"Convenient location for the beach and local amenities."
Clean and well-equipped. Very dog friendly and a fantastic welcome pack greeted us on arrival.

"Donny's Plaice is a perfect holiday home for access to the broads and the beaches."
The rear garden is ideal for dogs and the covered seating area is a nice addition for humans. Spacious main bedroom with a very comfy bed. The only reason it doesn't get a 10 is no dishwasher and no upstairs lavatory. ( I know these are clearly stated but regarding the loo, getting up at 4am and having to go downstairs for a wee was a bit of a challenge:-) ) Seriously, we loved it there and wouldn't hesitate to book again if we are in the area for a break.
Thankyou for your review it was a pleasure to meet you Property Owner

"Excellent property with very welcoming hosts."
Property has all facilities required and more. Safe for dogs and conveniently located. Dog walking easy due to proximity of beach and dunes. Roman Fort offers extensive grassed area for dogs too and is a very short drive away.

"A lovely house, immaculately clean on arrival."
It’s also a brilliant location as a base for exploring the whole area - walking distance from the beach, local amenities and good restaurants. The owners live just next door and are a really friendly couple and very helpful. We loved staying in the house and would definitely recommend.

"The accommodation was in a great location, very close to the beach and shops."
The accommodation is in a residential street so you have to aware of noise from other dogs/neighbours early morning. The beds were very comfortable, main bedroom bed is a little too long in design so is a squeeze to pass to the others side but a beautiful bed. The stairs are quiet steep but a rail both sides helps with this no problem. The accommodation is well equipped with a lovely welcome pack to start your holiday, Tesco is literally a 3 minute drive or a short walk up the road. We could of happily stayed another week, a lovely friendly area. A bonus having the owner next door who is available if you need anything.

"Lovely place, we were there only for 2 days but thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
The house had everything thing that we needed, very clean and tastefully decorated to an excellent standard. A nice touch with the welcome pack, something that we were not expecting so had a nice surprise when we got there, even our dog was well catered for. Thank you very much :-)

"We stayed at Donny’s Plaice 17th - 24th May."
This is the most dog friendly accommodation we have ever stayed in and it was spotless. The owners had thought of everything even a paddling pool set up for our dogs in the garden. The outside space is enclosed and private and the owner lives next door should you have any issues. We had a fantastic time it was our 1st visit and we will definitely be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thankyou for your review we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back sometime in the future Property Owner

"The property was lovely and clean on arrival."
Mandy was there to greet us (she lives next door) and was very accommodating throughout our stay. There was little welcome treats for both humans and dogs. The beds were lovely and comfortable. Would 100% recommend this place to family and friends We noticed that there was no bbq facilities at the property so you might want to take a small disposable one (if honoured by Mandy) if you want to do that one day?
Thankyou for your review I'm Happy you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back Property Owner

"We absolutely loved our stay here."
We are a family of 4, (with a young toddler) plus our doggy Bella. The facilities provided were great, including travel cot and high chair, both of which had been cleaned (something we have experienced that you don't get at other places, often!) The only downside we could possibly add, was that there was no grass in the garden (although we appreciate the maintenance would be a lot higher to keep grass!) It wasn't too much of an issue though, as we were nice and close to a dog walking beach :) Mandy was very hospitable and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay (was a very nice touch to have milk ready in the fridge when we arrived for a cuppa :) thank you!) Would definitely recommend, and would stay again.
Thankyou for you review. it was lovely to meet you. We look forward to welcoming you back sometime in the future Property Owner

"Gorgeous, homely, clean and tidy property."
Host Mandy was there to welcome and say goodbye, very friendly and helpful. There were lovely touches like milk, bread, butter, tea etc which were really appreciated after a long journey. Even the dog was catered for. Ideal location as a base to explore.

"Very clean and well maintained property."
Location was spot on for us, having to visit Hemsby and Gorleston. Great dog walking locations could not fault Donnys Place and the owner allowed us to leave later than 10 due to no bookings coming in on the back of our departure.
Thankyou for you review. We look forward to welcoming you back to Donny's Plaice some time in the future Property Owner

"We had a lovely week at Donny's Plaice."
The house is well furnished and has everything you need. Mandy and her partner were both very friendly, but not intrusive. There is a supermarket, various takeaways, pub, convenience store etc within a 5 minute walk, with the beach a further 5 minutes away. We'd happily return.

"Lovely modern accommodation equipped with everything we needed for our break away."

"The welcome items were extensive including dog treats!"
Mandy who lives next door was around to greet us and easily available. The property has only recently been prepared to a high standard. The shower although downstairs was extremely effective. Good heating provided. The courtyard is handy if weather good and very safe for a dog. Convenient for the dog friendly beach. Local pubs are very disappointing but better ones can be found by driving out of Caister.
Thank-you for you review we are happy you enjoyed your stay with us at Donny's Plaice and look forward to welcoming you back sometime in the future Property Owner

"We had a great 4 night stay, the place was decorated how we would have done, not tired or dated."
The shower had a lot of power which was great, the tv was a smart tv so we could catchup on our regular Netflix movies and programes. We used the bedroom at the front of the house which had a blackout blind as well as curtains which was a nice touch. It was like a home from home which is what we were after. The host Mandy is friendly and approchable which is always good. Parking is available off road for one car, but you could park elsewhere in the street if you had more than one vehicle. It is located close to Tescos which is a bonus and could be walked from the accomodation in less than 10 minutes. The high street with shops and take aways is less than 5 minutes walk away. I would recomend the Chinese take away, the food was really nice and not too greasey. Just past the shops is a round about where you turn right pass SuperFry chip shop and that will lead you to the beach car park. This is free at this time of the year which is a bonus. The dog friendly beach is easily walkable from the house. It's a sandy beach too which is great for children or dog walking. Great Yarmouth is around 10 minutes drive away, packed with shops, amusements and restaurants as well as a few piers & rides, Sealife, Model Village to name a few. So this accomodation is in a very good location and great for a base. We had a great time and celebrated our anniversary here and was not disapointed. Mandy also provide dog treats, milk and other items as a welcome pack which was very kind, not expected but welcomed. We had a great time and would return again.
Thank-you for your lovely feedback. I'm happy you enjoyed you your stay with us at Donny's Plaice. We look forward to welcoming you back sometime in the future and I'd like to Thank-you for leaving Donny's Plaice so clean Property Owner

"Great location for exploring Norfolk, Mandy quickly dealt with the couple of issues."
Myself & husband are in our late 50’s and found the stairs steep and we were grateful of the grab rail. Beds are comfortable (he snores lol). If an en-suite in the front bedroom was put in the closet that would be an added benefit. After busy days out, once hubby settled on the settee, there was only the tub chairs for me, not the best for relaxing in, a cuddle chair opposite the TV again would be an improvement. We missed having a fire at night time to make it feel cosy. The conservatory is beautiful but we felt the table was too big, a comfortable sofa & smaller table again would make better use of it. Outside, we moved the two single chairs to enjoy a coffee in the morning sunshine. Dog friendly, loved the flexible stair gate. Absolutely fabulous welcome gifts for us and the dogs. We were blessed with sunshine during the day and have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. Thank you.
I'm happy you enjoyed yourselves it was lovely meeting you. Thank you for the tips on ways to improve Donny's Plaice. You have given me something to work towards to improve the property. Kind regards Mandy x Property Owner

"The house was very nice and a good location."
The only slight issue was the building work all day next door which was obviously no fault of our hosts and couldn't be helped but was quite annoying at some points. The only other thing we felt the house could have benefited from would be more seating in the lounge. As there was only 3 of us it was OK but any more people and you wouldn't all be able to sit together in there. Apart from this, the house was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The welcome pack for both humans and dogs was a lovely touch. Hosts were extremely friendly and helpful
Thankyou for your review it was lovely to meet you and, we would love to welcome you back sometime in the future. Sorry about the building work next door they have neatly finished I have added another tub chair in the lounge Thankyou for the feedback Mandy Property Owner

"We had a wonderful week and wanted to thank you for being so kind and helpful."
We would definitely like to return in the future. We had such wonderful days out and the beds are so comfy, it was hard to get out of them. This is a wonderful property and well worth every penny. We had a lovely holiday and I’m sure you will too.
Thank you for your lovely review it was a pleasure to meet you all and we look forward to seeing you again. Aboo is missing his little friend x Property Owner

"The property was really lovely!"
Really clean and tidy throughout! It was just what we needed for our short stay away. It catered us well for all of us - 5 adults, 1 child and 2 dogs! Love that it is dog friendly! Close to canister beach which is also dog friendly! Would recommend to a friend :)
Thankyou for your lovely review I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay at Donny's Plaice, and would welcome you back Kind regards Mandy Property Owner

"Lovely owner who lives next door and unexpected welcome items for us which was great."
All Modern appliances with exception of dishwasher but understandable as no space for it. Fantastic shower and water pressure. Small but really lovely outside space with Gazebo. Only two downsides for us personally: The road that it was on was narrow and full on one side with parked cars. Even though slate area at front of property for parking it not always easy to manoeuvre. Also the toilet next to the shower has very little room and being overweight it was a very compacted area, but I do appreciate this may have been the only option for the owner. Overall a lovely place to stay
Thankyou for your review it was lovely to meet you. I have plans for the bathroom to see how I can improve it thankyou for positive feedback I'm pleased you enjoyed your stay at Donny's Plaice Best wishes Mandy Property Owner
