“The cottage was beautifully kept & clean.”

It had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The owner even popped round to make sure we had everything we needed and there was a yummy homemade cake waiting for us on arrival....lovely touch!

“The double bed was very uncomfortable, and upon inspection so were the single beds .”

The duvet on the double bed was 13.5tog, which was excessive in summer - especially in the hot weather at the beginning of July. We could not wait to get home to our own bed! Recommend the mattresses were replaced and 'combination' duvets are used. The area around the outside door was really thick with dead rose petals and leaves, the garden furniture was dirty and a few chairs were covered in bird droppings, making it unusable, which was disappointing in the hot weather. Some cupboard space for our own dry goods, in the kitchen would have been appreciated too. Also, the electrical switches were not in obvious places, so labelling would have been a good idea. Parking was tricky - the gateway was only just wide enough for our large car, and there was just enough space for 1 medium and 1 large car on the gravel. The windows (velux) were very dirty too.

“The house is perfectly positioned for village, beach and city amenities, beautiful area, plenty of thing to do.”

We enjoyed our three nights stay there, just a quick tip for the visitors, to bring soap or bath gel with them as we had to travel to the city to get the soap for bathroom and sponge for cleaning the dishes.

“Booking process was great.”

I sent in request and called night before arrival. Booking person at sykes went above and beyond to make sure all ok in time. Owner phoned that night to confirm key details etc

“The property owner was friendly, helpful and approachable.”

When a problem developed with the kettle, it was replaced immediately. The quiet, country location was just right for us, and all the places we wanted to visit were close at hand.

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly

It's a beautiful cottage. Very comfortable , good location for travelling around Norfolk. It's near the village of Coltishall and also near the narrow guage railway.

- Mary Evelyn M, July 2017
“This is a great little spot and a great place to base yourself for a Norfolk Holiday.”

The property itself is as close to perfect as you could get and the lovely fresh cake we got on arrival set the tone for a perfect week.

“Sweet briar barn was very well equipped and comfortable”

“A beautiful family cottage, perfectly located and in a beautiful”

We spent one week at Sweet Briar Barn and loved the cottage - it was beautifully presented, with everything we could possibly have needed for our family of five and with many of those 'extra touches' which made our time there extra-special. It is set in a beautiful, quiet location and is perfectly located for the many local attractions around the Broads, as well as only being a short drive to the many beautiful beaches. We could not have wished for more!

About the location

COLTISHALL

Wroxham 4 miles; Norwich 9 miles.

The pretty Norfolk Broadland village of Coltishall is known locally as the ‘Gateway to the Broads’, where, on Coltishall Common, you can find an array of moored boats sitting along the banks of the River Bure. The banks of the River Bure are the picturesque setting of Coltishall Staithe, a large grassed area enjoying riverside pubs and restaurants, a village store/Post Office and attractive cottages. In summer, both locals and visitors enjoy relaxing picnics, feeding the ducks and playing ball games, while in winter, the local waterfowl enjoy Coltishall Staithe’s riverside tranquillity. On the outskirts of Coltishall is the summertime pick-up stop of the Bure Valley Railway, a narrow gauge steam and diesel service running between the market town of Aylsham and Wroxham, and walkers can enjoy the riverside footpath from Coltishall Lock. The local area offers a wide choice of places to visit from craft barns and beautiful gardens to National Trust properties and Redwings Horse Sanctuary, while river boat trips can also be enjoyed. With Norfolk’s beautiful and varied coastline within easy reach, this is a lovely location for discovering Norfolk.
