  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.

  The double bed was very uncomfortable, and upon inspection so were the single beds .

  The duvet on the double bed was 13.5tog, which was excessive in summer - especially in the hot weather at the beginning of July. We could not wait to get home to our own bed! Recommend the mattresses were replaced and 'combination' duvets are used. The area around the outside door was really thick with dead rose petals and leaves, the garden furniture was dirty and a few chairs were covered in bird droppings, making it unusable, which was disappointing in the hot weather. Some cupboard space for our own dry goods, in the kitchen would have been appreciated too. Also, the electrical switches were not in obvious places, so labelling would have been a good idea. Parking was tricky - the gateway was only just wide enough for our large car, and there was just enough space for 1 medium and 1 large car on the gravel. The windows (velux) were very dirty too.

  Living in a detached house in a small village near York, it was something of a gamble to rent this terraced house in the middle of a town.

  On the first night, we ordered an Indian takeaway, walked in the wrong direction down Town Lane and got lost for a whole hour. When we finally collected our meal and found Ted's Place we thought we had locked myself out and Sarah's husband had to let us in. This is a lovely property, which had everything we could have dreamed of and we ultimately enjoyed a fantastic week. The neighbours (we are very detached from them at home), got up early and woke us up. Their dogs barked and made my dog bark. People walked past the windows, front and back. They were however really nice, friendly people, as were all of the other people we met in Aylsham. Bottom line is, we enjoyed ourselves so much that we want to come back next year, if you will have us. P.S. Thank you for all the goodies you left for us.

  Sweet Briar Farm was a pleasant surprise.

  Dave, the owner, met my wife to welcome us soon very soon after our arrival. It is set in a nice country lane but is not hard to find nor too far from the local village. The cottage was very clean with all furniture etc. in nice condition. We think the conversion is very well done; it feels as though it has always been a dwelling. Plenty of crockery, cutlery and so on is provided and we din't really need anything else. Coltishall is fairly central for visiting around Norfolk's attractions and very close to Wroxham, one of the main places to hire boats for the Broads. We could have arrived pretty much anytime after 4PM as the key is in a keysafe by the gate. Thanks Dave; we had a nice week based at Sweet Briar.
