    “Back again for another stay at Sea Urchin.”

    First up, Robert is a lovely gentleman who meets you with the keys and all instructions, he makes you feel so welcome. Sea Urchin is very clean, cosy and welcoming - a home from home! The location is perfect! On the beach in under 1 minute and it’s so pretty, the locals are friendly and the way of life takes me back a good 20 years. There’s lots to see and do in the area too, a little tip; if wanting to visit a restaurant or cafe at this time of the year do ring ahead to check they’re open ...

There’s lots to see and do in the area too, a little tip; if wanting to visit a restaurant or cafe at this time of the year do ring ahead to check they’re open first. For Sunday lunch bookings also ring a few days ahead. Otherwise there’s a lovely farm shop at Boundary Farm approx 3.5 miles and a supermarket approx 5 miles. I can’t wait to go back to Sea Urchin! Thank you Robert once again, you are the perfect host with impeccable manners, and for being flexible with times too.

    Thank you so very, very much for this utterly amazing feedback. Thank you for the very kind words about myself but more importantly thank you for your wonderful words about Sea Urchin. I/we are so very pleased you’ve now enjoyed Sea Urchin twice in the last few months and found it all you’ve hoped it would be. A haven of peace and escapism from a hectic life. I look forward so very much to welcoming you and your furry friends back later in the year. I am grateful to you for taking the time to leave your feedback and I hope it will inspire others to come and stay at Sea Urchin. Thank you so very much, Robert. Property Owner

SEA PALLING

North Walsham 12 miles;

Sea Palling is a beautiful coastal village conveniently located equidistantly between Great Yarmouth, Cromer and Norwich. It is a perfect base for exploring both the stunning Norfolk Coast and the tranquillity of the Norfolk Broads. The award-winning Blue Flag beach offers excellent sheltered swimming and watersports, with the beach having the advantage of RNLI lifeguards on duty every day, as well as being home to its very own lifeboat. The village is well served with cafes, a pub, amusement arcade, Post Office and general store. The regular bus service is ideal for exploring the surrounding villages or hire a bike at nearby Waxham Barns and take advantage of the quiet and flat country lanes. The immediate area hosts fantastic coastal walking and is well known for its colony of grey seals, which can be seen relaxing on the beaches of Sea Palling, Waxham and Horsey. If you are interested in more nature, Hickling Nature Reserve is only a few miles away, and for those wanting something a little livelier, the historic city of Norwich is less than half an hour by car. For discovering The Broads, boat hire is found locally at Stalham Strait, Potter Heigham and within the picturesque broads town of Wroxham, all within 15 minutes' drive.
