With its spectacular cliff-top location, this romantic hideaway in Walcott offers uninterrupted sea views at every turn. Stroll hand in hand along the beach (0.5 miles), check out the Thursday market in the historic market town of North Walsham (6 miles), or hire a boat in Wroxham (12 miles) and spend a romantic day cruising the wonderful waterways of the Broads National Park. Hike up to the oldest working lighthouse on the Norfolk coast at Happisburgh (2 miles), try your hand at archery in Beeston Regis (17.5 miles) or browse the impressive artworks on display at Wroxham Barns (10.5 miles).

Surround yourself with seclusion and seaside vistas at this perfect bungalow for two. Step inside and you’ll find an attractively furnished lounge/diner with ample space for relaxing and dining together. This bright, welcoming room, with its Smart TV and radio and CD player, is the perfect place to unwind with a cup of tea. Make yourself at home and head to the stylish kitchen, where you’ll find everything you need – an electric cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave and washer/dryer – to rustle up romantic meals for two during your stay. Enjoy an intimate meal at the table in the dining area, or head to the light-filled conservatory to dine. Serve dinner at the bistro table and enjoy the view of the garden through the French doors. After dinner, curl up on a sofa in the lounge and watch your favourite rom-com as you warm your toes by the wood burner-effect electric fire. When it’s time for bed, there’s a beautiful king-size bedroom to retire to. Completing the layout, you’ll find a small study/library and a smart bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC.

Outside, you’ll find a neat lawned area to the front of the property, as well as a lovely enclosed ‘seaside’ garden to the rear. The rear garden is shingle and includes a patio with garden furniture – the perfect place to soak up some sea views while you enjoy an al fresco dinner.

Lovely feel and location. Very cosy during challenging weather conditions. Ignore references to WiFi and smart tv - the broadband connection was not working during our stay. As mentioned by other reviewers a general refresh would work wonders.

We loved our stay at Seashells. The cottage was just what I had envisaged. It is perfect for people with dogs or couples who want a bit of peace and quiet. It was beautifully decorated with a seaside theme and had all the equipment we wanted.

We had a fab week at Seashells. The views of the sea from the sofa and bedroom are sensational, and the property is wrapped round with lovely views on all sides. A short walk to the dog friendly beach, beautiful sand and large empty spaces. We visited the Lighthouse pub a few times for food. Great food and prices and very dog friendly. BeautifullyRead more quiet and relaxing. Hide

Stated electric log effect fire but just central heating. Excellent location, outlook to sea or fields at almost every outlook. Ideal location for walks and beaches. Was disappointed that there was no baking trays to use in the oven when it is a self catering cottage. Overall cleanliness not too bad but oven was quite grimy and also drawers in bedrRead moreoom were not very clean, the left hand side bedside cabinet looked like crumbs in and the drawer with hairdryer had all loose hairs in. Generally a very comfy and compact property but the pipe from the bath leaked into conservatory , so mop and bucket required frequently. Because of location and Seaview expected to pay a higher price but felt it was lacking a few pieces of equipment or features. We book with holiday cottages.com regularly which I believe you are amalgamating with, and have generally been happy with service. The only clause we don't like is that both cottages booked with original cottages is that we have had to pay a non refundable damage fee. We are a 56 and 66 year old couple who aren't going to be wrecking properties. Whereas with holiday cottages this is optional. The above re the cottage are not criticisms and we had a fantastic week but we did leave comments in the guest book too. Hide

Property in lovely situation, warm and clean. Lovely view. Needs a bit of tic though, Bathroom needs a fixed mirror, really difficult to see in tiny shaving mirror. No towel rail just hook on back of door. Mirror in bedroom not located anywhere near a power point, impossible to see to dry/style hair. No hooks to hang wet outdoor coats. ConseRead morervatory in poor condition, roof patched badly, windowsill fixed with sticky tape. Smoke alarm fixed with sticky tape? does it work properly in this condition. Bathroom door lock fixed sticky tape, table top in conservatory held on with sticky tape. Gutter fixed sticky tape. It is a real pity that the owner seems to be so penny pinching when it comes to maintaining this property as it could be lovely. Kitchen and bathroom flooring not stuck down around edges and thresholds, could be a real trip hazard. Bathroom hot tap leaks all the time and really difficult to turn off fully. Overall if mirror situation was rectified and repairs done not just taped, floor glued down, this would be excellent but could not recommend. Hide
