  • "This was our first stay at Newby and we were delighted with it."

    The bungalow is very comfortable, both the beds and also the furniture. The location is perfect too, easy to get around and not too rural. The owner was available if required but not intrusive. It has everything you need for a lovely holiday. The dog was welcome, there were bowls, towels and even a fleece for him and a jar of dog biscuits too. I would highly recommend it and am planning to book again for next spring.

    Thank you for your positive review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and glad you are planning to return in the spring. Property Owner

    Lovely quiet road not far from chip shop but not too near either. Take a torch at night no street light nearby. The petrol station had the cheapest petrol around. The property was clean and warm and great for our dog too. I would certainly return.

    It had everything we needed and was in a good spot for touring the areas around it. It was a shame that the bathroom did not have a bath, as this made it difficult with a two year old! The shop/garage in the village can get very busy, but the ASDA store just outside Kings Lynn is not bad and you can get fuel. We visited the Walks in Kings Lynn. It is a wonderful park. Great for walking dogs and with a brilliant children's play area (different areas for different areas). Hillside Shire Horse Sanctuary at West Runton is fabulous. There are lots of different animals: goats, llamas, pigs, sheep, geese etc. Currently it's free to enter, but any donations help to care for the animals. We also managed to pay a visit to The Worlds Circus. They travel over Lincolnshire and Norfolk, and have deals on prices. It was really, really good and well worth the money. Some of the acts were truly amazing. There was a problem with the smoke detectors going off early in the morning. As they were hard wired, the owner came straightaway to deal with the problem. We would definitely return, and recommend the bungalow.

Phoned the owner immediately who came round quickly but couldn't get the boiler working. She supplied a convector heater for the bedroom and the living room had an additional flame effect blow out fire. An engineer inspected the boiler on Monday 15th and identified it needed a new part which was sourced and fixed but not until Thursday 18th. Myself and wife are well in our 60's and in addition my wife is disabled. We found it particularly cold in the mornings and evenings in the kitchen and bathroom and it did honestly affect the enjoyment of our holiday. Although the owner did try to help and kept in regular contact the lack of total heating for 4/5 days was not good. I feel a level of financial compensation would be appropriate for the inconvenience we suffered. Please advise.

Just after arriving the owner Catherine came to welcome us personally - what a lovely gesture! We really enjoyed our stay at Newby, Gayton and found its' location so convenient for the nearest town Kings Lynn and the A149 Coastal Road up to the Northern Nature Reserves.

The property

This lovely detached bungalow is situated in the small Norfolk village of Gayton, just seven miles from the historic town of King’s Lynn.

Conveniently placed for exploring the North Norfolk coast, this bungalow provides excellent accommodation for couples and families alike.

This spacious bungalow has a cosy sitting room with a dining area and an electric fire, the ideal space to enjoy a family meal which has been prepared in the well-equipped kitchen.

There are also two well-appointed bedrooms, one with a delightful king-size bed and the other with a double.

The enclosed rear garden is the perfect place for contemplating how you might spend the day, or to just relax with a glass of something cool in hand as the children and the dog play in safety.

A few minutes' walk brings you to the village pub and shops, whilst the historic market town of King's Lynn, just a short drive away, offers excellent amenities with its wide range of shops, restaurants and pubs, set along the cobbled streets.

Within easy reach are many attractions, including the Royal Sandringham Estate, just six miles away, Castle Acre and the local manor houses including Houghton hall and Holkham Hall.

Cyclists will love Norfolk Coast Cycleway, or perhaps spend a day beside the sea at the popular coastal resort of Hunstanton, or one of the many other Norfolk coastal towns including Wells-next-the-Sea or Holkham.

Nature lovers will also delight in the extensive wildlife on offer in Norfolk, particularly the RSPB reserves to be found near the coast.

This centrally-located bungalow is a lovely base for exploring all that Norfolk has to offer.

About the location

GAYTON

King's Lynn 7 miles; Swaffham 10 miles.

The small Norfolk village of Gayton is surrounded by charming, open countryside, and yet is within easy reach of the coast, offering two shops, a fish and chip shop and a pub, and host to a prominent historic windmill. Gayton lies seven miles to the east of the popular market town of King’s Lynn, which still retains the character, charm and many traditional buildings of its original function as a medieval port, set along its winding streets. With a mixture of old and new structures, King’s Lynn provides excellent amenities including a modern shopping centre, art galleries, museums, two theatres and its iconic Customs House. From Gayton, the North Norfolk Coast is within easy reach and will appeal to many, with its expansive golden sandy beaches, coastal walks and cycleways, RSPB reserves and nearby Sandringham House and Estate, Oxburgh Hall and Houghton Hall.
