The cottage is very comfortable, well equipped and in a quiet hamlet just outside Coltishall, which has a good range of local shops and places to eat. Our host and neighbours were welcoming and very considerate, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All of us would happily return for another visit and have no hesitation in recommending it to others.
