Guests say

Guests consistently praise the cottage for its peaceful and scenic setting, cleanliness, and the warm welcome provided by the hosts, Rachel and Dudley. The presence of animals and the proximity to local attractions, including Norwich and Thetford Forest, add to the charm. The thoughtful touches, such as a welcome hamper with treats, contribute to the delightful experience.

Reviewers frequently mention the cleanliness of the cottage, describing it as well-maintained and spotless. The attention to detail in this regard has been appreciated by many guests.

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity and proximity to local amenities and attractions. The scenic views and easy access to Norfolk's sights are noted as highlights, although one mention of noise from a nearby race track suggests it may not be perfectly serene for all.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of a cosy bed and well-equipped living spaces. The garden and patio areas are appreciated for relaxation. One comment about a hard bed suggests room for improvement, but overall, comfort levels are rated highly.

The cottage is consistently described as well-equipped, with all necessary cooking utensils and a generous welcome pack. The presence of animals and a well-maintained garden add to the facilities' charm. A few minor maintenance issues are noted, but they do not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback.

The hosts' thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating the welcome pack, which often includes treats like wine, cake, and fresh eggs. While these gifts are warmly received, it is politely noted that such extras, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Set on open farmland in the heart of South Norfolk, Romulus is an attractive single storey farm building that is presented to a high standard and creates an ideal base for exploring South Norfolk and Suffolk.

 

Set on the owners' arable farm at Larling in South Norfolk, Romulus is a very attractive holiday home that has been converted from original farm buildings to an excellent standard, which is reflected in its 4* Gold Visit England award.  The open plan living area is capacious and features a large oak beam through the centre of the room, whilst double French windows give beautiful views across the fields to the local church and beyond. The modern kitchen area is well equipped and the light airy double bedroom has an en-suite bathroom.  Underfloor heating is laid throughout making this holiday cottage a luxurious and relaxing place to unwind.   Situated in a designated area of Special Scientific Interest, the cottage is on the doorstep of Thetford Forest where there are plenty of cycle tracks and walks to be found.  You can also find fishing, golf and a public swimming pool within a few miles.  Gooderstone Water Gardens and Nature Trail set in 6.5 acres and Oxburgh Hall are close by and the rspb Reserve of Lakenheath Fen is a short drive away.   Closer to home is the exhilarating Snetterton Racing Circuit, which hosts many car and motor bike racing events throughout the year and for more cultural pursuits the cities of Norwich and Cambridge are within easy reach

    Lovely location, lovely cottage, beautiful wildlife but a little remote. Welcome and hospitality great, nice touch of wine, biscuits, milk and cake on arrival.

  • Mr Turner

    We had a wonderful, relaxing week at Romulus. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable while still giving us plenty of privacy. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat to unwind, this place is perfect. Its central location also makes it a great base for exploring Norfolk. The cottage is set on a working farm, which adds to the charm, and the garden is beautifully maintained. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
