  A beautiful, well equipped property.

  Plenty of cutlery, crockery and glasses. 2 kettles, 2 microwaves, 2 large fridge and a large freezer. The very fast dishwasher & ice machine were brilliant, also washer, dryer and iron for those who wanted such things. Availability of high chair and cot was great. Games room was a hit. We set up a table with a jigsaw and another with crafts and colouring things for the children for the week and it was not in the way as property is vast. (Craft and colouring things brought from home). Beds comfy, and rooms very nicely decorated, all having a hairdryer and shampoo & conditioner. Plenty of parking. Hot tub and sauna were fab. Downsides, showers upstairs went cold if more than one being used, toilet in one annexe didn't flush well. One bedroom is not ensuite, but we used the toilet at the bottom of the stairs during the night & the shower in the changing room so that we had our own space. All things considered, the pluses far outweigh the negatives and it's a great place for a big family holiday. Would highly recommend. Also, Tracey, the manager, was friendly, helpful and accommodating as some of our group arrived earlier than planned.

  I have just spent a week in this wonderful place celebrating my 70th birthday.

  Me and my family, all 21 of us are still talking about how amazing it was. All boxes were ticked, truly. Thank you Lou for meeting us on the first day, it was like Christmas when we walked into the pub. The karaoke was brilliant and the F1 simulators were much enjoyed. Every room had the most comfortable bed. Thank you Tracey for looking after us, always there at our beckon call when needed. The sauna and steam room were the icing on the cake for us. What a treat to relax a week before Xmas. My brother in law loves cooking and he said the kitchen was to die for. None of us could fault the place. Thank you also to Sykes Cottages who were most helpful when I had any queries. I whole heartedly recommend The Five Bells Inn and will look to return again in the future.

  My family (5 adults and 2 kids) had an amazing stay at Coronation Cottage.

  It’s warm/cosy, spacious and very well equipped…. It felt like home away from home. From the moment we entered the drive way the house had an inviting feel about it. A lovely back garden with outdoor seating leading to the river - in the summer would make a great entertainment area. The kitchen/utility had all the mod cons we needed for our stay. Rooms and beds were clean and comfy. There was an issue with the common bathroom shower but Tracey dealt with it and quickly arranged a plumber to sort it. The cottage is located in a small quiet town/village with a few shops and tasty fish and chip shop! I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends and hope to return again some day.

  Exceptional property with a stunning garden in an idyllic location.

  The village was so picturesque with the river carrying barges and boats, plus providing a home for the many swans and wildlife. The Coronation Cottage was extremely well planned, with plenty of room to relax in. The beds were so comfortable and the facilities/equipment provided covered all our needs. The extras and welcome pack provided by Tracey were greatly appreciated. We found lot's to do in the local area and enjoyed a variety of days out. We especially enjoyed the National Trust properties and Downham Market. We would highly recommend Coronation Cottage and would love to return one day. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

  The cottage was beautiful and very spacious.

  We were a family of 5. 2 adults and 3 teenagers. The garden is just magnificent and perfect for lazy sunny days. The welcome from Tracey and the basket of goodies ready for us was very gratefully received. There isn’t much to do in Upwell itself but it is very beautiful and you can fish, which we did a lot of. Lots of little walks to do too. We found that anything we wanted to do was at least 35mins to an hour away. We can highly recommend a visit to Ely and Sandringham. We also enjoyed Hunstanton beach.
