LATE AVAILABILITY

Myself, my Wife and our dog, Vincent von Woof (Vinny to his friends) were finally able to take our week in one of the Barton chalets after the 2020 booking was postponed. I'm glad to say it was worth the year wait. The accommodation was perfect for our needs and the view from the windows and gardens was lovely. Even when the weather turned rough for the last couple of days, it was nice to watch the raging seas from the comfort of the chalet. We both agreed it was the best sleep we'd had in a long time and, oddly, we found ourselves waking up refreshed, quite early each morning (pre 7am) to the sound of the surf and birdsong and it was lovely. The grass area in front of the chalets was a magnet to lots of local birdlife (it's not all seagulls). The location is ideal for trips to Hemsby, Caister and Great Yarmouth and you're close to the Broads for boat hire. The Beach at Scratby is a few minutes walk from the chalet and has a well kept public toilet at the top of the slope down to the beach. There's Tastebuds Tearooms a few minutes walk away if you want a nice selection of Drinks, Cakes and Ice Cream (Vinny liked their Vegan Vanilla). There was also an ice cream van that drives up and down the beach if you want one and there was a van near the toilets too. We saw lots of Seals (Sea Lions?) out on the water, popping their heads up for a look around. The biggest thing we took away from our stay was that it was very relaxing and so quiet. We went home feeling very energised and re-charged. We saw the new owners, Stuart and Louise, a few times on site and said hello a few times, but unfortunately didn't get to chat at length. We didn't have any complaints or problems during our stay to have a need to contact them, but they clearly work hard to keep the site at it's best. We didn't get the chance to tell them in person, but we'd like to thank Stuart and Louise for providing such a lovely facility. We'd definitely go back. David, Tina and Vinny
