    My husband and I spent a couple of very uncomfortable nights because the bed is simply not big enough for 2 adults.

    Thank you for your feedback. The listing has now been updated to show that the second bedroom is a queen size bed. I am sorry this caused some discomfort during your stay. I hope you enjoyed your stay otherwise. Property Owner

  • "Our stay at Duck Pond Cottage this month (September) was great."

    Upon arrival we were greeted with some really nice goodies and also some essentials such as tea, coffee, sugar and bread, which was really appreciated. The cottage itself is lovely. The cottage part of the building maintains its cottage style and merges well with the kitchen and dinning area and was perfect for a group of 5 (4 adults and 1 toddler). However, while it really wasn't an issue i would recommend a slightly larger TV in the living room as it is a little small and a wifi booster would help too. The village is close by and has a great chinese but now really only has one good place to eat and drink (Palmers Ale House) if you want to go anywhere in walking distance, however we didn't try the sports club or social club but Kings Lynn is close by, which is beautiful and has everything you need. Would recommend for a nice quite break and a few day trips to the seaside or nearby towns.

Well what can I say about the cottage just absolutely fantastic! It is beautiful inside and out, this cottage is spacious, home from home and furnished to a very high standard it was exceptionally clean and everything you could possibly need for a luxury getaway. Each room within the cottage was stunning, with such beautiful touches to them, well presented to an exceptional standard through out.

Jenny popped round to say hello and to see if everything was ok the first night, even took time to recommend bars, restaurants in the local area, they really go out of their way to make your stay a wonderful experience. The only downside to this cottage was having to leave it, had a lump in my throat when we left. I honestly said good bye to it. We will definitely be back to this fabulous place.

The welcome gifts were well thought out and extremely generous.

    Thank you for your review from which we try to improve our standards for all future guests, who are either returning guests or no. Whilst we endeavour to implement all comments raised there are certain things which are outside our control, such as the passing of vehicles past the property at certain times. We are situated in a small rural market town, although not on the main road, therefore the sound of tractors and school buses on occasion is to be expected. Nevertheless, we are sorry to hear that this impacted the enjoyment of your holiday. We are so glad to have been of assistance to you during your stay, and always try our very best to rectify any issues that arise as quickly as possible. The welcome pack is picked out with care and we are so very pleased that you enjoyed that too. We really hope that you enjoyed your stay overall and would love to accommodate you again in the future.

The village it is in is lovely has all the essentials and there's a lovely local pub, The Ship, no more then 2 mins walk away that serves great food. It's also a great location for exploring the coast. Jenny was great at getting in contact to m,ake sure we had everthing we needed and there was even some lovely plum bread and jam in the kitchen ready for our arrival. All in all, thoroughly recommended.

  • "On arrival we met Jenny and Brian as we were early."

    They invited us in and to have coffee. They were extremely helpful, thoughtful and couldn’t do enough for us. The house is amazing, every possible thing you could possibly need plus some lovely extras, milk, butter, wine, bread, jam etc etc. Duck Pond cottage is spotlessly clean and so tastefully decorated. The house is in the perfect location for many days out, as everything seemed to be less than an hour away. I would not hesitate to go back or recommend to others.
