Excellent place for a few nights away, we walked to Waxham and Horsey Gap to see the seals. The only thing you need is a car to get to any pub for a meal, as they're not in walking distance. I would visit again, thanks.
Bliss!

Things to do on site and in the Norwich area
There are many local attractions for families, couples and nature lovers. The beaches of Norfolk are a stone's throw away (15 minutes), and absolutely beautiful. Most of these are dog friendly, too, so bring your pup with you.
The golden sand of Waxham beach (15 minutes) is the closest and is never crowded, You will almost always see seals in the sea all year round, and then from late October to early February a short walk along the beach will reward you with the spectacle of the Famous Horsey seal colony up on the beach for pupping season. During this time please do keep your distance and keep your dogs on a lead.
The idyllic Norfolk Broads (25 minutes) are a lovely day out for those looking to take to the water, with great activities including boating, sailing, paddle boarding and canoeing all available.
Local activities include:
- National Trust Horsey Windpump (5 minutes)
- Walking the Norfolk Coast Path (15 minutes)
- Hemsby Fun Park (15 minutes)
- BeWILDerwood Norfolk (25 minutes)
- Wroxham Barn (25 minutes)
- Norwich (45 minutes)
