  “Morris House was our choice for New Year, it was wonderful. 6 bedrooms, for 8 adults, over 3 floors, no worry of not enough room for anyone. The annex had 2 of these bedrooms, and wonderful facilities, so 2 stayed there with a dog, and joined us in the larger house, from breakfast onwards.<br /> The dining room in Morris House was generous enough and had seating for the 8 of us at all our meal times. In the lounge there was enough soft comfortable seating for the 8 of us, plus occasional tables for your drinks. As we cooked breakfast every morning, the kitchen was so well equipped even down to a potato peeler.............saucepans galour, plates, cups, glasses everything. Upstairs the first floor had 2 double bedrooms with on-suite, 1 a double bed and the other twin beds. Also on that floor a wonderful large family bathroom/shower room, with a roll top bath. (Only issue found was that the twin bedded room, had no stool to sit on or mirror to sit and dry your hair at). Top floor, 2 more bedrooms, not on-suite, one very large double bed with views of the sea, and at the front of the house had two single beds, along the side of the double room, a toilet and corner bath, no shower. No garden as such if you go with children but enough room to park 3 cars safely behind the gate, and safe and dog friendly. We would not hesitate to book this again, ALL 8 of us loved it and it is right in the centre of Sheringham, on the road parallel to the Clock Tower. Restaurants near by, Stubby&#39;s pizza, The Bank - Nepal restaurant, No 10, great take away fish and chip shop.<br /> Thankyou, whoever own&#39;s it for the use over the New Year.”

  We had a fantastic week at Ted's Place in Aylsham - a very comfortable stay for 5 of us (me, my wife, our 6yo son and my wife's parents).

  The house is a real home-from-home and has everything you need for a self-catering break, including a large garden where we sat and relaxed on the first evening after a 4-hour journey from London in bank holiday traffic (and enjoyed the complimentary bottle of wine that was waiting for us in the fridge!) The only minor niggles, which have already been mentioned by other guests, are the parking and access to the property. The house is located down a narrow one-way lane (blink and you'll miss it when coming into Aylsham for the first time - even if you've researched it on Google streetview beforehand) and parking outside/near the house is first-come, first-served, but if you don't get parked right outside you can usually find somewhere within a minute's walk. However, this was to be expected for the location and was communicated to us by Sarah ahead of time. As other reviewers have mentioned, the house is in an ideal location for exploring Norfolk. We visited Cromer a couple of times, which only took about 15 minutes to get to in the car. The Bure Valley railway that goes to Wroxham (for boat trips on the Broads) is a short walk through the town and we also visited Bewilderwood (again, about 15mins by car) which is a fantastic day out for little ones. Aylsham itself has plenty of cake shops and bakeries and we ate dinner in the Black Boys hotel/pub a couple of times, which was excellent (and the hearty breakfast we had there on our last morning set us all up for the journey home). When we return to Norfolk for another family holiday in the near future we will definitely use Ted's Place again.

  Stayed here for 1 week 31st July 2020.

  The cottage is well managed with everything you could need in a home from home, and was immaculately clean and Sarah is managing the covid situation very effectively. The cottage is spacious and decorated to a high standard. The facilities are excellent. The cottage is set down a very quiet one way street, which means you hardly ever hear any traffic as it is not a through route. Parking can be easily found either in the culdesac at the end of the road or at the top of the street, and it's only a walk of 1-2 minutes to the cottage, but you can easily pull up to unload at load on arrival/departure. The garden is mature and a great space to enjoy. The neighbors are really friendly and happily recommended beaches to visit. Aylsham is a fantastic place to stay to relax and unwind whilst still being within easy access of local stores and pubs. The Black Boys Hotel offers fab pub grub and worth a visit, as is the clothing store Amika. Aylsham is 20 minutes drive from Cromer, Sheringham and Mundesley beaches which are all worth a visit. The North Norfolk Steam train line is a great day out and managing the covid situation by allocating cabins to just your party, which worked really well. We are happy to highly recommend Ted's Place and Aylsham and we would definitely stay here again.

  Living in a detached house in a small village near York, it was something of a gamble to rent this terraced house in the middle of a town.

  On the first night, we ordered an Indian takeaway, walked in the wrong direction down Town Lane and got lost for a whole hour. When we finally collected our meal and found Ted's Place we thought we had locked myself out and Sarah's husband had to let us in. This is a lovely property, which had everything we could have dreamed of and we ultimately enjoyed a fantastic week. The neighbours (we are very detached from them at home), got up early and woke us up. Their dogs barked and made my dog bark. People walked past the windows, front and back. They were however really nice, friendly people, as were all of the other people we met in Aylsham. Bottom line is, we enjoyed ourselves so much that we want to come back next year, if you will have us. P.S. Thank you for all the goodies you left for us.

  This is a delightful cottage and we really enjoyed our stay.

  The owner had been staying there during the week previous to our visit and Ted's Place definitely has the feeling of being cherished as somebody's home. The neighbours were friendly and helpful too. The step up from the road to the front door was quite a stride but this wasn't a problem as we used the back door instead which was on the level. I would suggest that visitors bring a torch as the small alley to the back door was very dark at night. Also, if you have parked the car down the lane you will see better as you walk back to the property with the aid of a good torch. Those pitch black night skies in Norfolk are a revelation for stargazers! Aylsham is a super town and well situated for visiting all that North Norfolk has to offer.
