  • "One of the best cottages we have stayed iin."

    Sharon and Tim could not have been more helpful. The location, cottage and facilities could not have been better. Lots of places to visit within easy reach. Very relaxing just sitting outside in the grounds. Easy reach for coast, country and the Broads. Pub and shop in the village. Thanks once again.

    Thanks for the lovely feedback, Jackie. It's always so nice to hear that guests have enjoyed their stay with us. We are indeed blessed with a number of interesting places to visit in this area and you certainly seem to have found a number of them. We hope to perhaps see you both again sometime in the future.

    Everything was spotlessly clean and well maintained. The owners were very friendly and made us feel really welcome - thank you for the basket of goodies when we arrived - and for the card! Great location too - handy for jumping off to the broads and the coast. Nice and peaceful. Would definitely stay here again.

    Good to hear you made the most of your anniversary break notwithstanding the inclement weather at times. If you wish to return, we would both be pleased to see you again. Property Owner

  • "This is a wonderful place to stay."

    Very private, delightful hosts who are happy to chat but never intrusive. The cottage has everything necessary and more for a good break for four people, and is extremely comfortable, including good heating, 2 upstairs bathrooms (but no downstairs loo). The weather wasn’t conducive to using the garden, but that would be lovely in the summer.

    Thank you for the feedback. We're pleased you enjoyed your stay and that Bob had a good birthday. Thank you for leaving everything clean and tidy. Sorry about the weather! Should you wish for a return visit, we would be pleased to see you all again. Property Owner

    Hosts were welcoming, available and couldn't do enough for us. Most equipment we've ever seen in a rental property. Thanks to Tim and Sharon again for changing our booking only 7 days before our original booking because of a family emergency.

    It was lovely to meet you all. We trust you enjoyed the break. You were certainly very lucky with the weather at the beginning of the week and seemed to find plenty of places to explore.

    The Broads are nearby, as is the coast and it is only a short drive into Norwich with everything you might want or need. There's a village shop that is very handy and the area is beautiful. The gardens offered a peaceful and beautiful place to relax with very well maintained flower beds and hanging baskets. Out hosts who live next door were very mindful of our privacy while being on hand should we have any problems. They are both lovely people with cheerful and positive attitudes that we really liked. There was nothing negative about our week away here and I highly recommend this accommodation.

    We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Your feedback is much appreciated. Thank you for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy. We would love to see you again if you were returning to this part of the country. Property Owner

  • "Best holiday let we have stayed in."

    Sharon and Tim are perfect hosts, the welcome basket provided was lovely, and so useful after a long journey. Unlike many holiday properties, where the minimum of everything is provided (eg washing up liquid, toilet rolls), there was more than enough of everything we could have needed. The cottage is very well equipped and very comfortable, and the outside space delightful. The property is in a great location with a well stocked local shop and a pub doing good food within about 3 minutes walk. Also well within reach of many local attractions. We would recommend Walnut Tree Cottage without hesitation.

    Thank you very much for the lovely feedback. It is always nice to receive such positive comments. it was a pleasure to meet you both. Thanks also for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy.
