excellent standard of cleanliness, comfortable, stunning location. great Grade 2 Listed property, with fine detail.
A lovely cosy cottage in a great location for visiting all the attractions of N. Norfolk.
Beautiful cottage, well equipped with gorgeous private outdoor space. Peaceful location close to local amenities. Best welcome hamper in my experience!
Lovely stay and area and close to all. Pretty furniture, quite and very clean. Gorgeous
A luxurious and quality furnished cottage. A credit to the owners. Lots of nice personal touches and a very high quality hamper using local produce. Lovely relaxing garden. Good position - lots of local attractions in easy reach. TVs in the bedrooms would be the icing on the cake. Very comfortable although 5 adults might find it a little small but ideal for families. We intend to return.
A beautiful and private cottage that has been furnished with every attention to detail and to a very high standard. It is just as lovely as the pictures show. The garden was a joy, so peaceful and quiet and a great place to watch the birds. We did not experience any noise at all from the pub which is almost next door so that was great, and so easy to pop to for breakfast or an evening meal or just a drink in their garden. The main road is quite close so there is some road noise in the garden (none inside) but personally it didn't bother us. The stairs are very steep so it may not be ideal for the very young or the more senior, in no way a criticism just an observation that might help. The kitchen has everything you need should you get a desire to cook on holiday??? a bit short though on somewhere to store your own food apart from the fridge, however I am sure the owners will look at that and come up with a solution. Would I stay here again? Yes without hesitation. The cottage is just lovely and is located close to so many places to visit, a real holiday gem.
We really loved the cottage and the location, it was a beautiful property with a lovely garden and it really felt like the owners made a real effort to make it a home away from home; it had everything you needed and we ended up automatically assuming everything was there, even things like cling film, sponges, dish washer tablets, washing machine soap etc. Little luxuries like thick fluffy towels, soft cotton sheets, comfy beds etc just made the stay really relaxing and enjoyable. Location wise, Holt is a mile down the road and a pretty little town with a few nice coffee shops (Black Apollo is a tiny venue but amazing coffee), butchers, fishmongers etc. There's a nice farm shop around the corner too where you can dine in the cafe area or get fresh fruit, veg and meat supplies in the shop. It felt like a good location in Norfolk to explore too, the most we had to drive was an hour to Wells-next-the-sea so nothing was too far away. That's a beautiful beach with tons of parking, definitely recommend that too. The only negatives we could find were that the place was quite dirty, things like the floors weren't swept or mopped properly, under the dining table was missed, under the coffee table was missed, the high chair was dirty, dust everywhere. It felt like someone had cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen surfaces and then just quickly hoovered the floor. Also the cottage is attached to a bunch of other holiday cottages which didn't bother us but might bother some people if you don't want to see anyone. The garden is completely isolated and exclusive though and no other holiday tenants bothered us or made any noise. In summary we would definitely stay again and think the owners have gone above and beyond to make it a really lovely stay.
The cottage is lovely: clean, comfortable and well-supplied. My only negative comment would be that I hadn't realized how close it was to other rental units. I had thought it was a stand alone cottage.
Beautiful property and pretty garden with stream. Very steep stairs needs to be highlighted for elderly guests.
This was a beautiful cottage in a lovely location. We really enjoyed our stay. Overall we felt it was too small for five adults.
Beautiful place, warm and spacious, all conveniences of home
Lovely cottage - well equipped and very comfortable beds. Hamper was excellent - delicious cheese!
It was excellent. Beautifully presented and very comfortable.
Cosy cottage in excellent location. Beautifully appointed and comfortable.
Lovely little cottage, tastefully decorated and very clean. Would have given it excellent except the shower in the ensuite is a problem, the water leaks all over the floor - tray too shallow and screen too small so water squirts on to walls. Also some kitchen supplies which were mentioned as being included were missing (dishwasher tabs, washing powder and kitchen paper). I didn't bring them because the cottage info said they would be there.
