“Lovely cottage,the heating system was fantastic.”

After a hectic day out it was lovely to come back and turn the heating on and within 5mins the cottage was toasty. There was everything that we needed for a great stay the host had even supplied bacon,eggs, sausage, bread and milk and to top it off two bottles of wine. Definitely recommend if you want somewhere lovely and quiet in a great location for exploring North Norfolk.
Mr Ricketts June 2019

“The owner, Lin, who lives on site is very welcoming and very helpful.”

Found the location of the cottage ideal for the coast, the broads and Norwich - would happily use the cottage if in the area again
Mr Matthews June 2019

“Second time we've stayed at this lovely cottage and, once again, we weren't disappointed.”

The owner does everything to make your stay as comfortable as it possibly could be and we were really made to feel at home in this cosy, clean, well equipped cottage. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the Norwich area.
Ms Sheard May 2019

“Very comfortable, cosy cottage.”

Immaculatately clean, very well equipped.
Mrs Ogilvie April 2019

“Lovely accommodation, clean and comfortable.”

Plenty of cooking utensils etc provided. Appreciated the welcome pack. Situated in a beautiful quiet setting. Some building work taking place but didn't interfere with our stay. Good location for visiting the coast and broads. We would definitely return and recommend.
Mrs Bennett April 2019

“2 Stud Cottage is a spacious and very comfortable holiday home, in fact one of the most comfortable we have stayed in.”

It is well equipped with everything of an excellent quality. We appreciated the fresh flowers in the kitchen and lounge and the milk in the fridge. We would certainly recommend the cottage and hope to stay there again when we are visiting our family in Norwich.
Mr Francis March 2019

“Hostess was very welcoming and friendly.”

Property was very warm and very comfortable. Thoroughly recommend this property to anyone.
Miss Knights March 2019

“Very comfortable cottage, has everything you could possibly need.”

Surrounded by fields and countryside. It is also nice to wander around the livery and meet the horses. Very close to Norwich and the coast for days out. Extremely generous breakfast pack included.
Mr Boulter February 2019

“Before arrival I was telephoned, received a short introduction and was offered more information if I tendered my email address to facilitate the sending of cottage and locality information which was most kind and helpful.”

On arrival after a long journey, and with only being able to give a vague indication of arrival time we were greeted personally and shown around.....Not the usual "Find a key in a box and here is the security code"! We were shown around the cottage, its facilities and equipment, some basic foodstuffs [milk, butter, sausages, bacon, cereals, bread, jams] which were supplied to us lest we arrive outside of shop opening times, and two bottles of wine! Again we were told the location of local restaurants, pubs, and shops. This personal touch is so rare nowadays and most welcome. The cottage was immaculate, clean and everything worked....more rare than one would imagine! On departure day we again received the owner's cheery smile without any pressure as to time of departure. I was just turning the dishwasher on and hoovering but I was told that was not necessary! I offer holiday accommodation myself so I know the importance of per arrival information and meeting and greeting so I was cheered that some others shared my own attention to detail! I would have no hesitation in returning for another visit, and in recommending this cottage to friends.
Mrs Allen January 2019

“Definitely recommend 2 Stud Cottage, warm and cosy but not small as photos appear to suggest, immaculate throughout, very comfortable bed, pillows, sofas etc.”

Tastefully furnished and decorated with attention to detail. Kitchen equipment good. Full control of central heating system. Sky TV in lounge and bedroom a plus. Wonderful rainfall shower with power handheld attachment as well as a bath. Easy off road parking in countryside surroundings. Very generous ‘welcome pack’. Thank you Lin. Would recommend Farm to Fork butchers/deli opposite The Recruiting Sergeant.
Mr Lawrinson October 2018

“A few details no longer apply as there have been changes of the property e.”

G. the bathroom and no dressing room. However the accommodation is bright spacious and well equipped for a family stay. We appreciated the breakfast pack- it lasted 3 days! And although no wine, we had juice instead which suited as visited the last week of "Stoptober".
Mr Deane September 2018

“We stopped for a couple of nights in this comfortable and clean cottage around 20 mins drive from Norwich.”

Although ours was only a weekend stay and we didn’t spend much time there or do any cooking, it’s really well-equipped and I’m sure would be a good base for a longer stay. Lin the owner was very helpful and accommodated our late arrival by leaving the keys in a safe place.
Mrs Down September 2018

“The cottage was warm, cosy and comfortable, very welcoming.”

The facilities in the cottage were excellent with a well equipped kitchen and bathroom. It was spotlessly clean. The owner was very helpful and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble and she communicated with us throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend it and stay again ourselves. In fact we enjoyed it so much we stayed and extra night.
Mrs Harris September 2018

“The cottage was really lovely and had all you would need and more.”

The makings for a full English breakfast was provided along with two delicious bottles of wine. The decor was lovely and the cottage was prestinely clean. It definitely exceeded expectations
Mr Mann September 2018

“The owner (Lin) was extremely friendly and the cottage spotless.”

...... we have stayed in many sykes cottages over the years but cannot remember one being as well equipped......... from different types of cut glass wine glasses (for the complimentary 2 bottles) to intimidate lighting...........We will be going back!!
Miss May August 2018

“Fabulous hosts!”

Everything you could possibly need! Clean, comfortable and super breakfast pack included! Brilliantly located so not too many "are we there yets"! Many thanks for such a lovely week!
Mr Hughes August 2018

“Nice accommodation in a really good location for Norwich, the Broads and the North Norfolk coast.”

Good facilities and a very nice welcome pack. Very handy for the Park and Ride into Norwich.
Mr Colley June 2018

“Beautiful property with everything provided that you can think of.”

Arrived to find eggs, bacon, sausages, bread, butter, milk and even two bottles of wine as a welcoming pack. Lovely thought after a long journey. Sky TV in Lounge and both bedrooms. All in all A home from home.
Mrs Blackman April 2018

“The cottage was lovely and the location was very calm and peaceful.”

They had a mare who was expecting to give birth in a weeks time so it was an interesting experience to see her, she was lovely. We had nice welcome from lin and there was lots of information on the area which we had not visited before. We had amazingly warm, sunny weather, very enjoyable.
rodg82 August 2017

“Would highly recommend”

I will return again to this lovely cottage. A beautifully relaxing setting and a comfortable and a well appointed accommodation. The owner is friendly and helpful and even though we arrived late after a long journey we were delighted not to have go out again that night as she had stocked us up with breakfast items for a cooked breakfast and a couple of bottles of wine- what a great start to our stay! The cottage was very clean, and the beds were comfortable. We occasionally heard the resident horses in the morning, something we quite enjoyed as part of the country experience, and although the cottage is part of a working farm we didn't feel that this impacted on our stay.
criticman100 May 2017

“Mrs Green”

We had a lovely week at this property. Lin the owner was lovely and very welcoming and the provisions she had provided us were fantastic. The cottage was spotless and smelled very clean and inviting. Fresh flowers were also in the living room. We didn't want to leave and will definitely be going back. Near to local pub restaurant and easy to get to local village shops which were 10 minutes drive away. It is also a short drive to the park and ride to Norwich and convenient for the airport. Set in lovely surroundings . I would recommend this to couples or families.
Biasbowl March 2016

“Cosy, warm and very quiet.”

This was our first visit to Stud Cottage, and hopefully it will not be the last. It is a large, very well equipped, beautifully furnished cottage on a quiet stud farm well away from the hustle and bustle. The were certain appliances in the kitchen which needed a good clean, but considering the group who had stayed in the cottage recently, this was maybe understandable, and the owner is fully aware of this. Looking forward to the next visit.
Vickie3847 January 2015

“Totally amazing relaxing break”

Great cottage and lovely amenities. Absolutely amazing little touches from the owner and the welcome pack was much appreciated. Loved waking up to hearing the horses in their stables. The second bathroom could do with a more powerful shower. I can't wait to return.
Tony R January 2015

“Excellent fully equipped cottage with caring owner”

Our second stay at cottage and we are p[eased tp report that standards have been maintained so as to make for an excellent break and stay.

“Fantastic”

The best holiday accommodation I have ever stayed in. Yes there was 1 builder on site called Ray ( his the resident handy man along with his lovely wife Viv, who is the cleaner ) They were helpful, friendly & did not leer through windows, as another review stated! Yes the Gardens are huge open fields...but there is a pond, a bar be que, a high quality patio table with 6 large ergo friendly chairs & horses in the fields. We loved it! The shower in the bathroom has a radio, foot massager & even doubles up as a steam room. The whole cottage was extremely clean. The provisions were above & beyond...Ice cream in the freezer, jams, butter, milk, orange juice, bacon, eggs...Child friendly & excellent value for money. Also during our stay a foal was born which enchanted my children.

“A paradise on earth”

This cottage is excellent and the facilities second to none. We really enjoyed our break and will be back!
A FlipKey verified reviewer November 2012

“One of the best places we've stayed”

We took 3 children (2,5 and 7) who loved the property! The grounds gave lots of play areas and loved relaxing outside using the gazebo and large outdoor dining table. Property was well beyond expected and there were lots of additional touches that made it a very homely stay. We were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble - we will be back one day!

About the location

HAINFORD

Norwich 7 miles; Coltishall 4 miles; Wroxham 7 miles.

The village of Hainford is at the very heart of North Norfolk and is central to some of the most spectacular scenery that Norfolk can offer. It is within easy reach of Norwich International Airport, which is only 3 miles from the village and within 7 miles of the historic Roman city of Norwich, which has first class shopping facilities. There is a lovely thatched pub and restaurant in Hainford which is open for lunches and evening meals, whilst just 3 miles away is the pretty Broadland village of Coltishall which is known locally as the ‘Gateway to the Broads’ and has a well known pub/restaurant. 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. Near to Hainford 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. 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.
