  Overall we had a great week, the property was easy to find using the directions provided, there was enough parking for 2 x 4WD and a Corsa.

  The property is warm, homely and stylish with quality fixtures & fittings, comfortable beds and really nice bedding and towels. All the beds were made up as doubles (as requested) and the place was tastefully decorated for Christmas. The downstairs bathroom is lovely with great water pressure, shower upstairs not so powerful but adequate and functional. The kitchen is nicely laid out with plenty of space for our groceries and provisions, the outbuilding/utility is huge and also a great place to store bits. We had a problem with the TV and reported it to the owner via the property management team, we were very impressed that the TV was replaced the same day by the owner who made a 4 hour round trip to do so. Did some lovely walks direct from the property and went to the church opposite on Christmas Eve for the children's outdoor nativity and for the Christmas Day Service - so welcoming and friendly, it really was lovely. Only one other minor issue (also flagged to the owner) the main fan oven struggles to get up to temperature and the air doesn't seem to circulate very well - still managed to cook a full turkey lunch for the 6 of us on Christmas Day but it took much longer than we had planned !.

  Compass Cottage is a charming traditional Norfolk flint property.

  Parking at the back of the cottage leads to a dog secure gravelled garden, the front garden has also been gravelled over. The lounge is extremely comfortable with relaxing furniture, and the large kitchen/dining room is perfect for preparing and eating meals. Good sized bedrooms, and the bathrooms maximize the space and are completely functional. A welcome gift of Norfolk treats was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Unfortunately the smell of damp in the porch and downstairs bedroom was rather unpleasant. (It did dissipate by the end of the week.) The cooking equipment (oven trays/chopping boards/saucepans) need replacing. Dining chairs need recovering. The cottage would benefit from being painting internally. Having highlighted these points, they in no way detract from this lovely property which is perfectly located to enjoy all the wonderful areas this part of Norfolk has to offer. The weather for the end of September was beautiful and we went out every day. The best part though was knowing we were returning to Compass Cottage to relax in for the evenings.

  The house was perfectly situated for all of our needs and the house facilities were perfect and had everything that we could ask for.

  The TV channel selection was great and ample to keep the kids amused! I have had to give a lower score for the cleanliness of the property. Overall it was clean, but there was a film of dust over the cooker and cooker hood - someone before our stay had written 'clean me' on the hood, so it had not been cleaned before our stay. Also the corners of the rooms had dust on the floors plus there were cobwebs in some of the rooms. The main issue we encountered was the towels - although they appeared clean when we arrived, they smelt like they had been dried over an open fire and after one use they smelt really damp. The rotary line for the garden was broken and the heating was not on so they could not be dried well. During our week stay I had to wash the towels twice. I contacted the owner after 3 days and they were able to provide additional towels from their store but these towels also smelt bad so could not be used. My suggestion would be, as there is power outside, I would consider installing a condensing tumble dryer in the shed.

  On arrival we found the property to be very clean with a lovely welcome pack.

  Room by room :- The lounge was comfortable and actually seated eight people where many properties for eight don't. The bedrooms had comfortable beds but the smaller ones could do with more drawer space, only two very small drawers available. The bathrooms were lovely. and had everything we needed. The kitchen - great size fridge freezer, the table was fine for eight people ( just a little sticky - and the bench ! ) The hob was fine but we did have a problem with the oven when cooking for eight people it doesn't cook evenly on both sides so we had to repeatedly turn the trays round. The parking was a little tricky, we are four couples coming from different places so hence four cars however with some close manoeuvres we did manage to get the cars in. Overall a very nice property in a lovely location and fine for eight adults.

  Lovely modernised cottage perfectly situated just a step from the town centre. Open plan ground floor, kitchen, dining room and lounge combined with garden doors the length of the room makes for a light, airy social space. Three good bedrooms upstairs, well equipped with comfortable beds and quality linen. One ensuite and a bathroom. A flagged courtyard outside with garden furniture and BBQ is the ideal sheltered spot for dining al fresco. Everything was clean, well kept and fitted with quality furnishings and kitchen equipment. A perfect base for exploring the North Norfolk coastal area, whilst returning home each evening to be within walking distance of plentiful excellent restaurants and bars - including the fabulous Michelin starred 'Meadowsweet' just around the corner. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending.
