Ideal for a large family or a group booking, this large family home with its own hot tub is perfectly tucked away but centrally located for a coastal getaway. Just 0.9 miles from the golden sand of Mundesley beach, and even closer to the village’s independently run pubs and restaurants, the property has all the amenities you need for a family or group beach staycation on its doorstep.
The beaches of Bacton (3 miles) and Walcott (4.4 miles) are easily accessible if you fancy a change of scenery, or why not enjoy some friendly competition at Karttrak (7.7 miles) in Cromer. The beautiful Norfolk Coastal Path will take you to Cromer (7.5 miles) or Sea Palling (11.9 miles), and be sure to go seal-spotting in the months of November – February at Horsey Gap (17 miles).
This gorgeously presented three-storey property has been freshly finished to create a light and welcoming space for you to spend quality time together. Colourful soft furnishings and carefully chosen artwork decorate the space and create the perfect backdrop for your stay. The centrepiece of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen/diner, furnished with a large dining table enabling you to cook and eat together in one place.

Hot Tub Use
To open the hot tub lid unclip on the side closest to the patio doors. Fold back one half and then fold back the two halves using the metal bracket so the lid is still attached to the hot tub and the lid is vertical.
The hot tub lid must be replaced after use, or the temperature will not meet the set temperature.
To change the temperature, hold the “set” button down until it flashes and use the up and down button to reach the desired temperature. Max 40 degrees.
The owners will test and add chemicals daily so please don’t be alarmed if you see them in the garden. If you have any concerns regarding the Hot Tub please speak to the owner next door or call the emergency number.

HISTORY OF THE OLD DAIRY
The Payne Family has owned the local farm in Mundesley for over 100 years. They purchased the Dairy from Rookery Farms in 1963 which provided milk and diary products for the village. Ben Payne was the farmer and was renown for delivering the milk with his favourite sheep in his van. The farm then stopped producing milk and the barns remained empty for many years.
Hill Farm Dairy shop was located in the High Street, currently home to the Jupe clothing shop. The cafe next to the Dairy was also owned by the Paynes and provided a range of refreshments for visitors and local residents.
During the war Ben Payne died after standing on a land mine and his son Charlie Payne was released from the RAF to return home to look after the Farm. The farm no longer produced milk but made ice creams for many of the seaside shops and cafes.
Charlie and his wife Kathleen opened the first Beach Cafe in 1934 however twice they had to rebuild the cafe after destructive high tides. The Payne's managed the Beach Cafe, along with the beach huts and trampolines on the beach until the late 1990's.
