Piers, Mandy and David - Northamptonshire - 9th August 2014
  • "Last year, the Seaview Beach House, this year the Bacton Beach House. We couldn`t be any closer to the sea!

We have been pretty unlucky with the weather, high winds, grey skies and quite cold for most of the week, but we did see two mornings of sunshine and spent them on Mundesley beach which is delightful. Also been to Bewilderwood, Sea Life in Great Yarmouth, Thrigby Hall & Gardens and Dinosaur adventure, all of these were great days out, lots of fun. The Swimming pool round the corner for private hire per hour is great on a wet windy afternoon." Katie, Rob and Alice Mawer - Yorkshire - 5th-12th July 2014
  • "The Beach House has a fantastic location, beds wonderfully comfortable, weather (25-28 degrees) every day, just fantastic. Will definitely come again. "Beware" The Poacher's Pocket - absolutely disgusting, do not under any circumstances go. Some wonderful places to visit - Holt - a gem, if you get the chance try the Folly for lunch or a perfect afternoon tea. The White Horse at Holme by Sea is well worth the journey for a great pub lunch in a small village by the sea, and for great food and a wonderful location - you cannot beat The Swan at Horning. Hope you all have as great a time as us (smiley face)." The Hills - Durham City - 28th June-5th July 2014
  • "The Beach House is stunning with it's light open plan layout and wonderful outdoor area with panoramic views of the sea. Lots to do locally and enjoyed a trip on the Steam train (Holt-Sheringham) and a cruise on the broads (Wroxham). The children loved `Bewilderwood` too. A glorious sunny week capped it off. Don`t want to leave......... Will bring my fishing kit next time!.........." Paul, Anna, Scarlett and Arthur - Gorton on the Wolds, East Yorkshire - 7-14th June 2014

  • "When we drove up to Bacton Beach House, we had a great big smile on our faces, and that stayed with us all week! We were very lucky with the weather for our first couple of days - lovely sunrises! And then witnessed the wild coastal winds - both were great to watch. Visited Poachers Pocket for fine pub grub. Nearby Cromer is fun for arcades and a walk on the Pier. Storms stopped us from seal spotting but instead we enjoyed a day trip to Holt and Cley and had a lovely time. We were recommended by a friend and will be sure to recommend to others. Thank you for sharing Bacton with us - we`ll be back! So struck by how friendly people were in Bacton and beyond."
