Previous visitors' comments about Firkin Cottage:
Very relaxing cottage and the owner was very helpful with everything. We found lots of good places to eat and over all, a most enjoyable holiday.
Mr Thurston, Lowestoft, April 2012
I loved the cosiness and overall cleanliness. The feeling was really of a home from home and it is probably the nicest holiday cottage I have stayed in. The position near the town and its amenities were also excellent.
Ms Poste, London, September 2011
It was central to Norwich and only 1 hour away from the coast no matter where we went. Very good holiday home and we would return next year about this time if the cottage was available.
Mr Holmes, Sheffield, September 2011
Firkin Cottage is a delightful property with an extremely welcoming and helpful hostess. The attention to detail was a particular feature. One of the very best cottages we have stayed in.
