Superb little cottage just minutes from the beautiful town of Diss with quaint shops, grocery stores, and of course the chippies. Everything you could possibly need; clean, airy & spacious for a 1 bedroom. Perfect for a couple and pet friendly. Parking was easy, large kitchen, just adorable! The hosts were a delight and very welcoming & communicative. Loved being so close to everything like public transport (train into London), and yet in the gorgeous Norfolk countryside. We absolutely recommend and will return! Ty Carol & Phil!

I can't thought anything regarding the property, host or the price. We had a great time. I will more than likely go again in the future. Where the property is I don't think it will matter what time of year you go the property will have a nice feel to it. Also when you do go it's a home from home because it as everything you need in it already, much more than I thought it would have.Muchasan I though

VRBO didn't send us the security code to enter the property, and Carol was there straight away to let us in. Its a lovely quiet spot which is just what we needed. They had thought of everything and even left free eggs, biscuits and milk on arrival. Its such a cozy feel and very comfortable, we will definitely stay there again. Diss is very close by and has some lovely shops, and a great emporium. The pub has amazing views and menu too. We also visited Eye, which is a very quiet town but has a beautiful church and a norman castle ruin if that's your thing.

We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay, and we look forward to welcoming you again. (To be fair to VRBO I did contact them regarding key safe code issue, and they did send it via email together with arrival instructions 3 days prior.)

Lovely spacious holiday cottage that really does have everything you need for a relaxing few days away. Pretty south facing garden to relax in, which is also fenced to keep in smaller dogs. We liked the fact the cottage is rural yet only a short drive into Diss town centre for local shops and food outlets. Great communication from host.

A great countryside location and yet close to the town of Diss with lovely high st independent shops and 3 supermarkets. A delightful cottage with a pretty enclosed garden, it has everything to make you feel cosy and comfortable. Would recommend.
