A comfortable well equipped holiday cottage within easy striking distance of the coast and a number of tourist attractions situated in this part of Norfolk.. Would highly recommend.
Brian
The cottage was roomy ,clean and well stocked . It is situated in a quiet rural setting that backed onto a nature reserve
P
We enjoyed the cottage very much, it was nice to have 2 seating areas so the youngsters could have their own space. The beds were very comfortable, the cottage very clean and well equipped.
Rhona
The cottage itself was delightful and the garden beautiful but nice garden chairs would have made sitting outside so much nicer.
Karen
Beautiful location and a stunning, comfortable place to stay. Eight of us stayed here and there was plenty of room for us all, including someone 80 years old, who benefited from the downstairs bedroom with wet room. The Vernon arms was a welcome pub to sit in as we arrived earlier than check in. A meal at the suffield arms was good - easily walkable - but pricey. Lovely outdoor space and the kitchen/dining space was especially well equipped. I recommend the cottage.
Rosie
We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage. Beautifully decorated and such a sociable space. We will be back!
Jane
Lovely house with ample space, both indoors and out. Great to be near the Suffield Arms and the Vernon Arms
Roger
We really enjoyed the cottage. Family group with an age range from 7 to 86 years.

It was a fantastic holiday for all the family and although not all the ratings were 'very good' the accommodation was perfect for our needs and hope to return.
