Beautiful cottage in a lovely quiet unspoilt area. The cottage provided everything we needed for our stay, the bed was comfortable and the shower very efficient. We enjoyed the walk to the beach everyday and a walk to Blakeney. The Harnser next door was great for breakfast and the Picnic Fayre shop in the village was well stocked and has lovely homRead moree made cakes. We had a lovely relaxing week and was very fortunate with some nice weather. We would definitely return here. Thanks for our holiday. Hide

The cottage was fabulous. My only criticism is that it seems too late in the day after a long drive to only say the cottage can be accesses at 5 pm. When guests have to vacate the following Friday at 10 am we loose a day of our one week holiday. I understand that cleaning needs to be done but it would be reasonable to expect to be able to get into Read morea cottage by at least three pm giving cleaning team at least five free hours.

We loved the cottage, and found it very comfortable and quiet. Location is very good, and we managed to park on the road nearby all the time. Not good for folk who cannot manage steep stairs, but the owners had provided everything and more for a self catering holiday in a beautiful and tranquil part of North Norfolk, where dogs are welcome.

A very peaceful place, very well situated to walk from with our dog. Well equipped generally with comfortable beds. There are very strict instructions in the property to not allow your dog either upstairs or on the furniture, so if you have a small, anxious dog then possibly not ideal.
