The property was lovely and had all the little extras . Parking was within the gates but quite tight if your vehicle is large.

Great location, clean, homely, friendly host.

The property is a short walk from the Quayside, close to several pubs, well within walking distance even with a toddler in tow! The host answered all questions in a timely fashion and was on hand to answer questions about local places to eat. The property was clean and provided all amenities required for a holiday. Having designated parking spaces made life easy. Practical location for exploring the beaches and the Norfolk coast. We'll be back.

The perfect stay

We stayed at the Mousetrap for 4 nights. I wish we had more time to spend there as our stay was so lovely. The house is fantastic, well equipped, very cosy, spacious, quiet, well located and we really felt like at home. Location is great as everything you need is in walking distance. Some great pubs around the corner! And North Norfolk is just beautiful. We had some questions before our stay and the Carl was really helpful and responsive. Overall, we couldn't have wished for more - fantastic stay!
