“The house is absolutely delightful and the proximity to the town centre, the beach and the tennis tournament meant that we could all be more independent. The facilities were superb, especially the bathroom facilities with the electric showers meaning we could all shower at the same time without running out of hot water! My only comment would be the lack of large kitchen utensils when trying to cook for 9 people – which we only did once or twice! The two frying pans were small, and when making a Spaghetti Bolognese we had to use all 4 pans. There was plenty of crockery and cutlery though! It would have been nice to have another TV downstairs, so the adults could watch something different to the children! I would definitely recomment this house to anyone wanting to be in Hunstanton.”

9 Boston Square is an elegant and imposing Edwardian seaside villa, built in the Arts and Crafts style. Originally the home of Hamon Le Strange, the architect of the seaside resort of Hunstanton. He kept his Mistress next door (In what is called The Mistresses House and can be rented through Norfolk Hideaways) complete with a secret staircase for furtive liasons!

Local Area
Hunstanton is a traditional Victorian seaside town complete with a wonderful sandy beach and fish and chip shops. It has become a mecca for Kite Surfers and there are regular competitions held over the year. Buckets and spades are the order of the day and the town bustles during the summer months. The town was founded by Henry Le Strange and in 1846 he had the idea to cash in on the new craze of bathing in the sea by creating the \'sea bathing station of Hunstanton St Edmund. There are many interesting buildings around the original Victorian town, many in the Arts and Crafts style. The architect HG Ibberson being responsible for many of the fine buildings. With grassy peaceful squares, a long promenande and a green that runs down to the bandstand Hunstanton provides a traditional seaside family holiday for everyone. Guests not been to Hunstanton before are always surprised at what a fabulous beach there is, it is one of only a couple that you can actually walk to without crossing the salt marshes, and it is well worth making the detour from the more well known places like Brancaster. The famous red and white striped cliffs are a good source of fossils.
