We had a lovely relaxed stay and ended up staying an extra couple of nights which our host organised for us when we requested this. The property had everything we needed and is in a peaceful location. Our dog enjoyed the garden. We liked the sun room and dining area in particular and spent most of our time there and in the garden. We did trips to Sea Palling, Cromer, Sheringham and Wroxham all within easy driving distance.

Perfect short break

Our first-ever visit to this part of North Norfolk, and this cottage provided the perfect base to explore the coast and surrounding countryside. Clean, comfortable and cosy but without being ‘over-fussy’meaning we could feel very relaxed about our two fully housetrained (but hairy) golden retrievers who had a wonderful time investigating the local fields and walks or chilling out in the secure garden.Would happily come and stay here again if the route from Wiltshire was less tortuous - it doesn’t look as though the Romans ever made it to Norfolk.

A very peaceful stay, very well equipped clean and comfortable accommodation. Perfect for a dog, enclosed garden. Close enough to the pub and ' The Fish Shop' (excellent value btw). Local walks and wildlife to look out for, Deers Hares and various birds. National trust membership is a good call for local locations, stately homes and grounds and some coastal locations. Lidl and Sainsbury's near enough for supplies. Look out for driveway honesty boxes, Jams and chutneys nearby, very good.Artisan cafe is nearby for breakfast/brunch, cakes, tea, very goodOverall, great value for money location, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, didn't need for anything else.Thank youHighly recommended

We could live there!

We absolutely loved this place. The location is virtually silent, an abundance of nature and wildlife, yet still only a lovely 20 min walk to a fantastic pub, and 20 mins drive to amazing beaches. We would live in this cottage if we could!

August break

Had a lovely midweek break, the location was perfect for us, tucked away in a peaceful haven with dog walks straight from the front door and a lovely enclosed garden that our grandson and dog thoroughly enjoyed and we spent most evenings sat outside . The included facilities and comfortable rooms made it feel like a home from home.

Little corner of tranquility

This is a quirky little cottage that has everything you need for a peaceful getaway. The location is outstanding, down a walkers track overlooking farmers fields. The beds were very comfortable and the master bedroom is especially nice.
