Had a lovely week at Bumble Bee cottage in Dereham.The owners have put together a huge range of amenities to cater for a large group/family. From every kitchen mod con to kids entertainment like PS3 and outdoor games, allowing for comfort and entertainment. It was clean and the owners supplied a mix of welcome treats which was welcomed, loved the local Apple juice. The hot tub is a treat as well as the outdoor goal post and field which we played in daily.Gill the owner was easily contactable and kept good communications with us when needed.We will definitely return.
