The bedrooms are on two levels offering privacy for two families or for different generations, the rooms are spacious and nicely decorated, and a large dining area will seat everyone for family meals.

Brancaster beach is a twenty minute walk or just a few minutes drive away. The popular Ship Hotel is within easy walking distance and has an outdoor 'al fresco' dining area. Opposite the house is a fabulous play park for children. There is also a great new village shop and social club in the village.

    Response from the manager
    I have spoken at length to the owner of The Lifeboat House, regarding your email and have forwarded your complaints onto him. He would very much like the opportunity to speak with you regarding your complaint as he was very disappointed to read your email as the property is his much loved second home. I rang this morning to ask if you would be happy for him to give you a call so that this matter can be resolved as promptly as possible, however I was only able to leave a voicemail. If you could let me know, it would be much appreciated. Norfolk Hideaways I’m sorry but I am not happy to talk directly with the owner as I have spoken to you and your colleague at length as the agents for the property. I have also provided pictures and a list of our complaint. I’m sure it is a much loved second home as I would love to own a property like this within our family. However, it is inappropriate to rent this property with such a lot of personal effects unless it is being rented with an agent such as owners direct where you rent it in the knowledge that it is a personalised space. Plus the maintenance problems are an issue that is unacceptable regardless of how the property is rented. Guest. I do understand that you may not wish to speak with the owner of the property; he simply felt that he wanted the opportunity to discuss things with you and saw this as the best way to resolve the matter promptly. I have let him know that you would prefer to continue with Norfolk Hideaways acting as an intermediary and have asked how he wishes to proceed as of course the contract of hire is between yourself and the homeowner. Norfolk Hideaways. On this occasion, the owner has confirmed that he does not wish to offer recompense or a refund. He has advised me that as the booking went ahead and the full 4 night stay was used, he has incurred standard costs from the housekeepers along with additional costs in having to have work done to the wood burner following coal having been burnt. Whilst the owner does not wish to offer a refund at this time, he has requested that his sincere apologies are passed on as he appreciates that your stay was not all that he would hope for it to be. He has taken your feedback on board and has requested Norfolk Hideaways’ assistance in ensuring the property is up to the high standard we expect. We remain in discussions regarding this. As per our conversation earlier in the week, Norfolk Hideaways’ offer of a £300.00 goodwill gesture still stands. I can credit this now to the card your balance was paid on and funds will usually take approximately 3-5 working days to appear in your account. Please let me know if you are happy for me to action this. I look forward to hearing from you. Norfolk Hideaways. Could you arrange the payment of £300 please as per your email below as I have been unable to speak to you since we discussed this on our last phone call. We remain extremely disappointed by our experience in this matter. Please advise us by email when the credit has been made. Guest. Thank you for your email, we can confirm that, as offered in our previous correspondence, a refund of £300.00 has been processed back on to the card on which the holiday was paid for (card ending in XXXX), the credit should appear in the next couple of days. We are very sorry that there was a need to complain but we very much hope that the above gesture of goodwill from Norfolk Hideaways brings this matter to a satisfactory conclusion.
