  An absolutely lovely stay, thank you.

  We thoroughly appreciated the back story to the mansion and the great care taken in all the planning, design and maintenance of both the outside and inside including the beautiful main hall area. A great location for travel around the peninsula and into the western, central and northern lake districts; peaceful; and nearby shops within 10mins walking distance added to make our fortnight stay easy and relaxing. Thank you for the outdoor games too and getting more badminton nets. The means to chill outdoors as if in one's back garden really enhanced the whole experience. We thoroughly recommend it as a place to stay and wonder what all the other apartments are like! Some things perhaps to think about for enhancement might include: -check the cupboard light sensor in the bedroom with access to the outside. It wouldn't turn off or stay off, and we resorted to switching it off at the fuse box. Also, same bedroom, one of the bulbs in the ceiling light wouldn't turn off. -the sauce pans seem to leak water sometime after they've been washed and put back in the drawer. -perhaps reconsider the bedside light shade choices in the master bedroom as they're quite a glare. -the freezer is unfixed in the side and so pushes back, sometimes meaning the door doesn't shut fully unless you make a point of checking. -the fridge door may also need a check as that sometimes seems to not close easily even when it's been checked that no contents are preventing the door from closing well. That's all one can think of now. Minor things and none detracted from the enjoyment of our stay. (Please feel free to publish the first paragraph above and keep the enhancements list private.)

  Woodpecker is in a great location with peaceful surroundings and a fantastic rural view. The short walk down and around the lake was a hit with the kids. We were met with sunshine, showers and heavy wind at some points (March), but that didn’t stop us from firing up the hot tub (allow plenty of time for this) and jumping in it when the wind had died down and the sun came out, perfect! The honesty shop is fabulous for recharging the lanterns supplied and picking up any additional fire lighting equipment, candles, not to mention the games, books and even a fridge with designated shelf for each tent. With it being a March booking, we made use of the winter blankets and hot water bottles (very thankful for these!), also thankful for the unlimited logs to keep the log burner topped up. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, washing up liquid, hand soap and even kitchen roll. The gas stove was very handy for cooking (as well as on top of the stove), and boiling the kettle. We were very impressed with the toilet flush, lots of power considering it was in the middle of a field and the showers were also sufficient. The site manager was very attentive and was on hand if and when needed. I would definitely recommend this holiday to others and would love to stay again. Thank you Glamping Hideaways!

  A beautiful building in a good location.

  A 5 minute walk to the Aldi and Marks and Spencer supermarkets. Rowley suite is well equipped. We explored the lakes as far as buttermere and enjoyed some breathtaking walks and scenery. Rowley suite is looking a little tired and really could do with a new rug and scatter cushions in the lounge area as the current ones are shabby. New pillows, duvet and particularly bath towels need replacing as very worn. The reed diffuser in the entrance lobby was bone dry and had not been refilled, which is a shame as Wax Lyrical is only a couple of miles up the road and prices so very affordable. The biggest let down unfortunately was the noise coming from above Rowley suite. It was so bad that we convinced ourselves there must be workmen carrying out repairs or renovating the above accommodation. I did contact the owner of the problem and I believe Mike spoke to the family above and asked them to stop it but unfortunately the problem only became worse over our week stay causing a real noise pollution. We made the most of our time exploring what the lake district has to offer but unfortunately it is with a heavy heart that we wouldn't return due to the disturbance of unacceptable noise. We wish Mike and his team continued success. Many thanks.

  One of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in and we have stayed in a lot! The Homestead is so well equipped - we haven't had any problems. The dogs have loved their freedom of the garden and we have felt confident that they were safe. The loungers are so comfortable. We've been lucky to have two weeks of almost continuos sunshine and the house has provided us with cool spaces, the garden both sunny & shady spots. We've taken advantage of our NT membership and had some lovely walks at Blickling and Felbrigg. Paretically enjoyed the lakeside walk at Blickling and a short driveway the great wood on the estate. Holkham Hal lis worth a visit - lake walk and if you walk up into the woods you are almost certain to come across the deer. There are dog friendly beaches at Mundesley, Cromer, Overstrand and The Doggy Diner in Cromer is well worth a visit - super dog friendly - they have a menu for the dogs. Just down the road is Groupful Farm Shop, Cafe and there is a pet store. Highly recommend the Butchers meat. The Vernon Arms in the village does fab food, is dog friendly. The village shop has an excellent range of goods and is reasonably priced. Thank you to the owner of the Homestead, it is a gem.
