The cottage amenities were excellent thank you, good quality and all that was needed. More plug sockets in the kitchen would be helpful e.g. a double plug by the kettle, one for the toaster would have been very useful.

Fantastic property. We have stayed in many over the years and using different companies. But this place was really lovely. All ground floor no steps not even outside. Only one thing we felt it needed was handrails in all the showers as 3 of us all have mobility issues.

The Cattle Barn is a lovely property in an ideal location to visit many places in Norfolk. The owner (Rachel) has thought of everything and the cottage has every piece of equipment that you could possibly need. Its also tastefully and beautifully decorated and furnished making it feel like a home rather than a rental property. It was also spotlesslRead morey clean with fresh smelling bed linen and soft, fluffy towels. The bedrooms are spacious with good size en-suites containing a huge and powerful shower. The garden is completely enclosed and well-maintained with a patio table, chairs and parasol plus other comfy chairs with cushions. Theres ample parking for 2 cars directly outside of the cottage. The owner gave us some great recommendations of places to eat in the area. Hide

We loved the cottage and its amenities. Welcome pack was lovely. Everything spotless and well presented. Plenty of immediate hot water, very well thought out. For our family group however we found the 2.5 miles via Corpusty on a single track road not preferred for us but if you want that type of access this is definitely worth booking,
