Had a great stay at the Cottage, lovely location and plenty of room. Had an issue with the hot water but this was sorted out very quickly. Would definitely return and recommend to a friend. Great Cottage feel with log burner, ideal if you have dogs with you. Plenty of fridge/freezer space. Great value

The property is in the pretty village of Stiffkey, a great location to explore North Norfolk. The area around the property is quiet as there are only two other cottages close by.

Floors were wet on arrival at 4p.m and took ages to dry, couldn't unload the car till later.
