  • "Exceptional property with a stunning garden in an idyllic location."

    The village was so picturesque with the river carrying barges and boats, plus providing a home for the many swans and wildlife. The Coronation Cottage was extremely well planned, with plenty of room to relax in. The beds were so comfortable and the facilities/equipment provided covered all our needs. The extras and welcome pack provided by Tracey were greatly appreciated. We found lot's to do in the local area and enjoyed a variety of days out. We especially enjoyed the National Trust properties and Downham Market. We would highly recommend Coronation Cottage and would love to return one day. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

  • "The cottage was beautiful and very spacious."

    We were a family of 5. 2 adults and 3 teenagers. The garden is just magnificent and perfect for lazy sunny days. The welcome from Tracey and the basket of goodies ready for us was very gratefully received. There isn’t much to do in Upwell itself but it is very beautiful and you can fish, which we did a lot of. Lots of little walks to do too. We found that anything we wanted to do was at least 35mins to an hour away. We can highly recommend a visit to Ely and Sandringham. We also enjoyed Hunstanton beach.

  • "Fabulous cottage (well equipped & very comfortable); long garden with pretty river at bottom."

    Nice welcome pack, (but we would have appreciated milk). Useful fish & chip shop & great butchers within few minutes walking distance, plus good Coop short drive away. Great places to visit in local area- we particularly recommend Watatunga (deer safari park)- but MUST prebook via internet ; and Gooderstone Water Gardens, also Ely - so interesting & beautiful, with great market some days.

  • "Very nice property but no wardrobes or drawers for clothes in 3 out of the 4 bedrooms!"

    Also you advertise that you can fish the river at the bottom of the garden, this is illegal between March and June and hefty fines can be imposed. Tracy (the manager) very helpful and the property is comfortable and well equipped.

    Good Afternoon Paul & family, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at the cottage, we love our cottage & welcome all types of feedback from all our guests. I hope you enjoyed the welcome pack & all the little extras we provided. Thank you for Tracey’s feedback, I will share with Tracey. Thank you also for your rating on our cleanliness. Kind regards Lou Property Owner

  • "Fabulous cottage."

    Tracy the lady who welcomed us was lovely and very helpful. Even the next door neighbour helped when I had a problem with my car! Great location with the river running at the bottom of the garden. We hope to return next year.

  • "My family (5 adults and 2 kids) had an amazing stay at Coronation Cottage."

    It’s warm/cosy, spacious and very well equipped…. It felt like home away from home. From the moment we entered the drive way the house had an inviting feel about it. A lovely back garden with outdoor seating leading to the river - in the summer would make a great entertainment area. The kitchen/utility had all the mod cons we needed for our stay. Rooms and beds were clean and comfy. There was an issue with the common bathroom shower but Tracey dealt with it and quickly arranged a plumber to sort it. The cottage is located in a small quiet town/village with a few shops and tasty fish and chip shop! I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends and hope to return again some day.

    Beautiful area & we loved the garden & seating area outside. Cottage so well equipped! A visit by two swans & their cygnets made our grandchildren's day.

  • "WOW! What a cottage!"

    Facilities were brilliant - everything we needed to hand (we'd started taking our own essentials after previous cottage visits). The gardens are beautiful, with the garden nice and private! Grandkids enjoyed fishing and watching boats go past. The house was staggering - VERY well fitted out with really comfy beds! Nice and quiet so had a great nights sleep! Sitting and dining areas big enough for 8 to sit together to eat and socialise. Overall, a great holiday let!

    The village was lovely too, it made a great base for us to visit the North Norfolk coast. Everything you could want or need is nearby. Fishing was pretty good and being at the end of the garden an even bigger bonus. Tracey was lovely and very informative on places to visit etc. There was also a lovely welcome pack. We can't wait to return.

    Nice walks in the local area. Tracey was very friendly. Would definitely recommend Coronation Cottage. Only criticisms - we found the pillows too big! Also 3 of the bedrooms only had a bedside table and lamp on 1 side which was a bit awkward.

    Very well equipped & appointed. Some surfaces & floors hadn't been cleaned to the standard we expected & there were some technical issues with certain appliances but the owner was very swift to try to rectify these, which we appreciated.

Boasting a character feel with boutique furnishings throughout, Coronation Cottage is a lovely choice for families and friends seeking a rural escape.

After parking up in the large driveway, the main door is accessed at the side of the property, leading into a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, so you won’t have to bring your whole wardrobe!

Step into the quirky and characterful kitchen, where you can sit at the centre island and keep the chef company whilst they get to grips with the range of appliances, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, American style fridge/freezer and a lovely AGA range cooker (for ornamental use only).

Spend your downtime in the sitting room, presented with two chesterfield sofas and armchairs to relax upon, along with a Smart TV so you can stay updated with your favourite shows.

The first of the bedrooms is found on the ground-floor; originally used as a sitting room, it has been lovingly converted with a super king-size bed and features a decorative fireplace and stove, perfect for those with limited mobility.

Wander upstairs to find the remaining bedrooms, including two king-size rooms, one with an en-suite shower, and a double, together sleeping up to eight guests.

There is also a bathroom with bath and shower over, so you can enjoy lazy soaks in the evening and brisk showers in the morning.

The exterior of this Upwell cottage is a real highlight, boasting an enclosed gravelled section with a covered seating area, perfect for entertaining on a balmy evening, while the beautiful rear garden offers a lawned area leading down to the river, where you can sit back and enjoy a spot of fishing, or simply switch off as you listen to the river flow by.

The town of King’s Lynn is further afield but also worth a visit, brimming with plenty of heritage with the Lynn Museum, True's Yard Fisherfolk Museum and The Walks 18th century park and garden.

About the location

UPWELL

Wisbech 6.5 miles; King's Lynn 18.9 miles

Upwell is a small and charming village resting amidst the glorious Norfolk countryside, just 18.9 miles away from King’s Lynn. The villages of Upwell and Outwell were once collectively known as 'Welle' or 'Welles' and even today, it is not obvious where one village starts and the other ends. Within this attractive waterside village, you will find a host of amenities. Until 1960s, Wisbech tramway connected the village, however, when it closed a preservation society arose, led by the Reverend Wilbert Awdry, who is known as the author of the Thomas the Tank Engine books. Today, you can discover the history of the tram, which provided much of the inspiration for the classic children’s stories by exploring the Outwell and Upwell walk. Alternatively, explore the historic town of King’s Lynn, home to a vibrant town centre and several endearing cobbled lanes, as well as the impressive Custom House, which overlooks the harbour. From Upwell, you can also visit the towns of Downham Market and Wisbech, or if you are feeling adventurous, explore the open landscapes of the Fens, as well as the Wildfowl and Wetland Centre in Welney. Upwell make a wonderful base for exploring surrounding Norfolk with your loved ones.

Note: Owners have added small picket fence to give a safe area for children, but beyond this there is access to the river at the end of the garden.
