We would recommend this cottage as was such a great location for seeing the area. The cottage was very clean and had every facility you would need. The garden was very secluded and lovely patio to sit out on an evening. Good off street parking also. Great bathroom and shower.

Lovely old cottage,slightly smaller than expected but big enough for us(3 adults and a dog). Garden was great for the dog although he did escape into the garden on the right through a small gap in the fence behind a tree.We did manage to sit out 2 nights between the showers and it got the sun right up to 6 o'clock. Situated on a quiet road I walkRead moreed the dog from the cottage every morning approx 3 miles circular. Loads of walks within a short drive which I found on the All trails app.Horsey windmills and dunes walk approx 9km long with loads of seals on the beach at Horsey. There appeared to be shot gun blasts starting from 5am every morning but we later found out that it was something set up to scare the birds from the farmers fields. Main bedroom was fine however the floor does slope and you can feel it while lying in the bed,but it's an old building and just adds to its character. We did have a few ants in the kitchen when we put the dogs food out the first night but it is in the countryside and we just fed him outside after that so no problem. There is Ant spray in the kitchen but we didn't want to use it with the dog about. All in all its a great cottage and we never had to call the hosts for anything. We would highly recommend it Hide
