“A Really Pleasant Place”

Having stayed at Norbank Cottage in the same garden as Norbank Garden Studio earlier in the year and being impressed, we thought we'd book up for the garden studio and weren't disappointed. The owners clearly take pride in their two little holiday lets and this shows. A lovely gesture is cream scones on arrival and fresh produce from their garden. The shared laundry room is the most organised, cleanest and tidiest we've ever come accross in a holiday let. What a beautiful end of an era for us, to spend the last week of our 31 years living on the Suffolk / Norfolk border at "Norbank Garden Studio" before heading off very early in the morning to a brand new chapter many miles away. Sorry the handle fell off the exit door as we left, , initially we laughed and thought maybe it was divine interventiom trying to keep us in Suffolk / Norfolk.

“We found this wooden built garden studio to be perfect for our week's stay, clean and well equipped.”

The owner greeted us on arrival, there were scones, cream and jam too with cucumber and tomatoes from their vegetable plot being left outside our door one day. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this garden studio or the other converted building next to but detached from the main house, we have stayed in both.

“There was a welcome tray which was lovely.”

We picked this place as it was near to Thretford forest as my husband went to do bike trails at Thretford forest lodge, this was quite expensive if you were there all day, but great for a family day at £12.50. For bike riding be early 7.45 open of gates out before 11am charge £3.00 in that time two trails can be ridden. Diss is a lovely little town with three supermarkets! Boat trip on the fens was lovely £19.00 for two adults trip lasted 1.5 hrs at Wroxham, again need to be early for the 10.30 trip when we got back the car park was full and people unable to park. Thorpe abbots 100th bombardment memorial museum was amazing, run by volunteers, open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, with a cafe, so much to see if your interested in ww2. Free entry. However, due to the intensity of the weather 35 Deg. most days this week we were not able to walk as much as we had wanted.

“Second visit to Bressingham have stayed in both norbank properties and would recommend them highly which we have.”

Beautiful peaceful place ideal for sightseeing Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge. Ann and Terry warm friendly people who make you feel very welcome. We have already booked for next year. Nothing negative to say about either properties very clean with everything you need home from home on a smaller scale. If your thinking of booking go for it you wont be diappointed

- Mrs Bloxham, July 2018
“This is the second year we have booked Norbank Garden Studio and our experience was just as pleasant as before.”

The facilities provided were more than adequate with the hosts Terry & Ann providing a friendly, personable and relaxing stay. As mentioned in a previous review, some sort of shade from the sun would benefit the west facing Garden Studio immensely but not having this did not in anyway dampen our enjoyment. Thank you, once again Terry for sharing your garden produce with us it was very much appreciated. We were also fascinated to see each day the developing relationship of a Muntjac deer and the owners cat in the garden. Hope it doesn’t end in tears! Looking forward to returning very soon.

- Mr Johnstone, July 2018
“We had a really comfortable and relaxing week.”

As it was so hot and sunny we could have done with a sun umbrella over the patio table. The only other comment would be to have towel rails in the shower room. Other than these comments we were really happy with The Studio. Owners were delightful.

- Mrs Hoy, June 2018
“We had a lovely time at the studio.”

Very quiet and peaceful and it has everything you need for your stay.There is lots to see and do not too far away.Grimes graves was my favourite and Bury St Edmonds is lovely.Norwich is great if you like shopping but we went for the cathedral and history.Best to use park and ride as it gets busy

- Mrs Hughes, June 2018
“We really enjoyed our stay at Norbank studio cottage.”

Very warm welcome from Terry and Anne. The cream tea awaiting on arrival was a nice surprise.We also enjoyed watching all the wild life in the garden we even saw a couple of Muntjac deer one evening. The cottage was vey comfortable,clean and well appointed.

- Mr Laine, April 2018
“In my opinion this very clean studio was more suited to summer or warmer weather as it had only 2 small oil filled electric heaters.”

Unfortunate for me the weather was minus 5 with heavy frost and even snow on one day. Also the owner Terry was kind enough to come and tell me the electric would be off for a couple of hours on Wednesday 7th due to some overhead power cables that needed working on. Not ideal when everything in the studio was running on electric. I also found it quite difficult to sleep as I could hear the noise of the traffic on the very busy A1066 which was only a short distance from the studio. I decided to come home a day early due to these reasons. The studio was exceptionally clean and fresh with Terry the owner being very helpful.

- Ms Luck, February 2018
“The cottage was very clean and very comfortable.”

Terry and Anne were extremely helpful and friendly and made our stay a wonderful way to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary! Thank you for a lovely break away.

“The hosts are extremely friendly and make guests feel very welcome.”

- Mr Mowle, July 2017
“What made this holiday experience unique was the friendliness and generosity of the owners Terry & Anne Betts.”

They were most welcoming without being intrusive. The accommodation we felt was second to none and met or exceeded all our expectations.
