Mundesley Boxing Day Swim

Good luck to all 75 boxing day swimmers - Better you than me !

New wooden floor in Living Room

Julian, our carpenter, has made a fantastic job on the oak wooden floor in the living room. He also fitted two new oak doors upstairs so that they now all match! The oak floor with the new mantle-piece and shelves makes the room look even cosier and welcoming. We hope that all our guests, old and new, will enjoy this lovely new look.

Roof work finished just before Christmas

The roof was finished just before our guests arrived for the Christmas break. Due to the snow and ice Richard wasn't able to work on the roof for several weeks.
Here they are at work on the outbuildings.

Find us on Twitter and FaceBook

I have just set up Royal Cottage on Twitter and with a Facebook Page. There is lots of local news and ideas for places to visit and eating out in North Norfolk. I hope you enjoy reading the tweets and please do join in and share your news.

Roof work under way

The scaffolding is now up ready for Richard to refelt the cottage roof and outhouses. When he refurbished the top bedroom last year we noticed holes in the felt and tiles that needed replacing. I know that guests won't notice anything new once it has been completed but we hope that it will make the cottage even more snug in the Winter months.

Enjoy Sky+ HD at the cottage

TV reception in Mundesley can be a problem which is one of the reasons we installed SKY at the cottage. To provide you with an even more enjoyable stay, we have upgraded to Sky+HD with the full channel package including Sports and Movies. The definition quality on the Sports channels is certainly higher and now, if you are not a Sports fan, you can sit back and watch Sky Movies in HD.

Summer update

It's been quiet on here for a while so here is a short update. Visitors have been coming and going all year and it's been very busy - too busy to do any serious work on the house or garden, that will change in the autumn half term when we should be re-felting the roof and re-seating all of the tiles.

Booking for 2011 is progressing well with 3 of the summer holiday weeks booked already, forcing us to add the 2011 prices to the website.

Spring Garden

Each year we add a few more spring bulbs to the garden - this years early ones have been in flower for a while now - hopefully will get time to add a few pictures here soon.

We are fully booked from 24th July to 4th September. If you wish to book for the School Summer holidays next year (2011 !) please contact us by December 2010 to secure a place.

2010 is here...

We finally finished the cabin room at the cottage - just in time for the 2 sets of guests we had over Christmas and the New Year. We have further alterations planned as now we have much more space into the eves of the roof, we will be able to add some 'built' in cupboard and hanging space. This in turn means that we can remove two more pieces of furniture which don't really fit in at the moment and end up with a larger (and easier to clean) room.
