Overall, a fantastic location from which to explore the North Norfolk coast, both over land and sea.

'Wonderful to be able to come away on a proper holiday in this time of Covid. Enjoyed walks on the fabulous beach at Old Hunstanton. Two weeks of glorious weather. Good trips out - RSPB Titchwell - saw the Marsh Harriers and lots of Avocets. We are not 'bird watchers' but makes a good half day out. Wells-Next-the-Sea - plenty to see/do - more or less a full day out. Sea Life Centre and Blackbeard's crazy golf next door. Norfolk Lavender (Heacham) - good café/restaurant (+shops!). Snettisham Deer Park - walks plus safari, so you can feed the deer. Eating out: Take away fish + chips 1st time from Fishers, 2nd time from Henry's. Sunday roast at The Terrace good. Joe's family restaurant good. Surprisingly nice meal at the Old Hunstanton beach hut, White Horse at Brancaster Staithe, Eric's pizza at Thornham. Fantastic fresh fish from Gurney's at Thornham. The housekeeping team make a very thorough job of the mid-stay clean- thank you. Overall a lovely holiday.'

Barefoot Relaxation

There are two sides to Hunstanton; the main resort of Hunstanton is famed for its distinctive striped cliffs and fabulous beach which offers ideal conditions for playing in the sand, exploring rock pools and enjoying the sea. Only a mile further along the coast to Old Hunstanton, the quieter, more traditional face of the resort has more of a village feel with cottages built of Norfolk carrstone. You can walk from one resort to the other, enjoying the views of the beach and sea, and taking in the exhilarating water sports action of windsurfing, kite surfing, kayaking and paddle boarding that has become popular in this area.

To explore the location further, it is possible to follow The Wolf Trail, which explores the gardens and cliff top scenery to trace the story of St Edmund, Hunstanton’s most famous visitor and first patron saint of England.

Several fantastic golf courses can be found close to the property, these include the scenic links course that is just across the road in Old Hunstanton. Further afield you’ll also find challenging courses at Heacham and Brancaster.

The town also hosts a range of popular annual events including the Hunstanton & District Festival of Arts, Hunstanton Carnival, the Hunstanton Kite Festival and much more. Find out about all the events in Hunstanton from the friendly Tourist Information Centre at the top of the Green.

Visitors to Hunstanton can enjoy some stunning gardens and excellent floral displays. The town was winner of a Gold Award and overall winner in the Coastal Resort Category of Anglia in Bloom 2013. Hunstanton provides an excellent base to explore the coast and countryside.

For walkers the beautiful Norfolk Coast Path starts from Hunstanton and at nearby Holme-next-the-Sea you can also head inland through the heart of the idyllic West Norfolk countryside on the historic Peddars Way. The special environment of West Norfolk provides some of the finest nature reserves in the country and Hunstanton provides the perfect touring base for outstanding opportunities for bird watching at both RSPB reserves at Titchwell and Snettisham.

Getting to Seaview Retreat

Guest book for Seaview Retreat

'Apartment: very clean, well kitted out, good welcome hamper, great location particularly for the wonderful Norfolk beaches. Beaches: a highlight for us, fantastic beach to walk to at Old Hunstanton. Our favourite beach was at Holkham, simply amazing within a nature reserve. We also liked Holme and Brancaster beaches, all amazing! Days out: Apart from the beaches, we visited Wells-Next-the-Sea, quaint little shops. Also we visited RSPB Titchwell for some bird watching. Burnham Market is well worth a visit too. Food: Our favourite was The Gin Trap Inn, Ringstead. We had an amazing Sunday roast, highly recommend. Also visited Chives Wine Bar in Hunstanton with fresh fish which was beautiful. Neptune restaurant was a luxurious meal and the owners are very friendly and welcoming. Also had a crab roll at The Crab Hut in Brancaster Staithe, our favourite. We also visited the Thornham Deli, fantastic quiches and coleslaw which we bought back for an evening in the apartment with a glass of wine! All in all a very enjoyable week and a nice apartment to stay in.'

June 2021

'Perfect base for our walks and lovely drives. Have really appreciated the break after what seemed like an endless lockdown.'

May 2021

'Very comfortable flat in excellent location. Can recommend - Blakeney to Cley circular walk and Holkham to Wells circular walk. Both have lots of very different countryside/ beach/ quay/ village etc and are flat walking. Also Old Hunstanton beach - walk up to Holme and back along the little river and golf course, home via the Mariners. Excellent runs done down to Heacham and back. Best beach - Brancaster for huge tides and watching the kite surfing.'

April 2021

'A lovely, welcoming apartment, well fitted and very clean. We've been very lucky with the weather. It's been a bit chilly but the sun and blue skies made up for it, as others have said, the sunsets were beautiful and we've enjoyed great walks along the beach.'

April 2021

'Beautiful flat. Very clean and fab location. Had good weather so enjoyed long walks and beautiful views. Blew all cobwebs away. Had a lovely meal at The Lodge. Thanks very much.'

October 2020

'Enjoyed the week exploring the local area. Lovely walks at Holkham, North Elmham and on the beach right here in Hunstanton. Weather not too bad, only rained yesterday and first morning. The apartment is a great base, lovely views, spacious and well equipped.'

October 2020

'We've had a brilliant week despite the weather. Seaview Retreat is a beautiful flat with superb sea views which we loved! We enjoyed exploring the area and also enjoyed great beach walks. Lovely meals at The Lodge, The Orange Tree and The Gin Trap. Many thanks.'

October 2020

'Lovely week in a very nice apartment with lots of nice touches. The weather was mixed but we enjoyed a couple of 'sunny hunny' days. We loved Holt and Blakeney!'

August 2020

'Our first staycation and our first escape since lockdown! Love the apartment and the views - it was the picture of the dining table that sold this place to us! We've been relatively lucky with the weather and have enjoyed long walks on the stunning beach at Holkham and Brancaster with a few sunbathing moments! Enjoyed great food at The Hero in Burnham Overy Staithe, Sands and The Wells Crab House in Wells-Next-the-Sea and a fabulous meal at The Neptune. Norfolk exceeded our expectations and we'll be back!'

July 2020

'Had a lovely Christmas week here - great location/base, cosy and comfortable, nice to get back here after our stormy weather outings. We were happy to find such a generous welcome pack of goodies waiting for us on arrival and on the rainy days when we didn't venture far, the mod cons were really appreciated.'

December 2019

'Seaview Retreat is a charming apartment; incredibly well-appointed and with stunning views. Upon our arrival, we found the property to be spotlessly clean and tidy, with every amenity we could possibly have desired. The welcome pack you so kindly provided was also much appreciated. Hunstanton itself is such a beautiful, peaceful location in which to spend time. We felt so relaxed and invigorated during our stay and also enjoyed exploring the many other breathtaking places of interest nearby. Once again on this, our second stay at a Barefoot property, we received a friendly, efficient and always professional service from your staff. Needless to say, we are keen to repeat the experience and very much look forward to doing so. Thank you all once again for making our holiday a pure pleasure.'

October 2019

'We had a very enjoyable week at Seaview Retreat in Hunstanton. The apartment was very clean (always a priority for us) and well equipped, with an amazing view of the ever changing sea. The service and standard of property from Barefoot Retreats was first class and we would not hesitate to book one of your other properties.'

October 2019

“First visit, glorious sunshine and glorious apartment. We loved it and will be back. Spent our days exploring Norfolk and our evening watching the sunsets and the world go by. We recommend Follys in Holt for afternoon tea, The Lodge is casual, Socious is amazing, Farm Shop and Gurneys in Thornham is great and supports the locals. Thank you”

Jane and Orla- May 2019

" We couldn’t have picked a better Winter weekend! We got to see sunny hunny in its full glory. Amazing location for walks into Hunstanton Old and New. This flat has amazing views and we even got to see the infamous sunset. All in all a lovely stay. Thanks for the memories! "

Rachel and Robin- February 2019

"A lovely apartment, everything was perfect, thank you. Great pubs, The Gin Trap in Ringstead Restaurants, The Lodge in Old Hunstanton Lovely walks in Brancaster Staithe with a stop off for coffee at Deepdale café, very friendly service. This was out second stay a Barefoot Retreats property and both were just perfect. Thanks again Barefoot."

The Edmonds- February 2019

"Thank you for a lovely stay, everything was perfect. The hamper was much appreciated and the prosecco a nice treat. I don’t know how you managed the bright, sunny weather for out mini celebration- Dads’ 80th Birthday- thanks. We had long walks on the beach and had lunch at the Mariners and Lodge-both good. We will be back"

The Georges- November 2018

"We’ve had a fantastic week in ‘Sunny Hunny’. Beautiful apartment with everything we needed, exceeded our expectations. Loved the welcome hamper and the other special touches. Thank you to all at Barefoot for helping us make special holiday memories."

"This is the second time in a Barefoot place and there’re lovely. Absolutely love the sea view here. The apartment is furnished very nicely, and it is really comfortable. A great few days relaxing and enjoying the beautiful Norfolk."

- September 2018

"My friend and I came to Norfolk for a walking and relaxation weekend and this apartment was perfect. We loved all the décor, personal touches and comfort. We spent 3amazing days walking the Peddars way, circular from Wells next the Sea to Holkham, and the evening walk by Hunstanton beach and cliff. We have many beautiful pictures of the sunsets. Thank you Barefoot!"

Virginia and Selina- June 2018

"More than lived up to expectations. Loved the apartment and the sunsets, lovely unexpected treats! We will certainly return, thank you Barefoot!"

Phil and Ann- May 2018

"Not so 'Sunny Hunny' sadly, with no sunsets so we may need to return. A great few days walking, relaxing and generally chilling. Given the weather- visited Sandringham and would highly recommend. Apartment lovely and very comfortable, thoroughly enjoyed- thanks."

The Hirds- July 2018

"We had a brilliant holiday staying in this beautifully presented, immaculate property which exceeded our expectations. The property is in a convenient location close to town with stunning views of the sea. It has secure private parking, lift access, very good wi-fi, is comfortable and well equipped and in a quiet location. I would not hesitate to recommend to our friends and family"

The Woods- June 2018

A lovely bright and modern apartment finished to a high standard, very comfortable and clean. Well situated for trips out and we could also walk into town. The sunny weather was an added bonus!

- June 2018

"Beautiful apartment, well equipped and decorated, this has everything you need for a short stay. The view is lovely especially during sunsets. The location is great surrounded by plenty of attractions and accessible walks. Would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to stay in the area."

- April 2018

“Luckily we missed the ‘Beast from the East’, especially as our friends had a long journey from Taunton. Great to have a lovey penthouse apartment with great views of the sunsets. Appreciated the style, comfort and the hamper. Nice to see that we will be staying in such comfy accommodation if we book with Barefoot retreats and that the standard is high.”

Lynn and Mike- March 201

"Great location, well equipped facilities and even the weather was friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed out Norfolk break."

- September 2017

"A belated August birthday treat, and what a treat! We visit NW Norfolk annually and usually stay in hotels, but no more! Seaview Retreat beats any 4 star hotel for location, comfort, convenience, decor etc, plus you can come and go as you please. Eat in, eat out, whatever! We were blessed with unseasonal good weather, the sunsets just got better and better. The object of our holiday was partly visit elderly relatives, it was an ideal base and managed a spot of sight seeing too. We shall we back, well done Barefoot Retreats!"

October- 2017

"We visited Hunstanton in February and experienced storm Doris, this visit was storm Ophelia. We walked into Heacham into the wind-uphill all the way, coming back was a doddle. Visited Titchwell and went to Kings Lynn on the bus because of the drizzle. Despite all this, we thoroughly enjoyed staying on Hunstanton and the apartment, once again we will be back again. Wonder which storm that will be?"

October- 2017

"The apartment was fantastic. It not only met but exceeded all expectations. From the welcome hamper to the very comfortable beds we could not have been happier. Loved the golf course at Hunstanton which was the major reason for our visit as was the visit to the queen's winter residence at Sandringham. Also the restaurant choices at Thornham. These are all major selling points for the region."

The Clareys- July 2017

" The wind did howl, and the weather was foul, but the views are great, the flat is sedate, one things for sure, we will be back for more" Thanks for the memories.

Margaret and Jack

"Fantastic apartment, and everything we could have wished for, great views and brilliant weather all week! We had a great time on our first visit to Norfolk and will certainly be coming back, thanks for the memories!"

"What and amazing apartment! As soon as we opened the double doors, we loved it. Very comfy beds, luxurious decor and spotlessly clean. The sunsets were beautiful and we were lucky to have a gorgeous one every night. We have a list of places to visit next time and we will make this a place to stay/ visit for years to come."

We all thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and stay at Seaview Retreat. This is the first every holiday let that we have done and we were astounded that the photographs and the description on your website about the apartment were exactly the same when we arrived, so many times you look at photographs on a website and when you arrive they are vastly different. The hamper waiting for us was an added bonus and the bubbles chilling in the fridge went down very well after a long journey. The dressing gown and slippers were also a great hit. The apartment really was home from home and we felt very comfortable and cosy there. We didn’t struggle with anything, we even had a roast dinner and found a carving knife and fork in the cupboard! The apartment location is a fantastic base for exploring Norfolk and most definitely the bonus of a parking space was great so we could get out and about walking and not have to worry about driving and finding somewhere to park.

Just a quick note to say thank you for a lovely apartment. Our first visit to Norfolk and Hunstanton was delightful; very relaxing. The apartment was everything we had anticipated from the website. Modern, stylish, clean and well equipped. There are only the two of us so such apartments are a bit pricey but worth it for the space and the quality. I was competing in a triathlon event at Holkham Hall so it made an ideal base for that that and then a relaxing holiday break for us. I plan to compete again next year and once I have booked the race then we will look to book the apartment again.

A lovely comfortable place for a mini break. We enjoyed ourselves, visited lots of nice places and restaurants - very good seafood. We would like to visit again soon!

A beautiful apartment with stunning sea views, making it the perfect place to relax and recharge. There are lots of lovely walks and nearby Burnham Market is worth a trip. We've had a wonderful chill-out and would love to do another trip here. The apartment is quiet, comfortable and homey. A real delight.

Very nice set up and facilities! Very enjoyable stay.

Fabulous apartment, beautifully decorated with lots of great feature pieces. Beautiful views and the amazing Sunset over the water on our final night was a real highlight! The chilled bottle of fizz and homemade brownies were an added bonus. Great stay and would definitely return.

A fabulous apartment with wonderful sea views and walks. Dining out in Thornham for both lunch and dinner are highly recommended. The Bistro in the Bank House in Snettisham is a real find for lunch after several hours at Sandringham - also worth a visit! A great, relaxing visit with everything we hoped for and more!

Lovely stay in this ideal location for walks and sunsets. Peaceful and relaxing!

Frost Family April 2017

We had a fabulous time here - so peaceful and serene. Loved the décor, everything so elegant and luxurious. We felt spoiled and indulged, it was a perfect getaway - we were rejuvenated, thank you!

What a wonderful place! The perfect base for relaxing & unwinding and a pleasure to stay here. Everything we could have wished for and more!
