Moongazer cottage is a sweet home from home. Very cosy, comfortable and beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly need to hand. The hosts are thoughtful and welcoming which was much appreciated. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend others to go and enjoy it too!
It was beautiful and had everything we needed for us and our dog. It made a great base for exploring this part of Norfolk and we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend
Lovely cosy cottage, all aspects of it were spotlessly clean. Useful amenities within easy walking distance and we really enjoyed some great meals in the West Norfolk pub. Great base to explore.
Came to visit Heacham and explore the area. Had a great time, weather was kind and got lots of walks on the beach. Cottage is welcoming and cosy. Would recommend.
Perfect location, beautiful cottage. Anna & John are great hosts. We visited for a family wedding so are very familiar with the location but absolutely loved our stay and even managed a day trip to Cromer. We’ll definitely be back again soon :)
We had a fabulous stay at Moongazer and will definitely be back. The location is ideal - you can walk to the beach and the bus service is excellent. It has everything you need and we were made to feel very welcome. We made good use of the log fire. Great communication with owners/manager - thank you for a lovely stay
A beautiful cottage with absolutely everything we needed for our stay Great location withing walking distance of beach pubs and shop Some lovely walks for our little dog and lots of dog friendly places

The cottage is in a quiet area but is close to beaches as well as shops and eateries.
It is extremely comfortable & well cared for and very clean throughout. The kitchen is well stocked. Our dog was well catered for, with treats on arrival & dog throws on the settees and both the front and back gardens are enclosed and secure. The back garden is a sun trap and a lovely place to sit in.
So cute and cosy, had everything we needed to cook a Christmas dinner. The owners had decorated for us and left goodies under the tree and in the kitchen, we felt very welcome and spoilt. Even the dog was so well provided for! Thank you so much.
Amazing little cottage. Very well equipped, spotlessly clean, comfy and a great location for exploring the Norfolk coast. Parking was the only minor downside as had to park jn 3 different spots during our stay but dont let that put you off, still well worth it. Word of warning to tall people - I'm 6ft 1" mind your head on the low doorframes, lol. Thanks to Anna and John for being splenid hosts. Alan, Paula and Max the dog.
Have just got home from a 3 night stay with my sister and dog.
The cottage has everything, there was nothing missing and extra treats left for both humans and dogs.
Spotlessly clean! The beds were so comfy and would love to know which washing powder is used as they smelt gorgeous!
Logs provided to start you off and there’s a log shop a few mins down the road so you can easily purchase more.
Two pubs within walking distance and it’s a 20 min walk to either north or south beach.
Even though the cottage is in a village the location is very peaceful and we found the whole time we spent there very relaxing.
There’s a smart tv, dvds, books for guests to use. It really did have everything and particularly dog friendly!
We would definitely book again!
Thank you to the hosts too who were very welcoming
Very comfortable cottage with quality fixtures and fitting decorated with a beach theme .We three adults had a very relaxing four nights stay .Close to local convenience store and pharmacy .Thank-you for the early check in and the treats left on the kitchen table ,so welcoming .We would be very happy to stay here again.
Lovely little cottage perfect for our family including the two medium sized dogs! Lovely walks, all amenities within walking distance. Perfect location to get around and see the sights.
Great cottage, well appointed and clean throughout along with patio chairs /table seating in the garden that was ideal for breakfast as well as a glass of evening vino.Wi-Fi was good too and the host left some goodies for check-in which is always appreciated. May well re-visit agin next year
Really nice cottage in the centre of Heacham. We took our pup for her first holiday so we were specifically looking for a dog friendly property. The cottage excels in this area with secure gardens, hard floors throughout, stairgates, throws on furniture, treats, bowls & towels! Our dog was clearly not a second thought!
This was our second stay at Moongazer and once again it didn't disappoint. Lovely cottage, nice area and excellent contact and information provided by the hosts. Would highly recommend.
Excellent property, very cosy and welcoming. Clean, lovely bedding and towels. Kitchen very well equipped. Anna very kindly let us know that the property was ready earlier than expected which was a bonus. Property is in a lovely location. We had a lovely comfortable week. Lovely treats left for us and our 2 cockapoos.
