“What a lovely stay we had over New Year.”

The property is clean, well equipped and comfortable. The position is perfect, close to everything you need; the beach, town, pub and supermarket. The beds are really comfortable and the bedding clean and fresh and the bathroom is large with a really good shower. We could find nothing to fault with the property and the owner is really friendly and helpful.

Patrick September 2022

“Given we use Sykes for all of our holiday’s there was no guest book to sign, no welcome basket.”

The Internet was unavailable in the bedroom. The front door wasn’t very secure. That aside we had a lovely holiday.

Tracy May 2022

“Extremely happy with our stay at 5d Hideways cottage.”

Set in a private, quiet courtyard. Though very close to all amenities. No need to leave Hunstanton- has it all ! Spacious, airy, stylish accommodation. Will certainly rebook Thank you

- Tracy, May 2022
David May 2022

“A good location bright airy living space.”

Large bathroom good walk in shower which suited our needs with an 86 year old relative who has limited mobility. Good kitchen facilities. However the bedrooms were small and the double lacked storage for clothes. Compared with other let’s we have visited communication with the owner was business like and minimal. There was no information in the premises.

- David, May 2022
Diana April 2022

“Very clean and homely.”

Nice and spacious for the kids to run around. Excellent location within walking distance from lots of amenities. Would definitely recommend.

Susan March 2022

“There are not any downsides to this property.”

It was very clean,well maintained and in a very good location for the supermarket, public house and beach.

Mike November 2021

“Stayed for a week on my own as I was photographing the Norfolk coast from Snettisham to Cromer.”

Hideaways would be fine for 4 people and luxury for one! The place was spotless when I arrived, was easy to clean on departure and cosy and comfortable. I slept in the double which suited me perfectly, in fact I slept better than at home. Parking was very close to the home making unloading easy and being off road it was very quiet. Two very slight niggles which didn't detract from the 5-star review. Occasionally the internet was slow and I couldn't find the router to reboot it to see if that helped. But it was manageable. And none of the knives were very sharp with no means of sharpening them. I always think blunt knives are more dangerous than sharp ones and are a bit obsessive about this at home, so probably my problem. Overall, it was a really good place to stay and would unhesitatingly return..

- Mike, November 2021
Debbie October 2021

“A fantastic property, great location, everything within walking distance which includes the lovely town of Hunstanton, fab fish and chip shop, Tesco, a pub, fun fair, sea life centre, there is also a boat called the Wash Monster which do tours to see the seals.”

However it’s worth bearing in mind you need to book and the last tour due to the tide is around the 25th October. Just up from there is a fab cafe called the Hunstanton Ski cafe and bar and they do an amazing full English breakfast. Everything is within a 20 minute walk at the most. 5d Hideaway is a modern property, spacious, with everything you could need and the beds are very comfortable. This was our second stay in 5d, as we have 2 young children it’s just perfect for us. We will book to go back again next year.

- Debbie, October 2021
Alan October 2021

“Our second visit to this cottage,just as clean and tidy as always.”

Ideal location.Owners are very friendly and helpful. Excellent

- Alan, October 2021
Selina September 2021

“A lovely cosy cottage right by the beach and close to amenities.”

Previous reviews outlined areas for improvement, which we found to have been corrected. Just don't forget to bring your own towels.

- Selina, September 2021
Christopher August 2021

“The cottage itself was ok but we did feel that there were a few issues.”

Firstly, there are absolutely no instructions at the place, including WiFi access. You are left to work out everything for yourself. Even a nice welcome note would be pleasant. There are no details of local attractions/places to visit etc which would have been nice.. just a simple folder with some useful local info. The shower does not evacuate properly and you end up standing in 2 inches of dirty water when showering. There are hardly any basic essentials there to make life easier on arrival- no foil or clingfilm to start you off or even a pint of milk for that first cup of tea which would cost nothing really but make you feel more welcome. All there was were 3 dishwasher tablets, a sponge and some washing up liquid which seems quite stingy given the cost of the place.

- Christopher, August 2021
James August 2021

“Very close to the beach a tesco the honeystone pub and chip shop it was very ...”

Very close to the beach a tesco the honeystone pub and chip shop it was very clean beds comfortable shower had a tendancy to go cold now and then with a fridge and dishwasher the washing machine,tumbledryer,2 irons and 2 ironing boards are housed in the separate building where there was also books and a collection of buckets and spades the wifi code was not on board asked a neighbour it is the same for all of them and no towels apart from this its a lovely place to stay and quiet but this could have just been to having good neighbours

Michelle June 2021

“Had a fantastic week in sunny hunny, accommodation was everything we could have asked forand more, great location and beds super comfy.”

- Michelle, June 2021
Sylvia June 2021

“We had Lovely week the weather was good and the accommodation met our needs as my Mum is 92 and her mobility is deteriorating it was perfect in every way and having a utility room was a big bonus as I was able to keep on top of the laundry so I didn't have to take all the dirty clothes home with us and having a dishwasher meant no washing up :) I would definitely recommend Hideways as a excellent base to explore the area.”

- Sylvia, June 2021
Veronica October 2020

“The whole site of Hideaways is excellent.”

Great location and stunning properties internally and externally. Would certainly return again and again.

- Veronica, October 2020
Susan October 2020

“Everything was fine but we felt the window blinds lacked privacy.”

If you put them up for daylight then anyone can see straight in. Obviously other occupants felt the same as every one left their blinds closed also

- Susan, October 2020
Melanie September 2020

“Lovely little gem about 3 minutes walk to beach.”

Very clean! Not in the most glamorous of areas but great base for exploring the north norfolk coast by car.

- Melanie, September 2020
Julie August 2020

“Really lovely cottage.”

Great location for the beach and local facilities. Owners were lovely and extremely friendly, helpful with restaurant and pub recommendations. Great place to stay, would definitely recommend.

- Julie, August 2020
Chris November 2019

“As with a number of feedbacks this property fails to meet expectations.”

No hairdryer and only one towel for seven days which is totally unacceptable. The owners were on the side constantly each day as if spying on what we were doing, very unnerving. There was no welcome pack not even a pint of milk. No bleach for the toilet No toilet paper past one day Broken light bulbs Failed remote control batteries Cold un fitting doors

- Chris, November 2019

Thank you for your feedback We are sorry to hear that the property didn’t meet your expectations The owner of the property has several cottages on this site & was visiting the other empty properties to complete winter maintenance. They want their Customers to enjoy their privacy during their stay There is no welcome pack at the property but the owner does make sure that tea, coffee and sugar are at the property for you to use. The owner is extremely approachable and had any of these issues been raised during your stay they would have been more than happy to resolve them for you while you were on holiday. Property Owner

Hedley November 2019

“A lovely property.”

Well equipped and comfortable. Peaceful, quiet location.

- Hedley, November 2019
Jackie October 2019

“Hunstanton is a lovely place and this cottage was very close to all amenities and excellent for walking out of the door.”

Hosts were very helpful. Mostly well equipped but could have done with a hairdryer and sieve. These are minor points as overall the facilities were excellent.

- Jackie, October 2019
Joy October 2019

“Good quality overall.”

Very comfortable unit. FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE ONLY, NOT FOR PUBLICATION/ Only helpful suggestion would be for more lighting by sofas for reading as the nights are dark now. The blinds in the double bedroom were the only thing not successful. Artificial lighting on next plot were on all night and the blinds were not up to keeping this at an acceptable level for sleeping. Had to use a towel over eyes.

- Joy, October 2019
Katherine August 2019

“Our 4th time staying at 5d Hideaways didn’t disappoint.”

This comfortable, clean, spacious accommodation and all Hunstanton and North Norfolk have to offer, keeps us coming back. The house is well equipped and everything we needed was available. The only one thing that has been an issue for us is the lack of curtains in the bedrooms. It can be very bright, very early. Being so close to all the amenities in Hunstanton but far enough away from the fair etc is a plus. Highly recommend and I’m sure we’ll be back.

- Katherine, August 2019
Roger July 2019

“We had a very comfortable stay at Hideaways well furnished and positioned very conveniently for the beach and the town both in comfortable walking distance.”

Would recommend this facility

- Joanne, June 2019
Sylvia June 2019

“I took my 90 year old Mum on holiday and 5D Hideaways was perfect for all our needs a real home from home and close to all the arcades and the Town but yet set away from everything so was really peaceful.”

We also met the owners who were so friendly and helpful we were so happy with our week away even though the weather was awful we have already booked to go back next year.

- Sylvia, June 2019
Sandy March 2019

“First place we have stayed at that didn’t have a welcome basket.”

We wouldn’t stay here again

- Sandy, March 2019
Marie March 2019

“Excellent layout and facilities for guests with limited mobility.”

Good quality comfy beds with bedding and towels.

- Marie, March 2019
Margaret March 2019

“Once we had arrived at our destination, we were delighted with the situation.”

Quiet and private; (but, doubtful that this would be the case in high season with windows and doors open). Good simple, but classy deco. Seating and beds very comfortable. Very good idea to have the 'clutter' of paperbacks, toys and household paraphernalia etc housed elsewhere.

- Margaret, March 2019
Alan October 2018

“Excellent cottage very well presented,clean tidy,close to supermarket,seafront,town all within short walking distance,ample private car parking,situated behind two bungalows,so quiet and private.”

There is as well a communal out building with washing machine,plenty of dvd,s and toys for the kids. Would highly recommend ,will definitely visit again.

- Alan, October 2018
Clarisse August 2018

“Lovely cottage, extremely clean.”

So close to the beach and facility. Walking distance to beach and shops. High recommend and would definitely go back.

- Clarisse, August 2018
Michelle July 2018

“We’ve stayed at hideaways twice now four years apart; once with a toddler and once with a 5 and 3 year old.”

On both visits the accommodation has been exactly as described; clean and well maintained with everything we needed. The location is fantastic, with lots of things to do within walking distance. This time we visited Roarr; the dinosaurs were amazing and we highly recommend a visit. Our children loved the fair and a visit to the beautiful old Hunstanton beach. A great location for young children and fantastic accommodation from which to explore it. Thank you for a great stay.

- Michelle, July 2018
Roy April 2018

“Situated a short walk to the beach, supermarket and a good simple restaurant.”

Parking was safe and secure. Cottage was clean and mostly had what is needed. My grandchildren visited and the cottage even had toys they could play with! WIFI was a bit patchy but was fine when it worked. Overall I was delighted with this property.

- Roy, April 2018
John March 2018

“A pleasant and clean cottage.”

A few more cooking utensils would have been useful but enough to get by.

- John, March 2018
Glenda November 2017

“We have just had a week`s winter break with friends at Hideaway, and would highly recommend this property.”

We had the coldest week of the winter so far, but found the cottage so warm and cosy. The furnishings were of a high quality with nice finishing touches of tasteful pictures and ornaments. The location was ideal being just a few minutes walk to the promenade into town. A Tesco supermarket just a few minutes away also. The only problem we encountered was the fact that there is no hanging space in the double bedroom. Luckily, we anticipated this due to previous reviews and took a small clothes rail with us. Not a great problem but could be if not aware of the fact. All in all, a great place to stay.

- Glenda, November 2017
Hedley November 2017

“Modern, well equipped and functional property.”

Excellent value.

- Hedley, November 2017
Michael September 2016

“The property was Great, nice and clean - and pretty well all the facilities we needed.”
