“We feel an additional handrail on the other side wall to the steep stairs would be helpful.”

- Mrs Maile, July 2021
Mrs Dean June 2021

“The cottage was very well equipped and spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable.”

We did find the double bed a little too firm for us, but that's down to personal choice and not a fault of the accommodation.

- Mrs Dean, June 2021
Mrs Pellatt August 2020

“The cottage is comfortable and well equipped and perfectly placed for visiting local attractions.”

Shops, pubs , restaurants and the very interesting Swaffam museum are a five minute walk from the cottage

We absolutely lived the cottage,spotlessly Clean,Fully equipped with everything we needed, Even fully decorated for Christmas, Fantastic location 2/3 minutes to walk into the town centre, And very central for visiting Norfolk villages One negative was the double bed mattress Not very comfortable, but this was the only thing we could possibly not like, We had a wonderful stay,

Cottage was lovely; very cosy and had everything you could need; warm and welcoming owner and reassuring to have them close-by but not intrusive Glorious Norfolk had much to offer and weather was good even for mid Ocotber Would love to stay here again

- Ms Timmins, October 2019
Mrs Mitchell August 2019

“We hadn't intended to book such a large property for 2 adults and an elderly dog but, when it became available, we decided to go for it!”

We were not disappointed and didn't 'rattle' around in the property. The layout allows you to 'shut off' unrequired rooms (for us one twin-bedded room) and dining room if so desired, but we made use of the facilities, didn't need for anything from kitchen utilities to room fans [the weather was hot!] and just enjoyed the extra space! The shared lawn and designated parking space in an open garage were a luxury! We often sat outside to enjoy a coffee in the morning sun! We were pleased to see the recycling arrangements were clear and comprehensive. The cottage is ideally located for walking into Swaffham for groceries and local amenities. Larger supermarkets are a short drive away and Swaffham makes a good base for driving to the coast and other attractions. We will definitely be back.

- Mrs Mitchell, August 2019
Mrs Hallett July 2019

“Lovely cottage will definitely stay here again (as have family in the next village) Very comfortable beds, great bathroom upstairs and handy loo downstairs too Kitchen well equipped with everything you need Covered parking area very handy Nice that towels, bedding, tea towels, tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits provided for our arrival.”

Really enjoyed our break, nice village to stay in with plenty places to eat out and a great base for exploring Norfolk. My only complaint would be that the glasses and cups in the cupboard were dirty so had to wash them before we used them but otherwise would highly recommend manor farm cottage

- Mrs Hallett, July 2019
Mrs Hynes July 2019

“The hospitality of rosemary with the help she gave me with my dog.”

- Mrs Hynes, July 2019
Miss Billinge May 2019

“This cottage is beautifully decorated with everything we could need for a relaxed stay.”

It's particularly well equipped for families with young children with toys and games and even plastic crockery. We would definitely recommend it.

- Miss Billinge, May 2019
Mrs Marsden April 2019

“The whole package was more than we expected.”

Property was beautiful, the essentials where provided for arrival and the use of domestic items. The owners where very approachable, helpful, professional people who ensured your stay was accommodated for. The directions where true to the property. I would definitely recommend, they appear to have a row of let's depending on party size. First time booking. Was not let down. There is also a Lovely cottage style cafe and Old Mother Hubbard's fish & chip shop in the market Square for time out. No complaints, Thank you.

- Mrs Marsden, April 2019
Mr Cope November 2018

“Cottage was bigger than expected, clean, comfortable and well equipped.”

Everything was to a high standard Enjoyed being in the centre of Swaffham and great to have parking

- Mr Cope, November 2018
Mr Stevenson September 2018

“We had no hot running water after the second day due to a fault on the combination boiler but in fairness Mr.”

Ison came round to try and remedy the situation but was unable to do so! We found the double bed very uncomfortable and requires a new mattress also we found the lighting on the upper floor absolutely dismal, brighter bulbs required all round in bathroom and bedrooms! This is a very nice cottage but let down by easily addressed minor faults(PLUS NO HOT WATER) Stan and Pat Stevenson.

- Mr Stevenson, September 2018

I am sorry to hear you experienced boiler and maintenance issues during your stay at the cottage. We want you to have all advertised facilities on our website and we strive on having exceptional property standards in all Sykes’ properties. We will investigate the issues with the property owner to establish why our service has fell short on this occasion. This is not our usual expectation and would like to assure you that your issues are being handled. If you would to discuss this further, our lines are open 7 days a week from 9am until 7pm.

Dr Bromley September 2018

“First class cottage in excellent location.”

Plenty of room and well equiped cottage. Easy to find in a convenient location for the town, and quiet in doors despite being on a main road. Communal garden in a row of 3 cottages, parking shared with permanent resident in end cottage who was rather unfriendly but not the fault of owner! We had a great 3 night stay while walking the Peddars way. Highly recommended

- Dr Bromley, September 2018
Mr Conway September 2018

“Brilliant cottage - had everything a family with 2 young girls and a dog could need!”

Friendly owners and the cottage provided a good and comfortable base for exploring the North Norfolk coast and also within walking distance to Swaffham which has an array of shops, pubs, restaurants and supermarkets.

- Mr Conway, September 2018

Ms Pedersen May 2018

Well restored and with all amenities. Lovely owner, who came to check that we had everything we needed and very friendly neighbours. Easy access to all areas of North Norfolk. We fully enjoyed our weekend away.

- Ms Pedersen, May 2018
Mrs Simpson April 2018

“Beautiful cottage, extremely well furnished with very comfortable beds, plenty of good quality towels & linen.”

The kitchen was fully stocked with super china, glassware etc. The comfortable sitting & separate dining room were spacious & accomodated 6 easily. The cottage was immaculately clean & we were treated to a welcome pack (tea, sugar etc) . Easy parking & close the centre of town it was perfect.

- Mrs Simpson, April 2018
Mrs Reid March 2018

“We visited the cottage in extremely cold weather but the accommodation was warm, comfortable and well equipped.”

Situated opposite a wonderful old church, we had the marvellous spectacle of a murmuration of Starlings settling down into the churchyard at dusk each evening.

- Mrs Reid, March 2018

Dr Gorst January 2017

“Cosy , comfortable cottage centrally located for easy access to north norfolk coast and cities of Norwich and Kings Lynn .”

Close to lovely walks in the peaceful countryside and forests around Thetford. I would highly recommend .

- Dr Gorst, January 2017
Mrs Shaw November 2016

“This was a very cosy ,warm and well equipped cottage.”

It felt like home from home. Positioned on the edge of Swaffham all facilities within a very short walk.

- Mrs Shaw, November 2016
Mr Butterworth October 2016

“This is an exceptionally well-appointed cottage, which suited us ideally as a base for walking the Peddar's Way.”

We were a party of four adults and two very small children (reducing in our numbers over the week), and this was a very enjoyable place for all concerned. It isn't in the countryside, but good for walking to local facilities. Parking was very good, even including a very large open garage. It was very well equipped and comfortable. The owner was most accommodating and friendly. We intend to return to continue the Peddar's Way, although it won't be quite so well situated by then, as we have already walked past the Swaffham area, but everything else about the cottage makes it an ideal base.

- Mr Butterworth, October 2016
Mr Howden October 2016

“We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage was lovely and bigger than I had thought it would be which was good.”

There are a few pubs in the town which are nice and plenty of options to eat. The kitchen in the cottage is very well equipped also.

- Mr Howden, October 2016
Mr Stewart February 2016

“Lovely cottage.”

Really well appointed and very comfortable. Beds were fantastic. The owners was very welcoming and this along with the quality of the accommodation made this a really great place to stay. Manor Farm Cottage has every facility you could ever ask for really and the garden at the back is spacious so as we had the dog with us this was great. There was also a large common nearby and a few country paths that were also good for walking the dog.

- Mr Stewart, February 2016
Mr Porter February 2016

“Fantastic base for us to explore what Norfolk has to offer.”

We would not hesitate to book this cottage again.

The children already want to return there next year.

- Mr Van Beek, October 2014
Mrs Short May 2014

The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home. The town centre is within walking distance of the cottage and it's in an ideal position to drive to Cromer, Hunstanton etc. We are going back again in September which will be our fourth visit in just over a year - I think that says it all.
