Mundesley
The historic village of Mundesley was listed in the Doomsday Book nearly a thousand years ago under
the name of Muleslai.
Today, Mundesley is a small, busy, thriving coastal village (population 2,500) with much to offer during
your stay at Fireman’s Cottage including a 9 hole Golf Course, Driving Range, Crazy Golf and a variety
of tea rooms, cafe’s, pubs and shops.
You can enjoy a relaxing break, breathing in the wonderful sea air. (Visitors say they usually can’t stay
awake past 9 p.m. as the wonderful sea air is so refreshing and calming)! It’s so easy to fall in love with
this beautiful seaside retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of life. Try it for a long weekend or week
and you will want to return again.
Villages
There are many pretty villages along this coast & slightly inland incl. Burnham Market, Cley, Holt,
Letheringsett, Salthouse, Stiffkey, Cromer, Fakenham, Sheringham, Wells, Cley and Blakeney.
The Beach
The long stretches of sand are beautiful and at low tide shallow pools are left on the beach, making
it ideal for younger children. During the Summer the main part of the beach is lifeguard patrolled.
People of all ages enjoy the beach, to swim, surf, play, walk, picnic or just relax in a deckchair, its
a lovely way to spend some of your holiday.

fisherman putting to sea today. There are numerous original fishermen’s cottages.

A lovely clean, modern and comfortable holiday home. Sue was very helpful and has thought of all the
little extras which make a holiday special. We really appreciated the ‘welcome pack’ - great to be able to
make a cup of tea on arrival! From the ease of parking through to the proximity of the town and beach
the holiday was great. The children loved the clean, reasonably quiet beaches and the small local park,
and especially their ‘big bouncy beds’ and own tv. We’ve had a fantastic holiday and would recommend
Mundesley and particularly Fireman’s Cottage to everyone. Thank you. C.Hooks & family
Very last minute booking but not our last choice. Very impressed. Sue has really thought of everything -
welcome pack was a real bonus. This really feels like a “home from home” rather than a holiday home.
We hope that everybody who stays here looks after everything so others can enjoy.

Thanks. Adams family, Derby
We’ve had a marvellous week! The house is immaculate yet so homely - great to be provided with
essentials (like w.up liquid/foil/pegs etc!). We enjoyed Mundesley - the beach, golf, park, windmill and
takeaways, all within 10 minutes. Really appreciated the dishwasher, sky tv and wifi - made the holiday
a luxury. Thanks very much. The Parnum family
