• "A wonderful location and accommodation in which we spent our 60th wedding anniversary."

  Very nice welcome from the owners Mark and Melanie and a very quick response to a minor problem with a light bulb. I would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday in a lovely village well placed for access to the coast. We don't have young children but the facilities for children are extremely good. A definite 5 star rating from us..

• "This was our second visit to Dove's Nest and the first time we have ever stayed in the same property again which speaks volumes for how fabulous it is."

  It is so spacious and well equipped, perfect for our party of three generations. The owners obviously take note of feedback and make improvements. Last year I commented that the double bedroom would benefit from having a chest of drawers. There was one this time! Others had said that the garden needed to be more secure. Gates have been fitted since last year! We have booked again for next year!

• "Driving up the very well maintained private cul-de-sac Dove’s Nest is the last property on the left."

  The description given on the website is so accurate. The garden and grounds were immaculate as was the bungalow. I cannot find fault with our week. This property is highly recommended. It was so peaceful and private. Lots of things to do within easy reach. The village itself boasts most of what you might need including good pubs (food at the Kings Head was particularly excellent) as were both the Chinese and Chip Shop takeaways. We intend to return for a second stay.

  It has a beautiful well maintained garden with seating areas. Children are catered for to with a fabulous play shed. I would definitely recommend this property.

• "We had a lovely time at Dove's Nest, and the hosts extended a warm welcome even before we arrived."

  The cottage was spotlessly clean, furnished with everything you need, and it is well located near the amenities in the village. It's also really private and quiet. We enjoyed the lovely little touches - the welcome tray treats and the knee trays for tea in front of the telly and breakfast in the conservatory. We would thoroughly recommend Dove's Nest and would definitely book again if in this part of the world. Thank you!

• "Where do I begin!"

  Dove's Nest exceeded all our hopes and expectations. So spacious, so clean and so suitable for our extended family holiday in every way. Dove’s Nest was so thoughtfully and tastefully decorated for Christmas, and Mark and Melanie provided such lovely Christmas treats including crackers, Christmas colouring books etc. The large toy cupboard was so popular with our grandsons and also the toys, games outside and all the space outside to play. We would come back to Dove’s Nest with no hesitation and in fact our daughter and son in law and their four young children have already booked for next Easter. Many thanks to Mark and Melanie to all they are doing to provide a relaxing family holiday where, as guests, you feel it is so important to the owners that you are comfortable and happy.

• "The property was immaculately clean on arrival and had everything we could possibly need."

  The owners must have put a lot of time and effort in to making this a real home from home. Lots of extra touches to make it feel comfortable. There was a bouquet of flowers in a vase on the table and in the kitchen a gift basket with a bottle of local wine and hand made Norfolk cookies plus other goodies which were very much appreciated. The owners texted to let us know that the property was ready for us earlier than expected which was very thoughtful and they let us know that we could contact them if needed which was not necessary. We have already recommended this holiday home to friends and family and would definitely visit again

• "We loved the cottage and it worked very well for us as a family group, especially the many games, trains etc which our grandchildren loved!"

  The garden was lovely and very peaceful, ideally we would have liked a fully secure garden but we were able to create a visual boundary which the children obeyed but which younger children may not understand. That said it's a safe road and we had no real concerns. I also found the king-size bed a bit firm but I can see that this may be a matter of personal preference. We really appreciated the text message saying the cottage was ready and welcome gifts and we would stay again. Thank you!

• "This is a brilliant property in a good location for exploring in all directions."

  It is really spacious inside and out. It is very well equipped with attention to detail. There is lots of seating, even under cover outside. There are toys, including table football, books, games and DVDs. My one wish would be for a chest of drawers in the double bedroom, but otherwise there is lots of storage. We would definitely rent it again.

  The owner clearly takes pride in the presentation of this property and secluded garden.The weather was kind, allowing us to use the garden and conservatory in the evenings. The village of Martham has all the facilities needed for those on holiday and the cottage is ideally placed for visiting the Broads and the coast.

• "I cannot rate this cottage highly enough."

  It was clean, spacious and had everything you could possibly need. It was suitable for any age and the games room kept our 2 year old so we'll entertained to the point he didn't want to go out on days out because he was having far to much fun in the garden. The garden is very well kept with plenty of seating areas for all weathers. Our elderly relatives settled in very well too and were sad to leave. Amazing place.

• "We were all really impressed with the cleanliness and how well equipped Doves Nest was."

  We felt very at home and comfortable throughout out stay. And very welcome by the wonderful tray of treats and milk in the fridge, we also had a minor leak in the porch which was sorted within an hour! Our only negative was the garden not being secure, with having a little one running round, we would have liked a secured garden if there in the summer.

  The property was very clean and tidy and very well equipped. On arrival we found the property warm and cosy, with an excellent welcome tray of drinks and snacks. A nice touch was the vase of fresh flowers on the dining table which lasted all week!! The accomodation was very comfortable throughout. We enjoyed taking breakfast in the conservatory which benefited from the full morning sun. The village of Martham is attractive with a good range of shops and local facilities. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Dove's Nest. Many thanks to Mark and Melanie

• "This is a great place for feeling at home away from home."

  The place is very generously laid out, with lots of room and lots of different corners to chill out in. There's a garden all the way around and lots of sheds and outbuildings for extra storage or sitting space. The kitchen is very well stocked with all the appliances and cutlery you could wish for. A lovely welcome tray with wine, chocolate, juice and biscuits awaited us and everything had been decorated nicely for the Christmas season. The place is close to amenities, yet feels very private and secluded. It's a great base for exploring the Broads.

• "We had an absolutely wonderful time at Dove's Nest."

  Lots of reviews have said how peaceful, well-equipped and perfectly-located the place is and we completely agree. Here is a little more feedback about why it was a brilliant stay for our family (including a 3-year-old and a 6-month-old): - It's all on the ground floor - travel cot and high chair provided (could have been brand new it was so well-kept!) - children's games room kept our child entertained even on rainy days - carpets & soft-close doors meant we could walk around without disturbing the baby's naps - so many large radiators meant just 1 hour with the thermostat on in the morning and 1 hour in the evening kept the house toasty and also meant we could wash 2 days' worth of clothes for a family of 4 and still have room for towels. - big, private garden (photos don't do it justice). Not overlooked at all. We would definitely love to return.

  Very good location. Spacious, freshly decorated and everything seems new. More than everything you need for a week or two away. Very nice welcoming pack. The only slight criticism was the kingsize bed, the mattress was not very comfortable and pretty squeaky. Lucky it was just two of us, so we slept in the other bedrooms which were comfortable.
