What guests are saying
We loved our stay at duck pond as always it’s a time I spend to relax with the family.
Only disappointment this time was we couldn’t use the oven due to it not heating properly and couldn’t cook some of the food we brought but it’s not the owners fault they was quick coming to look and ordering the part but unfortunately our holiday was over. As it’s a lovely place to stay very clean and welcoming as always.
We are so sorry about the cooker but the part was ordered and when delivered, we came down several times but there was no response when knocking at the door for access.
What an amazing find.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cottage with us
Absolutely beautiful cottage with everything you need for a relaxing holiday.
Owner very friendly and could not have been more helpful. Great pub with good food literally round the corner and shops within walking distance.
I can definitely recommend this cottage, I wanted to move in it’s so beautiful and the finishing touches are very high end.
The welcome pack was very much appreciated after a long drive.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. It was a pleasure to meet you all. Best wishes Jenny and Brian
Great place to stay for 2 weeks - good neighbourhood with a large park close by.
Would go again if we are in the area. Thanks
A lovely cottage.
Very clean throughout. Facilities top notch. The welcome goodies were outstanding. Thoroughly enjoyed staying there.
Very comfortable cottage, beautiful kitchen and bathroom.
Helpful owners nearby and a very generous welcome pack.
Thank you for your very kind comments. It was lovely to meet you both and your lovely dog Olive Best wishes Jenny and Brian
Our first stay at Duck Pond Cottage but won’t be our last.
The cottage was fabulous with everything you could need. The little personal touches left by Jenny & Brian (including homemade dog biscuits) made this cottage stand out. Clean and modern kitchen made it the perfect space for us to spend time sat round the big table with the bi fold doors open. Lovely local area too with great pub just around the corner. Exceptional find for us
Many thanks for your kind feedback . It is very much appreciated by us both. We look forward to seeing you again . Best wishes Jenny and Brian
A lovely cottage, with attentive hosts.
Everything was to a high standard. When I arrived the cottage was spotlessly clean, it had absolutely everything you could need for a week away, it was like a home from home. The welcome pack was thoughtful and generous. The cottage was cozy, had lots of cute homey touches (I want all the cushions!) and was very comfortable. Plenty of parking at the front. The hosts popped over to introduce themselves, and were very helpful and welcoming. Long Sutton is a cute little place in and of itself, and it's a wonderful base to explore the area.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay . Best wishes Jenny and Brian
Warm welcome from host, lovely clean and cosy cottage with everything you could need.

Duck Pond Cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped.
The welcome pack was just perfect
Wow, where do I begin with this property?
Firstly, the price is incredible for the stay you receive. On arrival we were greeted with an amazing welcome pack which we indulged in over the weekend we were there, we also notice within seconds how clean and well maintained the property is. You can tell a lot of love has gone into this property! As a couple who love to cook also we absolutely loved the kitchen / diner set up and that oven is what dreams are made of. The amazing thing about this property is it really suits the unpredictability of our British weather as one evening we had a cosy fire and the next evening sat out in the sunshine with the dining room doors open! I was slightly concerned taking my dog (who loves a bark) with the information about farm traffic but I can honestly say the whole time there we were not bothered by traffic in the slightest it was the most peaceful location and not a concern required. Lastly, we had the pleasure of meeting both hosts who were lovely and answered any questions we had! Many thanks Jenny & Brian we can’t wait to come back! Amy, Jodie & Bert the dog x
Thank you both for your lovely comments so very much appreciated by us both it shows we are achieving what we aim to provide for our guests. It was a pleasure to meet you Both and Bertie and we are looking forward to your return . Best wishes Jenny and Brian

Beautiful holiday home, but please be aware the third bedroom contains a 4 foot bed.
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.
We had a fantastic stay at Duck Pond Cottage, the property is beautifully maintained and has everything that you could ask for.
The village felt very welcoming and we would definitely recommend the Ship pub, which is conveniently just around the corner.
Thank you so much your kind comments are appreciated by us both. It was a pleasure to meet you . Regards Jenny and Brian
Duck Pond Cottage is a lovely property, one of the nicest we have stayed in .

Thank you so much for your kind comments, they are really appreciated by both of us . It was lovely to meet you both and yes if you should decide to return we welcome you back Best wishes Jenny and Brian
Duck Pond Cottage is our favourite holiday cottage, it’s spotlessly clean yet still very homely and comfortable.
All cleaning materials are supplied, there’s plenty of space for everyone. There’s always a lovely welcome hamper and Jenny and Brian are such lovely hosts. Long Sutton is a lovely town too
It was lovely to welcome you all back and meet Vinnie Thank you so much for your kind comments. Best wishes Jenny and Brian

Absolutely excellent.
Lots of previous comments in the visitors book show how good this property is, and I endorse them all. welcome bits - a bonus. cleanliness 10 out of 10. location brill, just a short walk to a local pub, shops & a park.

Cleanest house I have ever stayed in .
The house and garden are both beautiful , kudos to Jenny & Brian for all their hard work maintaining and presenting this house so well. The linens and towels were beautifully white , kitchen well stocked with everything you need . A great base to explore a beautiful area , easy to get to Cambridge for a day trip and many surrounding areas, check out the lighthouses at Guy’s Point , just over that lovely bridge , or head in to Norfolk. Was lovely just sitting in the garden and unwinding from city living .
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. It is very much appreciated by us both . Best wishes Jenny and Brian

Absolutely stunning cottage, had everything we needed and even things we didn't know we needed.
Jenny and Brian show perfect attention to detail to ensure it's a home away from home. A welcome pack of local produce was a lovely treat, and even a gift to congratulate us on our marriage. Highly recommended to all, and we will 100% be back.

Beautiful cottage.
Spotlessly clean. Lovely thoughtful owners
We were celebrating my dad's 80th birthday.
The cottage was perfectly located to my parents home in the nearby village. The cottage is beautiful and spacious. The welcome package provided was a fantastic touch. We will certainly book again when we visit the area and family.
Thank you so much . It was a pleasure to meet you and look forward to your return . Regards Jenny and Brian
Very nice property clean, contains everything you need.
Located in small town good for Family away days.
The Duck pound cottage was the best cottage we ever stayed with Sykes.
The welcome hamper was excellent, a bottle of wine, cakes, crisp, cheese, milk, jam, bread, butter, tea, coffee. Everything you would ever need was in the cottage. We always take things with us, but this time we did not need it. The cottage was very clean. We used the lock burner several times. Jenny and Brian are very friendly and kind owners. I left something in the cottage and got a message of Jenny. She is going topmost it for me. I can recommend this cottage.
A stunning cottage, immaculate, cosy, helpful owners and luxury welcome hamper We hope to return again, it’s convenient for the coast, through Kings Lyn to Hunstanton less than an hour or across to Cromer An hour and half.
We also went to Ely a lovely city amazing cathedral Loved our stay, so did our small dog Thank you Jenny and Brian
Thank you so much for your positive feed back on your stay at our cottage it is very much appreciated by us both . It was a pleasure to meet you and your small dog. We would welcome you back if you should decide to return. Regards Jenny & Brian
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.
We had an amazing break.
The cottage was great and the lovely owners live next door. The welcome pack was perfect upon arrival Thank You.
Thank you , our pleasure. Lovely to meet you and your family , would welcome you back if you should decide to return. Best wishes Jenny and Brian
Lovely cottage - it had everything you need for a holiday
We had an amazing stay at Duck Pond Cottage.
The house was absolutely spotless when we arrived. We had a lovely welcome from the owners who left an amazing welcome pack, absolutely over and above what I could have ever imagined even after reading previous reviews. The house has everything you would need and is very tastefully decorated and clearly a lot of thought and effort has gone in to creating this space. My favourite part was the kitchen and dining area and we had amazing weather so could make use of the bi fold doors that open fully to enjoy the evening sun as we ate. The garden was secure and a lovely place for us and our dog to relax. Long Sutton is a lovely town and everything you could need is walking distance.
Thank you so much for your positive feed back so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Duckpond Cottage . It was lovely to meet you and your family and would welcome you back if you should decide to return. Regards Jenny and Brian
Beautiful property with everything you could wish for.
Quality furnishings, fixtures and fittings. Lovely welcome pack which was much appreciated. Cottage is located on the edge of the village and is well placed for visiting Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you so much for your feedback it's appreciated by us both. It was lovely to meet you and your family and would welcome you back should you return. Jenny and Brian
Duck Pond Cottage is a very special place indeed.
Jenny and Brian were superb hosts right from the when we booked. I txt Jenny a few times about the cottage and within a few minutes she answered my queries asap, great customer service. 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. A lovely welcome pack was also awaiting for us which was a very thoughtful touch by our hosts and to be honest the best yet. 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 best accommodation we have stayed in for a very long time. Well done to Jenny and Brian on renovating this beautiful home you should be proud of yourselves. Once again thank you for being superb hosts. See you very soon
Thank you so much from us both for your very positive feedback. We are both so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Duckpond Cottage it is good to know that we are achieving what we have set out to do to provide an enjoyable stay for our guests We look forward to welcoming you back should you return to us in the future. Jenny & Brian
After 44 years of self-catering, I can truthfully say that this is an exceptional property, with absolutely everything you need.
The property was super clean and the attention to detail was second to none. The lovely owners provided a wonderful welcome pack and were on hand to assist ,if needed. The property is located in a small town ,with easy access to Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. Would we return? Yes, without hesitation. Thank you for a super week.
Many thanks for your kind comments it was lovely to meet you and your family. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to meeting you again if you decide to return to Duck Pond Cottage.
We have stayed in many cottages and this is easily the best .
The first thing you notice is how clean the cottage is . A lovely welcome pack was there on our arrival and a hello from the owner later in the evening . The owner has obviously thought about what is needed in a cottage and it is all there . All 3 bedrooms were comfortable and roomy . The dining area is main feature though , being able to open the Bi-Fold doors on a hot day was wonderful . The property is very dog friendly . As long as front door is locked and side gate is bolted our dog was secure and loved mooching around the patio area . We cannot praise this cottage enough !
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay it's good to know we are on the right track with what we are doing .
Jenny and Brian are very friendly and Duck Pond Cottage is beautiful and absolutely immaculate.
A very thoughtful and lovely welcome pack was left for us too. Unfortunately our dog likes to escape so the busy road in front of the cottage was a problem for us.
Literally felt home from home, location spot on for all amenities.
Highly recommend a stay, Jenny and Brian simply the best hosts.
Thank you so much
Duck Pond Cottage is the best-appointed cottage we have stayed in.
We met the hosts when we arrived, and they lift a lovely welcome pack to get you started when coming on holiday. The property was spotless and well maintained and the kitchen had all the equipment you would need. The property was lovely and warm there was no need for the log fire which was all set ready to go if needed. All of the rooms were very comfortable. We had a lovely week and would recommend Duck Pond Cottage, Thanks.
We have stayed in Sykes cottages for 11 years,and have never experienced such attention to detail,cleanliness,or comfort.
If we had never left Duck pond cottage during our stay we found a little piece of Heaven on earth. We especially enjoyed the vast open back door in which we could listen to the birds in the early morning.What a privilege to stay in this your home. Thank you once again Mike,Grace,Sarah and Teddy ( woof )
Thank you so much for your feed back it is very much appreciated by us both
We booked Duck Pond Cottage with high expectations after reading previous visitors comments and we weren't disappointed!
Jenny and Brian have renovated the cottage to an extremely high standard and thought of everything you could possibly need on a break away. The welcome gifts were well thought out and extremely generous. We were made to feel so welcome in the village and our 11 month old pup was also welcome to join us in all of the bars and restaurants locally. Long Sutton proved to be an excellent base for exploring and we had an amazing time visiting Sandringham - one of Brian's recommendations! Stamford was another place we would recommend, with stunning Georgian architecture, river walks and plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. We will definitely be returning to Duck Pond Cottage as soon as we can. Having visited numerous cottages in locations across the UK, Duck Pond Cottage is firmly at the top of our favourites list! Thanks again Jenny and Brian, hopefully see you soon.
We would like to thank you very much for your great comments appreciated by us both we try very hard .
Duck Pond Cottage is a wonderful retreat - clean, comfortable, modern but with 'Olde Worlde' character too.
Jenny and Brian are excellent hosts - wonderful welcome pack and when we had an issue with the heating Brian came round and fixed it immediately - first class. We come down to the area to visit family a few times each year and this is easily the nicest holiday home we have found in the area.
Thank you for your kind feedback it is appreciated by us both. If you should decide to return we would welcome you back. Best wishes Jenny and Brian
We had a wonderful week at Duck Pond Cottage.
Very well equipped for everything we needed, cosy and felt like a home from home. Lovely welcome package of local produce which we enjoyed very much. Would definitely recommend and hope to return at some point. Thank you for a lovely stay.
A very nice cottage which was well appointed.
It was all very comfortable and in a good location for the areas we wanted to visit. We appreciated all the local produce and other goodies which were left for us, it was great that everything was suitable for vegetarians. We were surprised how busy the road was outside of the cottage which did disturb us a bit. The owners live next door and were very helpful, especially when we had an issue with the washbasin in the bathroom.
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.
This is a very well appointed and well fitted property.
The impression is that of being recently renovated as the whole property is up to a very good standard, very clean and new. The host was very welcoming and keen to ensure that everything was ok for us. A cosy log fire was very welcome. Well situated for exploring both Lincoln and Norwich and the counties. Cant recommend highly enough.
Wow!
What a lovely cottage. It was extremely well appointed and had everything we needed. The furnishings and bedding were lovely and it was very comfortable. The fittings looked new and it was extremely clean. There really is nothing I could fault, and the owners were kind and helpful. I would highly recommend Duck Pond Cottage.
Duck pond cottage was the cleanest most well appointed cottage we have ever stayed in.
We had a fabulous comfortable holiday.
Absolutely beautiful property, finished to a very high standard.
Perfect for a family, and well positioned for visiting many of the lovely attractions on offer in Lincolnshire.
WONDERFUL, OUR SECOND VISIT, ALL OUR FAMILY THOUGHT, WHAT A LOVELY HOUSE.
We spent a week in the lovely Duck Pond Cottage.
It was exactly as the photos showed....plush, comfortable, warm, spotlessly clean, the beds were so comfortable. The kitchen had all the equipment/ utensils you would have at home. The bathroom with bath and shower was fab with constant hot water available. On arrival the welcome gifts were all locally made and we enjoyed them all. We met Jenny, she was just lovely . We visited Kings Lynn, Sandringham, Boston, Skegness and other local villages
We had a wonderful time at duck pond cottage.
My mum in particular loved it, she found it very accessible and easy to navigate (blind). The cottage was spotless on arrival, the welcome pack and fresh flowers were a lovely touch, everything we needed was provided. The owners popped over to say hello and that was appreciated. The underfloor heating and automatic lights were amazing! Absolutely no fault to be found at all.
A beautiful cottage, presented brilliantly.
It’s a home from home and was very clean on arrival (spotless even). The kitchen was perfect size to cook a Sunday roast and the bath is a dream! A short walk into town and there is the Palmers restaurant which is lovely and dog friendly. Only a 45 minute drive to Snettisham Beach and 50 minutes to Hunstanton. Would highly recommend this property.
A lovely holiday home within walking distance of a Spar shop.
The cottage is supplied with everything you could need. The beds are comfortable and it had been cleaned to a ver high standard. A most enjoyable stay.
Having now stayed in a number of UK holiday cottages our stay in Duck Pond Cottage exceeded expectations.
The little bits of attention to detail the owners Brian & Jenny give to the property makes it stand out from others we’ve stayed in. Beautifully decorated & everything you could need for your stay is provided. Also, well stocked for cleaning products which was so appreciated at these current times. The beds were so comfy which made for a great night’s sleep. Long Sutton is a beautiful village with a Spar just round the corner & a bigger Co-op further down the High Street. Also a great base for exploring Lincolnshire & Norfolk. Would highly recommend Duck Pond Cottage.
We had a great week in this beautiful cottage.
There is everything provided for an extremely comfortable stay, with top class furniture and fittings. The people in the area very friendly, shops and pubs well catered for too. Loved watching the sunsets from the front of the cottage over the fields.
Excellant accommodation should be 6 stars really.
Very warm and friendly people. Would definately recommend.
Every aspect of the accommodation was excellent, including the friendly welcome from the owner.
The underfloor heating was a definite favourite with our dog ! Plenty of interesting locations to visit within a reasonable distance. And the dawn chorus was fantastic, if you are up that early !
The holiday home was very well equipped.
Everything was very clean and comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming.
Beautiful cottage with everything one could need.
Well equipped and very clean. Brian and Jenny (owners) were available and very helpful.
What a fantastic trip away!
Our first since before Covid and we couldn't have been treated with better hosts. The property is immaculate, a yet so warm and cosy. We would strongly advise anyone considering the area to book this property! We would absolutely love to come back again soon to visit. Jenny and Brian went the extra mile to accommodate our needs, including a lovely welcome package. Absolutely First Class!
fantastic covid ESCAPE wind swept sands of Skegness, long walks on Sir Peter Scott sea bank.
WOW thankyou from Roger and Marjorie
Duck Pond Cottage is a lovely place to stay.
It was immaculate and clean with lovely attention to detail; cake and jam for us to enjoy on our arrival and wine too. It was well located to explore the seaside at Hunstanton and visit the grounds of Sandringham. It was very dog friendly and our cockapoo had a lovely time! The cottage has been beautifully renovated and was a real treat to stay and very well equipped with everything you could want. Would definitely recommend a visit.
The cottage was so comfy to be in and was very easy to relax into.
There were some lovely touches too on our arrival. Milk, jam plum loaf, as well as some other items. It really made it a good start to the week. Jenny came round to make sure we had settled in ok and that to was I nice touch. We would definitely recommend the cottage to others.
The house was excellent, and upon arrival we were greeted by the owner who gave us a friendly welcome.
During this difficult time, we felt safe that the house had been cleaned very well
Fabulous cottage, super clean, ideal location.
Hosts were nice and friendly 10/10
We had a fabulous holiday, the cottage was beautiful and the welcome pack was very much appreciated.
We would definitely return to this house, book through Sykes again and highly recommend this property to families.
Ideal location for tourists to visit areas of interest.
Owner was superb.
We enjoyed a delightful short break in Duck Pond Cottage recently.
Jenny and Brian have renovated the cottage to an extremely high standard. We found it to be immaculately clean, very tastefully decorated and furnished. The quality of the finish in all rooms is outstanding - as are the bedding and towels. The cottage felt homely as soon as we walked in and, importantly, the kitchen was thoughtfully equipped with even the smallest of appliances and utensils included. Jenny met us on arrival and was most helpful, providing us with a delicious welcome tray, and provided an insight into the local amenities. We couldn't have asked for better hospitality and accomodation and would most definitely recommend this property to couples and families alike.
A wonderful holiday cottage.
Owners were lovely and helpful. I would recommend this cottage whole heartedly.
An outstanding property with every need catered for.
The owners left a thoughtful welcome pack and could not have been more helpful.
Beautiful cottage , picture is deceiving re front drive we went past it as it’s a lot smaller in real life !
But still fits 2/3 cars off the road. Lovely touches with wine , chocs etc left for us really nice surprise would definately recommend this house. Everything you need has been thought about and more . (Only one criticism is the 2 double beds were not very comfortable as the mattresses were very soft and springy with quite a lot of roll together ! but that’s probably a personal comfort thing )
Thank you for your feedback. The mattresses are brand new and have new mattress toppers on also
My family and I enjoyed a weeks stay of New Year and were pleasantly surprised when we arrived to a lovely decorated tree in living room.
It gave a lovely festive feel and our three children thought it was brilliant. My husband and I also greatly appreciated the welcome hamper. The cottage is beautiful throughout. Our hosts Jenny and Brian were very welcoming and extremely helpful making our stay very relaxed. Our little dog enjoyed roaming around in the spacious kitchen and diner and there are lovely walks nearby at Sandringham and Hunstanton. We would highly recommend the cottage and the hosts to everyone and will definitely be booking again soon.
We had a great time staying in this lovely house over the Christmas period.
The house is furnished to a high standard with all the mod cons including under floor heating. As a family with 2 small children, it has everything we needed - a great living space and extremely comfortable bedrooms. Brian and Jenny were excellent hosts, they left us a great hamper and were prompt in sorting any problems we had. We would thoroughly recommend this property.
Duck Pond Cottage is by far the best holiday cottage we have stayed in.
No expense has been spared in making this a lovely comfortable, extremely well equipped and decorated home. The owners Jenny and Brian are wonderful hosts and were attentive in making sure our stay was very comfortable and that we had everything we needed. The cottage is nothing short of excellent. The local area has all the shops you will require within walking distance and a very nice pub just around the corner. The North Norfolk coast is a short drive away. Overall a very relaxing stay and we will definately be returning. I would not hesitate to recommend Duck Pond Cottage.
We absolutely loved our long weekend at Duck Pond Cottage!
It is really welcoming, kitted out to a really high standard and the attenntion to detail is excellent. 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.
Lovely well equipped cottage that catered for our every need and more.
Highly recommend for anyone wanting a quiet comfortable getaway
