“A peaceful location, wonderful place to recharge the batteries.”

Mr Broomhead September 2020

“Everything about the cottage is outstanding.”

Lin is superb, nothing too much trouble. I had a problem with my car and within 10 minutes Lin took me down to the local garage who attended to the problem immediately. That's what I call brilliant.

“Outside a sea of mud and inside sticky and dirty!”

The cottage is situated on a stud farm in a quiet village which we thought would be idyllic - unfortunately not - as building work taking place 30 feet away, with the resulting noise, mud and machinery, means that you are constantly taking mud into your car and the cottage kitchen! There are no fences around the building site and no lights outside the cottage, so very dangerous at night! Our family visited one evening and not being able to see to drive away, ended up in a drainage ditch! The owner had kindly left a good welcome pack, unfortunately it had been placed in a dirty fridge so I had to take the food out to clean the fridge before placing our food inside! Kitchen cupboards and oven very sticky and dirty, with lots of half used jars and cereals inside - don't know how long they had been there! Bathroom very dusty and dirty and grey hairs in the bin, again used toiletries, sponges and bath puffs, completely unhygienic! On the good side the living room beautifully dressed for Christmas! Tried to address issues with the owner but very defensive and left before I could bring all issues up. Had we not travelled from Scotland for a family party we would have left the first day, however we did leave after the car accident as the owner was shouting at my husband that she would not accept liability because it was her builder's fault there was no fencing. Subsequently owner and her husband stopped shouting but still denied all responsibility! Currently ongoing with agency complaints department!

Mr Duffy October 2019

“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 Duffy, October 2019
Mr Ricketts June 2019

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

- Mr Ricketts, June 2019
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.

- Mr Matthews, June 2019
Ms Sheard May 2019

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.

- Mrs Bennett, April 2019
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 Ogilvie, April 2019
Mr Francis March 2019

Property was very warm and very comfortable. Thoroughly recommend this property to anyone.

- Mr Francis, March 2019
Ms 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.

- Ms Knights, March 2019
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.

- Mr Boulter, February 2019
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.

- Mrs Allen, January 2019
Mrs 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".

- Mrs Lawrinson, October 2018
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!!

- Mr Mann, September 2018
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 Down, September 2018
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.

- Mr Deane, September 2018

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.

- rodg82, August 2017
Mr Heffer July 2017

Would definitely like to stay at the cottage again, it was so cosy and comfortable and very well equipped.

- Mrs Smith, November 2016
Mrs Hill September 2016

“This is an extremely comfortable holiday cottage.”

It is spacious and very well equipped and in an incredibly quiet area - no road noise at all, just silence when you wake. It's within easy reach of several National Trust properties and woodland gardens, and also the Broads and coast. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking essentials and much, much more - nothing like some properties we've stayed in where there is not even salt! There was a very generous welcome pack. The only point to mention is that there is not really a garden as such, just a table and chairs outside the door, perhaps 'shared field' is more accurate. However this would be no problem to adults, just maybe if you have small children. All in all, an excellent experience.

- Mrs Hill, September 2016

“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.

- Tmmmg, August 2016
Mrs Kirk August 2016

“Brilliantly situated for touring the Norfolk Coast which is really lovely and general sightseeing.”

Cottage is really comfortable and beautifully furnished. Would recommend The Chequers Pub in the village of Hainford which is very popular and it is a good idea to book if you want to eat - it is very popular. Used the Park and Ride which runs from the Airport to get into Norwich for sightseeing/shopping - it is really good value, free to park at the airport and the buses run every ten minutes . Would definitely book this cottage again.

- Mrs Kirk, August 2016
Mr Pounds June 2016

“This must be the quietest place that my wife and I have stayed at, a perfect antidote to the normal hassle and bustle of normal life in our usual daily environment.”

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.

- Biasbowl, March 2016

Yasmin A February 2013

“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.

“Avoid At All Costs”

We booked this property with the sole intention of having a relaxed quiet holiday what we got on first sight was a building site and an infestation of ants, workmen working all day long leering in to our bedroom. There was scaffolding around the property ,old kitchen appliances in the garden, the shared garden is a mown bit of field, no drain pipe when it rained so it ran all night.. Nothing at all was the owners fault for the mess, it was other peoples fault. If you want to spend a week on a building site with the most unapproachable person you will ever meet then this is the place for you, otherwise avoid it like the plague, did i mention the rats running around all day. Also No shower for a week which simply didn't interest her even though we needed one for my partner who struggles getting in a bath . It advertised as 3 minutes from a pub, its 1 mile away it also states 2 miles from the local shop, its four miles to the next village.

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.
