This is the second year that we have been to Smugglers Lookout in October half term. We like it so much that we have already booked for next year. The overriding thing for us is the location, literally 1 min from the sandy beach where you can enjoy family time, dog walking and fishing. High up on the cliff top and a short walk into town. The cliff top walks and closeness to the sea. Mundesley itself is quaint, much quieter than Sheringham or Cromer but with a lovely homely feel. Great butchers, fish stalls, little cafes, skate park, golf course and Post Office, greengrocers and actually everything you could want. A fantastic fish and chip shop. Close enough to be able to go around the coast to other places. The locals are very friendly and the owners are lovely, extremely helpful and very obliging. The cottage itself sleeps 7, 6 adults and a child. The smaller child's bed is in the large bedroom which also has a sink. The other large bedroom has a shower cubicle, not as efficient as the main one but perfectly adequate. The bathroom has a jacuzzi bath and powerful over the bath shower. Separate upstairs toilet which is always useful. The heating system is brilliant as is the abundance of hot water. The cottage is large with a big kitchen with every utensil and pot you can think of and much more crockery than is needed for 7 people. A great side porch for all coats and boots. The living room/ dining room is large with 2 open fires and this cottage really is spacious for 7 people. Outside there is a good amount of space with a lovely side garden. Parking for 3 cars, one inside and 2 on the drive. We have 2 large cars. The only downside for us is still the sofas, whilst they are different from the photos and larger than the ones in the photos they are really low and for us uncomfortable especially for the older family members we have. For us if these were changed then we would give this cottage a 10. We actually took 2 fold up chairs to get over the issue. This however didn't spoil our week and we just love it there, our grandchildren absolutely love Smugglers Lookout and once again our granddaughter celebrated her birthday whilst we were there. For anyone this is a fantastic seaside experience in a great cottage.

Lovely cosy and warm cottage to stay in , lovely views of the sea , very spacious, the only small complaint was the lighting in the lounge wasn’t Adequate for doing jigsaws and knitting at night!

A beautiful house with all the modern amenities whilst retaining the character of an 18th century build . Superb location so close to the sea. Everything you need for a very comfortable stay .

Our family had such a great time in Norfolk, and the Smugglers Lookout was the perfect base. A home away from home!
