Mrs Fishwick, Ipswich, Suffolk
Oct 2005 | Relaxing, locals friendly, plenty of space in the cottage even with a large german shepherd! Lovely to sit and look out of lounge window, perfect height for dog to sit and watch the ducks! All the family had an excellent time. Thankyou
Miss Billington, Southend On Sea, Essex
Aug 2005 | Great having TV in the bedrooms. Excellent management of Norbury base - shop staff couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. Lovely tea shop. Very dog friendly - great walks and the dogs really liked by the base staff. Will certainly recommend / book again.
Mrs Machin, St. Austell, Cornwall
Apr 2005 | We chose this property because it was close to where we used to live and it was a convenient base to use for meeting up with old friends. The pub was perhaps a little too convenient! George enjoyed collecting the newspaper from the shop each morning - made him feel really grown up (he's only six!)
Mrs Cawood, Middlesbrough,
Feb 2005 | The location and views are great and the people were very helpful and cooperative. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Each morning we had up to 30 pheasants in the adjacent field, and each day boats moving on the canal.
Mr McDivitt, California 95338, U S A
Nov 2004 | Very relaxing. Amenities nearby very good - fishing in the canal great. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back soon !!
Mr Waters, Liverpool, Merseyside
