We thoroughly enjoyed our second visit at Bluebird Cottage. It does feel like home from home for us. The beds a very comfortable and everything has been thought about throughout. The kitchen has everything we consider important as we like to eat out but we also like to cook as well. We are very grateful for the high standard of cleanliness too.

Bluebird Cottage is a lovely place and has very good equipment and quality furnishings in each room. Whilst it is situated in a nice spot the down side is not having a designated car space which can be problematic in finding somewhere else to park.

This is our second year in Bluebird Cottage. We find the location to be very good for walking and the buses are excellent. Though the cottage is on the main road it is very quiet and at the rear is a lovely peaceful garden. We had everything we needed there for our holiday.

Excellent cottage in great location. Clean throughout with good comfortable beds. Good location with train station a short distance away allowing you to leave the car behind for a few days. Great beach nearby, with good cafe for coffee, bacon sandwiches and icecream. Corner House cafe and Thai restaurant great. Friendly local shop for basics too.

Lovely cottage in a perfect location! West Runton and the surrounding area are beautiful. Really friendly locals and an unspoilt, authentic feel. Short walk to the beach - the sunset is a must see on a clear evening. Would recommend the cafe on the corner too!

Lovely, quaint little cottage. Perfect location for Sheringham (1 mile walk) and a train hop away to Cromer. Also good for train into Norwich. Beach only a short walk away too. Pub across the road with excellent food.

The cottage is in an excellent location and the property is well maintained & comfortable throughout. The only potential issue is with car parking - the cottage is located on a private road but parking is on a first come first served basis so there are no guarantees that you can park on the private road

The property itself was very nice, however there were a few things that need to be addressed by the owners. The radiator in the living room wasn't warm enough. The contact given on holiday cottages was the cleaner's, not the owner's. We met the cleaner when we departed and she said she receives calls all the time and can't help the customers. The hRead moreot water went freezing cold at intervals. You had to turn off the hot tap and turn it on slowly again to work. One of the pillows was filthy. Hide
