The owners had made some changes and it was even better than we expected. The beds were very comfortable and with en-suite bathrooms no need to make a trek to the main bathroom. The combined lounge dinner is big with plenty of room for 6 people. Dishwasher is very handy. Washing machine and tumble drier means you donât have to take so much clothing. Everything was clean and tidy. And did I mention the garden? Thatâs very pleasant too with table and chairs for sunny days. Everything we needed was at hand with shopping centres only a 10-15 drive away. The owners are friendly and very accommodating. If / when we go back to Norfolk we know where weâre going. I heartily recommend this cottage with its long corridor which is something else!

No welcome basket. No guest book to record our feelings about the property. No guide to any of the appliances. No heating in the property, bearing in mind we are all in our 70's, rectified after contact with Sykes via email from the owner- she only lives less than 100yards from the property. Don't know when the bed linen was last replaced? It is all on its last legs. Have Sykes carried out a recent inspection on the property? We have stayed at many Sykes properties, but this falls way below your usual standards.

However in the three days we spent there, we found interesting walks and the property is very spacious. Two very adequate bathrooms and a shower room however no shelves or cupboards in these rooms so nowhere to put things. We brought a small folding table to put our toiletries on. We were cold, mainly because of the french doors in bedrooms and lounge, glass is very cold at night. Everything very clean. The local pub caters for high end customers. Need to drive a few miles to get groceries.
