“The cottage was better in reality than it appeared in the photographs on line.”

The owner had done everything possible in the current circumstances to ensure that everything was clean and to a high standard . The facilities were excellent. We had an excellent family holiday , with two small children 4 and under. The garden area was extremely safe for the children to play in . There was ample room to park two cars .

Mrs Ryder February 2020

“Our son and daughter in law plus children had a lovely but stormy (storm Denis) half term break in one of their favourite parts of the country.”

No wifi was a downside for them but they got round that and played plenty of games instead. This was the grandchildren's Christmas present from us and they found it an excellent base to explore from

“Really lovely converted barn, well equipped and an ideal base to see the North ...”

Really lovely converted barn, well equipped and an ideal base to see the North Norfolk coast and our family around Norwich

- Mr Burden, December 2019
Mrs Fox October 2019

“Do not hesitate to book this accommodation.”

It is warm, spacious and in a great setting. You can walk into Cromer from here but quite a hill on the way back. If you have young children the space offered is amazing but be warned not very soundproof! Therefore if your child wakes at 5am, so probably does everyone else! But we absolutely loved it. Would always return. Owner also very friendly and approachable. Well stocked kitchen and good quality fixtures and fittings. Good value for money.

- Mrs Fox, October 2019
Mrs Byrne October 2019

“The accomodation was excellent also very quiet area.”

Five minutes easy drive to Cromer. The only thing I would suggest is that for 7 people I would expect a larger and more efficient fridge. Mr Brown was a very friendly approachable man . Thank you.

- Mrs Byrne, October 2019
Mr Turner June 2019

“Initial expectations were high from the web site entry so 'met expectations' not a criticism.”

We had a wet week but the Paddocks was extremely welcoming on a return from a soggy day trip. All facilities well maintained and comfortable. Could maybe do with a couple more non kiddie DVDs but then we were a 'mature' group. Good pubs with food a short drive away. Especially recommend Vernon Arms in Southrepps. Cromer museum good for a couple of hours as is the Lifeboat station. Cley Nature reserve great for birdwatchers.

- Mr Turner, June 2019
Ms Baudrey June 2019

“The property was more than I hoped for.”

Well equipped, clean and the little touches provided by the owner was amazing. Home from home and didn't want to leave. We met Mr Brown there and he was lovely. It was the first week I had away in 14 years and it couldn't have been better. Thanks to everyone there and at Sykes.

Mr Lovatt December 2018

“7 people stayed 5 nights over New Year.”

Plenty of room, very clean and well presented. Walk down to Cromer was about 25 min just right to avoid parking problems and walk off the Fish and Chips on the way back. Dog also loved the paddock to run about in. We all really enjoyed the stay. Thanks

“Mr Brown is a very pleasant host.”

The Paddocks is very well equipped, very spacious home from home. Would recommend this place to anyone & will certainly return for future holidays.

Mrs Edge August 2018

“The accommodation was superb , very well equipped and comfortable.”

Location great and good parking . We had two small children with us and they could play safely in the garden. The facilities left nothing to be desired except perhaps a WiFi connection .

“Perfect little Gem”

I wanted somewhere near Cromer for the whole family to go to celebrate our 30th Wedding anniversary. What a find! The pictures do it no justice at all. The barn is beautifully restored. A lovely welcome pack greeted us. The Kitchen was so well equipped. All of the bedrooms were lovely and big, so spacious (two en suites and a main bathroom) and it was so quiet. We had a 3 year old and a 9 month old with us and the garden was gated off so very safe for them. Luckily we had brilliant weather. There is a pond fenced off, so the children went pond dipping for tadpoles which they loved. All in all a lovely weekend, would definitely recommend. .

- JENR1958, May 2018
Mr Thomson April 2018

“While the weather in North Norfolk was appalling (thick fog all week, except for the Saturday we arrived, and the Saturday we left!”

), we had a very comfortable stay at The Paddocks, and appreciated the comfort and amenities all the more for being more house bound. My feeling is that the pictures on your website don't really do the building justice - it is a beautiful home, very thoughtfully and tastefully converted and furnished, and it would be lovely to see it better represented in the images, to continue to attract holiday makers, like us, who have really enjoyed our stay there. We also found the two brothers who run the accommodation very welcoming, friendly and willing to give any assistance.

- Mr Thomson, April 2018
Mr West March 2018

“Very good barn conversion cottage.”

Lots of space and well appointed. Good location for Cromer and north Norfolk. A few minor points which would help in the future. In the downstairs bathroom would suggest a higher shower holder plus shower curtain. So you can use the shower easier. Also while we were there the fan in the oven did not work so that caused delays in cooking things. But these did not spoil the holiday and we really liked the barn and had a good time. The pictures do not do it justice.

- Mr West, March 2018
Miss Reynolds December 2017

“The property is very good value for money and extremely well equipped.”

My only feedback would be for the main bathroom to have a normal shower as there is only one other shower and for a family of 7 it was quite difficult for us all to get showered each morning.

- Miss Reynolds, December 2017
Mrs Davis December 2017

“Location was great.”

Within easy reach of lots of walks and attractions. We specifically came to Norfolk to take 3 generations of the family to the Thursford Xmas show which was exceptional. Our cottage was well appointed, warm and well stocked. The lay out particulary suited my family as parents are elderly and the downstairs bedroom with en suite suited their needs perfectly. Would definitely book again.

- Mrs Davis, December 2017
Mrs O'Shea September 2017

“Lovely accommodation - very clean and comfortable and well placed for exploring the area.”

Made to feel very welcome. A shame the upstairs twin room doesn't have easy access to toilet facilities. Also would have appreciated wi-fi.

- Mrs O'Shea, September 2017
Dr Reeves July 2017

- Dr Reeves, July 2017
Mr Tomkins March 2017

Mr Elsden October 2016

“The Paddock was always warm as the heating was on for good period morning and evening.”

Very close to good Chinese take away and Fish & Chip shop. We're able to get in as soon as we arrived although we were about an hour early.

- Mr Elsden, October 2016
Mr West October 2016

“Only one request - a standard lamp or similar, for reading in the evenings - as the lighting is generally quite subdued.”

This is not a criticism! Could not fault the accommodation - everything had been thoughtfully arranged and provided.

“A Week Wasn't Long Enough!!”

To be first met at the property by very friendly and welcoming owner. Property had everything from washing amenities to milk for a cup of tea,sugar and tea bags.Lovely renovation of the property and great heating option of log burner too! Location ideal for exploring the north Norfolk coast. (Also as I didn't want my dog going upstairs to find stairgates in the cupboard was a blessing) I would definitely stay here again Thank you to the owner for making it all part of a great Holiday

Mr Garbett July 2016

“Beautiful accommodation in really quiet surroundings, perfect for a relaxing get away.”

It is 5 minutes from the main town and seafront, couldn't ask for a better holiday destination. This was a superb barn conversion which was modern, very spacious and spotless throughout; the perfect mix for a great holiday.

Mrs Wright October 2015

“Lovely cottage in a great area with lots to see and do.”

The sea is very close and you can be in Cromer in minutes. Several supermarkets close by. The cottage has everything you could possibly need. It is very comfortable and clean. There is loads of outside space too, the grounds are very nicely kept and the Paddock is large, would be great for kids to have a kick-about in. I would highly recommend this lovely house and congratulate the owners for getting everything so right.

- Mrs Wright, October 2015
Miss Bayliss September 2015

“The Paddocks really suited our family, it was spacious, very clean and well equipped.”

It was also very suitable for our dog, secure garden and an area to exercise her. The location was also excellent.

- Miss Bayliss, September 2015
Mrs Ratcliff August 2015

We have never stayed in a barn conversion before and we all thought it was decorated to a very high standard.

It's location was central for lots of places to visit.

- Mr Nyman, June 2015
Mrs Manderson April 2015

“We loved the size, location and style of the barn.”

The beams looked lovely and the wood burner was a winner! The courtyard was a lovely sun-trap and there was everything you could possibly want; a real home from home. The field at the front was ideal for dogs to run around safely. The owner that showed us round when we arrived was very helpful and informative.

- Mrs Manderson, April 2015

“Lovely accommodation and little extras provided (wine,tea,biscuits).”

Would definitely visit again.

- Mrs Wykes, February 2015
Mr Stock February 2015

“A excellent home from home in a lovely quiet location.”

The enclosed garden for our dog and the paddock was a bonus. Convenience shops and a vets were just a few minutes walk away. House was kept warm by the heating at all times, the wood burner was nice but not really needed. Had the bonus of a shower room and two toilets downstairs! The kitchen was a lovely space to cook in and the dishwasher a bonus. The rear patio was a lovely sun trap early morning.

“amazing stay”

The barn was ideally situated for walking into Cromer as my son had taken his puppy with us. We also had spoken to the owner to find out what pots/pans baking trays etc were availible as we were planning to cook come dine with me experinence on 3 nights as travelled with older children and we all enjoy cooking. the owner bought extra mixing bowls and was going to buy a yorkshire pudding tin for us. We took our own but one had been bought and placed in the property. The accomadation was ideal for family only downfall is no en-suite in 1 x upstairs room but it did not spoil our stay.. The kitchen was definatly home form home coudl not have asked for more. The gardens are very clean and tidy, so was property, a few cobwebs but to be expected in a barc conversion. Owner availble if we had any problems, which we didnt. Certainly would recommend and would be more than happy to go back.

Mr Giddings October 2014

“Overall the property and area was excellent and very quiet which with having a dog with us was what we were looking for as we were able to let him out of the door without worrying about him running off.”

The owners were very nice people and made us feel very welcome. We will certainly wish to return for another holiday there providing the cost does not increase very much as for a totally self catering rental we felt it was just right .

A FlipKey verified reviewer October 2013

“A Fantastic place to stay.”

We were given a friendly and welcoming greeting on arrival. Our family consisted of 5 adults, 1 toddler and 2 dogs. The accommodation was spacious, well equipped and above all clean. All the beds were made ready for our arrival. We had to request some bedding for the toddler. Which was dealt with quickly and we were not made to feel we were asking above and beyond. The field opposite was an absolute bonus to walk the dogs and our grandson loved feeding the ducks. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend. We will be returning in the future.
