A bit better when they had been cleaned.Β  Plenty of cubicles

The ladies had an individual cubicle next to the toilets and then about 4 showers with a bench and hooks for clothes.

What other facilities are there?Β Β Β Β 

Bins, CWD (sluice) and washing up area

Laundry. (4 washers, 4 driers – Β£4.20 for a wash, Β£4.70 for a ‘super wash’)

Amusement arcade

Indoor pool & heated outdoor pool

Very hit and miss.Β  More often than not there was none.

Reception are very efficient and welcoming

What’s the area like?Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 

The immediate area isn’t great – the beach at this end of town isn’t particularly nice.Β  There is a large Tesco and a large pub opposite the parkΒ – both within walking distance.

We cycledΒ  towards Old Hunstanton, finding a nicer part of Hunstanton itself as we did.Β  The beach at Old Hunstanton is spectacular πŸ™‚

More detail:

We liked:-

The wider area (but not the immediate area)

Having a laundry

The cycle to Old Hunstanton

The swimming pool, except that it wasn’t actually any good for swimming in…. (not properly anyway)

We didn’t like so much:-

The immediate area

The facilities

The number of statics and people living on-site

Whilst it wasn’t noisy, it wasn’t exactly a quiet site at night…

We hated:-

Nothing

Moving On:

We went to Stamford
