Beautiful cottage in rural north norfolk. Stayed for 3 nights and had a fabulous time. Every detail was met with plenty of towels, clean bed linen and the kitchen full of utensils. Even a hairdryer. Heating was easy to adjust and there was a welcome pack of goodies from the owner. Nice touch. TV worked well and managed to log in to Netflix. LocRead moreation was perfect for us Wells next to Sea was an 8 min drive and Holt about 22 min drive. Enough parking for 2 cars on drive. Would definitely recommend and would consider hiring the cottage again in the future. Hide

The cottage is in a lovely position on the edge of the village. The cottage has a well equipped modern kitchen with a comfortable sitting area and dining room as well as a large TV lounge. A lovely welcome pack of local goodies was very much appreciated.

We spent Christmas here with our Family and had a lovely time. The cottage was tastefully decorated for Christmas, spacious, well equiped with comfortable beds. Good location to explore the area. Nice local pub, the Carpenters Arms.

The house was very spacious and a pleasure to stay in, well equipped and comfortable. My poor rating is more to do with the agent's service. I emailed a couple of times but didn't get a particularly prompt response, e.g. the last time I waited 14 days and had to follow up to prompt a response. I also found it quite difficult to get information fRead morerom your 'help desk' about the property, e.g. I asked more about the coffee making facilities advertised in the website description, and was told that you didn't know; the person responding had checked the website photos to see what they could find out (as you keep no kitchen itinerary) and they suggested I bring any equipment with me. I brought coffee pods but they were too small for the machine. It's info like this which is really useful and make the difference in enjoying the whole holiday or needing to go out and search in local shops for the appropriate item, eating into the holiday time. We also found the checkin times very late and the checkout time too early, so found value for money quite poor when paying for a night's stay when the checkin time is 4pm - especially when trying to coordinate young children's routine.

The property was much larger than it looks from the photos and the house was very clean and well equipped. The 'Welcome' Basket of goodies was a nice touch and my children enjoyed the Norfolk cookies! Beware though, the garden is very small with not really anywhere to sit comfortably. Not safe for young children as you can't close the gates if you Read morehave 2 cars on the small driveway otherwise you will need to park outside the property on the road. The house is ideally situated and only a 5 minute drive to Wells Next-The-Sea. The local pub, The Carpenter's Arms is a fabulous place to dine and only a 5 minute walk through the pretty village. We thoroughly enjoyed our round of golf at Fakenham Golf Club too - pretty little course, not too taxing and very friendly staff. We also ventured down to Yarmouth for an evening of greyhound racing - a really fun time and restaurant food was excellent. Hide
