The property is located on the main road through East Runton where there is a local shop, a pub and fish'n'chip takeaway. Bus stops for travel into Cromer or to Sheringham are very nearby. East Runton beach is a short walk away. Hosting staff were really helpful.
Being located on the main road, the main windows look straight out onto passing traffic. A large, south-facing windows the property catches lots of sun, so it was very hot inside when we arrived. The springs in the bunk bed and sofa bed mattresses made them uncomfortable.

The location and facilities - particularly two ensuite bathrooms.
We didn’t like the damp bedroom- the smell of which invaded the whole property. Really poor mattresses on the bunk bed. If you arrive at a property and find a dehumidifier then you know already that the owners know that the property is running at a sub standard- we’d like a nights payment back.

The accommodation is in a lovely area and we had no worries with the noise from the road. It's well equipped in the kitchen and the space is nicely designed.
Unfortunately all of the beds were really uncomfortable. The accommodation is of course an affordable option in the area, however it's a real shame to not invest in the quality of the mattresses. We did not feel the stay was worth the price we paid, considering how bad the beds were. We also had some issues with not having correct remotes for the TV. Owners were responsive but feel issues could have been dealt with more efficiently.

Smelt of damp bunkbed and put you up mattresses very cheap and uncomfortable

Bungalow clean and well equipped Bed comfy Pub next door very quiet
Road noise. Very hot with windows closed but very noisy with them open. Fans good though No view as windows made opaque for privacy. Lack of or broken pavements.

Nothing
It was dirty . There was no ventilation in the shower which caused a high humidity levels and permanent stale air in the bungalow. The place smells musty. Not enough opening windows . Rooms were dirty. Beds were dirty . The sofa bed was filthy and the mattress on this bed was so bad , the springs were only held by thin fabric resulting in a very uncomfortable sleep . Bedding was dirty . We had too. The purifier had not been cleaned out for a very long Tina

It was decorated beautifully and was a cute little place to stay.
Perfect location, close to amenities, the beach and Cromer.
The sofa bed was a little uncomfortable. Perhaps a mattress topper could do the trick.

Good location, nice to have 2 x bathrooms plus a separate toilet
extremely hot inside by midday.
Very narrow path to navigate along a very busy road.

Spacious, clean. Good room set up for our grandchildren. three toilets a bonus!
Nice welcome gift, especially as we only stayed one night.
Double bed very comfortable and great ensuite. The shower room next to the bunks was also excellent. Nice touch with a night light in the bunk room.
Good communications although I misunderstood the bins. I thought they had been collected on Thursday. It turned out we should have put one out for Friday collection. We were up early enough to ensure it was collected.
Very bothered by the lack of bed and pillow protectors. Thin sheets straight onto a mattress, not in this day and age. Fortunately I brought waterproof bedding for our 3 and 5 year olds. Otherwise I would have worried silly about a possible rare accident even though my grandchildren don't usually wet the bed.
Cleaning was itemised at £132 so did not expect to have to strip the beds :-(
We do cook in holiday cottages and a couple more ovenproof dishes or trays would be nice. The grill pan looked clean but was very sticky and gunky.

Very nice place close to the beach at not to far from places nearby
Just no parking which can’t be helped so had to park at the beach car park which ended up being £11 for 14 hours

We found the property to be clean, modern and spacious. It was accessible and ideal for one of our relatives who is in a wheelchair. There is a handy grocery store nearby, a chip shop and pub and bus stops were very close. We liked the two
en suite bathrooms including a wet room. Complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits were much appreciated after a long journey. Easy access to Cromer by bus or car

Although the property is on the High Street and with a pub next door there was no disturbance at night and we had a lovely stay. The decor is really lovely and homely and the bathrooms excellent.
The Sofa Bed desperately needs a new mattress. The couple who stayed on this did not sleep due to the springs poking through (rather dangerous) and very uncomfortable. Other than that we had a very pleasant stay.

Location was perfect and the bungalow was everything we needed. It was well equipped and comfy. Would definitely stay there again.

clean, well equipped with all mod cons. Bed was lovely and comfy.
bedroom curtains are too small as they don’t meet when drawn and there is a street light right outside which shines through
8.0 / 10.0
It’s location in relation to the rest of the north coast of Norfolk. Situated on an excellent bus route.
The heating did not seem adequate for the size of the property, probably due to the amount of glass at the front of the property. This did improve throughout our stay as the temperature warmed up outside.

Good clean and well equipped kitchen.
Near to shop. Short walk to the beach.
Appreciated the welcome pack.
Advertised as West Runton (our preferred location) - but it is in East Runton.
Bunk bed very uncomfortable as mattress springs could be felt.
Chairs in lounge grubby and one had a visible tear.
Outside seating area not as advertised in photos: furniture piled up, dirty, fishing nets strewn on ground which was unswept, therefore not able to sit outside at the back.
Two drawers in main bedroom had previous occupier's possessions in them.
Overhead shower in second bedroom spurted water out at a right angle.
We made contact via emails during our stay regarding our concerns, but to date (having departed 5 days ago) none these have been addressed.

Great location and good that it was available when I was looking to book last minute. Lovely fish & chips near by. Great beach for dogs 5 minutes away and easy to walk to Cromer.
Absolutely fine as a base to explore the area for a weekend away but the living room furniture is very uncomfortable and with close proximity to road and lack of outside space we would have found it difficult to stay any longer.
9.0 / 10.0
The property is beautifully renovated and modern. The location is great for getting to the beach, the tiny shop across the road or the pub right next door.
It is right on the main road, stepping out the gate make sure you have a hold of your pet or children as the road can get very busy.

Location. Very modern and clean. Quieter than expected so close to the road.
Sofa bed isn’t useable for children or adults. The mattress is completely finished.

Perfect lay out. Kitchen was great. Comfort around was great. Very modern with everything you could possibly need. Info for the next people no need to worry about parking. All night car park 50 yards around the corner £8.50 a night. Nice area no issues what so ever.
We can't think of anything. It was great.

Lovely spacious property immaculately decorated and spotless. High quality fixtures and fittings and utensils...2 en suites very high quality and another touket too....excellent communication from the owners and in a brilliant position between Cromwr and Sheringham and a very short walk to the lovely quiet and clean beach at East Runton . Close to pubs and an excellent small shop and chip shop..car park very close and reasonably priced. The property is close to the road but this doesn't matter as there is no road noise and it has a small but nicely appointed outside area.. highly recommended and will be back again
Just a bit close to the road - but really not an issue

great location, very well designed and had everything we needed. So close to the beach - perfect accommodation. Parking nearby was easy and cheap, and fish & chips literally a minute walk away.
no parking outside the property - but wasn't really an issue.

Location good, well presented modern accommodation. Would suit a family, as there are three toilets, two showers and a bath. There is a well fitted kitchen with all the applications.
Cottage on a very busy road with a narrow footpath outside, had to check gate was closed when the dog was outside.

The property is beautifully furnished and the village is in a great location for the north Norfolk coast. it is well equipped for a small family and had everything we needed for a self catering stay. it’s a 5 minute walk from a lovely beach!
it’s on a major road and is very noisy with little outdoor space. bring earplugs and eye masks!
the cleaning is a little slack, lights are dusty etc. when we arrived the main bed wasn’t made up and the housekeeper arrived well after check in to finish making the bed which was awkward. the handbook said we’d receive fresh coffee from next door but this wasn’t too be found.
there is very little outdoors space for outdoor dining and would be on a busy road.
we didn’t find the living room furniture particularly comfortable.

Nice kitchen/ living area.
Comfy beds

Designer bathrooms
location
handy for pub / shop/ take away
Would definitely return
Thoughtfully decorated for Christmas
All good - just some constructive suggestions:
- better quality pillows would be good
- a little more attention to cleaning (dusty in places)
- curtain rails difficult to use
- more selection of drinking glasses
- we could not get terrestrial TV (?poor signal) but got most of what we wanted on steaming eg BBC i player
There is some road noise but quiet at night

Beautifully designed accommodation with good facilities. Two en-suite bathrooms and extra cloakroom great! Heating easy to control in each room.
Tricky to access property with a pram or load/unload car as direct onto road from frontage. No garden. This all made clear by hosts, however.
8.0 / 10.0
The apartment was very well appointed, clean and tidy. The dishwasher was a bonus, but unfortunately not enough cutlery to fill it up. The bathrooms were very pretty and functional.
The location had no a beach view, it overlooked the busy main road. It was not 150m from the beach, it was more about 400m. There was no hair dryer nor any shower gel. No wardrobe in any room. Nowhere to hang or put anything in the small bedroom just a bunkbed.

A spacious and stylish property.
Problems with keys at start quickly resolved. Bedroom curtains need help!

Top Lage (direkt an der Hauptstrasse, 3 Geh-Minuten vom Strand), sehr hübsches Bungalow, gut ausgestattet, 2 Badezimmer, 3 WCs, Babybett war wie gewünscht vorhanden. Gute Kochutensilien, Waschmaschine (ohne Trockner), dafür ein Wäscheständer vorhanden. Abfall direkt vor der Türe, alles verständlich erklärt.
Durch die Lage bedingt ist es sehr laut, vor allem bei geöffneten Fenstern ist der Verkehrslärm sehr laut, durch die benachbarten Pubs gibt es auch viel Fussverkehr. Wo wir da waren war das Apartment staubig, unter dem Bett wurde wohl schon länger nicht gesaugt.
