We loved the cottage and the location. The family was all together to celebrate an 80th birthday and we had a wonderful time. We loved having the animal sanctuary over the fence but were equally excited by the wildlife in the garden, rabbits, squirrels, jays, magpies, robin, blackbird, pheasant - even a neighbours escaped rabbit, but the icing on Read morethe cake was a very tame muntjac who visited daily. We bought him some peanuts. The location was great for exploring further afield. We did a lot of walking along the cliffs and the beach.

This was a reunion week for 4 brothers and their wives, all in our 70's. It was perfect! It was well equipped and in an excellent position for touring the coast by car, bus or train. The wildlife in the garden was a constant talking point.

Myself and my 5 friends absolutely loved Southway Cottage where we stayed last weekend, it is absolutely stunning, each room and space has been thoughtfully decorated and it was spotlessly clean. The grounds are gorgeous, we had a muntjac, pheasant and squirrels as resident wildlife. It was so peaceful so an excellent place to chill out if neededRead more. It is in such a good location for getting out and visiting local areas. We went to Sheringham and on the steam train to Holt which was great fun. We had dinner in the Village Inn in West Runton on Saturday, the staff were lovely and the food was very good, so would also recommend a visit there. We would absolutely recommend staying at Southway and if we are lucky enough, would love to come back ourselves. Hide

South Way is an absolute dream! We were two families of adults and children aged 7-14. This property has the WOW factor when you arrive. The garden is beautiful and much fun for children and adults alike. With the nature around all day long, its idyllic. The property is well set out, spacious, decor is lovely (everyday I noticed something differeRead morent) and I love there is a TV only in one room, where those who want TV can gather. Likewise, there is plenty of space for individual time. It is very well equipped, youd be hard pressed not to find what you needed in the kitchen. The welcome pack of local goodies was a lovely touch and very nice. Positioning of property is ideal, across the road to train station which takes you to Sheringham, Cromer or further afield to Norwich. West Runton itself has everything you need, pub, shop, tea room etc. Beach (partly with lifeguards) again ideal, rock pools, shallow sea, lovely sand, cafe (reasonably priced) and toilets. About 10/15 min walk. There is absolutely nothing to not be happy with at South Way. Also, the staff at Original Cottages are extremely friendly and helpful if required. Hide
