Mayes Cottage, Brancaster, Norfolk

We had a wonderful April week in north Norfolk at Mayes Cottage. The house is in lovely condition with all mod-cons and we immediately felt very comfortable. It is on the main road through Brancaster but this isn’t a busy road - certainly not at night - so we weren’t bothered by noise. Brancaster has the best beach in north Norfolk; there’s a friendly bar and restaurant 3 minutes away; and the local shop is nearby…..so it’s a great location.

Charming property in the heart of Brancaster and handily placed for walks and trips out. Very comfortable, warm and cozy with a fabulous kitchen. Ideal for a small family or group of friends.

Our third stay at Mayes Cottage, this time our first Winter break as opposed to the Summer ones previously. It really didn’t disappoint in any way. After bracing walks, we were welcomed back to the cosiness of the log burner - just perfect.

Comfortable and convenient. Well equipped and super layout, loved the extension. Minor moans :- beds only doubles and mattresses too firm, upstairs hazardous for those over 6ft. - once you’ve grazed your scalp you soon learn! Unbelievably two of locals closed for refurbishment!! We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and the holiday, thank you

Mayes cottage is gorgeous. It exactly met our needs for family time away. Clean, warm, luxurious. Walking distance to a beautiful beach, quirky community shop just over the road. Heaven. We have already booked to return next year. We had some issues with responsiveness of the holiday company, though - needed chasing several times, and their responses were not always what I would consider acceptable - particularly considering the relative cost of the property (and hence their commission). They were always polite and friendly. Just slow and not always helpful. (Un)surprisingly, when we said we wanted to rebook, the response rate to take money from us was significantly faster than the response rate to answer our questions. (None of the queries we had reflect in any way detrimentally on the cottage, and have all ultimately been resolved.)

On arrival, we were disappointed to find that there was building work being carried out. This was not mentioned at any point in the booking process.

Mayes cottage is beautiful, and we had a very relaxing comfortable stay. We hopefully will be back.!

The cottage lived up to our expectations from the photos on the website. It’s beautiful, inside and out ...the owners have good taste and clearly love the property. The location is good and there’s plenty of car parking space, we could close the gate so our small dog was secure. Anyone looking looking for a get away, I would recommend staying here.

Everything about this property was perfect for us, location, size etc. Even when we had an issue it was dealt with swiftly.

Beautiful property. Very well appointed has everything you could possibly need. Very comfortable. Good location. Walkable to the beach. 15 mins to Wells one way and the same to Hunstanton in the other. Would definitely stay here again.
