    We were met by Terry on arrival who was welcoming and showed us to the cottage. There was a tray set out on the table with teapot, two china cups and plates and two scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream with a pint of milk in the fridge It is a lovely cottage with comfortable seating area, a dining table for two and a kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, fridge ( with freezer compartment large enough for a loaf and perhaps another couple of small items ). There is a large TV, DVD player and electric stove. The bedroom is comfortable with drawers and just a hanging rail for clothes. The bathroom had a large shower cubicle etc. and the whole cottage is decorated very well. The view across the garden is lovely. We enjoyed our stay even though it was under difficult circumstances for us. The only things I would suggest would be provision of some kitchen roll ( I had brought some with me ) and some way of drying bathroom towels - do not know if a towel radiator would be an option ? There is a shared utility room with washer, dryer, ironing board/iron which we did not use but would be a great facility for a longer stay - as would a freezer. Anne was very friendly and sympathetic to our situation and it was a pleasure chatting to her. We are grateful for having a place to stay which was so homely - thanks.

  • "This cottage was small but perfectly formed."

    The heaters provided kept us really cosy. The bed was very comfortable. This is not always the case - I have arthritis and a good night's sleep is always appreciated. The shower was nice and easy to use and the area was very pleasant. Our hosts were nice, friendly but unobtrusive folk. There was easy parking and a very nice garden.

  • "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.

    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

  • "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.

    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.

  • "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.
