• "Really loved this property."

  Much bigger inside than it looks, very comfy beds. Lots of little touches that made it a holiday HOME. Well set out and equipped for the dog lover. Just one slight drawback and it really wasn't for us. If you have any sort of even slight mobility problem the stairs wind and a quite awkward. We left the hall light on so we could see to go downstairs at night. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys rural tranquility and beautiful local walking

• "A beautiful cottage in a quiet Norfolk village close to the Norfolk Broads and some stunning beaches."

  The cottage has everything you need for your stay. There is a secure garden for your pet too, and a lovely patio area for a glass of red wine in the evenings. There is a pub within a very short walking distance, with lovely food served at lunchtime and in the evening. Sea Palling beach is a short drive away, dog friendly too. Horsey Bay is also a short drive away and the perfect place to see the seals. We had a wonderful break, and the cottage is highly recommended! Thank you.

• "A beautiful cottage set in a lovely village with good walks nearby."

  A private garden to enjoy in the evening. The property is very spacious and with excellent facilities. Very comfortable and relaxing. Only a short walk to a very welcoming pub which served delicious meals and also had a very safe garden for our three children. The village is well placed for safe swimming at Sea Palling and Mundersley. Varied activities within the area. It is definitely a cottage and location that we would revisit. A very big thank you to the owners.

  Lovely garden, comfortable beds! It really was home from home! Only Suggestion is a fan as we were there 2 very hot nights and sleeping was difficult. Very accessible to Great Yarmouth which our grandchildren loved!!

• "The cottage itself was really nice but there could have been more done on the maintenance side of things."

  The cleaning of the property could have been better. Dusting around the bedside cabinets as there were spiders and webs. The locality was really good for travelling around. The only thing that wasn’t mentioned is the amount of mosquitoes. Apart from myself the rest of the family had at least 4/5 bites.

• "We all loved Kingsley Cottage which is warm and nicely decorated and had everything we needed for a relaxed and comfortable stay."

  We filled our short break with nearby walks and visits to the coast which the two children loved. The only disappointment was not being allowed to extend my stay for myself and my dog even though the property was not booked for the next week.

• "A very nice and comfortable cottage, and a good location for visiting the Broads, Norfolk and Suffolk."

  Also, close to the Greyhound Pub, where we enjoyed a couple of nice dinners. It is recommended. The only drawbacks were the spiral staircase and the absence of an upstairs toilet, which made it a little bit difficult for the oldies. I ought to have taken more notice of the facilities listed on the website.

• "A nice cottage tucked away in quiet village."

  Central location for access to beach, countryside and the broads. Owners were very helpful when we encountered a couple of problems which were quickly dealt with and generously returned some money for our inconvenience. Not many would have gone that far and it was greatly appreciated.

• "The cottage itself was beautiful and in an idyllic location and we would definitely stay again purely for the location and the garden was lovely and secure for the dogs."

  However we had the clean it thoroughly upon arrival. The kitchen was dirty, particularly the floor. The fridge needed cleaning, there were cobwebs all over and the skirting boards were filthy. The hoover left onsite needs the bag changing, this could be partly the issue. That said, the cottage was extremely well equipped and the beds were comfortable. We also had issues with the neighbours having building work done which would start at 9am daily disturbing the peace somewhat. (This is no reflection on the property, simply feedback incase any further guests complain). Overall we had a really lovely stay, it was a shame about the cleanliness, we definitely left it cleaner than when we arrived.

• "Great week in Hickling staying in Kingsley Cottage."

  Everything you would need and more. Although facing main road through the village, it was very quiet with little traffic at all times of the day. Short 3 minute walk to a excellent pub. Plenty of walks for the dogs up the road to Hickling Broad. Ideal base with both beach and broads within a few minutes drive. Bonus was the amount of farm and garden produce available locally. Would definitely recommend to all.

• "A lovely, cosy, well equipped cottage, I had just about the worst weather imaginable, exceedingly wet & windy, but being in the cottage was a delight."

  Just one comment (not a criticism) though, in the info pack all we are asked to do is to put our waste in the appropriate bins outside - no problem there. Please bear in mind that people from outside the area have different colour coded bins, for example I was looking for the glass recycling box, is there one? what bin do I put it in?. I have four different collections at home, food, plastics & paper, glass and general waste so I feel that a bit more info may help us do right by the owners & the environment.

  Cottage delightful, very well equipped, plenty of games, toys and books, wifi much used. Fresh flowers and shortbread much appreciated. This is a lovely part of the country, we took boat trips, nature trails and plenty of days on Sea Palling beach as the weather was wonderful. Quote from three year old granddaughter in the car, near to tears, 'I don't want to leave Norfolk.' I think we all felt the same.
