What to bring

• Bed sheets and towels, plus tea towels. There are four single beds, each with two pillows and a selection of blankets/bedspreads. There are several duvets of various sizes and weights. If you do forget anything, there are normally spares available: ask Alison if you can’t find what you need.

• Sleeping bags/hot water bottles/electric blankets. The building gets cold at night, particularly outside of the summer season. There are two portable heaters for you to use, and a couple of hot water bottles (look for them under the kitchen sink), but we advise that you bring extra sources of warmth if the night-time temperature is likely to be below 10 degrees.

• Wellies. The footpath often floods outside of the summer season. Better to leave them unused in your car than to have soggy feet!

• Change for the car park. The meters are coin only, although it is possible to pay by card when the Martham Boats reception is open.

• Food and drink. A few basics are kept in stock (teabags, seasoning, cooking oil, etc) but you will need to bring what you plan to eat: the nearest shops are over a mile away. N.B., if you order a supermarket delivery, give them the postcode NR29 4RF to receive your order from the Martham Boats car park.
