Captains House is an absolute must for a short stay by the sea in Norfolk. The owner has meticulously prepared this house for guests and has achived that very difficult thing - making people feel completely 'at home', away from home. Both the house and the owner are absolutely charming and I could not have wished for a better 40th birthday party with 10 friends and family all staying at the house. We arranged for a catering company to come into the house and cook for us which made the experience even more enjoyable. I cannot recommend Captain's House highly enough - a wonderful experience!

We spent a week at The Captains House as part of my parents' Golden Wedding Celebration. Ages ranged from 17 to 88 and we all had a superb time. The house was built in 1820 for Captain Ellis and has lovely views from the front living room and front bedrooms. It overlooks the sea and The Gangway, with the RNLI Museum and cafe opposite. Early each morning we could watch the fishing boats going out and then returning several hours later, laden with crabs and lobsters. The house is beautifully furnished and well equipped for catering and the accommodation is arranged over 4 floors (we put the fittest in the bedrooms at the top, as the stairs are quite steep!).

When we arrived the Housekeeper, Debbie, had kindly left us fresh flowers, eggs, bread, milk, butter, tea, coffee and other essentials that we would need, which was really useful and most appreciated.

The location of the house is fantastic. You are very near to the shops and the sea and don't really need to go far to have a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday. The promenade can be reached either by steps or a lift. Surfing lessons are available near the pier (again very near) and there are some lovely walks. The beach was recently awarded a Blue Flag. There is a bench right outside the house and we spent many hours sitting on this, watching the world go by and chatting to the very friendly neighbours and passers by.

The house sleeps 14 and although we were a few less than that, at no time did we feel it was overcrowded.

I would recommend the boat trip to Blakeney point from Morston Quay (National Trust) to see the seals, oystercatchers and terns and a trip to Sheringham and the Runtons. There's lots more - but we just didn't have time. I would throughly recommend a stay here.
All in all it was a wonderful holiday, which everyone enjoyed. Thank you Sean.

This is a beautiful house in a stunning location. We were a group of 14 (3 generations of family) and everyone loved the house. With only 2 parking spots and 7 cars it was a bit of a shuffle but there is other parking nearby if you get in quickly! The parking and the small courtyard garden were the only drawbacks but a small sacrifice for such a beautiful place. We would return but it is now a 'no pet' booking and we have a dog.

We spent a week here with family including two young children, we choose the house beause of its location mainly near the beach and town, but were impressed by the description of the house as well. We were not disappointed, the house was spotless despite having pale carpets and sofa's. There was every appliance you could wish for and more. The rooms and beds were very comfortable. The children were very happy with the basement which had a large flat screen tv with sky HD which was a perfect spot fot the wii and playstation for those who were early risers! There was plenty of room for the 11 of us to spread out and not feel on top of each other. An especially nice touch was the bread, butter,eggs, tea, coffee, sugar and milk left for us and also a large bowl of fruit and 2 vases of fresh flowers. I would recommend this house to anyone who wanted to spend time in a large group
