About us

Norfolk Cottages began life as Norfolk Country Cottages, round the kitchen table of the Ellis family home in Reepham in Norfolk.  Back then, in the early 1990's, Richard and Lesley Ellis felt there was a need for a company that could offer beautiful holiday homes, together with local knowledge and excellent customer service.  Starting with only a handful of properties, but a clear vision, the company soon outgrew the family home.  A move to Carlton House, in the market place of Reepham (only a few minutes’ walk up the lane), saw their portfolio expand quickly, as well as their staff team to include IT, marketing and homeowner support.

Taking a giant leap to today, Norfolk Cottages is part of the Original Cottages family of brands, with local customer-facing offices in the market town of Holt and the coastal town of Wells-next-the-Sea. The company’s original vision, passion and aims haven’t changed – to provide the best portfolio, customer service, local knowledge and holidays possible.
