We had a lovely comfortable family holiday in Cumfus Bottom. The kitchen was fantastic, with ample crockery, cutlery & cooking utensils. It was great to be so close to the marshes and the beach, the village shop was brilliant, the pub food was very good, and the football field behind the church was a hit with the kids. Thankyou!

Lovely holiday had by all family members from 18 months to 81 years.
Judith
Cumfus Bottom was absolutely perfect for our stay. Its extremely well equipped and it was lovely to arrive to a warm cosy house with a nice welcome pack. The accommodation is very flexible and there is lots of room; the kitchen was particularly nice with the cosy Aga. The owners seem to have thought of anything one might need even down to a picnic blanket! I would definitely recommend this to my friends.
David
A great property, easy walking distance to the coast and the pub! A fabulous base for our group of 8 over New Year, spacious and homely. Fully equipped, and we all loved the AGA, instant heat on those cold winter days. Plenty of great walking from your doorstep, and the slightly larger towns only a short drive away.
Ruth
We have stayed twice now in winter for multi-generation family get togethers, and found it ideal. There is plenty of warm, comfortable space for everybody, and it very well equipped making it an excellent home fom home. The house is arranged round a square central courtyard, and the children loved running round the corridors - perfect for hide and seek! The location is lovely with the local shop and access to the beach and marshes just a few yards down the road.
