  • "This was the fourth time we have stayed at Pear Tree Cottage."

    We are already booked for next September. The accommodation is second to none. It is our second home and we would move there in an heartbeat. Set in beautiful surroundings, the barn has everything you could wish for and more, and the outdoor surroundings are so beautiful and tranquil. Mr and Mrs Pope are excellent hosts and we are very much looking forward to seeing them again for our next stay at Pear Tree. Thank you so very much Mr and Mrs Pope.

    Although the place was nice and very airy we had a problem with heating and hot water as the weather was cold and wet we needed heating but the boiler wasn't working properly I think it is in need of a new one the owners were aware of this and tried to sort it

  • "After reading the previous 2 reviews just before we came I was slightly apprehensive, however was relieved after looking round on arrival."

    The spacious accommodation is in a beautiful location with views over the fields. The kitchen is roomy and well equipped, although we did take our own oven gloves as they aren't supplied - or at least I couldn't find any. The previous reviewer is right - the mattress does need replacing on the 4 poster - you shouldn't be able to feel the springs! The place would benefit from a wall mounted rotary airer at the back which would be an economical friendly option rather than using the dryer in hot weather and an alternative to using the current airer in the general car park. The accommodation feels secure with the security gates and has the added benefit of the games room. We can recommend the beach at East Runton, and for nearby places to eat the Queens Head at Foulsham and The Fat Cow at Fakenham.

  • "Replace damaged flooring in en-suite and take down the ridiculous laminated and sellotaped to the wall signage telling your guests what to do."

    Replace the mattress on the four poster bed, it’s horrendous to sleep on, we had the worst week in terms of sleep we’ve had for a very long time due to the old caved in mattress. Clean the barn, it felt clean on entry but very quickly it became apparent that low and high level cleaning is non-existent. Even light fittings and lamp shades at head height were thick with dust and cobwebs. After sending a text to the owner requesting this to be sorted with pictures of the affected areas they did revisit but still failed to correct it. Fit blinds or curtains in bedroom 2, we came away with a 2 and a 5 year old and the fact we couldn’t get them to sleep as it was too bright and they woke up at 5am everyday due to the brightness pretty much ruined what sleep we did manage to get. No arrival pack, just milk and a few sachets of tea/coffee, no oven gloves. No salt in the shaker just pepper. It is self catering and there is generally all the kitchen equipment you could need apart from the above but zero effort made. Sofas are busted. Sitting down in the evening was super uncomfortable. Way too soft and springs broken so you just fall into them. I sat on a dining room chair all week. Fridge broken with another charming laminated and sellotaped sign, its humming is so loud it is heard over the TV. Broken window vents so you can’t close them, so bugs and spiders absolutely everywhere! I was relieved to come home.

  • "We went there with our tenant who was turning 60, once we arrived we had to clean the place and hover all the floors as it was covered in ants and flying ants also wasps in the twin bedroom, we did contact the owner and he came round with some fly spray, when we told him we couldn't use this with our tenant in the house he said that he would report the ants to a pest control but it wouldn't get sorted until Monday, i replied to him that we were leaving on Monday so this wouldn't help us with which his reply was but it will help the next people coming."

    At no point did he say sorry or offer any other help, he lived next-door and for the whole weekend we were there he didn't come round once to check on us, we were constantly having to wipe the counter tops down before and while preparing food as the ants were so bad, there was dust on all of the picture frames and mirrors everywhere, this holiday let had not been cleaned before we got there and if it had, well then he needs to get another cleaning company. He tried to tell us that all the ants were because living here in Norfolk this happens a few times, i told him that we only came 7 miles away and this doesn't happen. I have no idea what the other lets were like but i would not go back there or tell anyone else to. I do expect to get some kind of refund for my tenant who has a learning disability and i don't feel this is fair for her to have to pay out all this money for a ruined 60th birthday stay.

  • "We booked this super cottage as we were going to the Thursford Spectacular just a few miles away."

    . Lovely well laid out cottage although I would call it a barn as it is massive !! Set in a group of similar cottages which would be ideal for whole family get togethers. Very comfortable and spacious with large rooms and high ceilings , lots of unreachable cobwebs which add to the ambiance of being in the countryside! Very comfortable beds , we all slept really well and lovely white bed linen and towels, would just add that the bath towels were slightly small but weren’t a problem. What a fabulous kitchen, well equipped with everything you need for a holiday , the plus side is that it is open to the lounge/dining area so not cut off from the conversations going on. Need to bring groceries etc as there is no shop in the area to nip to ..car park area is fine and the key pad entry closed gates add to the security of the properties. We are hoping to return next year as we enjoyed it so much .

  • "We have just returned from spending a wonderful week at The Peartree."

    The property is exactly the same in size as the photos show; we have been misled in the past with rooms appearing to be much larger in size in properties than in real life, hence this was important for first impressions. The place was clean, comfortable beds, the main bathroom shower is much better in pressure than the en-suite one, there was enough crockery and cutlery in the drawers and the views were great from the side doors. The play area is a brilliant space for kids, we even took a little picnic to have there! It’s very peaceful, but that depends on who’s occupying the other properties, which are right next door/opposite. Luckily we had quiet neighbours! The actual location is quite remote so you will need a car to go to places. It was ideal for us as we were able to do various trips - beaches, museums, parks - within approximately 20-35 mins from the Peartree. It meant that if the weather was not great, we weren’t far from indoor places. Overall we enjoyed our first stay in Norfolk and definitely found value for money in this rental, would recommend.

  • "Firstly the good and very good aspects of this property."

    The Location is lovely, we were in Peartree cottage (The largest), this backs onto views across the fields. The inside is very spacious , the living / dining / Kitchen areas are some of the largest we have stayed in, Warm environment, comfortable seats all very good. The bedrooms are also pretty Spacious especially the master. Here are the downsides, to be fair most self catering properties suffer many, or all of the things I make comment on here. Documentation on how things work, especially the TV, the requirements regarding waste and recycling etc - missing, or unable to find. No visitor book, it's always good to read what other guests think. Nothing on the area, things to see, useful numbers etc. Like us I am sure most people do their own research, but it is nice to have the local knowledge. The Kitchen is very workable for two people, Which makes a nice change. The standard of the cooking utensils, saucepans, frypans etc were adequate. Crockery and cutlery were very good. My Wife and I like to prepare our own food, we always have, with the cost of eating out I am sure this is the case for a lot of people, Kitchen ‘equipment’ should be given more focus. Example, a microwave is supplied, but no suitable containers to use in the microwave with a lids. No Kitchen roll, no foil to use in the oven, no saucepan cleaning pads, small things, but important. The impression given is they are unwanted house hold items. It’s a shame. Finally the showers. Good points, they are clean and work. The water flow is pitiful. My review sound like me moaning about everything, not true, we were happy there, BUT, and this is true most of the time with all properties the attention to detail comes up short. Self catering implies doing things for yourself, so the appropriate tools need to be supplied.

If i had any suggestions, the cottage could use more kitchen equipment - there were no oven gloves or foil, too few mugs and wooden spoons etc. Would have preferred kitchen roll to be provided and a spare loo roll. But that didn't take away from a lovely week. The table tennis was fun too!

  • "We stayed for 7 nights at Pear Trees."

    The two showers were not fit for purpose. Lack of pressure and flow made showering and hair washing a miserable experience. The chairs in the main bedroom and adjacent hallway were dangerously unstable; all the fixings needed tightening. Toiletries were solely two bars of guest soap. No kitchen hand towel, cloth for wiping surfaces or pan scourer were provided. I phoned the contact number to ask if condiments were provided as there was pepper but no salt in a kitchen cupboard,to be told in no uncertain terms that the only supplies were tea, coffee and milk, enough for a drink on arrival. There was no feeling of either interest or welcome. The stay at Pear Trees was an anonymous experience, mitigated by the facts that the barn was spacious and warm.

    Thank you for taking the time to write feedback, we rely on this to maintain the standard of our properties. The showers are electric, if you are not familiar with this type of shower then there is a chance they were misused as we have not previously heard of any issue with the pressure. Thank you for making us aware of the chairs, they're currently getting repaired. This is a self-catering property so we do not provide everything that an individual might want, however, we have taken onboard your comments and will consider providing more for future guests. We apologise that you did not feel welcome as this was certainly not the case and not how we intend anyone to feel in our properties. Once again, thank you for the feedback. Property Owner

  • "We generally had a great time at Peartree cottage, but in order for you to improve the experience, we will make these comments: When there is clearly good water pressure in the bathrooms taps, why have the showers been plumbed into electric pumps."

    It might sound silly, but when showering the pressure was so low, your body actually felt cold where the water wasn’t hitting it. This is partly due to the fact it was cold but mainly due to the fact that the water pressure in the shower is so weak, it was difficult to get wet under it. We were unable to load BBC IPLAYER on the television. Perhaps instruction would solve this problem but why was this service not just there. As a Tesla driver for over 3 years I have seen the improvement of fast charging at both Kings Lyn and Norwich but these are not convenient to Pear Tree. I did make the 50 mile round trip to Norwich but this takes time and inconvenience. At the last cottages we rented in Wales the owners had installed their own charging point (paid by usage). With Pear Tree being one of a number of properties, one charger would not be enough, however it would be much better than attaching to the 13amp supply that I had to do because the Fakenham chargers at Morrisons were out of action. More and more people will be driving electric cars in the future so please ask the owner to add this facility to attract more custom and make guests life easier.

White House Farm Cottages

These attractive brick and pantile cottages are nestled in a gravelled courtyard of five properties and are situated in a tranquil setting in the village of Wood Norton amidst the Norfolk countryside. Sympathetically converted from former farm buildings, these single-storey cottages are ideally suited for those wishing to explore the glorious North Norfolk coastline and the picturesque, historic nearby market towns of Fakenham and Holt. Each of these cottages offer bright, spacious accommodation, traditionally furnished with modern facilities. Well-equipped and welcoming, they share a large sheltered courtyard and have the benefit of their own private patio where you can relax and unwind. For the younger members of the family, the cottages have a splendid communal play area with swings, slide and a seesaw, as well as a table tennis room. The popular Georgian market town of Holt has excellent amenities with a wide choice of interesting independent shops, pubs, tea rooms and restaurants. Be sure to take a trip on the steam train from here which runs to the traditional seaside town of Sheringham, or take a short drive to the coast, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a haven for birdwatchers and walkers. With miles of sandy beaches and majestic dunes, these cottages are ideally placed for taking boat trips to see the seals or simply visiting the RSPB reserves and coastal paths. Well worth a visit is the historic city of Norwich, with its magnificent cathedral towering above the surrounding medieval streets hosting museums, galleries and excellent shopping facilities.
