Vince
Lovely house, well decorated and presented in a perfect location - close enough to the town centre to allow us to walk in. Looked to have been refreshed since our last visit (2023) which new flooring and fresh paint. Very comfortable and easily accommodated 9 people - six adults and three grand children.
Jeremy
Excellent few days at a great location.
Christine
We had a pleasant week and the location is great but the sea view is limited especially at the moment with works taking place across the road. There are some issues that could be easily resolved to make this a really excellent place to stay.
Jane
This is a great family house, lots of space & everything we needed was available. Suitable for all ages & lovely garden area to sit in & relax .Easy access by bus or car to lots of places & a short walk into Cromer.
Sue
Well equipped and spacious extended family home a short walk from the beach and town. Our family of nine (3 generations) had a lovely holiday here, and despite appalling weather managed to get onto the beach and entertained ourselves in and around the town and a little further afield also at Bewilderwood and Norwich Hollywood Bowl. We managed to park two cars on the drive and the third round the corner easily. We would recommend this property to larger families holidaying together.
Alison
Quebec is in a good location - a short walk to the beach. We found the property ideal for a family weekend gathering .
Joy
A great location and lovely spacious house which is really well equipped. We didnâ??t have to use the car all week as everywhere was easy to walk to. This is an ideal house for a family holiday although a couple of the bedrooms are quite small and really only suitable for children. Lots of games and books provided plus a lovely garden.
