A beautiful cottage perfectly situated for the Broads and all the wonderful nature reserves in the area. The cake was fantastic and everything was modern and worked well. Plus a stunning garden to admire and perfect hosts. This all added up to a great week.

One of the best cottage rentals that we have stayed in. The cottage was well equipped, spacious and clean. The location is in a peaceful and exceptionally quiet setting, surrounded by lovely gardens and grounds. It is in an excellent location for exploring the Norfolk Broads. The charming hosts were on hand to deal with any problems, but were nRead moreot intrusive. The garden for use of guests was a good sitting out area with outdoor seating. Hide

Another lovely stay. We have two young children (5 & 7) and who have loved the experience of seeing the farm, under Jonathan's careful supervision, in the morning and evening taking part in feeding the animals, finding eggs and following Sooty the cat around. The cottage is an ideal layout with a great view across the garden into the field behind. Read moreAngela is a brilliant host and had a cake ready on arrival long with a jug of fresh milk. A great base for exploring the local area. Hide

A lovely comfortable and spacious cottage in wonderful surroundings. It was good to see all that was growing in the garden, there was such a variety of fruit, veg and flower with hardly a weed in sight. We had a great week and the weather was just perfect.
