comfy beds and sofa.”

Also had garden chairs to enjoy on the patio. Very close to the sea and in a great location to explore the area. Even though it was September we were able to paddle every day. Good pubs a short drive away and a cafe in walking distance along the beach, Smallsticks. Highly recommended.

“From the moment we arrived we loved Windy Ridge .”

So bright , clean and comfortable . Everything we needed was on hand and we had a wonderful week with our grandchildren . Plenty of garden to play in. Beautiful views from the sand dunes , and easy access to the beach , with a well Positioned outside tap to wash sandy feet . Our friends all loved it , and one family , like us has , already booked for next year . The house was very well equipped , with washing machine and dish washer , and very spacious fridge . For us the outside shed was a bonus , to store bikes , body boards etc .

“We stayed at Windy Ridge for two weeks.”

The property is in it’s own grounds of one acre, is quiet and very close to the beach. Lovely walk beside the sea to Cart Gap where the lifeboat station is and Smallsticks cafe which serves fantastic food. The property is spacious, well equipped and clean to a high standard. We would thoroughly recommend Windy Ridge.

“Brilliant property in a fantastic location right near the sea.”

Not much to do in the immediate area except relax and walk the beach - perfect for what we wanted. Lots to do, however, within a few miles drive. The owner provided some good local guidance. We found mobile phone reception in the property was very poor, but you only had to walk a few yards up the road to get a decent signal. One very pleasant surprise was the excellent internet connection and very good Smart TVs in the lounge and each bedroom. As the weather was varied during our stay in the last week of October, the entertainment was very welcome. We slept in the king bedroom and it was very comfortable with an Emma mattress.

“We had an excellent stay at Windyridge.”

There were a few teething problems but that’s to be expected from a newly refurbished property. Location is great - you can fall asleep listening to the sounds of the waves crashing just on the other side of the dunes. We even saw seals in the sea and on the beach. So easy to get to the front and walk in either direction. We walked to Happisburgh and back one day and it’s very easy. The house itself is really comfortable and very well equipped. Literally the only suggestion we would have is that it would be useful to add some hooks to the backs of bedroom and bathroom doors for towels, etc.
