The cottage was nice and in a quiet location. The cottage was well equipped and in a clean state. The heating was fine and the wood burning stove a welcome addition when the weather cooled down.

Dolphin Cottage is a lovely well cared for cottage with lots of room, providing everything needed for a self catering holiday. The location is very peaceful and perfect for the short walks into Cley, Blakeney and a morning coffee at Wiveton Hall.

Fantastic location to explore the area and visit our son. Great cottage with everything you could need for a stay. Accommodation worked for us as grandparents had the downstairs room and ensuite and we used the upstairs. Parking outside property was tricky but just parked at the end of the road not a problem. Looking at returning in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. Parking is rather difficult but we managed to squeeze in 2 cars on the roadside and others cars could pass by. It seemed to cater for all our needs and a good location for visiting north Norfolk beaches

Almost Perfect Cottage. Loved our stay. Well equipped. Clean. Tidy. Comfortable. Set down a very quiet lane in a sleepy village. Going out of season I suppose guarantees this. Information in the folder was very helpful. Well placed base to visit the wonderful beaches and beautiful surrounding villages. Even Sandringham not far to drive. We haRead mored an amazing 5 night break. My Dog also loved it, it was a huge adventure for her. At 13 1st time on the bus and boat Seal Watching. Hide
