For a superb holiday for you and your family, look no further than The Shielings – a fabulous coastal retreat in the charming village of Sea Palling. From your front door, you can see the short footpath that takes you to the stunning golden beach. With its sandy bays and calm waters, it’s a firm favourite with families. In the village, you have a choice of welcoming cafes and pubs, as well as amusement arcades for traditional seaside fun. If you’re visiting in winter, a trip to see the seals at Horsey Gap (3.5 miles) is a must. From a viewing platform overlooking the beach, you can watch hundreds of basking grey seals and their pups. From Stalham (4 miles), you can hire a day boat to explore the Norfolk Broads, exploring 125 miles of lock-free waterways and enjoying the wildlife.

Everything has been thought of to make your stay enjoyable and relaxing in this fabulous family retreat. The ground floor has a well-quipped kitchen and whoever is tasked with cooking dinner for the evening will have all they could possibly need to create a hearty meal, whatever the occasion The dining table can comfortably seat more than eight guests, if required, as there are extra seats for you to use. The lounge has plenty of comfortable seating for all guests, a Smart TV ideal for streaming your preferred service and a wood burner, so cosy up of an evening whilst you relax and recharge your batteries before another day of coastal adventures ahead. The ground floor also has a convenient WC and a children’s play kitchen area with a door that leads outside. Upstairs there is a master bedroom with a double bed which shares a Jack-and-Jill shower room and WC with a twin room and finally, there is another king-size room which has a zip-and-link bed which can be arranged as a twin on request, depending on your preference. All bedrooms have ample storage space, a wall-mounted Smart TV and share a family bathroom with shower over bath and WC.

The property’s wow-factor continues outside with an enclosed garden and patio area. Garden furniture is provided for those who wish to enjoy some drinks in the sea breeze and for dining alfresco. You also have a 6-person hot tub with a bar (drinks not included) and games hut next door with a dart board and refrigerator to keep your drinks cool whilst you bubble away in the hot tub. There is a children’s playhouse in the back garden, so there’s plenty for children to enjoy, inside and out.
