For a superb holiday for you and your family, look no further than The Shielings – a fabulous coastal retreat in the charming village of Sea Palling. From your front door, you can see the short footpath that takes you to the stunning golden beach. With its sandy bays and calm waters, it’s a firm favourite with families. In the village, you have a choice of welcoming cafes and pubs, as well as amusement arcades for traditional seaside fun. If you’re visiting in winter, a trip to see the seals at Horsey Gap (3.5 miles) is a must. From a viewing platform overlooking the beach, you can watch hundreds of basking grey seals and their pups. From Stalham (4 miles), you can hire a day boat to explore the Norfolk Broads, exploring 125 miles of lock-free waterways and enjoying the wildlife.

The ground floor has a well-quipped kitchen and whoever is tasked with cooking dinner for the evening will have all they could possibly need to create a hearty meal, whatever the occasion The dining table can comfortably seat more than eight guests, if required, as there are extra seats for you to use.
