“We all had the most amazing time, from the min we opened the door & saw how clean & spacious it was then to see the huge bed which looks brand new, was brilliant.”

Absolutely everything you could want it provided.

Absolutely everything you could want it provided. ( I always take fairy lights to light up garden to see where dogs ‘go’ but these weren’t needed as there’s 2 lots of outside lights )We stay in cottages a lot with our dogs & this is one of the best. The weather was wonderful too ( again we always pack for the worst weather but big coats weren’t needed ) The beaches are walkable however a cut through across the road then through the cemetery leads to a decent size Tesco with friendly staff & a bus stop so you can get one to Old Hunstanton which is fab with Le Strange arms hotel / bar that do a brill 2 courses for £15 , have to sit outside with dogs is only downside but again staff were brill & made sure our plates were really hot. You can then walk through to the most stunning beach & it goes on for miles & miles. I saw a few negative comments re the grass not being cut, I’d say , have a look in the little shed & do it if it bothers you that much, (we stay in cottages because it’s like being at home as opposed to a hotel , & things always need doing in a home ) Also we never saw any rats & our 2 dogs would have searched them out ! I wish I could post photos as we were lucky enough to see the northern lights & of course the wonderful red cliffs . A final mention to Lou who was brill, a welcome message to say it was ready early was great & she was available for any help . Literally can’t wait to come to come back ( love Hunstanton if you couldn’t tell ! )

- Georgina, October 2024

Wow! Thank you so much Georgina for your detailed and fabulous review of Honeybees Haven. It really means a lot that everything exceeded your expectations and we would be thrilled if you stayed with us again. Kind regards HH Property Owner
Lillian September 2024

“Fabulous stay with everything we needed .”

Second time visiting and definitely would come again.

- Lillian, September 2024

Thank you for your positive review of Honeybees Haven and really glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you all back for a 3rd visit next year. Kind regards HH Property Owner
John September 2024

“Wonderful bungalow, very well equipped and spacious, everything needed was there.”

We were extremely happy with queen bed and kitchen fixtures, and corner settee, close to Tesco for all our needs. Only consideration is kitchen blinds are rather dirty/dusty, otherwise a totally delightful stay and would 100% recommend to anyone visiting the area.

- John, September 2024

So glad you enjoyed your stay at Honeybees Haven and that it provided you with a comfortable base for your holiday. Thank you for the prompt regarding the kitchen blinds which have been duly dusted. We do hope to welcome you again. Kind regards HH Property Owner
Madeleine July 2024

“Lovely welcome from the manager set the tone for a wonderful week.”

We had a great stay here. The property was well stocked with everything we needed. Board games and maps especially welcome. Lovely wild garden at its best in August was joyful. Took us a while to get used to the sound of the gulls pacing on the roof. We had amazing weather and loved exploring the different coastal areas from this base.

- Madeleine, July 2024

Thank you for your fabulous review which is so appreciated as we aim to provide a peaceful home from home. Glad you found it so and enjoyed the wonderful surroundings in Hunstanton and beyond. Kind regards Property Owner
Michael July 2024

“Great cottage, near to the town, beach and all the surrounding facilities.”

The cottage has all you need and it was nice that milk , tea bags etc welcomed us. The only drawback was that one bed in the double room was impossible to sleep on as it was so lumpy, a new mattress is definitely needed. Also the grass in the garden is very overgrown so it’s hard to pick up the dog’s poo. Saying that we would definitely return there.

- Michael, July 2024

So pleased that you had a fabulous time at Honeybees Haven. Thank you for alerting us to the mattress which we will be changing as comfort is so important. Our gardener does his best to keep up with the cutting regime for the grass this Summer but acknowledge it’s difficult with dog care for you. We welcome you back next year, kind regards! Property Owner
Sue July 2024

“Very clean bungalow, well equipped and very dog friendly.”

Very close to Tescos and the beach. Lovely walks.

- Sue, July 2024
Roy June 2024

“This property is in need of complete revamp, it's general state is that of complete neglect.”

I read many of the reviews by other guests and we must have stayed in a different place, or our expectations and standards are much higher than that given by this property. The sofas are tired and need replacing, why have winceyette sheets on the bed in summertime?, bathroom plug broken, don't push it down too hard or it will get stuck. Mold in the main bedroom wardrobe, no extractor in the kitchen, no grill pan, tired non stick frypans. Worst of all was the back garden which we could not use, the grass had not been cut for weeks and the overflowing compost bin attracted RATS, yes RATS were seen in the back garden so we band our dog and ourselves from going outside just as well as we would have needed a machete to get the the green mold covered table and chairs. Sykes should delist this property until improvements are made.

- Roy, June 2024

Your comments absolutely do not reflect our cottage and so I am naturally disappointed. A grass cut was offered after you contacted our wonderful property manager. No mention was made of other issues that could have improved your stay. We have had the garden and compost area thoroughly checked and can find no sign of rodents. The wardrobe has been checked and has been found to be free of any issue, the bathroom plug will also be checked. We appreciate that sofas can be personal preference and subjective. We will replace any frying pan etc that is required. We would have assisted immediately with any help you required if we had been made aware at the time and we are sorry we were not given the opportunity to do so. Property Owner
Vicki May 2024

“Had a lovely week stay.”

The bungalow was very clean on arrival. Had everything you needed. Like a home away from ho me. Defently reccomend

- Vicki, May 2024

So pleased you had a restful time at Honeybees, we do pride ourselves in providing a homely feel. Kind regards and do visit again. Property Owner
Gillian May 2024

“A TARDIS of a property it is well kept.”

Good quality furnishings towels, bedding through-out. We were very comfortable with all, though the bath/shower and screen a bit of a squeeze and we are both slim. Huge dining room and the main and second bedroom have good rear garden view. Kitchen well stocked. If you seek a bungalow at reasonable price as we did for our older dog it works well a park walk within 10 minutes.

- Gillian, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback and welcome you back at Honeybees at any time Property Owner
Cheryl May 2024

“My husband did have to sit on a dining chair as lounge suite was far too low for him”

- Cheryl, May 2024

Thank you for highlighting the standard seating, we are looking into buying some additional armchairs. Kind regards Property Owner

We had a lovely week in Honeybees cottage it was very comfortable and had everything you need for a good holiday, also found the location ideal for shops and sea

- June, March 2024

So glad you had a comfortable stay at Honeybees Haven and hope you will return. Kind regards Property Owner
Malcolm March 2024

“Broken tiles in the porch and the electric heater bracket is broken but didn't affect our stay .”

We would visit again as it suited our needs ,we all enjoyed our holiday

- Malcolm, March 2024

Thank you for your feedback on Honeybees Haven and so pleased you enjoyed your stay and will welcome you back in the future. The repairs in the porch are on our to do list when the cottage is free. Kind regards Property Owner
Kim January 2024

“We love coming to honeybees haven, Right near the beach so we can walk our boy, Quiet area which is great, The only downside was that this time round there was no wood for the fire at all not even a basket full to start us off, The cupboard where the Hoover and other things were kept was locked and everything out of it was shoved in the wardrobe in the master bedroom, which seemed unusual, It was great to have wood flooring in the bedroom and hallway as this is the only available route to the garden so mucky paws won't ruin the carpet that was down, A cheese grater would have been a bonus in the kitchen but everything else was fantastic as always.”

- Kim, January 2024

So glad you had a wonderful stay with us. Thank you for the useful feedback.Sorry a starter fire pack wasn’t left. Unfortunately we couldn’t sustain financially allowing guests to help themselves to the wood store. I’m sure you understand and a box cheese grater has been purchased in addition to the wooden cased one. Kind regards Property Owner
Steve January 2024

“Lovely stay in a really nice place, bed was really comfy kitchen had everything thing and more, we will return”

- Steve, January 2024

Thanks for your kind feedback on Honeybees! So glad your expectations were fully met and look forward to having you stay in the future. Kind regards Property Owner
Richard December 2023

“Lovely accommodation and ideal for our three adults and two golden retrievers, with tiled floors and a secure lawned back garden.”

Liked the open plan layout of the kitchen, lounge and dining area,

- Richard, December 2023

So glad your family enjoyed the stay and that Honeybees was perfect for your break in Hunstanton. Do visit again. Kind regards. Property Owner
Len November 2023

“Very well laid out bungalow, kitchen well supplied with utensils, pots and pans etc and very comfortable main bedroom, bungalow is in a nice quiet location and only few minutes walk to sea or town centre.”

Only couple of minor quibbles, as raised by other reviewers the sofa is very low and can be an issue if used by someone with limited mobility and at this time of year it would make sense to either have hard flooring or a runner in the bedroom to stop the muddy paw prints on the cream carpet

- Len, November 2023

Thank you for the appreciative feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay at Honeybees. The improvements to the flooring have now been made and the sofa will stay with other higher seating to be available. Kind regards Property Owner
Lillian October 2023

“Great dog friendly property, safe enclosed garden which was so good for the dogs and us sitting outside.”

Home from home .

- Lillian, October 2023

Thank you for your kind review and really pleased you found Honeybees Haven a home from home. We look forward to welcoming you again next year. Kind regards Property Owner
David October 2023

“Lovely accommodation in a very nice and quiet area, short walk away from the sea front.”

Very nice to get there be greeted by a welcome pack and all the information we needed. Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back.

- David, October 2023

Thank you for your kind review and we are so pleased that Honeybees Haven provided a comfortable and convenient base for your holiday. We look forward to seeing you again in Hunstanton in the future. Kind regards. Property Owner
Yvonne September 2023

“We all enjoyed our stay at Honeybees Haven ( 4 adults and 2 dogs) it was a real home from home, very well equipped, clean and comfortable, the garden is secure and dog friendly, the weather was good enough for me to enjoy a morning coffee sitting in the garden : ) it's only a short walk into Hunstanton town and there are 2 supermarkets close by.”

I would definitely stay there again if I visit the area in the future.

- Yvonne, September 2023

Thank you for your kind review of Honeybees Haven and so glad it met your expectations for a relaxing stay in Hunstanton. I agree there are many seating places to enjoy the sunshine and pleased you had lots of enjoyable moments during your stay. We look forward to greeting you again in the future. Kind regards. Property Owner
Gavin September 2023

“Great bungalow nice and clean great beds lovely stay”

- Gavin, September 2023

Jacqueline September 2023

“Unfortunately the sofa was very uncomfortable and being in our 80s we found it very low and difficult to get up.”

- Jacqueline, September 2023
Jayne August 2023

“The sofa was too low for people with mobility issues and not very comfy.”

The rest of the bungalow itself, was fine. The back and front garden needed some attention. The lawn needed cutting and some of the shrubs needing cutting back. Other than that Honeybees Haven suited us well for a base to visit other towns.

- Jayne, August 2023
Susan June 2023

“Lovely well equipped bungalow.”

Very clean . Good position. Loved the garden. Woke up to ducklings hatched out in back garden

- Susan, June 2023

Thank you for your kind feedback and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. The ducklings are definitely a special feature! Best wishes and hope to welcome you again. Property Owner
Alexa May 2023

“We had a lovely short stay over the late May bank holiday weekend.”

The bungalow is spacious, clean and well equipped. The garden is small but lovely with beautiful flowers and my 15 year old daughters enjoyed feeding the nesting duck!. Beds were very comfortable with good quality bedding. Lou, the propert manager, was very helpful and friendly. Would love to stay again in the future. Thank you!

- Alexa, May 2023

Thank you for your generous review of Honeybees Haven. We are so appreciative that you throughly enjoyed your short break and you should definitely return for a longer period to enjoy all the delights of North West Norfolk. Kind regards Property Owner
Sharon April 2023

“We felt at home the moment we arrived at Honeybees Haven.”

Such as comfortable well equipped bungalow. We had very specific requirements for our stay. Our 16 year old dog is virtually blind with poor mobility and can easily get distressed in a different home. The open plan layout with no stairs was perfect for him and he settled in right away. In addition, our young dog is very reactive, so the secure private garden in a quiet cul-de-sac was perfect for him. As we were unable to eat out (due to our high maintenance fur babies!), the combined kitchen/living area was perfect for preparing meals. Easy walk to town and beach, we will definitely be back!

- Sharon, April 2023

Thank you so much for your appreciative feedback on Honeybees Haven and we are thrilled that your needs were fully met during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Kind regards Property Owner
Holly April 2023

“We had a great stay here, we only used the master bedroom which was huge - all bedrooms had lovely clean linen on, the bed was very comfortable and so was the sofa, secure garden for the dogs and very well equipped all round.”

My only comment would be that is could do with a more thorough deep clean, the bathroom fell particularly grubby, crumbs on dining room chairs, and smarties/ dog chews under sofa. There was also cigarette ends and dog poo on grass from previous people which we picked up. We would recommend to others and stay here again as overall it was very comfortable and suitable for us. Great communication from Lou telling us the property was ready and we looked after the nesting duck in the garden!

- Holly, April 2023

We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Honeybees Haven and thank you kind feedback duly noted.I’m sorry that you had to clear the mess left previously in the garden, this should have been cleared. We are looking to replace the carpets to laminate to help cleaning doggy prints from the garden. Finally, thank you for helping out with the Spring wildlife- those ducks are adorable and Hunstanton has them in abundance! Kind regards, Property Owner
Philip April 2023

“Generally speaking this property is in need of a good sort out.”

Decor furnishings and fittings are pretty poor, tired and worn. It is not a property I would be proud of, simply there to earn money. Definitely not good value and I would not recommend it. The gardens are rough and appear neglected. However the cleaner / property manager was very pleasant and did her utmost to make it work. The owners have some work to do.

- Philip, April 2023

We are so disappointed that you found our home not to your taste as we do indeed take pride that it is a comfortable home from home for our guests to use while enjoying delightful Hunstanton. I’m glad you appreciated Louise’s help with your earlier check in.We are particularly proud of our colourful, wildlife garden so do not agree with your opinions on this. Kind regards, Property Owner
Sarahlouise March 2023

“Had a lovely stay at Honey Bees home from home had everything that we needed, very comfortable would book again.”

My dogs got fed up me wiping their feet coming in from the garden as the carpet is cream ! Well done Lou xx

- Sarahlouise, March 2023

Thank you for your kind words and we are so glad you found Honeybees to be a home from home. It is our intention for our guests to have a relaxing time. Your comment regarding the light carpet into garden is duly noted for when we upgrade in the future. Kind regards. Property Owner
Carole March 2023

“Great property, well equipped and spacious.”

Beds comfortable, good bathroom and well equipped kitchen. Home warm and comfortable over a wet and cold few days. Only drawback was thr sofa which was ok but as older guests difficult to get up from!!

- Carole, March 2023

Thank you for your feedback on the comfortable sofa; duly noted. We are glad you enjoyed your time at Honeybees Haven and hope for you to visit again. Kind regards. Property Owner
Juliet March 2023

Great facilities, lovely fireplace & garden. Will definitely come back for a second visit. We'll done to the owners and Lou the manager of the property

Alison November 2022

“This was our 2nd stay at honeybees haven,it’s a lovely bungalow ,has everything you could need, but needs a couple of things looking at last year we left feedback about saucepans needing replacing as the non stick is scratched and are still the same ones and needs utensils to match the pans it has metal ones , why the pans are scratched, and what let’s it down on comfort is the sofa it really needs replacing, it’s very low I bruised my leg on it this time .”

Last year I had the twin room and it has no storage ,I didn’t unpack,could do with a bed taking out making it a single room with a wardrobe , chest of drawers and bedside table putting in like the other single room,this year I stayed in the single room and whilst I did unpack my bag using the drawers in the room the lovely big cupboard in the room has no rail so couldn’t hang anything up, it needs a rail. And the last improvement would be converting half the masssive cleaning room into a toilet, Because of the above things we are not returning to honeybees haven next year as we are going away for a week and need a property with a better sofa, BUT however would stay again for a short stay.

- Alison, November 2022

Thank you for your feedback which is duly noted. There is under bed storage in the twin room and a triple wardrobe in the king room for adequate storage. The storage room is not massive and the cottage is not of a size to need more toilets facilities. The comfortable sectional sofa is standard height and so this doesn’t require replacing in our opinion. There are wooden utensils to use which will not scratch the pans. We accommodated an early check in and late exit at no extra cost to you and so am disappointed your stay didn’t live up to your requirements. Kind regards Property Owner
Struan September 2022

“On the Thursday we lost the keys.”

Our fault, we lost it. We rang the emergency number, to be greeted with no help at all. 4 locksmiths declined later. We eventually got in after 21:00 four hours later. I'd really recommend each let under under the Sykes banner an affiliation with a 24hr locksmith. It was a very warm bungalow & sun trap. Suggest a couple of portable fans. Overall we will give it a 9 out of 10. It would've been a 10 out of 10 if it would've been for how we were treat key incident.

- Struan, September 2022
Kevin September 2022

“Everything you could need.”

Great location. Huge master bedroom. Lovely secure garden

- Kevin, September 2022
B June 2022

“An extremely nice and comfortable cottage, with a nice garden.”

An excellent sleep was had in the beds provided. The kitchen was kitted out with everything that we required. The lounge / dining areas were totally adequate. All in all added to make a great holiday experience for us, and due to this we would recommend it to one and all !!!

- B, June 2022

We are so glad you enjoyed your recent stay at Honeybees Haven and thank you for your kind review.It is much appreciated. Do visit us again in the future. Kind regards. Thank you also for your kind honeybee’s picture gift Property Owner

“Airy, clean and tidy house with all requirements for a weeks stay covered.”

A quite and peaceful street, well situated for a short 10 - 15 minute walk to beach and shops.

- Colin, May 2022

Thank you for your kind review and hope you enjoyed your recent holiday in Hunstanton. We hope you return in the future. Kind regards Property Owner
Peter May 2022

“Lovely bungalow on a residential street.”

Wonderfully comfortable beds and bedding, great kitchen and fabulous sofa. Really liked the open plan living and dining area. We had a few interactions with the local duck and her ducklings, she got stuck between the bungalow and the fence so my Dad had to move some old fence panels that were in the gap and were stopping her escaping. Unfortunately a couple of negative comments. I wouldn't usually say anything but as a family we felt it significant. The bathroom really needs some attention, thick dust on the back of the doors & skirting boards and limescale on both sets of taps. The storage for clothes is frustrating, why is there a wardrobe in the single room but no clothes rail inside? The twin room only has under bed drawers. The double room is huge, with fabulous storage but we were 2 households so I didn't want to use that wardrobe in someone else's room. The garden really needs tidying, the grass hadn't been cut for a while and that made it hard to do a pick up after the dog. There were alot of weeds and it just made using the garden less welcoming. For someone with mobility issues, navigating these was just a little awkward. The next door bungalow, which initially we thought was being refurbished, really is a sight for sore eyes and let down the whole relaxed feel you want from a holiday let. When the temperature gets higher I would imagine the unpleasant odour will get worse. It does look like some of the decorating hasn't been completed, for instance there are nails in walls but no pictures. Be aware, if taking a dog, that access to the garden is through the double bedroom. We had a pleasant week but I'm afraid we wouldn't go back.

- Peter, May 2022
Richard April 2022

“Didn’t think it was to clean on arrival, bathroom really needs an update.”

Cleaners really need to clean under cushions on settee had to get the hover out it was disgusting dog hair everywhere. Really needs more storage in two of the bedrooms, no where to hang your clothes. Great location though, all in all a great holiday.

- Richard, April 2022

We are glad you hear that you found our holiday home a great base for your recent trip to Hunstanton. You comments are noted on how we can improve and it is indeed regretful that you felt you had to vacuum beneath the sofa cushions. Our guests are always encouraged to ring our housekeeping to rectify issues at the time as we pride ourselves with providing clean and comfortable surroundings. Kind regards Property Owner
Lynn February 2022

“Loved it. Just found the access to the garden through the bedroom a little difficult with 2 dogs but managed well and the rest of the accommodation made up for this.”

- Lynn, February 2022

So happy that you had a pleasant stay at Honeybees earlier this year and hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards. Property Owner
Liz February 2022

“What a lovely quirky bungalow this is, so warm and comfortable, and walking distance to the beach and town.”

Great secure garden for the dog, and a wood burning stove for the evenings. We really enjoyed our stay here, thank you.

- Liz, February 2022

What a lovely review! Thank you so much, much appreciated. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Property Owner
Peter January 2022

“+ Really comfortable and spacious main bedroom, well-equiped kitchen and everything you could possibly need in the store room.”

Walkable to supermarket, beach and town centre. - Seating area very low and deep, so difficult to get up off. Bathroom units ok, but overall very 'tired', a bit of updating required. Twin bedroom very cramped, fortunately we didn't need it. (Left a note about very loose toilet seat and small leak from bath)

- Peter, January 2022

Thank you for your kind review and I am glad you found Honeybees a comfortable base for your Norfolk holiday. Your comments have been noted. Property Owner
Paul November 2021

“This is a lovely bungalow in a great location but a bit of a mish mash of rooms but plenty of them.”

All the facilities that you needed but the bath creaking when using it would defo stay again loved it

- Paul, November 2021

Thank you so much for staying at Honeybees Haven and we are very pleased you enjoyed your stay. Your positive feedback is so important to us and we value your comments. We look forwards to welcoming you again. Property Owner
Samantha September 2021

“Lovely bungalow, peaceful area, not far from anything you needed or for walks.”

Only downside no hanging space in second double room, only underbed storage. Our friends got round that and used 3rd bedroom.

- Samantha, September 2021

Thank you for staying at Honeybees Haven! We really do appreciate your feedback and acknowledge your comments regarding storage in our 2nd bedroom. We hope you will return in the future. Property Owner
Paul September 2021

Colin June 2021

“Honeybees Haven is a well equipped holiday home within easy walking distance of the town and beach at Hunstanton.”

As a couple holidaying on our own the property was very good in all respects but may not suit a party from more than one family as all the clothes storage is in one bedroom. The garden is delightful, just the place for drinks on a nice Summer evening. The sunsets in Hunstanton are incredible.

- Colin, June 2021
Sally June 2021

“The garden let the accommodation down.”

Apparently it was kept unkempt to encourage the bees and insects, but it made it not a place that was inviting and not user friendly, the lawn was long and lumpy and by the end of the week the grass had grown seed heads, a health hazard for hay fever sufferers. The flower beds were haphazardly planted and were not planted with colourful nectar full plants to encourage the bees and insects. It felt inappropriate to decide to leave the garden in a mess for holiday accommodation.

- Sally, June 2021
Lindsey May 2021

“No, the bungalow is lovely and comfortable with everything you need.”

- Lindsey, May 2021

Thank you much appreciated - please do return. Property Owner
Geraldine May 2021

“Lovely bungalow, very modern and well equipped.”

We wanted for nothing. The garden was safe and lovely for the dog as was the dog bed which I think she liked better than the one at home. We were very happy with all the facilities and would hope to return next year. Very smooth operation.

- Geraldine, May 2021
Stephen May 2021

“Nice accommodation, exactly as the description and details said.”

Comfortable bed and recently modernised kitchen / living area. Thanks

- Stephen, May 2021
Kate April 2021

“Fabulous bungalow, Great location - only a few minutes walk from main beach area with funfair and good ice cream shop!”

Excellently placed to explore the beautiful beaches around the coastline. Very well equipped. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for a lovely few days.

- Kate, April 2021

Thank you so much for your warm and positive comments. We are so glad that you had a wonderful stay at Honeybees Haven and look forwards to welcoming you back for a longer stay to enjoy the fun on the North Norfolk Coast. Mr Steve Alcock 1 May 2021 Thank you very much for your kind and positive feedback and hope to see you again at Honeybees Haven in the future. Property Owner
Sally August 2020

“Nice bungalow in a quiet residential area.”

Personally, the configuration of the rooms was a slight issue but did not cause any major problems as from the queen bedroom there is a bit of a hike to the toilet - also the only real access to the garden (if you don't want to unlock all the bolts etc on the side gate) is through the queen bedroom. All in all though we did have an enjoyable stay in Hunstanton.

- Sally, August 2020
Nick July 2020

“Home from home and little touches like the welcome pack were perfect, meant we could have a tea / coffee on arrival without a trip to the supermarket.”

- Nick, July 2020

Many thanks indeed for your kind feedback and review. As new owners we very much appreciate your positive comments regarding Honeybees Haven and very much hope that you will return for a longer stay in the future. Kind regards, Honeybees Haven. Property Owner
Janice March 2020

“To tell people that the seating is not good enough for the older person with difficulty getting up our of seating.”

Put a choice of duvet for beds 9 tog rate was much to hot .

- Janice, March 2020

Thank you for your specific comments regarding the medium tog and the seating. There is a variety of extra lighter bedding in the utility area for you use but a 4.5g tog is now specifically available for the Summer months. The seating is standard height but note your issues for mobility and will look to provide higher seating in the form of arm chairs. We appreciate your time raising these issues for us to improve the comfort at Honeybees Haven. Property Owner

About the location

HUNSTANTON

King's Lynn 16.5 miles.

The award-winning coastal town of Hunstanton, locally known as Sunny Hunny, is located on the Western side of the East Norfolk Coastline, renowned for its beautiful sunsets over the sea. Hunstanton is a great family-friendly holiday destination. The seafront with promenade offers rock and candyfloss stalls, funfair rides, a sealife sanctuary, bowls, golfing, a leisure centre, pitch-and-putt, Esplanade gardens, theatre, clean sandy beaches, donkey rides and sea tours in an amphibious craft. On Sunday afternoons a band often plays in the bandstand on the green overlooking the beach, serenading sunbathers and day-trippers, while throughout the year additional events are held within the town. Walking along the beach towards Old Hunstanton you find the richly-coloured cliff faces with intriguing rock pools. The beach at Old Hunstanton is popular with sunbathers, and also with wind and kite surfers. Within a 20-mile radius there is a large number of places of interest including NT properties, market towns and flint villages, offering something for all family members.
