Mark

The cottage was beautifully decorated in every room. We loved the lounge it was a lovely sociable area. It was a great base for discovering the local area.

Matt

Lovely house and well appointed. Road noise was a surprise and disappointment. Shame because everything else was fine.

Robert

Perfect in all ways for our group holiday.

Katie

Truly wonderful accommodation for a group of friends to get together and spend some quality time in a wonderful location. The property was big enough to not be under each others feet but also cosy enough to snuggle up on the sofas in the evening to watch a movie all together. We had a Coronation afternoon tea in the wonderful dining room, had Sunday lunch at the local pub across the way and sat outside in the sunshine in the garden. Memories were made to last a lifetime. Thank you

Kathleen

The cottage is very comfortable and well appointed. It is set a few metres from a busy road and there is a lot of traffic noise especially in summer with windows open. Didnâ??t bother us as we sleep well but we were aware of it. The local pub is great.

Tracey

Beautiful cottage in a great location. Very comfortable and had everything you would need for a short or long stay. Old property so very noisy when anybody is walking around upstairs. Garden very secure for your pets or children. Would highly recommend this property.

Geraldine

Cottage was comfy, well equipped and bedrooms sumptuous. Cobwebs hanging from ceiling in green room. Filter in dishwasher full of muck, so we cleaned it. The hoover looked fine but poor suction. It was thickly clogged with hair,dirt and dust and we had to pick wads of it out. We washed the filter and container so clean now. I don't know how often the owners visit, but garden and hoover were poor. I would recommend with the proviso people understand the road noise, assuming the cleanliness and garden issues sorted. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your experience and appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our service.

Clara

We cannot recommend this cottage highly enough! Beautifully presented, well equipped and finished to an exceptional standard, it has everything you need for a perfect stay. The house is spacious, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, providing plenty of room for our group of 6 and 2 dogs. The secure, enclosed garden was ideal for our dogs, and just across the road, The Crowne Inn offered delicious food in a welcoming setting. The location is fantastic, with easy access to Holkham beach and a lovely field next to the Village Hall where we could let our dogs run off-lead. Being next to the road meant some occasional traffic noise, but this did not take away from the overall enjoyment of our stay. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, making it feel like a true home away from home. We had a wonderful Christmas stay and would not hesitate to book again!

Rosemary

Lovely property beautifully presented. No complaints except the noise of large lorries on the road !

Tina

Lovely property equipped with everything you could possibly need. Very comfortable and lovely enclosed garden for our furry friends. Would definitely come back!

Laurence

We stay in about 3 or 4 cottages a year and this was categorically the best we've stayed in. The house is beautiful, tasteful and nearly every little detail had been considered and catered for. Although we are local, without a shadow of a doubt, I will look to book again next Christmas for our annual meet up. Thanking all involved with the management of this property for ensuring such a delightful and comfortable stay.

James

We found Renovated Cottage for 8 in East Rudham to be well equipped, very comfortable, beautifully furnished and an excellent location to access all the best areas of North Norfolk.

Stephen

Fantastic house, very high standard. Very comfortable for the whole family.

Jim

Absolutely no complaints about the property, it was exceptionally clean, comfortable and equipped. In a great place to visit beaches, stately homes and other towns and places of interest. Only downside was the traffic noise, which became a problem at times.

Pauline

Perfect house and location. 5* is not enough for this beautiful house. The garden was secure for a nosy chihuahua, who can find any gap. The Village pub was very welcoming, very dog friendly. Lots to do in the area, for any age. Plenty of places to eat, or shops to buy and cook. Wonderful deli across the main road. Would recommend to anyone. We were a family of 6 with loads of room.

Carrie

Beautiful cottage, has everything you need, comfortable beds. Perfect size for 6 adults and 1 child. Would definitely recommend

Michael

A great house for our family get-together. Plenty of space on the ground floor with large bedrooms above and bathrooms for all!! Excellent location for exploring the wonderful beaches on the north coast or a walk around the Sandringham estate. The local pub is a 2 minute walk and serves great food.

Jackie

A wonderful property, well equipped and tastefully decorated. Lots of room for our party of 6 adults and 1 child and plenty of space to park 3 cars on the drive. The welcome gift of Easter chocolates was much appreciated. Lovely pub just 2 minutes walk away serving great food and lots of places to visit in the local area without having to travel too far. Would definitely recommend staying here

Jill

A beautiful cottage so many things impressed us. The cottage was cosy and so comfortable - we were a party of 6 with two dogs. Everything was there that we needed - whoever owns this property has thought of every little detail and and its all to such a high standard! Honestly this is the type of property that I would love as my home and we wouldn't change a thing - (Apart from the weather!) we went in Feb lol - This was hands down the best cottage we have ever stayed at and we have stayed in a few :) - Book it trust me you will love it :)
