    “On arrival we were greeted by a complimentary bottle of wine, milk tea etc .”

    The bungalow shown signs of newness and fresh cleanliness, the furnitings were very comfy. We spent most time in the more than spacious conservatory. Outside , although obvious work in progress was a sun trap and well secure for our adventurous JRT! The town itself was very nice and not far to the seafront. The nearest pub was only a short stroll away. Bus's are plenty to head of to Hunstanton etc. Sandringham is a great visit as is Cromer , Sheringham and Wells also the lavender centre ...

    The bungalow shown signs of newness and fresh cleanliness, the furnitings were very comfy. We spent most time in the more than spacious conservatory. Outside , although obvious work in progress was a sun trap and well secure for our adventurous JRT! The town itself was very nice and not far to the seafront. The nearest pub was only a short stroll away. Bus's are plenty to head of to Hunstanton etc. Sandringham is a great visit as is Cromer , Sheringham and Wells also the lavender centre. Hunstanton has plenty for all and good quality eateries, being coeliac I find it difficult sometimes. Henrys chippy is 5 star for gf fish and chips. We met the owner who popped over to resolve a minor issue. Overall a great relaxing break (apart from the morning cockerel) near to the bungalow, and would return.

About the location

HEACHAM

Hunstanton 2.5 miles; King's Lynn 15 miles.

Heacham is a large village located on the West Norfolk coastline, on The Wash, boasting a lovely family friendly sandy beach, ideal for jet skis, kitesurfing and windsurfing. The village has many cottages built from Carstone, which is a feature of this part of Norfolk, and also offers a good range of shops, restaurants and country pubs. Within walking distance is Caley Hall, home to Norfolk Lavender with its sweet smelling lavender fields, and Heacham Hall, owned by John Rolfe, who brought his young bride Pocahontas to England to live at the hall (in the local church of St Mary you will find a memorial to her). This part of Norfolk is renowned for its abundance of birdlife throughout the year, with several local RSPB sites, while within easy driving distance is Pensthorpe Nature Reserve and Gardens, as seen on BBC's Springwatch. Nearby Hunstanton offers traditional seaside entertainment including a sealife centre, while The Queen's Sandringham Estate is just a 15 minute drive.
