A very well equipped cottage with everything you could want in the kitchen . A very good selection of books in the library and absolutely loved playing the piano! Very dog friendly with a well appreciated surprise of dog toys, poop bags and bowls. A lovely welcome pack which would have kept the pair of us going for a couple of days if we didn’t want to immediately get to the supermarket. Housekeeper was very helpful and neighbours friendly. I don’t think this cottage would suit anyone with a balance or reduced mobility issue as there is a step into the living room and upstairs, there is a deep step down and up again on the upstairs landing without any handrails between the first bedroom and both bathrooms. Tesco supermarket within easy driving distance and discovered a terrific county park at Holt where we ran our dog many times. Absolutely loved the peace and quiet of the location and the small green area within a few paces from the cottage is also worth a look.

Well appointed and spacious cottage with quality furnishings and very comfortable bed. There were two of us in a cottage for four people. The kitchen would have been rather small to accommodate four people cooking together. Lovely garden to cottage which marketing photo didn’t do justice to at all. Photos on internet did not reflect the fact that brand new curtains and blinds had been fitted in the cottage. New updated photos required. Very pretty and quiet location. Fabulous deli|\farm shop in nearby in village of Letheringset. An area with lots to see and do. We didn’t feel the welcome pack was of the usual Rural Retreats standard with poor quality bread and cheap tea bags. Minor point though.

The cottage is gorgeous and homely, very cosy and the garden is pretty, sunny and secure, perfect for the children and the dog. Piano was a lovely surprise. The location was very quiet and rural. A 15 min drive into Holt for food and shops and 30 mins to the lovely beaches. Good cycling/walking for families at Holkham, about 30-40 mins drive away We had a wonderful few days and would definitely return. Thank you for a great break away from the city! A few small suggestions below would make it even more wonderful. Welcome hamper was very much appreciated but would have been lovely to have local produce rather than generic brands. Also, some sugar would have been good. Bathroom with roll top bath is lovely and the bath is very comfortable and water lovely and hot. But the window really needs a net curtain or obscured glass……not really practical to constantly roll down the blackout blinds during the day every time you/kids need the loo. The double bed in the second bedroom is a bit too small for two ‘almost’ teenagers (boy and girl) to share. It was just about ok, but perhaps it would be an idea to have twin beds in one of the rooms if wanting to attract families. It might be a good idea to turn on central heating a while before guests arrive. Despite the heating being on when we arrived, the first evening was freezing as the cottage hadn’t yet heated up. However, it was lovely and warm after that. Instructions for log burners would be helpful.
