Garden Beach Apartment, Hunstanton Norfolk

Location and proximity to local shops and amenities.

There were a couple of areas of improvement. 1. There is a need for an additional curtain on all windows. The current setup makes it almost impossible to close the curtains in such a way as to fully block out the light. It is also extremely difficult to pull the curtains closed due to the height of the curtain rail and both the nets and the curtains are on the same rail. 2. The toilet flush is really tricky and difficult to flush consistently, this means you have to keep adjusting to ensure the cistern refills rather than having a constant dripping of water into the bowl. 3. I would also suggest access to an iron, there may well have been one but we could not find it.

Lovely setting, clean and spacious. Plenty of crockery, although lack of serving spoons and no teapot!

Beds uncomfortable and sofas lovely but not suitable for the elderly as too low and deep. We had brought our mum and dad away for couple of nights who are in their 80s and had to build up sofa with outdoor cushions rather than them sitting on hard chairs.

Pet owners be ware - this is not pet friendly if bringing a dog add the hidden costs (£75 per dog and you have to send photos). You could stay in much nicer places and in more comfort with nice extras like No33!!! The property itself was generally ok clean etc, but in the evening there are no curtains so everyone walking past looks straight in, it’s unsettling for a street property one expects window coverings as basic. For the price there are much better options available in Hunstanton!!! If I’d of been informed about the dog charge and seen the list of “don’t’s - I would off cancelled and could of found much more suitable accommodation. For a 2 night stay the total cost was £550!!! This was not a luxury stay. No nice arrival basket as you get in many other places, milk, biscuits, wine. The worst surprise after booking what was advertised as “pet friendly” was to be sent a message from the owner few days beforehand informing that only one dog would be permitted and a charge of £75!! Never have I seen such a high pet change not even in very nice hotels. I asked to bring my two small dogs, I had to send photos and was charged £65 pound each - a whopping £130 that I had no choice but to pay as was informed AFTER the cancellation period. No extra kitchen cloths, kitchen towel, or drying up clothes etc. Mouldy potatoes and food in cupboard. We had a lovely break in Hunstanton but the accommodation experience was very very poor, worst experience I’ve had in a long time.

Fantastic location. Lovely decor. Very spacious. Nice bathrooms. 2 of the 3 beds were extremely comfortable. The back bedroom double mattress sunk in the middle meaning you rolled into the centre

We appreciated the extras like shower gel, coffee, tea etc plus tin foil and kitchen roll. Netflix was great to have and the sofas and beds were very comfortable.

We had some issues with the heating but the host got back to us on this quickly.

The apartment was beautifully decorated and in a great location.

There was nothing we didn't like.

The cosy lounge and all the decor

Parking was street parking and I expected from the details when it said parking it was private car park.
