    Being an older person I wondered if a hand rail of some kind would be useful getting in and out of the high bath than relying on holding onto the sink

  • "A delightful cottage in a lovely location and close to amenities."

    It was extremely clean and very well equipped. To have a designated parking place outside was excellent. The bathroom was modern with a high bath, a grab handle would be useful for older guests. We had a most enjoyable stay.

  • "Beautiful clean well maintained cottage in a quiet area of Heacham."

    The cottage provides plenty of utensils and crockery. The bed was comfortable and enough space in the main bedroom. The front garden is secure which ensures a safe area for a dog. Parking directly outside the cottage was very useful. Excellent communication with the owners David and Caroline prior to our stay and we were aware they could be contacted should we required anything or had any queries. We had a great say and will definitely be back.

    Hi Mr Cunliffe, thank you for the feedback. I have been at the cottage this week and fixed the toilet seat (it had slipped and needed tightening) and the cooker door needed the screws tightened. Hope to see you return one day David Property Owner

    the only thing which would have been nice was a mop or queazy as when entering in the rain especially with a dog, no means of wiping up the wet floor, as if anyone staying this week will find out as the force act is for rain most of the week. it would have been nice to find a visiter's book, only small things, but overall BRILLIANT.

    Close to beaches, shops, pub and fish and chip shop. Sunday roast at Fox and Hounds (5 minute walk away) best we’ve ever had. Quite small for 4 adults but ideal for 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 small children. Would cone back but dog was not happy with pebbled secure front garden. Overall it was a lovely cottage but prefer grass lawned garden

  • "We had a lovely stay at Tawny Cottage."

    Everything was as anticipated. Instructions clear and accurate. The cottage was a good temperature on arrival and the heating really easy to control. It was really good to have the dedicated parking space as the street is not wide and all the parking taken most evenings. So the fenced space in front of the cottage was so obviously to do with the cottage no one else was going to use it. We walked to The West Norfolk for a meal which was good value and the staff friendly and welcoming. We didn't get around to sampling the fish and chips form the near by chippy! Tawny Cottage is in a great location for exploring this bit of the Norfolk coast which was beautiful despite the low temperatures. Wild Ken worth a visit and the thousands of Pink Footed Geese leaving the Wash at 7am seen from Snettisham sea wall just magical. Welney is only 45 minutes away. A great place to stay.
