“First evening had problems using modern style electric hob with fingertip touch controls and makers "user unfreindly" operations manual.”

(My age related reduced skills). Mark and Terry came out and checked all was working properlyand gave me advice on hob control. Next day, (Sunday) all worked but I was unable to master the fine controls. Mark and Terry came over in the evening with a brand new "user friendly" style modern hob which they fitted, gave me all advice on use.

The location was ideal for our needs.

“A nice cottage in a really good location.”

This is the second time we have been there so it speaks for itself. A couple of drawbacks is there is NO mobile signal in and around the cottage but the owner has provided a BT phone for I assume guest use which is good. Also both visits we personally had trouble using the electric hob was it just us? Who knows but I did mention it in feedback. But would we stay there again a YES from us!

“The cottage and location as to be one of the best we have found as dog owners we couldn't have found a better spot .”

.Literaly loads of walks on the doorstep especialy the weavers way,also a small walk to the church as well ..Quiet and peaceful and the cottage had everything you needed as we found as we forgot our dog bowls and we found the cottage had some ..Already looking forward to when we can return ..

“Wonderful the photo of the front of cottage does not do justice to the inside.”

Spotless inside and very well stocked with useful items for people to use while staying.An ideal retreat if you want a rest and enjoy holiday with your dog .Right in middle of countryside but within reach of places to go easy . Only 10 miles from Cromer beautiful sea side and beach -while lots of places small towns and villages. Excellent

Mr Goldswain February 2020

“Very quiet and peaceful with plenty of wildlife to see.”

It was nice to find the little extras for us ( biscuits wine etc ). Great place for two.

Mrs Fletcher October 2019

“The cottage was lovely & cosy & very quiet.”

Thought the pictures didn't do it justice.Great walks straight from the door my dog thoroughly enjoyed himself.

- Mrs Fletcher, October 2019
Mrs Henzley September 2019

“Super little cottage.”

The owners had provided everything you could need. Only slight niggle .There was no gate at front of property so very tricky letting dog out to do her business.

- Mrs Henzley, September 2019
Mrs Castle August 2019

“We've been to Lock Cottage before and was not disappointed again this year.”

It's very comfortable and situated in a good place for exploring the Norfolk coastline. There are wonderful walks just behind the cottage which are great for walking the dog. All in all a wonderful little gem and hope to return again in the future. Will definitely recommend. Gill and Peter Castle

Mrs Ainsworth June 2019

“Our fourth break at this lovely cottage.”

The weather was bad for most of the week but we still had a wonderful, relaxing time. The local walks from outside the front door are perfect for our two 13 year old dogs.They get really excited when they realise where they are.

- Mrs Ainsworth, June 2019
Mrs Croydon May 2019

“A cosy and well equipped cottage in wonderful countryside with pet friendly walks.”

Nice welcoming touches for adults and pets. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Miss Williamson May 2019

“Bathroom heater exceptionally good.”

Lots of coathangers in wardrobe. Lots of cupboard space. Good information in cottage. Good wi-fi connection. Bit tricky getting TV to work. Parking area meant vehicle covered in sticky sap and bits from trees which took 2hrs to clean off. Vehicle vandalised whilst parked right near cottage drying off, not on road and not blocking access to anyone. Would advise parking on verge 30-50m away. Great area for cycling round country lanes and to seaside.

- Miss Williamson, May 2019
Mr Pollard March 2019

“We have stayed in Lock Cottage twice before & so had no hesitation in booking again this time.”

We have booked again already for October 2019! Lovely location, lovely walks for dogs, great pubs nearby & towns for shopping. Beach only just over 5 miles away.

- Mr Pollard, March 2019
Mr Hooley March 2019

“I feel the cottage WAS really well equipped but I did find things like the hob, microwave and light switch in the bathroom were TOO complicated for the normal person.”

Plus one thing that I feel MUST be added on the cottage advert is you CANNOT get a mobile phone signal when you are in the cottage! This might be VERY important to some people!

- Mr Hooley, March 2019
Miss Wood March 2019

“When we used the cottage last year the weather was good and we enjoyed our holiday and the cottage with our dog, Rosie.”

Sadly we lost Rosie at the end of last year but used the cottage anyway. Everything was as last year except the weather. It was very cold and we felt the central heating wasn't adequate. One evening I had 3 pairs of socks on to try and get my feet warm and had my fleece jacket over my legs. Likewise, my sister had a spare cardigan over her legs. Although the CH was set at a top rate of 22 degrees our clock barometer never read more than 16 degrees. If we put the electric fire on the CH went off and therefore, sadly, we were cold the whole time we were there which downrated our holiday. Apart from that the cottage is usually comfortable and certainly adequate but we were disappointed this time.

Mr Crawford February 2019

“Great little cottage for two (and dogs) A real bolthole with great walks from the doorstep”

- Mr Crawford, February 2019
Mrs Ainsworth December 2018

“A peaceful, relaxing Christmas break, the tree and decorations were lovely and the cottage as cosy as ever.”

When the dogs recognised where we were they dragged us off for a walk before we could even unpack the car. Looking forward to going back next June

- Mrs Ainsworth, December 2018
Mr Fitzgerald September 2018

“This is a really nice holiday let, it has everything you need and is in a very quiet rural location.”

It is the second time I have stayed there which says it’s all. It is dog friendly and I took my bicycle as the area is perfect for cycling. Nice and clean and a nice welcome pack. All in all for the money - excellent.

- Mr Fitzgerald, September 2018
Mrs Vince September 2018

“We enjoyed our week at this comfortable cottage and would stay there again without any hesitation.”

The bed was fantastically comfortable which is very important when spending a week somewhere! There were nice big bath sheets and we were grateful for the washing machine! We have reduced our marks in some categories simply as the utensils in the kitchen could be better and we did struggle a little with the hob but got there in the end! The cottage was clean but a few things need attention - there was some mould in the bathroom and the windows were quite dirty. However this did not detract from us enjoying our time there. It’s located in a lovely quiet lane with walks right on your doorstep. Value for money we would give 10/10!

- Mrs Vince, September 2018
Mrs Micallef July 2018

“Lovely, quaint, comfy cottage.”

Very well equipped. Only request would be bath sheets instead of Bath towels and bath mat. And it would be lovely to have a gate out the front so you could leave front door open and dogs could sit out there without fear of them running off as there is no garden.

- Mrs Micallef, July 2018
Mrs Mercer July 2018

“We booked this cottage as an urgent week away in Norfolk to attend my Mum's funeral.”

We only choose this cottage because it was in the same village as the church and could not believe our luck to find it available, but what a delight it was. It was so peaceful and allowed us to chill and reflect before the funeral, taking quiet walks with our dog along the nature trails. The bed was amazing and the cottage very comfortable. What could have been a horrible week turned into quite an experience. Thank you.

- Mrs Mercer, July 2018
Mrs Wade July 2018

“Lovely little cottage in very peaceful area.”

Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Stairgate at bottom of stairs would have more useful than stairgate at top....to stop dogs going up stairs. Also a small gate outside to prevent dogs from going in road would have been useful.....we used boot rack for this purpose! Bath towels were very small....would have taken our own if I had known. Also there was no bath mat which was a shame. On plus side the bed was most comfortable we have ever slept in during years of self catering!

- Mrs Wade, July 2018
Mrs Castle June 2018

“Having not booked a cottage before we didn't know what to expect.”

What a surprise! A little Gem. We took our little yorkie (Millie) who had a wonderful time exploring the local walks. The cottage exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much. Gill & Peter Castle

- Mrs Castle, June 2018
Mrs Ainsworth June 2018

“Our second visit to this lovely cottage.”

Little touches like the milk,cake and wine are very welcome. Lovely walks from the doorstep and so peaceful. We will be back for Christmas and have already booked for next year

Mrs Price December 2017

“2 Lock Cottages is a fantastic cottage.”

It was clean and comfortable and had all the facilities that we required. As we stayed there over Christmas there was a lot of festive touches including a lovely Christmas tree. The location was perfect for us and our two dogs, being so close to many walks and the Norfolk Coast. Have already booked another holiday there.

- Mrs Price, December 2017
