    “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.

About the location

CAISTER-ON-SEA

Settled on the east coast of Norfolk rests the seaside town of Caister-on-Sea, just north of Great Yarmouth. Famed as one of the oldest towns in the country, Caister-on-Sea boasts a history dating back to to the Roman times, taking its name from the Anglo-Saxon word 'ceaster' meaning 'Roman fort', in commemoration of the fort built in 200 CE as a base for Roman troops. Nowadays, the charming town is adorned with miles of glorious sandy beaches and plays host to local pubs, shops, restaurants and takeaways, offering all of the essentials to its visitors. Gearheads will be delighted with a visit to Caister Castle Car Collection, boasting a collection of over 200 veteran, vintage and classic cars and bikes, whilst the spa at the Old Hall Hotel adds a touch of luxury to any visit. Just a short drive away rests the popular seaside resort of Great Yarmouth, where you'll find a wealth of attractions to suit all ages, including a racecourse, the SEA LIFE centre, a handful of fascinating museums, the bustling Britannia Pier, and the Pleasure Beach, home to the last remaining wooden roller coaster in the UK. The historic docks of Lowestoft can be found slightly further afield, whilst thrills can be expected with a visit to Pleasurewood Hills theme park. The beautiful Norfolk Broads are within easy reach, where you can explore pretty villages, heritage houses, delightful gardens, river walks and boats trips.
