We had a fabulous 3 night stay at Blue Boat Cottage. From initial booking enquiry, to check in, Lesley was helpful, informative and accommodating.The cottage is perfect - with everything you would need, and a great secure outdoor space for our precious furry family.The beach hut option was an added bonus, and the beach itself is amazing! I would definitely recommend - and will be returning!
THE PROPERTY IS EXCELLENT IN EVERY WAY,LESLEY MET US WHEN WE ARRIVED AND LEFT US A VERY NICE WELCOME PACK,THE COTTAGE IS FIRST CLASS AND SUPPLIES EVERY THING YOU NEED FOR A GOOD HOLIDAY,
Lesley’ communications were excellent from start to finish. The property was well equipped and immaculately clean. The welcome pack was brilliant and very much appreciated. The beds were very comfortable and the property had an easy to use efficient heating. Overall a very highly recommended property.
Fantastic accommodation for grandparents and grandson. Nothing wanting. Nearby shop and around 15 minute walk to beach. The use of beachhut is well worth the spend. We loved it ❤️

We had a lovely stay over Easter at Blue Boat Cottage. Lesley, the host was great. Great communication throughout. A lovely welcome gift basket of goodies on arrival and some milk in the fridge. A nice touch. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds and nicely decorated throughout. Dog friendly with secure garden. Everything you needed. Near to beach and high street. Highly recommended cottage. Thanks Lesley.
The accommodation is light, airy, modern and just right for a sea-side stay. Everything is really clean - it's immaculate. There's everything you could need whether for cooking, games, watching TV (in both bedrooms as well as lounge area), plenty of storage space, lovely bathroom (with a large shower that you can move about in!), comfy beds. The welcome basket was a treat and the owner is very welcoming and helpful. A beautiful and comfortable place to come back to and enjoy after days out and we recommend it without any reservation.
What a little gem.... lovely stay, great location to high street and beach. We love the beach and the surrounding walks. Will definately return. Very clean, beautifully finished, little extras that make it extra special. Lesley was a joy to speak to with and very clear instructions. Met us at property and cjecked whilst staying everything was ok. Thank you.
We have an annual mum and daughters, plus dogs, getaway every year, but usually in the Spring, so choosing Norfolk in November, would be a little different, but this time we had my 4 year old granddaughter with us.
I chose this particular stay as we wanted somewhere that wasn't too far from anything, but also being near to a beach, which is great for dogs and kids, regardless of the weather and that is exactly what we got.
Blue Boat cottage itself was the perfect place to stay. Cosy and clean and with everything we could have asked for and more. The garden being mostly paving and pebbles was ideal having a dog along with us and I can imaging sitting outdoors, in the better weather, with a few drinks.
Lesley, the owner, was so welcoming and communicated well in advance of our stay, especially when I needed a few changes made to the booking, like adding a child and a dog etc. A lovely touch on arrival was to find a basket, with dog treats, crisps, bread and biscuits as well as a bottle of milk in the fridge. This was a pleasant surprise as we were all ready for a cuppa when we arrived after a four hour journey, and we didn't have to nip to the shop first.
Everything is so nearby, a big CoOp that sells everything and then some lovely little shops, cafe's, takeaways etc along the way to the beach which was only a 10 minute walk.
We are already planning to return next Spring/Summer and I would highly recommend to anyone, as it suits all ages, including four legged friends
Lovely and clean bungalow, has everything you need and more, lovely quiet location with a 10 minute walk to beach. Lesley was a lovely host and can’t fault anything. My family and poppy the dog will definitely be returning next year for a chill out getaway xxx
Lovely property everything you need, very clean and accomodating. Lesley very welcoming and great welcome pack on arival milk,biscuits,plum loaf and dig treats to name a few bits. Very dog friendly good enclosed garden for them, and only a short walk away from the long sandy beach which the dogs and us enjoyed walking. Shops and eateries not far from bungalow. Loved our weekend away.
Booking via Verbo was very easy and communication with the host was faultless. The cottage was spotlessly clean, with a lovely welcome pack. The accommodation was peaceful and quiet and in a lovely friendly neighbourhood.
The bed was so comfortable! We wanted to relax and unwind and that is exactly what we did. The host advised us of some of the (many) dog friendly eateries in the area.
Thank you Lesley for a wonderful stay, I am sure that we will be back!
My husband and I, sister and brother in law and our 1 year old shepherd have just returned from this beautiful property.
Lesley the owner, really has thought of everything and it was like being home from home.
We were made to feel really welcome, communication was great and the property was spotless.
Very short walk to the beach where you can find nice places to eat and no trouble having a dog in tow as very dog friendly.
Would not hesitate in recommending this property to anybody and really look forward to returning.
Thanks for everything Lesley.

We rented this property for a long weekend in November. We took our puppy with us. Lesley met us at the property for check in and explained where everything was. Blue boat cottage has everything you could need including a washing machine and an enclosed secure back garden with garden furniture. Lesley also left us a lovely welcome basket which included treats for our puppy. The place was spotless and Lesley was very welcoming. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach and supermarket. We will definitely be booking here again.
