“We had a great week's holiday in a lovely part of the world.”

There was a friendly welcome from the owner, and she even laid on fantastic weather for the week :). The bathroom for the cottage is a bit too twee (small), but as the owner said, once you're in the shower it's all fine....there just remains the challenge of getting in and out for those of us with a bit of girth! But that's just a minor inconvenience, offset by the rest of the cottage, which was perfect.

“We enjoyed our stay at Holly Cottage.”

The listed remarks about the small bathroom and steep flight of stairs were accurate but not until you live in the cottage to you realise the problems. Our main concern was the distance from the nearest pub and shop - this was listed as being 8 minutes. This is way off the mark, the walk took nearer 20 minutes in fact.

“We had a wonderful week at Holly Cottage and Brod and Jane made us very welcome.”

In fact we think it was the nicest welcome we have ever had anywhere! It was lovely to have a Welcome Pack of wine, bread, butter, jam and milk on arrival which meant we did not have to immediately hit the supermarket after our long drive - very thoughtful. The cottage was beautifully decorated (not just functional) and was a joy to be in. We firmly believe in "why would we want to go away anywhere to a place less comfortable and attractive to live in than our own home" Brod and Jane's cottage definitely fitted the bill. We knew the bathroom was described as "compact". We found it manageable but a bit on the "snug" side and that was the only reason we didn't give Holly Cottage top marks across the board. We found the experience of booking straightforward and communications with directions etc very helpful. Also if you have a dog it's useful to know that there is quite a busy road before safe walking is possible.

The property

This lovely mid-terrace cottage is situated on the outskirts of the market town of Swaffham in North Norfolk.

This delightful holiday home is an ideal base for a couple or small family with plenty of things to see and do within easy reach.

Once you have parked your car at the front of the cottage you enter into a small porch area, where you can leave your shoes and coats before going into the kitchen.

From the kitchen is a spacious sitting room with dining area.

In this room there’s a warming woodburning stove and comfy seating, as well as enough seats around the dining table to accommodate all guests.

On a sunny day you can let the outside in when you open the French doors that lead you out onto the garden.

Leading off the kitchen are stairs to the first floor, where you will find two bedrooms, a master double and a twin, together with a compact bathroom with corner bath and shower over.

The garden is lawned and includes a decked area, with firepit and furniture, a great place to enjoy an alfresco meal at any time of the day.

Within walking distance is Swaffham, with its independent shops and pubs, and you’re close to stately homes, coastlines, wildlife reserves, the wonderful Norfolk Broads and the cathedral city of Norwich.
