Tourist Board Four Star Rating

We had some fantastic news last week, the cottage has just been graded as 4 star by the English Tourist Board (Visit England). We are really pleased with the grading and have worked hard to improve comfort and quality each year. This is the first time we have been assesed by Enjoy England and we were both really anxious about the visit. Paul spent the morning with the assessor who was very helpful and gave us lots of useful advice.

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.
