“We found the holiday cottage really ...”

We found the holiday cottage really relaxing and gave us a great opportunity for some much needed family time together. The only downside with the cottage was that the shower was very poor.. the shower head kept falling off, if this was replaced would make a huge all round difference!

“Overall enjoyed our stay, was only ...”

Overall enjoyed our stay, was only let down by a couple of little issues such as the shower only dispensing either really cold or really hot water. We would consider this cottage again in warmer weather but it is located very well for country parks, beaches for those who enjoy walks.

“Really lovely character full property”

The cottage is within easy travelling distance of the coast and market towns of Holt, Fakenham and Aylsham. The village has good amenities plus two public houses. There was everything you could have wanted in the cottage and more. Very comfortable and clean. Would definitely go back

“Delightful, well equipped, comfortable cottage”

We stayed in this delightful cottage over the Christmas period and were amazed at how beautifully it was decorated, even Christmas crackers were supplied. It is very well equipped with everything you would need for a stay. We took our two dogs so the garden was a bonus. The log fire made it for us as it was cold and frosty outside so we huddled around the fire. We paid a visit to Holt which is only a short drive away, a very quaint village with nice shops. Overall a very Happy Christmas break.

“Great cottage. Really well ...”

Great cottage. Really well equipped. Within easy reach of Holt,Blakeney,wells & Cromer. Loved the open fire. Good selection of games,books and DVDs Lovely well kept garden We booked as a group of girlfriends so did not mind having to access the second room through the main bedroom but might be an issue for couples. We loved the fact that low season we could book Wednesday to Saturday and at £60 per person could not fault the value for money Would definitely stay again

“If you do not know the area and you ...”

If you do not know the area and you are relying on a Sat Nav (SN) the SN takes you the lanes way, which can be very narrow. We know Norfolk relatively wel,l but still got lost a couple of times.

“Ms”

If you are looking for a real character cottage this is for you.From the wooden beams in the living room to the enormous fireplace it really was an absolute treat to stay here this week.Enclosed well maintained garden,fantastic if you have pets.There wasnt anything more we could have asked for .Hollyhedge cottage is well located for you to discover the beauty that lies within Norfolk. Wroxham Broads def worth a visit and Sheringham Park. Definitely give the Hunnybell restaurant a visit (5 mins) by car.Great atmosphere,location and desserts were to die for! :) Only 1 thing I would say is if anyone has trouble climbing stairs then the single room on ground floor is more suited.Other than that we didn't want to leave!
