Previous visitors' comments about Willow Brook Cottage:
It was so peaceful and the people of Harleston were extremely friendly. A very well run property, 10 out of 10 in my book.
Mr Driver, Great Yarmouth, April 2013
The cottage was everything we wanted; just like a 'home from home'. We were both stunned when we walked in and saw how nice it was and the welcome pack was most unexpected.
Mr Williams, Kettering, February 2013
It was as described in the information on the web site. It was clean tidy and well stocked. Very spacious for a small old cottage, we would book this cottage again.
Mr Bowering, Harlow, January 2013
We loved the location, especially the village. The owner left lots of useful information about the local area and places of interest to visit. The cottage was lovely and the garden was amazing with lots of wild life popping in for a visit.
