Glad to make a return visit to South Side. This is such a comfortable holiday home. The addition of the wifi and upgrade of the bathroom were both welcome. The weather was with us and we were able to enjoy the beautiful and peaceful garden. Our dog enjoyed himself also. The cottage is conveniently places to the Team Rooms, Village Inn Pub, Village store and Thai takeaway, as well as the other local amenities and beaches. Can not wait to return again.

We really enjoyed our stay at South Side, which was spacious, well-equipped, clean and comfortable. Great location, 10 minutes walk from the beach at West Runton, and 30 minutes walk along the cliff path (or beach at low tide) to Sheringham.

What a lovely cottage, bigger than it looks in the pictures. Everything you need is there. The bottle of wine and voucher for the local shop was a bonus. It was also nice to feel welcomed by the owner in her friendly information pack. The garden is stunning.
The location is great, the village being very attractive and well served by shops and eateries. Everyone was so friendly.

We have stayed at South Side twice and for a retired couple, one of whom is disabled, it's perfect. Handy shop over the road, Village Inn that does lovely meals, opposite and bed and breakfast near that does amazing tea and scones and more and only short walk to beach. Cottage is lovely and garden adorable. Only thing missing is downstairs toilet but that's only for our situation. Hope we can go again.

An enjoyable week, but we would say that quite a lot of road noise, very late, with mainly loud bikes racing around and this is a feature that has been allowed to worsen over the last 5 years.

This was our 2nd time staying at Southside in West Runton. We love this house - the garden is beautiful for a start. Fully equipped comfortable and all you would need. No internet which does us a favour really & forces us to relax and enjoy the holiday. Great location - a short hop to the Village Inn which has been transformed with new owners. We were in there almost every night! Great to have parking outside the house. Short stroll down the beach road to the seaside. What more could you want?

Our host met us at the house and everything was ready. Beds made, heating on, towels and tea towels at the ready. A useful voucher for the friendly village store soon got us started and breakfast goods bought. We used the data on our phones and had a signal but my cousin struggled to upload photos from her phone.
We have holidayed a few times in North Norfolk so knew this would be a great spot to be based.
With careful planning we managed to park 2 cars on the front drive without much trouble.
I particularly enjoyed have a cuppa at the end of the garden in the west facing shelter when we returned from a day out.
I think it will be a great place to stay with an open fire when we look for a cozy place in autumn.
Thanks again Julia.

This is our third stay at South Side, we take our small dog who lives the enclosed garden. The owner recognises and remembers who stays at her cottage and meets extra needs as required. The location of the property is excellent bus stops near by, food shop and pub at the end of the road.

Nice location, but hazardous exit to main road, lovely rear garden, didn’t enjoy pet smells on one settee. Nice touch by owner to encourage local shopping by providing £15 voucher for village shop.. Lack of issue with most visitors and ourselves..

This is a lovely holiday home it is in a fantastic location very close to the beach, also very near to a small supermarket and tea rooms, also has bus stops at the end of the road, we were able to park our car on the gravel drive. Outside the enclosed garden was just perfect fences made it secure. Inside the owner has supplied everything needed to make our stay comfortable. We have stayed at this particular property before and have booked again for next year.

This is a lovely cottage. Very comfortable and within walking distance of the beach. It has a gorgeous private garden where you can sit and relax and it’s safe for any dog to wander round. It is also in an excellent location to give easy access to nearby towns and places of interest.
Would recommend this cottage to anyone.

This was our second stay at South Side. A Lovely cottage with fantastic garden. The perfect place to unwind yet with local amenities close by. As we stayed for two weeks we also received a mid stay clean and change of bed linen. The cottage has everything you want. Truly a place to unwind. Internet access would be desirable but it has still not stopped us from booking again for next summer.

A great place to stay, clean throughout with extra attention paid as regards deep cleansing during the current Covid 19 situation. Nice touches such as the welcome pack are appreciated. Beautiful garden which we spent quite a bit of time sitting in especially late afternoon or in the evening. It has to be said though that despite being situated on a side street it can pick up a lot of noise from the main road and unfortunately for us there was building work going on on both sides of the property during our stay. As we were out mostly during the day that wasn’t too much of a problem. Property is well situated with the Village Inn just across the road and West Runton Social Club a few doors down and Village shop close by. A nice steady 400m to the beach and within easy reach of the train station. A DVD player and maybe Wi-fi would have been welcome but overall a decent place to stay.
