The cottage was very homely and the garden excellent for our dogs. Although the cottage seems isolated, it is within easy reach of all beaches, towns, walking trails and attractions. It was lovely to get back to the cottage, sit in the garden and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Very nicely situated for a peaceful recharge. Great size garden for dogs to run off some energy. Found the cottage comfy. Well stocked kitchen to cook a holiday breakfast or as we did a meal to snuggle up after a long walk. So many lovely places to visit nearby made it a great base to explore from.

The cottage was beautiful, very well maintained and well equipped. We were between 10-20 minutes to all the beaches and a short drive into the town of Fakenham. The cottage is remote and nothing really in the village of Kettlestone, but that is how we wanted it. We have no complaints at all and also a safe perfect garden for our doggy friends. WoulRead mored highly recommend to anybody looking for a quiet getaway and all the beaches just a minimal drive away Hide
