place was clean and tidy and direct access to the beach was a definite plus and short walk to the shops and pub. Beach was lovely and so much sand. It was a shame that the weather was not on our side and that Mondays are a day that a lot of places are closed but the Ship provided an excellent take away service as my husband put his back out on day two

Overall the place was fine, but we felt it was definitely not worth what we paid and were underwhelmed.Pros: good location to walk straight onto the beach; clean and well looked after; EV charger; regular communication; TV in every room; good WiFiCons: not very dog-friendly - felt like we couldn’t relax because of the dog rules; small for 6 people (one toilet); lacks a homely feel (lacking curtains, sofa cushions, decor and accessories); feels like corners have been cut in places (basic Lidl hand soap, not enough baking trays, an old scouring pad left for us to use in the sink); dated furniture/interior design (hundreds of old DVDs for example); Caister itself very sleepy and non-descript.

Perfect !

Perfect place to relax and recharge . Just what was needed. Everything was within a short walk with the beach straight outside the back gate. We were made to feel really welcome and nothing was too much trouble for James who introduced himself as soon as.we arrived. I would definitely recommend it and we are very keen to visit again . Thankyou James for making our stay so relaxing and chilled

Absolutely beautiful stay, cannot fault.

The property and the location were second to none. James gave us recommendations of places to visit and some local eateries. The bedding and towels was very luxurious - bath sheets and lots of pillows! There were throws provided to cover the sofas so the dog could sit up with us too. The house was toasty, and to open the bedroom window and to hear the sea was amazing. We had a takeaway fromRyans fish and chip shop which was so fresh, the battered halloumi was fabulous and very afforable. We also would strongly recommend the The White Swan for those who love fresh fish - incredible. Go to see the seals at Horsey if its the right time of year. we will definitely be coming again.

Cosy cottage by the sea

Clean and cosy cottage with adequate equipment in kitchen for cooking purposes. Note that the bathroom is downstairs off kitchen we only found out it was downstairs by looking at the owners site originally at time of booking believed it was upstairs. Back access leads directly to beach. Back outside space all decked and will be lovely in sunny days. Front to property has a lovely table and chairs and hammock. Cottage is dog friendly and stair gate in use to prevent dog going upstairs. Beds were comfortably with white crisp linen. Another couple joined us for a few days and found the cottage to be spacious enough with 4 adults. The owner of the cottage (James) was a fantastic host. Warm and welcoming and could not have done enough for us. Amazing fish and chips from Ryans and the Indian restaurant is a must beat Naan bread ever!

Lovely short break

Lovely to be so near the sea. A real privilege to see the seal pups at Horsey - a seal even made an appearance near the cottage! Ryan’s fish and chips and the butchers shop nearby are very good James (the cottage owner) was very friendly and helpful. Cottage was warm and cosy especially with a roaring fire. Access road isn’t as bumpy as we’d expected but a little narrow in one place. Our Tiguan was fine. Thanks for a nice peaceful break

A perfect spot for a seaside getaway

This beautiful cottage is literally on the beach and is all recently renovated to a nice specification. It has everything you need from a home away from home, it’s clean, well maintained and cosy. James is usually about to help with suggestions of things to do and places to eat locally. His recommendations we tried were spit on, (Ryan’s chippie and the Indian restaurant). We had two quite big dogs and both the front and back gardens were useful and well contained. I can highly recommend it and would more than happily stay there again if I go to Norfolk again. It would be nice to try it in the summer, but it was ok for a winter break, bearing in mind you are literally on the beach.

About the host

Hosted by QF Living

Host profile image
I loved living in the cottage for quite a few years as my family home and always thought it would be a great place to have a break so when the opportunity came to buy a neighboring house i did and fell into the holiday cottage business. Having previously been employed in many service industries, it's great to see guests enjoying themselves here.

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location
Helpful host
What a great village Caister is and the cottage is located in the best bit.

What makes this property unique

I take pride in my cottages and want every guest to have a great stay which is why I've met every one since 2010. I still live in the terrace as I couldn't imagine living anywhere else!
The cottage is at the end of an unmade private road so zero passing traffic. Electric gates to stop the dogs or kids wondering off
7KW EV chargers for every cottage with cheap off peak charging.
The cottages are actually on the beach. I've never stayed anywhere else as close.
I've recently invested in solar panels to lower the carbon footprint of the cottage. Electricity is on a 100% renewable tariff.
