Mr Brooking
September 2020

“The cottage was perfect for what we wanted which was a week away whilst being able to social distance.”

We had a fabulous stay and left feeling very relaxed. The bedrooms were a good size as was the sitting room. The grounds were beautiful and extremely well maintained and we were able to enjoy them to the full. The swimming pool was a bonus, and a great way to cool down. Catherine made us feel very welcome and was very helpful. The location was great for days out and only a very short drive to Downham Market.

“Very comfortable and the grounds are beautiful, the children enjoyed the pool.”

We adored the dog Sweet Pea who gave us regular visits, and there's lots to see & do if you don't mind a drive. Would highly recommend the Garden Cottage. Bonus home-baked cake on arrival which was lovely, thanks again Catherine.

Mrs Rollinson June 2019

“The owner,Catherine greeted us on arrival.”

She had baked a cake for our party of 12 ( We also booked Modeney Hall) both the cottage and Hall were very clean and comfortable. Beds extremely comfortable and bed linen laundered as if we were in a 5 star hotel. The grounds are stunning, and extremely well maintained. Access to the out door swimming pool a bonus. We would certainly return to this fabulous house.

“As a retired couple interested in widlife, this was the ideal location for us.”

A comfortable, well equipped cottage set in large grounds away from built up areas. It is very close to Welney WWT and handy for the North Norfolk coast an hours drive away. We were also very pleased that the cottage had free wifi.

Mr Adams December 2018

“We were literally surprised and delighted at the sheer beauty of this historical house, land and surroundings.”

Catherine and her family were wonderful hosts who had prepared a fire for us and brought over a delicious home made cake that was devoured in seconds. They are interesting and witty and we had the best family Christmas to date. The beds were super comfy and the heating timed to perfection. We would definitely re book again.

“Had a great week at Garden cottage which was very comfortable with lovely grounds and surroundings.”

Catherine and her family made us very welcome. What a lovely lady, kind, friendly and the cake she baked for us was delicious. Our dog, Millie loved running around the orchard. Would recommend this property.

Mrs Pyner June 2018

“Modney Hall Farm was really more than we expected.”

We rented the garden cottage and found it just perfect with honeysuckle and clematis growing all around it. It was just right with it being all on one level and as one of us being disabled found it so easy. A proper seat was placed in the wet room bathroom and rail fitted. The Hall which can be rented too is a lovely building with everything you would need with its extensive rooms and facilities. Then we have the grounds, absolutely beautiful, it was so nice to stroll or use our disabled scooter to enjoy it's peacefulness. Another bonus was the heated swimming pool with pool house. This was a truly relaxing and lovely holiday and everyone went the extra mile to make sure we were looked after. Looking forward to going back.

The chocolate cake on our arrival was a very pleasant and welcome surprise. The beds were very comfortable and the cottage was very peaceful during our stay. Our dogs were made welcome and enjoying their access to the grounds. We would definitely consider staying at this cottage again
