What our customers say about their holidays

• Diane - Verified booking

  The owners of this single story cottage have clearly put much thought into including a range of facilities to accommodate young children, dogs and some disabled holiday makers.

  When we arrived, we were impressed how immaculately clean the cottage was. There were vases of flowers which gave us a welcoming feeling and some delicious cup cakes. We took two small dogs with us and they could run free, safely, in an enclosed garden. A hose pipe was provided to wash the patio clean if the dogs did their toilet there. Disabled holiday makers should note that whilst the cottage has a highish toilet, a grab handle, wheelchair ramp, wide doors and a wet room, there was no hydraulic hoist or others such appliances. I, myself, suffer with Parkinsons, I can still walk and I found the cottage easy to get around. Some people with severe mobility problems would do well to speak with the cottage owner prior to making a booking to discuss their specific needs. This holiday cottage is ideally suitable for people who are not taking children, or dogs who just want a relaxing holiday in the country. There is a table and chairs on the patio which catches the afternoon and evening sun. A superb facility to wile away the hours with a bottle of wine. There is a wonderful book in the lounge which contains lots of ideas of places to visit, including walks and so on. To sum up; we have stayed at many holiday homes in recent years and they have always been good, but this cottage is the best in our opinion.

  We had a very pleasant stay in this lovely cottage in Norfolk.

  The Meadows Cottage is a comfortable and spacious cottage and was perfect for our family break. It was extremely clean on arrival and everything was in good working order. We found the layout was perfect for us as a family with grandparents and two children under 5 and a dog. The children were happy playing in the secure garden, we could sit in the living room and chat with the doors open and see them playing. There were two little playhouses and some toddler play cars in the garden which our children enjoyed. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, leaving us some lovely treats at the beginning of our stay and coming to chat to us at the beginning and end of our stay to make sure everything was ok. The guide which the owner had left was excellent for finding local restaurants, takeaways, and days out. The property is close to some beautiful woods to walk our dog in and was a great base from which to explore Norfolk. Locally, the garden centre at Bawdeswell was excellent with a large play area for kids and some nice shops. The kids loved Roar!! Dinosaur adventure park at Lenwade. We were able to get to beaches like Wells and Holkham early to get parked and enjoy the day. All in all a great little cottage and a wonderful stay.

  (I and my friend, Linda Head, have booked many holidays over the years with you - I have lost count!

  Over all that time we have been aware that your company has grown. Yet we still receive the same service, efficiency and attention that we had when we first started using your company. We thank you for that.) We visited The Meadows Cottage 3 years ago in November and returned last week to help me celebrate my 60th birthday. As last time we had a wonderful, relaxing, tranquil stay. The property is very clean, tidy and comfortable. The bathroom is excellent and Linda, who has MS but is not a wheelchair user, finds it very accessible and safe to use. We had 2 dogs with us in 2016 but only have the one now but we know he is safe and secure when let out into the enclosed garden surrounding the house. The owners are very welcoming and available without being intrusive. They add little touches that really make it a home from home. I understand that it is a very popular property but if I can sort my annual leave next year then we will definitely look forward to returning!

  We had a wonderful stay at The Meadows Cottage.

  Adrienne was very welcoming with some lovely treats & even went out of her way to get my wife some Gluten Free treats. We had a very relaxing 2 week stay in this very spacious cottage which is fully accessible by wheelchair. Kitchen has everything you could want for your stay with lots of storage bedrooms spacious clean and well decorated. Good wifi connection which is important these days. Cottage has it's own private area surrounded by beautiful gardens and private patio a real credit to the Cottages owners who work very hard to maintain them. The Satnav took us way past the cottage so please be aware when travelling in down Billingford Road (B1145) and turn in to Bintree Road continue on past a big black barn looking building for a further 1/2 mile & the turn into the Meadows cottage is on your left just before the National speed limit signs with a sign for Meadows cottage on you're left.

  They had an award back in 2017 and I can see that it’s well deserved.

  We always do quite a lot of cooking and the hob of the oven has lost most of its switch markings. I and many others have probably turned the dial clockwise thinking it’s low heat and found it the hottest setting. The settings are in fact anti clockwise. Hence the Prestige pans have been heated very high and have concave bases. They only touch at the edges and take ages to warm up. Suggest a note re hob settings are clearly apparent to everyone. (The instructions were printed and in a drawer next to the cooker) This is the only comment I have picked up on and it’s trivial in the scheme of things. (Has been discussed with the owners) The owners on site are really lovely people and a pleasure to associate with. In conclusion we found the holiday home one of the best we have stayed in to date.
