“A lovely week in a fantastic cottage.”

Warm, clean and comfortable with everything you need. Great position to explore the local area. Walking distance to 2 lovely pubs and the shop. Perfect! Thank you.

“The cottage is well situated to enjoy this part of Norfolk, close to a number of pubs and a well stocked Co-op.”

A cosy little property but although there was only myself and my wife we felt that the fridge could do with being a lot bigger. Apart from that it was quite satisfactory.

“This is a lovely cottage in a pleasant and friendly village with a co-op, 2 pubs, a restaurant and an excellent fish and chip shop.”

The information given on the website is accurate but the photos do not give the full extent of the size of the property- it goes back and back with a lovely garden behind. The cottage is provided with everything you need and is warm and comfortable. Jacky gave us full control over the heating, which we found to be perfect. The parking is exactly as is said in the description. Our Golf fit on it and we found no problem getting onto it. Our daughter had brought her car, which she parked 50 yards away on a residential street with no issues. We found the cottage to be an excellent base for exploring North Norfolk and would have no hesitation in booking again.

“There were a few problems, mainly with the parking on the ‘driveway’.”

It is awkward to get on it as there is always traffic coming both ways. It was a very busy road which was not mentioned. The car also stuck out over the path. The settees were not at all comfortable, good job we were out all day! The heating is left on all day and night so in the middle of the night it comes on and wakes you up, so we had to turn it right down, consequently it was cold in the morning. To get hot water to flow in the kitchen we had to run out about a gallon of water every time. In these days of conversation that is a lot of water wasted every day. The beds in the second bedroom were really children’s beds and not at all suitable for adults. On the plus side the property was very clean and very very warm. Wouldn’t book the same one again though.

Dear Mr Oliver I was sorry to hear via your feedback that you were unhappy with some aspects of your recent stay in Duck cottage. I agree that Lynn Road can be busy at certain times, . The lack of a dropped kerb and a description of the drives dimensions are included in the cottages description. The 2 bunk beds in the smaller room are 2 foot 6 single beds and are not marketed as children's beds. They are the same length as most other beds We had left the heating on constant as the temperature had varied such allot over the recent weeks in East Anglia, going from very cold to wet and mild very quickly. I had hoped that this would give our guests more flexibility to adjust the temperature of the cottage to meet their needs. Rather then leaving the heating to come on at scheduled times throughout the day. I had left our contact details in the cottage and do wish you had called us on one of the three numbers we provided. I would have been more then happy to talk you through adjusting the programmer from constant to timed. Or coming out to adjust the programmer to meet your needs. There is also allot of information regarding adjusting the programmer in the cottage information folder. The programmer is in the smaller wardrobe of the master bedroom. We do take all customer feedback seriously as we like to think that are customers have an enjoyable break in Duck Cottage, and in future will ask the client whether they prefer the heating to be left on timed or constant. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for leaving the cottage so very clean and tidy upon your departure. Yours Jacky Richardson. Sykes owner relations

About the location

SNETTISHAM

Heacham 3 miles; Royal Sandringham 4 miles; Hunstanton 5 miles.

Snettisham is a traditional Norfolk village, with many of its houses built from the local iron-rich carr stone, which has an attractive golden-brown colouring. Due to this, the buildings are known locally as “gingerbread houses”. Village amenities include general stores, a Post Office, 2 inns, a bistro and a regular bus service to the bustling, family-friendly seaside resort of Hunstanton and historic King’s Lynn. The church of St Mary sits alone on top of the hill and is certainly worthy of a look inside at the exquisitely decorated tracery flowers on the west window. There is an RSPB bird sanctuary close to the beach, which is three miles away, and the ancient Peddars Way public footpath runs near to the village. Park Farm is on the edge of the village, and is a working farm with year-round activities for all the family, including a 45-minute “deer safari” and the chance to feed some of the animals. The Royal Estate of Sandringham, whose impressive house, gardens and church are open to the public, is nearby, as are the plant farm, tea rooms and gift shop at Norfolk Lavender, England's premier lavender farm.
