We had a lovely stay at Southside, West Runton. The house and garden were just what we were looking for. It felt like a real home and we were made so welcome. The welcome pack was incredible and very much appreciated.

Our stay at hillside cottage
The property was very clean and tidy and well maintained, the garden well kept . The welcome gifts were very thoughtful and much appreciated . We would hope to stay there again if we comeback to Sheringham.
Very well appointed, with generous welcoming pack. Great location for walks along the coast. Wi-fi would be helpful at some point, given 4G signal is poor - made life a little stressful given unexpected work issue.

A very well maintained property. A lot of thought has gone into provisions. Lovely and close to the beach. Sadly though we had a week of awful weather! Not Norfolk's fault. But i would highly recommend this cottage.

A Lovely Cottage!
Glad to make a return visit to South Side. This is such a comfortable holiday home. The addition of the wifi and upgrade of the bathroom were both welcome. The weather was with us and we were able to enjoy the beautiful and peaceful garden. Our dog enjoyed himself also. The cottage is conveniently places to the Team Rooms, Village Inn Pub, Village store and Thai takeaway, as well as the other local amenities and beaches. Can not wait to return again.
Southside is a lovely cottage, better equipped than you will need, really clean and tidy and very comfortable.
It is well situated for travel all around North Norfolk and beyond, buses run regularly from nearby and there is a station in the village too.
The view of the sea greeted me every morning and it was only a short walk away.
We had a great time. Thank you.
