6-Berth Static Caravan at Lee's Caravan Park, Hunstanton

This static caravan at Lee's Caravan Park is a budget, beach-first option for a seaside break with a dog in Hunstanton. Dogs are accepted, the beach is around five minutes' walk away, and the little park is close to a dog-friendly stretch of sand, so the location does a lot of the work. It earns a 3.7/5 paw rating from guests who have stayed with their dogs, and the reviews behind that figure are mixed.

The good news is the setting. Guests describe a small, quiet park in a handy spot, within walking distance of both Hunstanton town and Heacham, with parking right next to the van. Dog owners who were happy with their stay found it relaxing and would book a longer visit, and the kitchen is reported as better stocked than many holiday caravans.

The concerns are hard to ignore. Cleanliness is the recurring problem, including from guests without dogs: reports describe carpets needing a shampoo, dog hair left from earlier stays, a smell of damp and dog, dirty pots, spiders and, in one case, broken glass on the floor. Further complaints cover rotten flooring, a temperamental shower, heating limited to a fire that barely worked, and a report of bed bugs. There is no hoover on board, no WiFi or phone signal, and no veranda despite what some photos suggest, which also means no gated outdoor area to let a dog out safely away from traffic. A large campsite next door can be noisy late into the evening.

For dog owners who mainly want a cheap base a short walk from the beach and are prepared to bring their own cleaning kit, it can work. Anyone expecting a spotless caravan or a secure outdoor space for their dog should look elsewhere in Hunstanton.
