    The cottage was a delight and perfect for our walking holiday in Norfolk with our German Shepherd. The laminate and tile floors make it a perfect place to stay with a dog as there isn’t a fear of muddy footprints in the carpet, hard to avoid in all the wet weather recently, and easy to clean up with a quick wash through with the mop. The cakes were a nice touch and the cottage was lovely and warm when we arrived and continued to be that way throughout our stay. A thoroughly nice stay and we hope to return again later in the year. Thank You.

    Nice cottage in a good location - very handy the Lidl at the end of the road Cottage clean and tidy - was a little worried when we saw the hot water bottle each! Few small maintenance issues which we could see in the maintenance book had not been resolved adequately, and were still an issue Shame the cottage was so cold on arrival, however, did not take long to heat up - all radiators were set to zero. Would’ve liked a basic guide on the dishwasher/oven/boiler + heating - even if this was the owner’s words on how best to use these. Back bedroom the coldest and also the bathroom.

    The beds with the feather pillows were very comfortable and we had the best nights sleep for ages, it’s so peaceful and quiet. The stairs are quite steep which was ok for us but might not be so good for very elderly or very young guests. We had a wonderful week in a lovely cottage in a great location.
