"Just as we remembered it from last year - comfortable and relaxing."
Good base for exploring. Many thanks to Christine and Vanessa for getting our Italian coffee maker back to us which somehow got left behind! I’m sure we will be back again some time in the future. :-)
It will be lovely to welcome you back to Bertelle again Property Owner

"We booked as it listed an open fire."
.this is not operational and was a big disappointment as this was the primary reason for booking. So to find it not working was a massive disappointment. There was a very loveky welcome package which was much appreciated. However, the heating was very variable to control and even though the owner tried too remedy it. In the end the cold was too much (-3) & we made the decision too leave 2 days early. This, however, doesn't detract from the cottage as overall its beautifully done and well equipped. And a special thank you is extended to the owner Christine who was as helpful and kind as could be. A very lovely lady. The cottage is excellently placed and everywhere is within an easy reach
Thank you for your positive comments overall. I have amended the listing to emphasis that the fireplace is not available for use and I will include details of how the heating works for future guests and hopefully this will be helpful to them. Thank you for drawing our attention to this, it is greatly appreciated. Property Owner

"Good contact prior to stay with excellent guidance for arrival."
The cottage was very clean, well set out and well equipped . The welcome pack was very much appreciated. We loved how the house was decorated for Christmas and it all added to our festive holiday. The cottage is ideally located for visiting Sandringham and the roads were easy to navigate in the snow blizzard. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone visiting North Norfolk.
Thank you for your very positive feedback. We hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

"We had a great week at the property the weather could have been better but this time of the year is what you expect."
My wife and I plus our to grand children [boys aged 10] ventured out to different places to the coast Fakenham, Holt, Kings Lynn. The village is very quiet with a good health centre and a local shop about a 100 yards away. The property had everything you required and had good quality furnishings and appliances.
I’m pleased you enjoyed yourselves despite the weather and thoroughly had a good time exploring the area. Hope to see you again sometime Property Owner

"Perfect little property found it very comfortable and in a great location."
Decor, furnishings, appliances, and overall cleanliness were all top-notch. Such a great location for exploring the area, we did all the tourist highlights and some lovely pubs close by. We found the parking more than adequate for our Polo, kitchen well equipped, and a nice welcome pack waiting on arrival. We will definitely stay here again.
I’m pleased you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves and hope to see you again sometime. Property Owner

"All communication with the owner was excellent."
As there was an event at the time we were travelling she messaged to ensure we were aware which was really thoughtful. The information provided about the property was great and those who stayed felt the cottage was lovely.
I’m pleased you all had a lovely time and hope you come to visit again. Property Owner

"The inside of Bertelle could not be faulted - clean, comfortable and cosy and well equipped and we had a lovely week at the cottage and in West Norfolk."
We just felt that the outside of the property could do with a little bit of tlc - weeds at the front, fences/walls could do with being painted at the rear but overall these are just minor improvements that would elevate this property to excellent in our opinion.
Thank you for your very positive review. Coincidentally, the cottage is being painted next week and the wall repaired. We had set aside 2 weeks for maintenance beginning September . Property Owner
-

"Very nice and comfortable cottage in a wonderful area of North West Norfolk."

"On arrival we did have a problem with the door lock which meant we couldn't gain immediate entry."
However after phoning the owners they responded immediately and sent someone quickly enabling us to gain entry. The owners were lovely and took prompt action to replace the lock & key and also pointed us in the direction of places to eat, visit & shop. As for the cottage we found it in perfect order and that everything needed was provided and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was excellent!
I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again. Thank you Property Owner

"Lovely well equipped and comfortable cottage."
well placed for visiting West and North Norfolk. Only 15 mins from Kings Lynn and Sandringham, close to many nature reserves and Hunstanton. Would love to return in the future.

"The whole holiday was great, the cottage was more than perfect, it had everything we could possibly need."
We like going walking so the utility room came in very handy as we had a few wet days so were able to dry our coats & boots etc. Certainly, we have it in our minds to return again in the future.
We’re pleased you had a good time and look forward to having you stay at Bertelle again. Property Owner

"This was one of the nicest cottages we’ve stayed in."
Everything was perfect for us. The area was close to family whom we visit yearly so we are already looking at dates for our return next year. Thankyou.
We will look forward to your return. Property Owner

"This is a very comfortable property."
Convenient for all North Norfolk. There are a couple of pubs nearby who serve good food. There is a nearer Pub but that is closed and has been sold. Local shop within a couple of hundred yards. Parking is available but can be awkward and difficult to find upon arrival. After that - no problem.Property benefits from a spacious fridge, and well-equipped Kitchen. Looking forward to returning in Spring next year to visit the Nature Reserves.
I’m pleased you enjoyed the area and look forward to you visiting again in the spring. Property Owner

"Everything provided for a comfortable care free holiday."
Plenty of things to do when in the cottage - TV, music centre, DVDs. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking a 'proper' meal, not just to warm up takeaways - but you could if you wanted to. I would suggest providing a steamer set of pans to cut down on energy usage, but there were enough other pans to accommodate what were wanted to cook. Cottage is ideally placed to see the local attractions - Sandringham House and Gardens, Hunstanton, King's Lynn, Vancouver Gardens, Castle Acre Priory and Castle etc. All in all, this was a good find for our holiday cottage and we wouldn't hesitate to book the place again if visiting the area.
We’re so pleased you enjoyed stay and look forward to you visiting again. Property Owner
-

"Cosy, comfortable, beautifully decorated."
Just perfect for our needs. Would definitely recommend and plan to return. Owners helpfully provided information on the local area (where there is so much to do), even providing an OS map with signed places of interest and good pubs and restaurants. There was also a very generous welcome pack-the wine for us and the sweets for the kids were gratefully received. Thank you.
We’re so pleased you’ve had a lovely time in Bertelle and Norfolk and look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

"The property was just perfect."
It was clean and comfortable, with lots of room to relax. Christine provided a number of thoughtful touches such as the welcome gift box, stair gate and booster seat for little ones. I can't think of anything that was missing. It was a perfect base for exploring great beaches, various walks and pretty villages. The village shop is very well stocked and is less than two minutes walk away. All in all, it was the perfect getaway, in a perfect property. Thank you for such a lovely time.

"This cottage had everything what you would have at your own home."
It was comfortable well equipped, from the kitchen to the bedrooms. We had one small problem which the owner fixed very quickly, also the owner followed up the problem to make sure everything was OK. The cottage is in a nice little village, Grimston from here you can go in many directions to do all you sightseeing.
-
"We loved our week at Bertelle, it was such a nice break away and we have very fond memories of our stay!"
The house was extremely comfortable and very well-equipped. As a family of four we were able to relax and enjoy the local area. We would love to return and would highly recommend to others.
-
"The accommodation was very good especially for people who are fit, healthy and have no mobility issues."
Can we suggest, that a sentence in the description of the property, states not suitable for people with mobility problems. When we booked this back in January, my mobility was not too bad, but over lockdown has deteriorated immensely. The stairs are steep and steps higher than the modern depth, and then having a further step up into the bedrooms, was quite difficult. We had to use the stair gate each night and leave the light on to advoid falling down the stairs whilst partially awake in the night. Also, the lounge seating was very low and impossible to get up from if your legs were weak. Having said this, the place was very well equipped, we just feel something should be stated in the details to avoid other people meeting these problems
-
"Well placed for touring but nothing to do in the village"
-
"Lovely house and very well stocked with everything you need (and more)."
Really well positioned with lots to do in local area.
-
"The house was absolutely perfect; spotlessley clean and exactly as shown in the pictures."
Everything appeared new and in full working order and the kitchen really did have everything you could need. A nice quiet village with easy access to all local routes - a short trip to the local supermarket and very close to Kings Lyn and the coast. The small shop in the village supplied just about everything you could think of. Lots of walks and cycle routes (off road) on the doorstep so no need to drive anywhere unless you want to.
-
"This cottage was one of the best equipped we have ever stayed in."
Apart from a slight problem with a key (which the owner sorted out the same day) we had a lovely week.
-
"Wonderful cottage in a peaceful setting."
Just perfect for getting away from it all. Loved the kitchen . Lovely comfy beds. A great local pub 20 min walk away that serves great food. Warm and cozy all week.
-

Very clean and tidy, and beautifully furnished. Very quiet location. Would definitely come back. *****
-
"Lovely holiday home,everything you could possibly want,a nice welcome of wine and biscuits, the owner has done a fantastic job of renovating the property,we will definitely be back."
-
"The cottage was beautiful and in a lovely location,it was comfortable and had everything provided,modernised to a high standard,credit to the owners who have expensive tastes it shows."
-
"It's some years since we had a self catering cottage holiday, and how things have changed if this one is anything to go by."
Gone are the mismatching crockery and cutlery, the paper thin towels and poor equipment. The owners had thought of everything and provided it as if they were going to stay themselves. There was a welcome basket including a bottle of wine, Duchy biscuits, crisps and tea, coffee, sugar and milk, all of which were much appreciated. A comprehensive renters manual told us all we needed to know, and the OS map with local tourist attractions, pubs/restaurants and recommended routes marked on it was a touch of genius The kitchen was a dream to work, and the lounge/dining room was superbly comfortable. Upstairs both bedrooms were well beyond what we expected in terms of equipment and comfort. There was even room to stow the cushions out of the way (Bloke's comment!). In the bathroom there was a spacious separate shower as well as a huge bath Outside there was plenty of room to park and enjoy the evening sun, in fact the weather was so good we ate in the garden most nights. (Unfortunately we didn't figure out how to put the cover back on the sun umbrella without shinning up the pole. Hope the owner found it in the cushion storage box) The village store across the road is well stocked and reasonably priced. All in all this was a superb cottage
-
"We had the most perfect week at Bertelle's."
The cottage is perfectly presented with everything provided for our use. Can't speak highly enough of the quality of the decoration and appliances.
-
"Accommodation was first class."
Location was great easy for visiting local area. Wine, eggs biscuits etc on arrival. Really lovely.
-
"One of best cottages that we have had the experience to stay in."
So peaceful and well designed. Fully equipped leaving you so relaxed . We would normally want to find places to eat out, we fortunately found the cooker and oven were so good and easy to use that we eat in every night. The rooms are large, sofa and beds large and really comfortable. The owners are easily contactable. Thank you Richard and Christine.
