  • "Thoroughly enjoyed our stay the property was just what we needed as we had two elderly relatives with us and having no stairs and easy access was ideal."

    The property was lovely and warm, very well equipped couldn't want for anything more, have already recommended you to other family members. Thankyou for a lovely stay. Yvonne and family.

  • "Lovely comfortable and well equipped, only down side was a smell of damp in the bedroom, the heating was on a timer so it was a bit chilly first thing, and the vinyl floor was coming unglued which is a possible trip hazard."

    But it was really nice and would not hesitate to book again.

  • "Our stay at Beechwood was enjoyable."

    The cottage was comfortable and well equipped though a bit outdated. Everything you needed was there. The children’s slide platform had some loose planks which need repairing. It was a very large area for children to play in. It also had a locked gate which was a plus point from a safety point of view. The garden area outside the cottages was lovely & well maintained. I especially liked the added security of electronic gates to enter the site.

    Thank you for your kind comments regarding your stay at Beechwood. We are pleased to hear that your stay was enjoyable and your children enjoyed playing in our play area. We have asked our maintenance man to visit to ensure that the slide platform is fixed. Property Owner

If there was to be any criticism ,no views from the bedroom windows,a nice hedge wouldn't go amiss. Great location,quiet,many places to visit,wonderful coastline. Many thanks

  • "We arrived at the cottage on Sunday late afternoon, which was warm."

    There was a pint of milk in the fridge for that first cuppa ✔️ We explored the rooms, all nice and clean. Just a few cobwebs on those high beams. The pictures actually don't justify how big bedrooms 2 and 3 are. Towels were provided. However, a bath sheet would've been better for us tall, big people. Also, the height of some of the mirrors is a bit low for us 5ft 10 inches plus people. But that's just being picky. Furthermore, only one spare toliet roll was provided in the main bathroom. We were there for 5 nights. I don't know if the owner believed there was still more from the previous visitor's? Again, being picky. The ensuite to the main bedroom had a slight safety issue for me. An earth wire is coming up to the radiator through the laminate on the left side as you face it. Was unsure what that was about. But we had a young toddler with us, and she could have been curious about it. We all slept well. The 4 posted bed is a bit squeeky. A cot and a high chair were provided that we requested ✔️ The living room was comfortable, especially the armchair. Our daughter loved the book shelf, it even came with some jigsaws that she could try. Information book had detailed instructions about the appliances in the property. Not so much about places to eat, attractions and the nearest big supermarket. There were some leaflets about some attractions, but I believe a visitors book or another folder would be a great idea. Over-all, it was a lovely property to use as a base to explore Norfolk and visit family in Norwich.

    Thank you for taking the time to write feedback, we rely on this to maintain the standard of our properties. First of all, I arranged for an electrician to come out to have a look at that earth wire and he has deemed it perfectly safe but has secured it and made it more visible. Towels are provided as stated on the website, we recommend that if guests would prefer bath sheets, they bring their own. We are glad that you were happy with the cleanliness, unfortunately in these rural areas cobwebs do show up within a matter of hours and are particularly difficult to get to on those high beams, our cleaning team do try their best to keep them at bay. In addition, we will certainly consider proving some more tourist information for guests in the future. Once again we thank you for your feedback and hope you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "The cottage wasn't very clean on our arrival."

    Mirrors smudged and hairball s on the carpet in the main bedroom. Also the shower in the main bathroom didn't produce any hot wzter. Cottage well equipped and the area very peaceful could do with.more lighting in l?living room. Main .com Paint was the condition of the mattresses. Extremely soggy and comfortable. They should have been replaced aged ago.

    Reviewed by John2.2Aug 2022

  • "I have marked comfort down for a specific reason."

    Assuming you don't have a back problem then both the mattress and sofa are very comfortable. However, if like me, you do suffer from back issues then you will find there is insufficient support in either of them. Given that these are single storey units and advertise disability provision then the target market is likely to be elderly with ageing issues.. The very segment of the population that needs firmer support. This is meant to be constructive criticism for the owners who otherwise might find that repeat business is not as high as they anticipated.

    It was a lot more spacious than we expected which was super. It was immaculately clean, warm and had everything we needed for the week. The play area for the children was great and hearing the children playing with friends from the neighbouring cottages was so lovely. Wood Norton is a very quiet and beautiful village. Each day it was often a 30 minute to the beaches and areas we wanted to visit which was fine. We were so blessed with the weather and Norfolk truly is incredible to explore.

    Beechwood is larger than the pictures would have you think, as it goes back a long way. We were a family of 6 plus a baby and there was ample room. The kitchen/lounge layout was great, providing a good community feel during pre and post meal times, the watching TV. The master bedroom was very large, the second bedroom was large and the third was typical double size. It is a warm cottage due to its recent building standards. Access to the site and cottage was easy, although being in Norfolk, it was 10 plus miles to anywhere of interest. We would recommend the Sculthorpe Community Nature Reserve and their Hawk and Owl Trust. Very easy access for wheelchairs etc and long flat walks with hides to watch the wild life. Also the faltish walk out on the Blakeney Nature reserve. Take the Back Lane turning by the Blakeney Church to go to the harbour side. We had a long walk and a good lunch at the harbour side hotel. Can't remember it's name.

Sympathetically converted from former farm buildings, these single-storey cottages are ideally suited for those wishing to explore the glorious North Norfolk coastline and the picturesque, historic nearby market towns of Fakenham and Holt. Each of these cottages offer bright, spacious accommodation, traditionally furnished with modern facilities.

With miles of sandy beaches and majestic dunes, these cottages are ideally placed for taking boat trips to see the seals or simply visiting the RSPB reserves and coastal paths. Well worth a visit is the historic city of Norwich, with its magnificent cathedral towering above the surrounding medieval streets hosting museums, galleries and excellent shopping facilities.
