The property was perfect! Just as described but sort of better, everything was great quality and worked without issue. As with every new place you stay it may take a couple of moments to work something out and at those moments, David, the owner was always really quick to answer any queries.
The chalet was perfectly located with just one large sand dune between you and the sea. When the sun shone in the afternoons you could have the double French doors open (sea facing), the sun would reach you on the sofa and you could hear the waves lapping.
Heacham beach is currently marked as being a polluted beach ~ one of only 2 across the eastern region coast. It was a bit sad to have to avoid swimming there but beaches just around the corner have the blue flag. And, it’s important that people widely put pressure on peers that be to stop polluting the waterways ~ so it made me feel ironically more attached to Heacham beach. And despite the rating of water quality the wildlife here is immense, birdwatchers paradise as the long beach when the tide is out is filled with a huge array of sea birds.
Overall brilliant. The sea is glorious here, with dramatic tides, phenomenal sunrises and sunsets. The beach is a beach combers heaven too with pools and shells and stones and sand.
David, the host, couldn’t have been more helpful and the chalet was beautiful. I will certainly book again if they’ll have me :)
