What Hotels Don’t Want You To Know
Cottage rentals Norfolk give you more square footage than a hotel room at 50 percent less per square foot. Your friends and family won’t stay in separate rooms or separate floors. You can all gather in the living or dining room instead of crowding onto one or two beds.

The bedrooms and bathrooms are private so you won’t have to share. You can pack fewer clothes since you’ll have laundry facilities at hand. Perhaps the best thing vacation cottages offer that hotels don’t is sitting on your own balcony having coffee and watching the sunrise, sunset, or just listening to the waves crash onto shore.
