A wonderful little cottage, that gave us a quackingly good weekend away. It was warm, comfortable and cosy. Well equipped and clean. Lovely host who left milk and biscuits on our arrival. Introduced herself and we knew if we had any issues we could just ask. Had a very fabulous meal at The Rising Sun public house, and throughly good fish and chips from Jeffery’s. Both in Coltishall. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend.
