  Lovely barn conversion, a bit too remote for us, nothing around us not even good dog walks.

  When the other barns are completed it ( a project in hand) it might be worth thinking about an area for a pool and table tennis table for something to do as it’s so remote especially for teenagers. A couple of tips for things required in the kitchen, cooking tongs, pizza wheel, kitchen roll holder and we left a fly swot as there are so many flies, obviously because you are on a working farm, but an electric wall mounted fly zapper would be a great idea. It could have been cleaner, fridge and freezer were in need of a clean out, I don’t like showering with other peoples hairs( just a pet hate) and a hoover under the sofas would be good as we had to move them about so my elderly father could see the tv from the only armchair as the sofas are not very comfortable, and it was not clean under the sofas. Also an Alexa would be great for news and music, also a washing line and I would think a sun shade to be able to sit outside on the very nice garden furniture when it’s sunny. The mauve flower borders are lovely !! All in all we had a lovely stay despite the rain and these are not to be seen as criticisms as it’s a lovely barn and the lay out is very well thought of just tweeks the owners might like to take on board, thank you for a lovely stay

  This was a lovely property when having family come to Norwich to visit for my birthday.

  The property itself is lovely and in a great location for Norwich. It's very close to shops and pubs nearby in Fakenham. The facilities could have been better in terms of what I would consider the basics for a self catering property. We only had 3 rolls of toilet roll for a 4 bed property that we booked for a week for 9 people. Although there is a dishwasher, there was no dish towels or clothes for cleaning down surfaces, drying dishes or washing a few individual items that is too little to run a dishwasher for. The bins didn't have liners in when we arrived and were very dirty. This wasn't great when we were asked to take the rubbish out before checking out. The microwave was also very dirty and needed to be cleaned before we used it as there was lots of food splattered on the inside. There was also no shower gel and not all of the hand soap dispensers had soap in them. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend this property, but these small details are things that could be improved to make that slight difference and show more attention to detail!

  We booked this property at the last minute and somewhat spontaneously when my wife found it.

  It looked fantastic in the pictures and was even better in the flesh. Although it may not look large from the outside it is very extensive and has some really nice features. There were only three of us and the dog most of the time although the in-laws came for a few days too. There is plenty of space and rooms for everyone to have a bit of private time or to come together as you want. It is equipped with everything you may need and the owners couldn't be nicer or more accommodating. Personally I loved the courtyard for a spot of afternoon reading whilst watch the fish, but be warned it is a sun trap ! Our son loved the hot tub, which was lovely and big enough for all of us without feeling like we were sitting on top of each other - who needs a pool when you just want to relx in the water ? I cannot recommend the property enough, it is immaculate, tastefully furnished and immensely welcoming - you felt at home and comfortable as you walk through the door....I miss the courtyard already and we only left this morning !

  My friends & I go away every year and we all agreed this was the best cottage to date.

  The house is beautiful and ticks all our key cottage boxes; hot tub (huge), real fire, close to country pubs (a short drive) country walks & ample sofas (the amount of places that don’t have enough sofas for the number of people they sleep is madness). It’s also dog friendly, there’s multiple bathrooms/toilets, even a mini garden with a beautiful fish pond (great for a morning coffee) in addition to the main. It’s quiet and we slept like logs. The main garden was also great for star gazing given little light pollution in the area (also great from the hot tub with a glass of fizz). Parking was also great as we have 4 cars which all easily fit on the guest drive. Whilst slightly tricky to find, once there it’s easy. The owners Michelle & Stephen are lovely and were quick to respond when we had a query, they couldn’t be any more helpful, plus provided welcome fizz & milk. We loved our weekend and have discussed returning, it was perfect.

  Lovely chalet and perfect for beach stay.

  Beach is super close and accessed through back of chalet park no more than 5 mins away. Chalets are quite close together but not a problem everyone is super friendly. Really comfortable stay and Suzanne has done a great job with decor and beds etc only small (and I do mean super small) observation is that the cream sofa smells a lot of dog which transferred to clothes so used a throw to cover it up. Fridge/freezer still had food from previous people and the shower was sandy however these we quickly fixed. Couple of hints for next guests is when you get to the chalet park turn right into the estate the numbers are not in order and Suzanne’s beach hut numbers are rubbed away. Also, be very careful on steps outside they are not very wide and are made of decking but are fine to use. Overall thank you so much Suzanne great base for a fabulous holiday!
