“Lovely little cottage.”

Very well kept. Much more than expected. Had everything you need. Did not use a lot of stuff that we took because it was provided. Excellent

“The cottage in a good quiet location.”

Cleaners left all cups and glasses dirty . Dishwasher required both salt or rinse aid which the cleaners should have noticed. Doors especially upstairs need a coat of paint and shower not pheasant with cracked tiles and brown stained sealant. The above not good but the worse part was the garden , obviously not been touched this year , full of weeds, over hanging hedges, rubbish cuttings from last year dumped at the side of the cottage . Broken tiles and sleepers . The garden could be really nice if time and care spent maintaining it.

“Went for a short break check out was 10am had cleaning van at 9.”

30am asking if we were going to be long! Felt we were rushed out a nice end to a relaxing holiday.

“The cottage is in a quiet lane, a peaceful location, and we enjoyed our few days here.”

We went in March and the kitchen was very cold, having just a small floor-level fan heater. The living room and bedroom each had an electric radiator which were efficient, but we had trouble keeping the woodburner alight - either the dampers aren't working properly, the chimney needs sweeping or maybe the wood is too green. No lovely cosy fire unfortunately! The kitchen is well-equipped, the bed and pillows comfortable. The garden is secure for pets. The stairs may be tricky for some as they are the traditional Norfolk winder staircase which are often found in these little cottages.

- Mr Dean, March 2020
“Very relaxing and quiet as we wanted peaceful surroundings.”

The cottage was the right size for our base and we were close to shops when needed. The local countryside was beautiful and we really enjoyed the whole cottage experience.

- Mrs Hurlow, March 2020
“Great location for trips out, lovely and cosy cottage perfect space for family of 4.”

- Mr White, February 2020
“A welcome pack would be nice, especially when arriving after dark on a Friday evening to find no milk, tea, etc and only kindling, no logs.”

Perhaps a warning also about the low doorways. Judging by the comments in the Visitors Book I wasn't the only person to back my head on numerous occasions!

- Mr Cooke, December 2019
“Cottage warm and comfortable but settee very uncomfortable.”

Unfortunately we have always had a welcome pack, if only milk and biscuits but there was nothing at all. Blind in kitchen broken, sink plunger very stiff in bathroom and bathroom door top hinge very loose. We left them note about these . Could have done with list of Doc, dentist, vets numbers. Couldn't find any or bin days.just little niceties we come to expect of Sykes

“Headroom could be an issue for taller people as low door frames & beams .”

.. but a fitting feature for the cottage ... fortunately we are not tall people

- Mrs Crompton, August 2019
“Broom cottage was very comfortable & quite.”

The only problem was the doors are very,very small, I'm 4ft 11& just could walk through. My partner is5ft 10 & he had a couple of nasty head bangs. Needs to be pointed out.

- Mrs Bond, August 2019
“What I most enjoyed about this gem of a cottage is its tranquility.”

It is situated down a lane which is an unmade up Road so no passing traffic just the sound of birds. It has a very private garden backing onto a Meadow and there is also a Meadow at the front. The cottage is small but charming. Have already booked my next trip.

- Mrs Collins, July 2019
“We had a lovely 5 days at Broom Cottage.”

It is a charming little cottage, the weather wasn't kind so we especially appreciated the log burner. The cottage is in a lovely quiet location, but well placed for days out with the dog, and we were super impressed with how dog friendly Norfolk is. We had everything we needed to self cater for the week, and everything was clean and fresh. There are instructions for all appliances and helpful guides in the welcome pack. We are planning our return visit.

- Ms Riley, May 2019
“This a nice cottage in a good location, and with good facilities we particularly liked having a dishwasher.”

The outside area was very private and we enjoyed sitting on the patio listening to the birds. The only reason we will not return is because we are getting old and I am almost 70 and my wife has severe arthritis in her hands and feet and we both found climbing the stair difficult.

- Mr Lee, April 2019
“Very cosy, comfortable cottage.”

Thank you for the logs . . . . we enjoying making use of the log burner. Great location for birdwatching. We did struggle a little with the shower - but that was a very minor point!

- Mr Baker, February 2019
“Broom Cottage is charming, very compact, but well set up with everything required.”

The wood burner makes it cosy in the evenings and the enclosed garden is a great benefit, especially if you have dogs. The location is quiet and peaceful although just a few minutes walk to the Rainbow shop and the Crown pub, both excellent, plus the wonderful coastline and the many pretty North Norfolk towns and villages all within easy reach.

- Ms Janes, September 2018
“Lovely secluded cottage in a very quiet backwater.”

Very picturesque and pretty. Great base for exploring the North Norfolk coast. Wells about 15 minutes away. The cottage was tastefully decorated with neutral walls and furnishings. Internet fast and strong (an essentail these days!). The kitchen was well laid out with everything you would expect in a modern home. Clean and very functional. The village was pretty with an excellent pub and Cafe. The pub was very tasteful with friendly staff. The holiday was very restful and our lovely Cavestie enjoyed the enclosed and safe back garden. Will use again.

- Mr Wilson, September 2018
“We had a fantastic week in late August at Broom Cottage.”

Perfect for families with youngish kids, probably wouldn't recommend for four adults or families with older kids especially if they are tall. The back garden and patio were much bigger than expected which was nice. The kitchen was well equipped and everything was clean. Having read previous reviews we turned up with towels, dishcloths, tea towels and Cillit Bang mould remover etc but didn't need any of them. Handy for the north Norfolk coast including old Hunstanton, Brancaster and Cromer, our favourite was Wells / Holkham Bay but it was all lovely. The village of East Rudham is lovely too, with an excellent butcher who smokes his own bacon and the Rainbow Stores is brilliant too. The kids want to go back next year!

- Mr Holt, August 2018
“A lovely peaceful cottage in a great location.”

The cottage is hidden away down a slightly bumpy but gorgeous little back lane away from traffic but within a short walk of the village. It had most of the things we look for including wifi, a dishwasher and freeview TV as well as a woodburner. Shower was good although a bath would be perfect. The village has an excellent gastropub, a teashop with homemade cakes and local crafts and a small grocery shop. We can't wait to come back.
