What our customers say about their holidays

  This is a genuinely old cottage and has been sensitively refurbished to provide all modern amenities whilst still retaining its strong cottage character.

  The owners have gone to great lengths to provide all that could possibly be required for an enjoyable and comfort stay, for people and (if applicable) a dog. Internally it is a delightful, cozy property. It is well placed for touring around Norfolk, and an interesting walking/cycle route along a former railway (The Marriott’s Way) is very close. However it does have some drawbacks beyond the owners’ control. It is situated on a very busy main road near a major junction and almost opposite a large petrol station. However it is double-glazed and pretty quiet inside. There is, as promised, space off road outside for one car, but if any visitors had a second car this would be very difficult to park nearby. Although there is a small enclosed garden to rear, there is no outlook other than the road. The tiny spiral stair could be very hazardous for the very old, young or anyone with limited mobility. The combination of very awkward stairs and downstairs bathroom, beyond the living room and kitchen, make access to the bathroom difficult in the night. Additionally one of the double bedrooms can only be reached through the other. For any visitors for whom these drawbacks do not matter, and there may well be many, the property can be warmly recommended.

  Enjoyed our short stay at Megs Cottage.

  Lovely cosy and comfortable cottage. Well equipped cottage, beyond expectations of facilities and level of provisions provided in the cottage. Chose Megs Cottage as it was close to family we were visiting for a few days on our holiday tour and we were delighted with local amenities. Due to the descriptions provided by the owner we were aware of the steep stair and managed okay. Although we didn’t try to take our one large suitcase upstairs! The only disappointing factor was the parking space. Although described as parking for one car, the available space was compromised due to the now overgrown shrubbery which was not shown on website photos, as this still shows an old photo without any shrubbery, only a few plant pots on the left of parking space. The hedge, bushes and plants that surround the parking space really could do with being cut well back or removed altogether to provide a bigger space, as to ensure ease of exit from car the passenger had to get out before entering the space to allow the driver to gain plenty room at their door to exit safely without scratching door on hedge and give enough space to actually get passed car.

  On arrival at The Haven we had a lovely warm welcome from Mary the owner to hand over the key.

  Inside she had left some tasty homemade treats and some flowers which were a pleasant touch. The Haven is light and airy with modern furniture exactly like the photos online. We found everything we needed there and everything was spotless. The bed was extremely comfortable and we both slept exceptionally well. Wacton is very quiet at night with hardly any passing traffic. On finding out we are vegetarians Mary must have researched Long Stratton because she texted me to tell me of a local vegetarian cafe, a very thoughtful gesture. All in all Mary is a lovely host, the couple next door are lovely and friendly and The Haven is perfect for peace and quiet after a busy day sightseeing. It’s a perfect base for visiting North Norfolk, the east coast, and villages to the west or south of Norwich. Would we recommend The Haven? You bet we would.

  We received a very warm welcome from owners, Mary, Micheal, and friendly tail wags from Monty the dog, on our arrival at The Haven.

  They were so helpful during our stay and so were the friendly neighbors next door. The fresh flowers, along with the delicious homemade goodies, were a lovely touch. It was a most peaceful and relaxing break away at the Haven, and so enjoyed sitting on the private patio, in the pretty sun-soaked garden. The annex is a delightful retreat and within easy reach of the beaches, boating on The Norfolk Broads, local walks, pretty villages, and good pubs to dine at. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped along with the light modern-decorated lounge too, which I'm sure would be very cozy with the wood burner in the colder months. There are so many things to do nearby that we are very much looking forward to a return stay! Mandy & Alan June 2023.

  This was our second stay at The Haven and just like the first visit it didn’t disappoint.

  The property gives the impression of being small but it is deceptively roomy and comfortable. Facing an orchard and surrounded by countryside it really is an haven. All on one level, it is perfect for anyone, like me, with mobility problems, providing you can step into the property. The wonderful hosts Mary and Michael, not forgetting Monty, the four legged assistant, are on hand to ensure you have all you need to enjoy your stay in this wonderful location. The village is quiet and peaceful with very friendly neighbours and is minutes away from the major road network to take you to all the attractions Norfolk has to offer. The property is spotlessly clean and a welcome pack awaits your arrival. We are booked in again for March and are looking forward to our return.
