A short story about Meadow House!
Our story - Once upon a time I use to book holiday houses in Norfolk and I became so fed up with raising my expectations to stay in lovely homes, when all we experienced was bland interiors filled with cheap furnishings, so back in 2003 we decided to buy our own home, but it didn't happen overnight! We saved, we collected and we restored 3 houses (in Mundesley) to get to what we think is a perfect beach house retreat - Meadow House! Don't expect a boutique hotel, or a contemporary vision, we don't have TV's in every room or 'en-suites' everywhere! We believe the house should be a home and a holiday a shared experience, so yes there's space to chill and relax, but equally there's room to gossip over a good glass of vino, or all the kit a terrifc day spent on the beach. We love it and we know our guests love it too. So that's why we ask all our guests to tell us what's missing. If it's not there we will go and buy it for you to make your stay the best ever. Whether you are down for a winter break or a summer holiday, we aim to provide everything you need for the perfect holiday - I do hope you enjoy Meadow House.
At Meadow House you'll find an interior filled with an eclectic mix of modern contemporary art and 'beach style' furnishings subtly mixed with antiques and shabby chic curios. We are continually spending money to improve the house, so we do value your feedback. We are trying to maintain the fabric of the building whilst maintaining 21st C modern family requirements - without going too contemporary mad! For the kids (big and small) we have bikes, trampolines, table football, croquet, wet suits, buckets and spades, body boards, DVD, VHS, Ipod Speakers, WIFI, - did I mention the mini cinema room and the hot tub (open Jul and Aug?), oh yes and 3 sitting rooms to relax in, one with a roaring log fire, and if cooking is your thing you'll love the Aga. We even have a boot room full of Barbour's and boots, so you don't have to overload the car! Talia (my wife) has even put a huge paella pan in the kitchen so you can light a beach fire and cook at night!
