It’s not often we find a home with something for everyone but trust us when we say that this place is sure to delight even the most discerning guest. Overlooking sandy Mundesley Beach, this gorgeous Victorian property has ‘luxury’ written all over it, boasting a mind-boggling selection of amenities that’ll make you feel as though you’ve rented out an entire five-star hotel. There’s so much to keep you busy here that we wouldn’t blame you if you weren’t sure where to start. From the sitting room full of board games and DVDs to the private mini spa complete with sauna and six-seater hot tub, this place has everything you need for an unforgettable family reunion or weekend getaway with all your favourite people. Top up your tan in the sun-soaked garden, challenge little ones to a multiplayer game on the Playstation, or simply sit back and take in the view from your cosy king-size bed. Whatever your mood, this place has got you covered. If you fancy a change of scenery, you’re within easy reach of Cromer, one of Norfolk’s most famous seaside towns. Tuck into a hearty portion of fish and chips on the pier or grab a seat... at a local pub and treat yourself to a well-deserved pint before heading home for a cosy movie night. Popcorn, anyone?
