Lovely quirky cottage in a small hamlet. Very pretty internally with lovely furnishing and log fires. Kitchen very well stocked with equipment but I would have liked some clear workspace and we all suffered from a non dog environment which I hadn’t thought off before. Saying that we had a lovely break and I would recommend the cottage to anyone. Good area for discovering Norfolk.
Had a fantastic stay at Pillar Box House. Beautiful property with everything you need to make it the perfect home from home. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and the dogs weren’t left out with treats for them too. We loved the hot tub after a long day out and also cosying up next to the log fire. The cottage is in a great spot near to Norwich and the Norfolk Broads. The house has lots of quirky little rooms and it was spacious and spotlessly clean. All in all a perfect stay.
Lovely house, quirky and well decorated. We loved how well equipped it was, especially the kitchen and the log fires. Loved the Christmas decorations. Beautiful details and furniture. Comfortable beds. Nice touch with the hamper. The wifi was essential considering the lack of phone signal. We needed more information about how things worked and the local area. For example, we had to search the internet for instructions for the range cooker as these were not provided. We struggled to find the light switches for the hot tub area. We would have loved to do some local walks, but all the information provided focused on “Norfolk Hideaways “ properties in North Norfolk and not local to Wymondham area. The road noise was also very loud at night in some bedrooms. The fridge leaked in the evening (we informed the owner.) Overall though, a brilliant property and perfect for our family Christmas celebrations.
Beautiful old property, creaky floorboards, lots of quirks & very low head higher, this gave it great character! very well equipped we wanted for nothing - lovely welcome hamper. Everything was very clean.
What a wonderful , well appointed, charming , beautiful house in a lovely part of the country . Plenty of room . Great hot tub . Lots of personal touches. Was great to cook in the kitchen . Relax outside or in the lounges. Bedrooms were beautifully done . We were 7 girlfriends having a get together . So easy to book . Good communication. Clean & the lovely basket 🧺 of goodies was a lovely touch. Thank you x
Lovely accommodation and would stay again. Clean, spacious, generous welcome hamper and gorgeous rooms with space.
Pillar Box House had just the right amount of space as was needed and was wonderfully cozy for the chilly evenings. The suggestions we have for improvement are relatively minor: 1. the loo seat upstairs kept falling off its pegs, 2. the anteroom to the shower could have done with a curtain that could be drawn across it to give privacy, 3. the lighting over the kitchen table could do with improvement. Though there were two 3 candle candlesticks, one was unusable because it tilted and the only candles around were v. short candle stubs. We were able to buy tea lights the following day so the problem was resolved by the second evening. On the whole, we had a lovely family stay.

You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
