The Hayloft in Thetford, Norfolk, is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and dog-friendly amenities. Guests appreciate the warm hospitality from the host Karen, the well-equipped property, and the added luxury of a hot tub. The enclosed paddock and agility setup are a hit with dog owners, while the cottage's cosy atmosphere and thoughtful touches, such as a chocolate cake, enhance the stay.
Reviewers consistently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'spotlessly clean' and 'beautifully clean', indicating a very high standard of hygiene and care.
The location is praised for its idyllic setting and proximity to local areas and attractions. However, some guests noted the need to drive to nearby walks, slightly impacting the score.
Guests frequently commend the comfort of the cottage, highlighting 'big comfy beds', 'crisp white bed linen', and 'great sink-in sofas'. The cosy and homely feel contributes to a high comfort rating.
The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen, hot tub, and dog agility area, receive high praise. The mention of a 'hazard' cooker hood and the desire for bathrobes slightly affect the score.
The host's thoughtfulness is evident through gestures like a welcome chocolate cake. While such gifts are appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every stay. The overall experience reflects a considerate approach to guest comfort.

What a lovely find, the cottage was amazing, Karen was very welcoming, dogs are well catered for with plenty of space for them to run around, plenty of parking right by the front door, lovely little private garden just for you as well as the bigger garden, beds are lovely, nothing negative about the cottage and will hopefully go back in the future

The bonus was having the dog field available for us to use daily. The cottage was comfortable and cozy and made for a relaxing break. Friendly helpful owners with lots of information provided.
