The coast also offers excellent opportunities for walking, wildlife watching and enjoying the fresh North Sea air.

For day-to-day needs, the nearby town of Stalham is only a short drive away and provides a good range of local amenities. These include supermarkets such as Tesco, independent shops, schools, healthcare facilities including a doctor’s surgery, and various pubs and restaurants.
