Very helpful and friendly owners, clean and comfortable cottage with everything needed for your stay

Very helpful and friendly owners, clean and comfortable cottage with everything needed for your stay provided. Including a tasty home made bread loaf and some really scrumptious biscuits. Set in a nice quiet area but with shops, restaurants etc not far away. We enjoyed a relaxing holiday here and hope to return in the near future. Thank you for making us feel welcome.

Very helpful owners, offering lockup space for bicycles. House well equipped and clean. On a quiet road with views of green fields. Shops in Dereham about 2km away. Took a little time to get used to the low ceilings

Just lovely

A really lovely Cottage to stay in, and is ideally paced to explore the surrounding area in all directions. Our Hosts Tina & Paul really made us welcome, the Cottage filled with everything you could possibly need for a self catering stay. A really quiet place, except for the wildlife of course. Everything was just as we wanted for our kind of holiday. Thank you Tina & Paul for making our time in Norfolk special. V&A

Perfect location in the middle of Norfolk as we wanted to cover all of the County day to day.

Perfect location in the middle of Norfolk as we wanted to cover all of the County day to day. A lovely couple who would do anything for you. Lovely Cottage, very clean except a little dust on the bathroom floor in the corners, but as everywhere else was spotless then presume their cleaners accidentally missed. The little accessories they provided was very impressive, we weren’t expecting, it the little things that count. They make you feel as comfortable at the cottage than you would be at home with the quality, not like other accommodations where you get cheap rubbish. Overall.....a big 5* and I would definite look to book at Glen Cottage if we do Norfolk again. And I forgot the dog too, if you have a doggy, they provide for you dog too, which is tops...! ??????

We had a wonderfully relaxing week in this Cottage.

We had a wonderfully relaxing week in this Cottage. One of the best we have stayed in. The location overlooks fields, has its own parking space and was very quiet. The welcome was so genuine and the freshly baked bread was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. The furniture was comfortable, it was spotlessly clean with all the equipment you could need. We were able to use the garden which was a great bonus. Many places to visit that were close by. Some we revisited and still more new experiences. And at the end of the day ..a perfect bed to sleep in. We shall return.

A relaxing , comfortable , warm cottage .

A relaxing , comfortable , warm cottage . Plenty of space for two people with excellent facilities. The cottage is well situated for exploring Norfolk, close to good amenities but within a semi - rural locality. The owners are excellent hosts, welcoming and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely visit again.
