This is the second year we have stayed at Repton Cottage as our base for walking the Norfolk Coast MacMillan Mighty Hike, which starts just 2miles away in Cromer. It is a generally comfortable and useful base for exploring the north Norfolk Coast with Cromer, Sheringham, and Holt within just a 15min drive - even Wells is only about 35mins away.
The cottage is on a small private estate and the road is unmade - it is safer on your suspension to come in from Boulevard Road than Roseberry Road. The parking is directly in front of the house and they do mean it when they say there is only space for one small car. From the cottage you can walk, via a public foot path, to the beautiful and fossil fascinating West Runton Beach and Deep History Information Point in 5-10 mins.
The cottage itself is generally very well equipped - particularly the kitchen which is a galley. We love the living room window seat for reading and dozing in the sunshine. The little downstairs shower room is very useful. The stairs are steep but there is a rail on the right when going up. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a very large bathroom. Our only real gripes are that the sofa is really not very comfortable with a very low back requiring heavy slouching for any support and that the mattress on the Master bed has bottomed out heavily, oh, and you have to close the curtains to get dressed ... as there is no voile on the Master window.
The little garden is very secure and small but perfectly formed. The cottage is pretty dog friendly with wooden floors downstairs and provision of a bed, bowls and a new dog blanket for every four legged visitor (which you are welcome to take home). Our dog always enjoys his stay.
While we have yet to decide whether we are Mighty hiking again next yea - if we do, we hope the cottage will be available for us again.
