• "A wonderful little holiday home, warm, very clean, WiFi, great setting, short walk to the beach (1 minute from the door)."

  We loved Sea Urchin, so did Ivy, our springer spaniel dog, who didn’t want to leave! All the cutlery, crockery and glasses were perfectly clean, always a good sign. Eccles on Sea is a great, eclectic place and blessed with a beautiful coast line. Our host Robert keep us very informed from the day we booked and even after our holiday, very polite and personable, he meeted and greeted us, showed us around the place and talked through how everything worked and told us the best place to see seals. We had the best time, sea air, sand, fish n chips, grey seals ( my highlight) and a worn out dog, a first! Hope to return next year.

  Thank you so very, much for you wonderful feedback. I’m so grateful to you for taking the time to leave this for us. I do my best to ensure Sea Urchin is clean, warm and welcoming for all our guests. I really do care about our guests and do the best I can to ensure a great holiday can be enjoyed at Sea Urchin. I do my best to check the crockery and cutlery is clean and ready for all guests as part of my normal routine. I’m glad it was noticed ! So pleased you enjoyed the location especially Ivy ! I’m sure she would love to return. Thank you for your kind words about me personally too. I hope you’re able to come back and stay again as we’d love to have you all back. Thanks so much for staying at Sea Urchin. Robert. Property Owner

• "Sea Urchin is a delightful seaside cottage on the beautiful Norfolk Jurassic coastline."

  Robert has thought of everything and its spotlessly clean, refurbed to great standard, cosy and welcoming -even down to him ensuring that its heated upon arrival on an Autumn afternoon. The garden is secure and has a side gate where you can take the dunes pathway and be on the beach within 1 minute. The beach is incredibly clean and beautiful. Sea Palling to the right and Happisburgh to the left. I highly recommend The Star in Lessingham for a huge delicious Sunday lunch although pre-booking is a must. The Barn at Waxham is lovely for snacks, hot drinks and scones. Loved Sea Urchin and its incredible location so much that I’ve booked another week in the new year! And if there was a customer service Champion award for seaside accommodation the top prize would go to Robert. Thank you

  Thank you so much for this utterly amazing feedback. Thank you also for the lovely review in our guest book too. It makes me so happy when someone staying has the best time. Thank you also for booking to come and stay again with us before you’d even gone home. That’s high praise indeed ! You left Sea Urchin spotless for us for which I’m always grateful. I’m always slightly embarrassed when I get a personal mention but my heart glows with pride and makes me feel so proud that I’ve given someone a good holiday and they’ve felt welcome and at home. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you just isn’t enough. Robert. Property Owner

• "Sea Urchin was immaculately presented and spotlessly clean."

  In fact it gets my prize for the cleanest oven we have ever had in a holiday cottage. The owner met us on arrival and explained the facilities and reminded us to get in touch with him if we had any queries. A lovely well thought out holiday home, very close to the beach and close to lots of places we intended to visit.

  High praise indeed !!! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. It means so much to me when we get wonderful feedback like yours. It makes the hours of cleaning etc I spend getting Sea Urchin ready between guests worth it. It’s important to me that our guests enjoy their stay and know we’re only a phone call away should they have a question. I’m so glad you both had a wonderful stay with us.

• "Robert was a great host messaging us a few days before our arrival with directions to the property and letting us know we could get in early."

  The property had everything you need with milk,teas,coffee and sugar when you arrive. Robert was there to meet us and show us where everything was. The property had everything you need including dog food and water bowls and a dog towel.The beach only a few yards away. The weather was good but at night turned a bit chilly but the heating soon warmed us when we turn it up.We had not visited the area for about 10 years and it was great to revisit some lovely places. With good food outlet a few miles away and plenty of dog friendly places to eat. We can throughly recommend this as a place to stay. We have used Skyes holiday cottages many times and found them all to a very high standard and already planning the next break with them

  What can I say, but thank you so much for your fantastic review ! It means the world to me/us. Thank you for your kind words about me. I like me to ensure I personally contact everyone that’s coming to stay with us because to me it’s personal and I care about the people coming to stay with us and always hope they enjoy their stay at Sea Urchin .

Thank you for leaving a review in our guest book we really appreciate it. It’s always nice to read what people have done. I was so glad you were able to revisit old memories and make new ones.

• "Firstly, before we even arrived, Robert was an excellent host."

  A text a few days before, and an email with detailed directions meant we didn’t take one wrong turn - amazing for us! When we arrived, Robert was there to greet us, showed us where everything was and how to use the heating, should we have needed it. Absolutely everything was catered for, we had everything we needed except food, even ingredients for the first tea/coffee were provided. Onto Sea Urchin itself … spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, a fab shower and just a beautiful ambience. If you have the windows open you can fall asleep to the sound of the sea. The only downside was our holiday ended! We would 100% return, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sea Urchin. Thank you for a smashing holiday x

  Wow and wow ! What an amazing review thank you so much. We are so very grateful for this heart felt review, myself especially! I’m so glad my emailed directions were so useful ! I do ensure I send them to everyone to try and take some worry and stress out of their journey. It’s important to me to ensure anyone that stays at Sea Urchin feels happy and confident in how to use something and where to find it. Plus we’re always at the end of the phone should any assistance be required. Everyone that stays with us matters too us and we do genuinely care about people having a great stay. Thank you also for leaving Sea Urchin so spotless and clean for me too and it’s truly appreciated. It makes my job easier to get it cleaned and ready for the next guests too. We really hope you’d consider coming to stay with us again! We would love to have you back. Many ,many thanks Robert. Property Owner

• "We have just returned from a lovely week at Sea Urchin."

  We were met on arrival by Robert who explained how everything worked which was very helpful. Everything was very clean and tidy. There is a lovely patio area and table out the front which catches the sun in the afternoon where we sat whilst the dogs were drying off after using the shower area at the side of the house. Big plus side to this property is that you feel like the beach and ocean are in your back garden, perfect!

  Thank you for your very kind feedback. I know you said at the time how much you appreciated me being there and explaining how things worked. It’s important to me that our guests feel welcome and at home with nothing to worry about apart from enjoying their holiday.

  Robert was the perfect host from the start, went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. Nicely decorated throughout to a high standard. Everything you would need was there. A cosy homely feel to the place. Decent size front garden. Very quiet location, locals very friendly. Beach 2 minutes walk from property. Due to high tides we used another local beach in Sea Palling. Highly recommend staying here. We didn't want to leave. Thank you Robert for such a lovely stay. Looking forward to visiting again.

Lots of modern features that made the holiday even better for us - air fryer, good WiFi, TVs in every room, Hive heating etc. There isn't much nearby but supermarkets will deliver groceries and we loved the peace and quiet - despite being the school holidays we had the beach to ourselves almost every day!
