  • "Really could do with a washing machine in outbuilding"

  • "It was a pleasant property to stay in."

    Close to the sea and amenities. Very quiet.

    Reviewed by Sandra5.0Sep 2024

  • "Comfortable property with everything needed for your stay."

    Bathroom excellent but a proper holder for toilet roll would be an improvement. Car park at rear of property was noisy at times. We enjoyed our stay and was pleased with our choice.

  • "The proprietor was extremely helpful as we wanted to bring our bikes,we was given a secure place to store them."

    The property is located in a very central position near to the supermarket,shops pubs etc! I would definitely recommend staying here.

  • "Lovely place, except we didn’t like that there was nowhere to dry the towels after using them, although the picture of the cottage showed there was an outside ‘whirly rotator’."

    One very minor criticism is toilet roll holder meant the paper was dragging on the tiled floor and if wet from tiled floor it would have been unusable!

  • "The beds were comfortable and there was an excellent shower in bathroom."

    The kitchen was well equipped but the place had an odd layout. There was no chest of drawers or wardrobe in the double room. A chest of drawers was situated in the living area and also a hanging rail provided which was at the opposite side of the main room. A bit noisy at times from the adjacent mobile home site and it's gravel car park. Would recommend curtains at the windows as well as blinds to give more privacy. The wi-fi was intermittent and very little phone signal in that part of Hunstanton

  • "A good location bright airy living space."

    Large bathroom good walk in shower which suited our needs with an 86 year old relative who has limited mobility. Good kitchen facilities. However the bedrooms were small and the double lacked storage for clothes. Compared with other let’s we have visited communication with the owner was business like and minimal. There was no information in the premises.

  • "Stayed for a week on my own as I was photographing the Norfolk coast from Snettisham to Cromer."

    Hideaways would be fine for 4 people and luxury for one! The place was spotless when I arrived, was easy to clean on departure and cosy and comfortable. I slept in the double which suited me perfectly, in fact I slept better than at home. Parking was very close to the home making unloading easy and being off road it was very quiet. Two very slight niggles which didn't detract from the 5-star review. Occasionally the internet was slow and I couldn't find the router to reboot it to see if that helped. But it was manageable. And none of the knives were very sharp with no means of sharpening them. I always think blunt knives are more dangerous than sharp ones and are a bit obsessive about this at home, so probably my problem. Overall, it was a really good place to stay and would unhesitatingly return..

  • "A fantastic property, great location, everything within walking distance which includes the lovely town of Hunstanton, fab fish and chip shop, Tesco, a pub, fun fair, sea life centre, there is also a boat called the Wash Monster which do tours to see the seals."

    However it’s worth bearing in mind you need to book and the last tour due to the tide is around the 25th October. Just up from there is a fab cafe called the Hunstanton Ski cafe and bar and they do an amazing full English breakfast. Everything is within a 20 minute walk at the most. 5d Hideaway is a modern property, spacious, with everything you could need and the beds are very comfortable. This was our second stay in 5d, as we have 2 young children it’s just perfect for us. We will book to go back again next year.

  • "The cottage itself was ok but we did feel that there were a few issues."

    Firstly, there are absolutely no instructions at the place, including WiFi access. You are left to work out everything for yourself. Even a nice welcome note would be pleasant. There are no details of local attractions/places to visit etc which would have been nice.. just a simple folder with some useful local info. The shower does not evacuate properly and you end up standing in 2 inches of dirty water when showering. There are hardly any basic essentials there to make life easier on arrival- no foil or clingfilm to start you off or even a pint of milk for that first cup of tea which would cost nothing really but make you feel more welcome. All there was were 3 dishwasher tablets, a sponge and some washing up liquid which seems quite stingy given the cost of the place.

The location was ideal being just a few minutes walk to the promenade into town. A Tesco supermarket just a few minutes away also. The only problem we encountered was the fact that there is no hanging space in the double bedroom. Luckily, we anticipated this due to previous reviews and took a small clothes rail with us.
