Hilltop is a luxurious holiday house that sleeps up to 16 plus 2 travel cots. The house is located just a few minutes walk away from a wonderful clean sandy beach at Mundesley on the North Norfolk Coast.
The imposing Edwardian villa was built in 1907 for Sir William Brampton Gurdon, the MP for North Norfolk and until recently has been a very well loved family home – which you feel as you walk in! We have extensively refurbished the house so it is now a spacious holiday home for up to 16 (two beds are bunks in a family room) with space for travel cots.
Hilltop is conveniently located only a few minutes walk to the beach and just a short walk from the quaint village where you will find a Post Office, Corner Stores, Fish and Chip shop and Pub.
The beach at Mundesley is considered one of Norfolk's finest - long and sandy with safe swimming at low tide and all the amenities and charm of a popular seaside resort. The beach is backed by a promenade lined with colourful beach huts and a popular Beach Café.
We have parking for up to 6 cars, but the close proximity to the village and beach means you can have a car free holiday, especially if you book an online supermarket shop to arrive when you do.
As the name suggests the house sits at the top of a ‘hill’, albeit given it’s in Norfolk the hill is not really a hill but the slight elevation does mean the house has lovely sea views from the first and second floors.
The house is large enough to easily accommodate everyone. We have purposely retained the individual reception rooms to provide cosy spaces to catch up or read a book or watch something different on the TV or just sit in with a glass of wine or cup of tea, without feeling you have to do everything together. The kids are well catered for both inside in a Kid’s Den and out in the large garden, so you can hopefully get some time to yourselves to relax and enjoy the Hot Tub. The Hot Tub is located in a log cabin making it lovely to use rain or shine
We also welcome up to 4 well behaved dogs.
We love it and hope you will too!
A warm welcome awaits you. We have created a stylish get relax feel to the house and have used a coastal theme to decorate with coordinating soft-furnishings and accessories.
Our guests constantly tell us how comfortable the beds are. Each bed is made prior to your arrival using Egyptian cotton bedding with hypoallergenic duck down duvets and pillows. We do have a few man-made duvets and pillows should you prefer. You will find plenty of white fluffy towels for use in the bathrooms and separate hot hub towels – just bring your own beach towels and cot bedding.
