“Absolutely fabulous holiday accommodation, if I could leave 6 stars, I would.”

Very well located for both the beach and town centre. Everything was so clean and well kept, it was a relief that there were no heavy scented sprays or bed linen, as we suffer with allergys. The kitchen was well equipped, lots of utensils and cooking pots. There is a separate building with washing machine, tumble and a chest freezer. Wi-fi didn't pick up inside the property for us, but just outside the door on the patio it was a good strong signal for checking messages, and was actually a relief ...

Wi-fi didn't pick up inside the property for us, but just outside the door on the patio it was a good strong signal for checking messages, and was actually a relief to have an internet break inside. Felt very safe, didn't feel the need to lock the door, and our neighbours in the other units were lovely. Would definitely recommend and look forward to a return trip. The owner was very friendly and helpful, a big thank you for providing us with such a wonderful place to holiday x

Graham October 2022

“THE ACCOMODATION WAS VERY BASIC AND ALTHOUGH COMFY WAS A LITTLE ON THE SMALL SIDE COMPARED TO WHAT WE HAVE BEEN USED TO.”

tHE LOCATION WAS GOOD WITH THE TOWN CENTRE VERY NEAR ALONG WITH A MAJOR SUPERMARKET. wE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE REASONABLE WEATHER AS WE COULD GET OUT AND ABOUT.

- Graham, October 2022
Debbie May 2022

“This was the third time we have stayed in the Hideaway properties but the first time in 5C.”

Another lovely property, clean, comfy beds and has everything that you need. There were a couple of things we made the owner aware of and he said he would get them sorted, but nothing that interferes with our stay.

- Debbie, May 2022
Jane May 2022

“Ideally situated near the town centre and seafront with good access and parking.”

The property was lovely and looked like a mini barn conversion with vaulted ceilings and wooden beams. Beautifully clean with all the facilities you could need including a washing machine (in a separate out building). We would definitely book again if we wanted to visit this area.

- Jane, May 2022
Diane January 2022

“Really lovely holiday accommodation.”

So well furnished and equipped. There is even the use of a laundry room should you need it! We would definitely recommend this.

“Could not get Internet after 2nd day”

- Jenny, September 2021

“Problem with showering no hand rails or bath .”

At until they got one. No internet no good for keeping up with your work. But then who cares all you are interested in themoney

F September 2021

“Great cottage very good position in Hunstanton.”

One suggestion re.last morning at the property would be to put the dishwasher on with remaining pots and cutlery and for the maintenance staff to empty. This action would give new occupants satisfaction the utensils were safe to use.This is standard practice with Original Cottages and Time share companies

“Second visit to this group of four properties.”

Clean, tidy and in a perfect location to explore Hunstanton and the surrounding area. A perfect base and a pleasant stay.

Doreen October 2020

“We had a lovely week in Hunstanton.”

5c Hideaway was very clean and comfortable and close to the beach and shops.

- Doreen, October 2020
Sezar Atta September 2020

“No hairdryer, cheap useless corkscrew (We bought a Tesco one and left it), no local information sheet.”

Convenient place for the area. Tesco for shopping nearby. Off road parking.

- Sezar Atta, September 2020
Suzanne September 2020

“Really enjoyed our holiday , very clean and well equipped cottage.”

The onky thing people need to be aware of is the WiFi is terrible nearly non existent. I think this is a general thing at hunstanton. Had an issue with my car. Pat could not be more helpful thanks to her was fixed by local garage the next day Really recommend hideaways

- Suzanne, September 2020
Rebecca August 2020

“Really disappointed with the location, set in a static caravan holiday park near a fairground.”

This was not clear in the details. Not very clean, we had to wash the china before we used it, the wifi is virtually nonexistent the phone signal is worse and the Tv is terrible with poor sound.

- Rebecca, August 2020
Lee February 2020

“Well presented, great location will definitely be going back.”

Stayed warm despite the poor weather outside, great break couldn't fault the facilities.

- Lee, February 2020
Claire August 2019

“The location is excellent.”

Really quiet (except for the seagulls but that’s no ones fault!) Clearly have listened to previous feedback as storage has been included now and milk in the fridge waiting. WiFi is very hit and miss but that was clear from the feedback so no surprise there. Washing machine and freezer available too which was an added bonus. Very clean.

- Claire, August 2019
Janet July 2019

“Quiet and comfortable accommodation, close to amenities.”

However for people having travelled a long way to their holiday home, a welcome pack of tea, coffee, sugar and especially milk we feel would really be a welcome; something we have encountered on other holidays.

- Janet, July 2019
Margaret May 2019

“1. No lock on bathroom door.”

2. Mirror in bathroom & kitchen wall cupboard suitable for very tall people. 3. Cramped bedrooms with room for previous day's clothes only on shelf behind bed. 4. No instructions for turning on TV. Switch eventually found under lower edge. 5. Space for last car in too narrow. Passengers had to be let out before car parked, & driver then had a job to get out.If spaces were marked, it might be farer. 6. No information as to where communal freezer & washing machine were to be found. 7. The bed inside door of twin room tended to "walk" towards the door! 8. We do not understand why the exact location of the premises are not revealed until final payment is paid.

- Margaret, May 2019
Corinne January 2019

“I think that customers should be made aware thst there is an outbuilding which contains a washing machine and freezer for guests to use Also how often towels are changed as another set for a week would have been useful.”

Everything else was excellent and spotless good location to a tesco open til at least 8 pm and a pub within 1 minute walk. Walk from accommodation to lighthouse and have a coffee is a couple of miles each way . Cafe only open at weekends in winter months Hosts were very pleasant and obliging . There is a refurbished disabled lodge with a wet room if anyone is interested which has 2 double beds

- Corinne, January 2019
Catherine November 2018

“The property location was great for us visiting the area for bird watching.”

The property was clean and the beds were some of the most comfortable I’ve ever had when staying in holiday accommodation. The bathroom was spacious and included a bath. The only criticism I would mention is the lack of somewhere to put our clothes as there are no wardrobes in the bedrooms, only bedside tables. Overall we had a lovely week here and would recommend to others.

- Catherine, November 2018
Ralph September 2018

“Disappointed with wi Fi signal sometimes couldn't get it except late at night very hit and miss”

- Ralph, September 2018
Marian July 2018

“The front room and kitchen were very large.”

But there was now were to put your cloths in the bedrooms. Only a bedside cabinet with small draw. This was the only downfall. There was only two off us if there had been 4 it would have been terrible. Trying to live out of your suitcase.

- Marian, July 2018
Mrs Werran October 2016

“The cottage was clean, warm and cosy, so close to the amenities of Hunstanton.”

We spent a lovely holiday here and would thoroughly recommend the location. It was our first visit to Norfolk, the people we met were very warm and friendly. We intend to visit again. Many thanks Mrs Richardson for a great holiday.

- Mrs Werran, October 2016
Sharon August 2016

“Great set of cottages,very clean and spacious.”

Nice owner who was very helpful. 5 stars !

- Sharon, August 2016
Carolyn July 2016

“We loved that the accommodation was in its own little compound, it was so nice and quiet, but within easy walking distance of the beach, funfair, the supermarket and the town centre.”

It was ideally placed for us as we brought children and were easily able to lug all our gear to the beach and back without having to consider parking. Hunstanton is a great base from which to visit the attractions of North Norfolk. The furnishings made the unit very comfortable and homely and the tiled floor made us feel less concerned about sand!

- Carolyn, July 2016

John September 2014

“The owners were lovely, the property really well kept and comfortable, plus convenient for everything.”

I was taking my mum away for a few days, not something I'd done before and I was quite anxious, but she LOVED the apartment and it was all really comfortable and easy for her. We had a brilliant time - and we didn't go out a great deal due to her mobility, but she was very happy staying in as it was so lovely.

- John, September 2014
Eric September 2014

All the rooms were very well equipped and in excellent decorative order. Good sized TV. Quiet with good access to shops. The toys and play area were great for small children. The location is ideal with plenty of things to do with small children nearby. We had a great time.

- Anthony, April 2014
