“The cottage was absolutely lovely!”

Everything you needed. So quiet, wake up to the sound of horses was lovely. In the country so have to drive but not too far to go crabbing in wells. About 45 minute drive. The owners so welcoming. Would definitely recommend for a family.

“We had a great time at Stable Cottage.”

There is a great space downstairs with a large well equipped kitchen, lovely lounge and large main bedroom Our children enjoyed regular trips to the horses and chickens in the safe and secure garden. The things we did struggle with was the low headroom when climbing the stairs and the creakiness of the upstairs floors. We still had a wonderful time and it was easy to visit High Lodge Thetford on the way and Wells Next The Sea on day two.

“We had a wonderful time.”

It was a lovely and peaceful place. Children enjoyed the outside space and the chickens and horses. We would definitely return.

“This cottage is advertised as accommodating 6-7 people - it does not!”

Sleeping arrangements are poor - there is one adequate double bedroom and one room with twin beds that are actually beds but the third bedroom is very poor indeed with 'beds' on the floor under the eves of the roof. The stair case to the mezzanine floor very steep and frankly quite frightening to use. The kitchen is overall well equipped but the toaster could be upgraded from 2 slice to at least a 4 slice toaster to accommodate 6-7 visitors. The lighting in the living room was either too bright (there are just too many ceiling lights) or not bright enough if the table lamp is used - another lamp in the living room would make some difference - but there are limited sockets in this room that may be the cause of this problem. The furniture is dated and the (leather look) plastic sofa's are damaged and could be upgraded also.

“Stable cottage was a beautiful well equipped barn conversion.”

We had a great time meeting up with our Norfolk based family there.

“Fantastic!”

What a fabulous place! A fantastic place to get away from it all and wonderful for families. The kids loved collecting eggs and meeting the horses. The owners could not have been more helpful.The cottage is beautiful and furnished to a high standard. The photos really don't do it justice. Dogs are welcome, which is an added bonus. 100% recommend and will definitely go again.

“Country Charmer!”

This cottage is a converted stable but has a lot of mod-cons while keeping that old country cottage feel. It was hard to find as it really is in the middle of nowhere(used sat nav but still had trouble) We had 3 generations staying (ages 8-70) The kitchen/living room is very open and quite large. The eaves bedroom is perfect for young kids. The stairs are a little steep. The cottage is surrounded by farmland and fields with horses and chickens. There were fresh eggs and produce available for purchase everyday (reasonably priced too). When we arrived, the owners had provided milk, tea and cookies, which was a nice touch. There was also leaflets and maps for days out. The cottage is about 40 mins from a lot of Norfolk attractions. Things I didn't like - there was no phone (travelling from abroad, we didn't have cell phones) or WiFi. It was also very hot so a fan would have been nice. And there were not many plugs near a mirror. My family were impressed with the cottage and have already recommended it to others.

“A great,well placed and peaceful location”

The location was great for accessing all parts of Norfolk. The property was immaculate, the owners lovely and the facilities good.A tumble drier would have made it totally complete. The only comment would be that the third bedroom is really only suitable for very young small children.

“An idyllic country get-a-way only 2 hours from home...”

We were very much impressed by the warm welcome received, and the freshly laid eggs left in the traditional country cottage kitchen were a nice touch! The beautifully landscaped gardens, with trampoline and friendly family dog make you feel like it's a home from home. Our 3 year old loved the setting, and often asks to go back! We have promised her that we will as we all enjoyed the beautifully decorated Cottage and our stay so much. If we could swap our life in the city for the perfect country get-a-way, we would pick this beautifully finished cottage...

“Norfolk getaway”

This is one of the most highly refurbished cottages we have stayed in. We regularly travel with our dogs and therefore, have not always had such a lovely property! Its so refreshing look forward to getting home to enjoy the lovely open plan kitchen and eat and drink together! This was a super base to see the local area too with supermarkets a short car drive away to stock up! Based on a small holding, there are horses and chickens to see and its all on the flat therefore lovely for my disabled mother to look around too! You can even buy eggs from the owner to have for breakfast. You wont get fresher!! We would definately consider it for a summer break and would enjoy relaxing at the cottage as well as popping out!

“Great cottage to get away from it all.”

Excellent cottage in good surroundings. Probably the best holiday cottage that I've stayed at in the UK. Equipped and furnished to a very standard. Spacious fully equipped kitchen with range style cooker and large american style fridge freezer. Well placed in central norfolk so easy to get around to all the sites. Only gripe if staying longer would have been the lack of a shower as there is only a (very nice) old fashioned bath and sink.
