    “Frustrating to have to open the cupboard under the tv to change channels esp when you've got a curious dog with you.”

    Sofas were a little past their best and we found them uncomfortable. Loved the location. The cottage was spotless. The bed was very comfy and the addition of an ensuite toilet was perfect. The garden was great and Wilfred loved exploring it. The welcome pack was an added bonus and Wilfred loved the treats left for him. You have literally thought of everything. Parking was tight for our larger car esp if there were other cars parked nearer to the entrance. We did struggle to find the cottage ...

    Sofas were a little past their best and we found them uncomfortable. Loved the location. The cottage was spotless. The bed was very comfy and the addition of an ensuite toilet was perfect. The garden was great and Wilfred loved exploring it. The welcome pack was an added bonus and Wilfred loved the treats left for him. You have literally thought of everything. Parking was tight for our larger car esp if there were other cars parked nearer to the entrance. We did struggle to find the cottage initially due to the work vans parked either side of the alleyway, so we couldn't see the postbox referred to in the directions. It was a shame that the pub was being refurbished and the other pub didn't serve food during the week. Limited places to eat locally. However, we did enjoy walking to West Runton tearooms (literally the best scones we've ever had), Dormy restaurant (delicious food but drinks a tad expensive) and into Cromer to our favourite cafe, Buttercups. This was Wilfreds first holiday and he settled really well. There are many dog friendly places to eat in Cromer and West Runton and slightly further afield in Sheringham. Having the beach on our doorstep was fabulous. Wilfred loved exploring the rock pools but wasn't keen on the sea.

    Many thanks for the feedback. We are pleased Wilfred enjoyed his break! We are sorry to hear you didn’t find the sofas to your liking. The covers and cushions were all professionally replaced last year. We are hoping the White Horse pub will be open this summer, the menu certainly looks good and we are looking forward to a trying it out! Property Owner

The property

8 Melinda Cottage is an attractive, end-of-terrace fisherman’s cottage situated on a private no-through lane and close to the sea front in the charming village of East Runton, close to Cromer in North Norfolk. Just a moment’s walk from the beach, local shops, pubs and restaurants, 8 Melinda Cottage is a superb choice for a family and two dogs seeking a coastal base in Norfolk. The property has been furnished with a practical touch but with quality in mind; head inside and discover the open-plan living space, equipped with a fitted kitchen housing all the necessities for a week-away, whilst the dining table is ideal for mealtimes. Make yourself at home on the settee, flicking through channels on the Smart TV whilst the woodburning stove gently crackles in the background. Head upstairs to discover the bedrooms, each neutrally presented with a double with en-suite cloakroom, a twin, and an adult single. Start the morning with a rejuvenating shower in the bathroom before heading out to the rear garden, an enclosed space with bistro furniture, a barbecue, and a secure shed for bike storage. When you’re ready to explore the area, you won’t have to go far to reach several amenities, including supermarkets, restaurants and pubs at the end of the road. Continue to the sandy expanse of East Runton Beach, where you can spend an afternoon building sandcastles, testing your balance on a surfboard, or exploring the many rock pools. The beach is also dog-friendly so your canine companions won’t have to be left behind! Within a mile and a half lies Cromer, home to a Victorian pier offering theatre shows, the RNLI lifeboat station which tells the story of Cromer’s long lifeboat history, plus a selection of shops and fantastic restaurants – make sure you sample the famous Cromer crabs, which are a must! Head to the National Trust’s Sheringham Park and wander over a thousand acres of woodland and parkland with your pooch, whilst the Blakeney National Nature Reserve offers leisurely strolls with a chance to see unusual plants and wildlife. Escape to the North Norfolk coast with a stay at 8 Melinda Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
