Home to Roost, Crowden Road, Eccles-on-sea, Norfolk, NR12 0SJ

Having stayed at Home to Roost summer 2019, we were so happy with the spacious, well laid out holiday cottage, that we booked again and have just enjoyed a 2 week stay here July 2020.

The accommodation is absolutely IMMACULATELY clean, not a spec of dust anywhere. It is spacious inside and out with a wonderful enclosed garden, safe for kids and dogs.

Equipment is all very good and we were supplied with LOTS of extra towels which was great.

The location right next to the beach is gorgeous.

Our one and only issue this year was to do with comfort in the bed and sofa department. Since last year, there has been a notable difference with the beds and sofa.

Both beds in the downstairs bedroom felt like the mattresses might be due for a change as they are both quite lumpy In the middle and flattened out either side, with use. I felt as if I was rolling to the edge of the bed every night.

Also the big curved couch in the lounge has definitely seen better days. It was a little bit flattened last year, but another year on and its really quite poor.

My husband and I are fit and able and in our 40?s and it was really awkward to pull ourselves up off the couch due to the very deep indentations in each seat that you sink down into. I can imagine this might be very difficult for older, less physically fit guests.

The seat padding has sunk down so much it did not feel comfy at all, which was a shame. Naturally we understand these things do wear out with guest usage over time, but I do think sofa and bed comfort are very important things for the owner to keep on top of and worth pointing out.

If the mattresses and sofa issues were sorted, this would be the perfect accommodation.

Home to Roost is everything we hoped for and more!

It?s really spacious, well laid out, it?s very well equipped and everything you need is provided, a bit like a home from home.

Clean, modern decor and everything is well kept inside and out.

Ample parking right at your front door and a large, well kept, safe garden where the sun just shone in morning through to evening. (Our 2 mini schnauzers thought they were in heaven).

We ate our breakfast outside on the front area decking, with a comfy bench/table set every morning, happily people watching as a light flo

Nice property, well furnished. liked the two double beds in the large bedroom downstairs. Would have liked a stool, door hooks, shelf and shower shelf in the downstairs bathroom.

Needing a well earnt break from work etc we booked this place. Yes you do need to beware of the pot holes in the road accessing the house but just drive slowly. You could not be nearer to the beach, literally just over the sand dunes.

Loved the wood burner, very cosy. We did have to contact the owner on a very minor issue who responded immediately and was very helpful.

Fantastic to see the seals at Horsey Bay.

A week of great dog walks on the beach and around the area, many thanks

The property is excellent; attractive, spacious, light, well-equipped, modern, extremely comfortable, and warm. The owner could not have been more accommodating regarding out-of-the-ordinary enquiries reference our pets (thank you again), and there was plenty of room for our large dogs. Even in January, the garden was attractive and well-maintained, and completely secure, which was great for the dogs. The beach was a couple of minutes walk away, with another lovely beach at Cart Gap, just down the road. We had trips out to see the seals at Horsey Gap, to e

I have split this review into 2, the accommodation, followed by tips and reviews on the area/Norfolk.

Accommodation 8/10

Firstly when I booked here I got this for what I believe was a reasonable price. The pictures looked good and the place seemed like it had character. Getting here I should have read the email a little clearer, at the end of the long drive before the estate turn left, don?t go straight on as the road is awful. I would assume this is a deterrent to stop non-locals visiting the beach.

The accommodation was probably the nicest looking o

Stayed here for a week in April 2018. Lovely cottage finished to a high standard with quality furniture and equipment. The only problem was the beds are like camp beds they are 3? off the floor and unless your fit and agile very hard to get in and out of, my 90 year old mother had to spend a week sleeping in a chair in the lounge. This is a real shame because the quality of the beds is amazing they are sturdy and comfy. The sofa is exactly the same you sit down and your inches off the floor. I did report this and advised the description needs updating to ref
