The house is in lovely condition with all mod-cons and we immediately felt very comfortable. It is on the main road through Brancaster but this isn’t a busy road - certainly not at night - so we weren’t bothered by noise. Brancaster has the best beach in north Norfolk; there’s a friendly bar and restaurant 3 minutes away; and the local shop is nearby…..so it’s a great location. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Mar 15, 2022 #### Perfect in every way Charming property in the heart of Brancaster and handily placed for walks and trips out. Very comfortable, warm and cozy with a fabulous kitchen. Ideal for a small family or group of friends. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Feb 15, 2022 #### Perfect! Our third stay at Mayes Cottage, this time our first Winter break as opposed to the Summer ones previously. It really didn’t disappoint in any way. After bracing walks, we were welcomed back to the cosiness of the log burner - just perfect. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melvyn I. Jan 18, 2022 #### Wonderful cottage ideally located to make the best of N Norfolk Comfortable and convenient. Well equipped and super layout, loved the extension. Minor moans :- beds only doubles and mattresses too firm, upstairs hazardous for those over 6ft. - once you’ve grazed your scalp you soon learn! Unbelievably two of locals closed for refurbishment!! We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and the holiday, thank you ##### Melvyn I. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Liz K. Jan 7, 2022 #### Beautiful cottage Mayes cottage is gorgeous. It exactly met our needs for family time away. Clean, warm, luxurious. Walking distance to a beautiful beach, quirky community shop just over the road. Heaven. We have already booked to return next year. We had some issues with responsiveness of the holiday company, though - needed chasing several times, and their responses were not always what I would consider acceptable - particularly considering the relative cost of the property (and hence their commission). They were always polite and friendly. Just slow and not always helpful. (Un)surprisingly, when we said we wanted to rebook, the response rate to take money from us was significantly faster than the response rate to answer our questions. (None of the queries we had reflect in any way detrimentally on the cottage, and have all ultimately been resolved.) ##### Liz K.

We hopefully will be back.! This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire S. Jun 1, 2021 #### Stunning! The cottage lived up to our expectations from the photos on the website. It’s beautiful, inside and out ...the owners have good taste and clearly love the property. The location is good and there’s plenty of car parking space, we could close the gate so our small dog was secure. Anyone looking looking for a get away, I would recommend staying here. ##### Claire S.

Very well appointed has everything you could possibly need. Very comfortable. Good location. Walkable to the beach. 15 mins to Wells one way and the same to Hunstanton in the other. Would definitely stay here again. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### alan b. Nov 29, 2019 #### 99/100 Top marks to the owners, beautiful house, well kitted out & good location, 15 mins walk to the beach, only criticism, the beds are very hard, could do with some softer mattresses. ##### alan b. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good Nov 8, 2019 #### Great place to stay We had a great stay and enjoyed our time in the cottage. The only downside was we felt that the owners were not very generous with the toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets etc, considering the amount we paid for the three nights. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Nov 5, 2019 #### great cottage Really lovely cottage, beautifully renovated with fantastic kitchen. Everything we needed for a great half term week. Close to brancaster beach for lovely walks only down side was road noise from the main road.

Will definitely be back for another stay in the future. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good Jul 13, 2019 #### A lovely cottage in a beautiful spot Really lovely cottage with all mod cons, beautifully clean as well. Brancaster is a lovely seaside village with a long sandy beach. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only negative was the very uncomfortable mattresses on the beds, I left with backache and tiredness from some disturbed nights, such a shame as all other fixtures and fittings seem good quality but they decided to scrimp on this.
