The Quay to Happiness

The Quay to Happiness: Norfolk

Great Yarmouth has been enticing holidaying Brits with its seaside charms since the 1700s. Housed in an Edwardian building overlooking the River Yare, this one-bedroom penthouse apartment is here to show you exactly why. Step inside, and despite the largely modern interior, there's still plenty of period charm on show. Take a seat on the blue velvet sofa beneath the exposed beam ceilings, gaze out at the river through the elegant sash windows, or take a seat on the ledge behind the stunning wrought-iron railings. Thanks to its many windows, the open-plan living room/kitchen is well illuminated, with a minimalist modern kitchen on hand for any budding chefs. A trip to Great Yarmouth is a trip back in time to the heyday of the British seaside resort. In addition to the requisite stretch of sandy beach, there's a Pleasure Beach for that nostalgic fairground atmosphere, the Hippodrome Circus for retro seaside shows, and the Elizabethan House Museum filled with centuries-old furniture, clothing and even armour. Slightly further afield, explore the beauty of the Norfolk Broads, or visit the charming cathedral city of Norwich.
