• "A well equipped and comfortable cottage in a very quiet and peaceful countryside location."

  The enclosed garden was a bonus for young children and our dog and of course the hot tub was enjoyed by all.

  Well equipped, super amazing large kitchen. Hot tub was fantastic. The garden our dogs loved, well secured, lovely big garden with a forestry added exploratory woodland at the back of the garden to keep the dogs busy searching around. Still fully enclosed. Log burner was stunning cosy and so relaxing. Downstairs bathroom wow

• "A beautiful cottage, very well equipped."

  Beds super comfy. Wood burner is fabulous. The hot tub is lovely, however in the winter months you need lights that are bright and clear, a little dangerous in the gloom of winter. Sadly due to the awful weather we could not use the garden or the many walks in the surrounding area. I would warn tall people to take care with the low ceiling upstairs. We had a wonderful time sitting in front of the fire warm and cosy. If not for the rain the dogs would have loved the garden.

• "Absolutely beautiful accommodation and location."

  I can't fault a thing!! Powerful showers, comfortable beds, snuggly bedding, luxury fittings and fixtures, friendly and polite host. 100% recommended to others. The Plough Share, pub was divine with great food and servers. Nearest Chinese does deliver, however, this is a 40minute drive away. So it's worth heating up some plates and warming the oven for arrival. Yummy food though. So I'm not complaining at all! Over all. Top notch, thankyou.

• "The cottage was extremely well appointed and comfortable."

  Felt like home from the moment we stepped through the door. The location was perfect for allowing us to unworld ourselves for a few days. Only criticism was the lack of lighting around the hot tub for the evening, especially as the lights in the tub were also not working. That said, we've already said we'd go back

• "This is the second time we have stayed at the property."

  Some very minor comments we made last year have been acted upon. We have two dogs and they loved running around in the huge enclosed garden.

  We are glad you enjoyed your holiday and hope to welcome you back in the future. Thank you Property Owner

• "We really enjoyed our stay at Keepers Cottage."

  The kitchen was really well appointed with some great quality cooking implements and equipment. Our party included a baby just 11 months old and great grandma at 89 years old and two dogs. A minor problem was that we found the wooden doors somewhat noisy to open and close quietly. We would have liked some sort of rail to hang clothes on in all bedrooms rather than the back of the doors. A mirror in the upstairs garden bedroom would have been great. We agreed to pay a weekly fee of £50 for electric vehicle recharging out of courtesy although there was no mention of this in the listing prior to booking. In our opinion this needs to be addressed prior to arrival at the cottage. There wasn't much free refuse and recycling bin space and it would have been nice to know that we had to supply our own bin liners. All in all a great location and a great property which made for a lovely holiday.

  Thank you for your feedback. Your comments have been taken on board. Bin bags were left in the bins and extra are usually available in the kitchen draw. Apologies if these had all been used. With regards to car charging we have asked Sykes to make this clear on our property however I would not expect a property owner to refuel my car regardless of it being electric or not. Your booking cost covers the property and not the travel costs. Property Owner

• "Stayed for a week with my friends and dogs."

  The house was lovely and well laid out. The owners were really helpful and came out to help with a minor issue (none of us could fit the baby gate!), with no concerns about coming straight away, the garden was secure and plenty big enough for the dogs. The local community pub was welcoming and accommodating, had a great night with the manager and locals. Wish we had used the hot tub more, but waited till the last night! I would recommend this as a good and comfortable home from home and would stay again.

• "We loved the hot tub."

  That was fantastic. We loved the TV screens all over the cottage. We loved the area. Amazing. The main thing against the cottage was the bedrooms. There were no proper wardrobes to hang up our clothes. The main bedroom was so low and kept us banging our heads getting out of beds. The beds were not very comfortable either. Sorry but the cottage is NOT worth as a 5 star.

  We are sorry our 4 star property did not live up to your expectations. As with a lot of cottages it does have low ceilings upstairs and these are shown in the property pictures. The main bedroom does have a built-in wardrobe, possibly you didn't notice it. We have not received any complaints about the beds before but understand not all beds suit everyone. Property Owner

• "We had fabulous holiday at Keepers cottage."

  Loved the fact that it was so quiet and secluded, our two dogs really enjoyed the spacious garden too. The cottage was well equipped, clean and very homely. We stayed during the July heatwave so loved the fridge with its ice making facility. The hot tub is a great extra to the cottage. We would definitely come back here.

• "Minor niggles: Could benefit from an umbrella over the patio table."

  We requested a stairgate for the bottom of the stairs (to stop the dogs going upstairs) but the design was not suitable for that location as to fit the gate correctly puts too much sideways pressure on the newel post and could cause damage. We used a bungee cord to hold the gate in position. Suggest investigating an alternate design. Positives: Liked the beds, excellent hot tub and a super large enclosed garden for our two Dachshund's to run around in.

• "The property and surroundings were great."

  The only drawback was the ceiling height as heads were knocked on several occasions, and the garden although advertised as secure for dogs we found this was not the case as the fence surrounding the pond was only about a metre so that meant we had to keep the dogs tied up as being Huskies they are unfortunately escape artists. I understand that for smaller breeds it wouldn't be a problem. It was such a shame as they would have loved to have been free to explore the garden. A wire fence would be sufficient then the pond would still be visible. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

• "Excellent, clean and fantastic facilities in this cottage in rural surroundings."

  Beautiful and secure gardens so our dogs had great fun exploring and chasing after each other. Stress free holiday and would definitely recommend this cottage. Beach is around 30min drive away but that didn’t cause any problems. There is a lovely community owned real ale pub a mile from the cottage which was really friendly and allowed dogs in. Loved every minute.

• "We have no complaints about the Cottage apart from the description of where the downstairs Bathroom was situated compared to where the downstairs Bedroom was."

  Whilst to the able bodied the distance would not be an issue, to a 95 year old on a Zimmer Frame this was a much longer distance than was comfortable. The only real complaint we had was the absolutely appalling state of the driveway to the property. Whilst this is the responsibility of the Owners to address we were extremely surprised that Sykes would approve the property and find it hard to believe that you have not had both Complaints and Claims from previous Holidaymakers. The potholes were unbelievable and the state of the drive is the reason that we would never book to stay in that property again.

  Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that the cottage was not as you had expected. The upkeep of the driveway is something we try to keep on top of. Since your visit the potholes have been refilled however being a farm track it will never be a smooth road. We do I best to keep it maintained. Property Owner

  Would benefit from more lighting round the hot tub and also the bedrooms to have mirrors so you can see what you are doing when drying hair etc. Also would be handy to have some guides on different walks in the area. Apart from that brilliant stay.

• "Beautiful tranquil property that really did exceed expectations!"

  Our two dogs loved exploring and roaming around the large garden, the house was cosy, clean and so well presented, the pictures don’t do it justice! The only downside to this property is that the masters bed was quite small. I’m only 5’3” and my feet were touching the base of the bed and my partner had the curl up to sleep. The pillows were uncomfortable -which is the usual case as you have your own preference- but it would have been nice to have some spare different pillows as all the pillows on the property were the same thickness and hardness. On the same note, spare bedding could’ve done with being available as the duvet was very thick and too warm so having a thinner duvet or sheets as an option would’ve been appreciated. If you have young children I was also suggest bringing your own high chair as the one provided is pretty reclined with no option to sit it up. Overall though this property was amazing and I’d easily say it’s the best I’ve been too and I’ve been to quite a few now. It’s the perfect mixture of being in the countryside and feeling like you’re in the middle of nowhere but still close to local amenities and towns for days out. You could also happily relax at the property and just explore the local walking area. I’d definitely book it again!

• "Lovely cottage, enjoyed the week's stay."

  Owner, Tom and his family, very friendly, helped out when needed on some minor stuff. Hot tub is a real plus, so is the huge garden for the dog to run around in. Very tranquil location, handy to use as a base to visit the Norfolk coast and countryside. Near to Dereham, not far from Norwich. Loads of local gastro pubs within 10 miles. Only thing to be aware of is the track to the property. It is what it says, a 1/2 mile and it's gravel all the way.
