Lovely homely cottage in really quiet location. Well equipped kitchen and spacious accommodation. Very central for visiting North Norfolk. Great countryside views. Lovely walks directly from cottage.

Beautiful cottage in a great location. We were disappointed about the level of cleanliness (especially flooring and kitchenware) which we have reported to the owner. This didn't detract too much though from a very comfortable few days stay in a great part of Norfolk.

It's a good sign when you don't want to leave. Super cozy cottage, nicely furnished with lots of homely touches. Large well equipped kitchen, social lounge area with a good tv and wifi. Good size bedrooms and a great bed though possibly a bit of a squeeze if a full house. Nice welcome pack too. We enjoyed watching rabbits and pheasants from the wiRead morendows, and its a good location to reach the coast and inland attractions. Concerns over needing to drive miles on tiny roads to get there were unfounded apart from the last few minutes into the village, and access along the lane was easy to find from directions and not too bumpy. Would happily come back here. Hide

I would give it 4 stars generally, but it could be 5 if you state that there are 2 toilets in the house, not one, and that there is a good wifi connection. Both of these were not mentioned in the details of the house & really should have been.

Damp smell in hallway, no shoe policy indoors yet floors were filthy. Dishwasher was full & needed emptying. Loads of step upstairs made night time visits to toilet dangerous, thankfully dimer on bathroom light so it was left on. Not as described and not worth the money.

This is the second week we have spent at Aurora Cottage this year, the location is good for exploring the Norfolk countryside and coast. The cottage is cosy and welcoming, and is well equipped. My five year old daughter loves the bunk bed!

A very quiet rural location. Lovely view from lounge onto grassy hill. Saw deer there and an owl flying over at dusk. Cottage is very cosy and comfortable. No mobile coverage but wifi is good.
