• "The Old Rectory Coach House was fantastic, we quickly made ourselves at home."

  The interior is very nice with everything you could need for your stay, an ideal let near to Norwich and the Broads, leaflets left by the owner was a great help when planning our days out. We were sorry when our week ended, and hope we can return in the future, to this lovely area of Norfolk.

• "This lovely property is a little off the main road, in a hidden village, so follow the owners directions!"

  The property itself is very well maintained and furnished with everything you need, friendly owners and a very welcome cake on arrival. Norwich is 30 away, and the broads very close by, worth a trip to Wroxham for a boat trip around the broads, the coast is 45 mins drive. Local pub is nice, great Sunday lunches.

• "This was among the very best properties that we have stayed in."

  We instantly felt the love and attention the owners had gone to make sure everything was perfect for us. We knew we were in for a lovely week when we opened the cake tin left for us and found delicious cupcakes, the wonderful smell alone made us smile. We enjoyed lovely walks from the cottage and felt we were not too far from the coast, the Broads and Norwich. The Old Rectory Coach House always gave us a warm hug when we retuned after a day exploring. Thankyou

• "We usually book with Sykes and have stayed at a number of excellent properties."

  By far The Old Rectory is the best property we have stayed at. Extremely comfortable, friendly hosts, in the country but not far from main roads to visit Norfolk. Nothing to do with the property but would advise against taking car into centre of Norwich! Ended up in pedestrian walkways with no option to turn around. Use park and ride or bus.

  Thank you for your wonderful feedback, how wonderful to hear that you found our property the best you have stayed in with Sykes so far, that makes us very proud. Best wishes Rachel & Grenville Property Owner

  We were welcomed by Rachel and Grenville and their lovely friendly dog. Once inside the property we found it very clean and comfortable, the beds were a delight to sleep on. We visited many places Southwold being our favorite, and if like us being a bit older we could use our bus passed to go into Norwich (do wear comfy shoes) which has a very big shopping center. We would certainly book this property again in the future. Sandra, Robert and Lynn.

• "We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at The Old Rectory Coach House."

  The owners Grenville and Rachel made us feel very welcome, a lovely cake was waiting for us on our arrival. We had glorious weather all week which was a real bonus. We visited many places during our week’s stay. Norwich with its lovely shops, the cathedral well worth a visit, unfortunately the castle wasn’t open and will be closed for at least another year, upgrading the interior. We went to the Theatre too which completed our day. Cromer is worth a visit for their dressed crabs. Southwold a beautiful seaside town, with a very interesting pier, great Fish and chips too. Ramworth Broad Nature Reserve, Beckles, Wroham, Horning, all well worth a visit. The Ferry House Inn great for food also the The George and Dragon just 5 minutes drive away. We had a day visiting Sandringham and enjoyed a cream tea. All in all the Coach House is a lovely place to stay and is situated in the right area to visit many places in Norfolk and enjoy the countryside, the city and the coast line.

  We are so glad you enjoyed your stay so much and WOW you certainly managed to visit many many places in during your visit. It was great to meet you all too Property Owner

  The owners have created a stunning property which is superbly equipped, beautifully furnished and has many design-inspired little touches which makes it such a special place to be when spending time indoors. Beyond the door it is well positioned for exploring the whole of Norfolk. The seaside resorts on the north coast are just over an hour’s drive away and The Broads within easy reach. We took our own bikes and had some great days out exploring the vast array of quiet country lanes and tiny villages. We holiday in the UK regularly and would have no hesitation in recommending this property and would love to return again. The owners were very friendly, keen for us to enjoy our stay and very knowledgeable about the area. They have big plans to add a leisure complex, which sounds amazing and all the more reason to re-book.

  We have just returned from a very relaxing break at the Old Rectory Coach House and could not fault the accommodation. Rachel and Grenville have spent a significant amount of time, effort and expense in converting the coach house into an extremely well appointed, inviting and comfortable boutique style holiday cottage. Whilst the weather was less then spectacular during our stay, it was always comforting to return to the coach house in the evening following our visits to Norwich, Holkam Hall, Pensthorpe Natural Park, Cromer, Sheringham, Happisburgh etc. We would like to thank Rachel and Grenville for their very warm welcome and for ensuring that everything was in order throughout our stay.
