  Cannot understand why sykes give this as excellent.

  . we stayed here from 7th September for a week, we had the change in weather to, on our arrival it was wow this is nice place and clean. Very quiet and peaceful except when you got traffic passing by the nearby road at stupid o clock, and we had a few boy racers pass. The day we arrived there was one light bulb out that needed replacement and one cracked plate. Then the next day the spot light blew putting it really dark as the lights that worked were properly only a few watts. So we couldn't play cards at the table or do cross words as the light was so dim. It took 2 days to replace things and in that time. I was operating the microwave using the torce on my mobile phone.. As for the wall tube heaters booth these were completely useless throwing out no heat, Above all there is evidence of damp {like in the first review I read-} the carpets were very damp you only had to walk on them in socks to find out.all our clothes stored under the bed were damp after about five days and we had to wash everything again even our clean stuff when we got home. I think the damp problems are caused by gutters that need cleaning, we enjoyed the week anyway eating out most days parking in Swaffham and using our bus passes going to Peterborough, Hunstanton, kings Lynn, Norwich, so there was plenty to do but because of our UK weather change, we had to change what we done, on the whole hug a tree is well situated for the area and is with in an hour of most places to visit, The shower was very good as was the bed comfortable, the black chairs had seen better days, I think a light aove the table would be a good thing, also if a dehumidifier was used in the hut this also would help so much,, This is only my review and I don't want to come across negative but these reviews are to help other people so I've tried to be honest. We may come back next year when the weather is warmer, that's if you will have us, best of luck from eden

  We enjoyed our holiday.

  The property was very clean and provided all we needed. It is well-situated, though a bit tricky to find and to access. We do not regret staying in it. That is what you should remember from this review. However, there are four factors, as far as we are concerned, which may not be an issue for most people but, taken together, could be summed up as eccentric. They may even be an attraction to some people. The first is the inordinate number of little notices placed everywhere, telling the occupant what is what, what to do, what not to do, where to go, you name it, it is on a notice. Literally dozens of them, including, I counted, about a dozen in the garden, 26 in the kitchen, 13 in the lounge, 11 in the bedroom, 11 in the bathroom. And these numbers do not include the notices inside the cupboards. Irritating. And odd. One notice that no longer applies has simply been turned over and left as a blank notice. The second is the number of mats on the floor. I counted 34, including four doormats. A potential hazard to some. Four rooms, one corridor, one doorstep, 34 mats. The third is the gloominess, despite sun tunnels, with small windows and large bushes growing in front of most, so the garden is invisible, at least in June. Finally, every surface is covered with either coasters and placemats or ornaments, often both. Not very practical and yet, strangely, an attempt to be very practical. I didn't count these; I was counted out. There was so much stuff that it was difficult to find a place to put our own bits. The pictures do not reflect any of this. It all amused our family, who received more photos of this property than any other we have stayed in.

  Having visited many cottages over the years, this cottage proved to be far too personal, it appeared cluttered with personal items that need not be on show.

  Also, there was an inordinate number of small information notices in each room that, although informative and amusing, could also be covered within the information file. At the time we visited, the garden area was quite wild and in our opinion could not be used, It had been redesigned from the information online, it showed a small lawned area, this lawn however, had been changed for large ornamental pebbles. In our opinion there was far too much plant growth around the door ways and windows which forced us to keep doors and windows closed, although it was lovely weather, just to keep insects, squirrel's and pigeon's from entering the cottage. To highlight the positives, The owner "Nici" who lives close by, was lovely and a total privilege to meet and talk with. During our stay we were totally left to our own devices the facilities were great, a cottage with everything you could possibly need for your stay, well layed out, super clean and comfortable. The bed was certainly big enough and thoroughly comfortable, and we enjoyed a great nights sleep. There were many superb hospitality touches, such as welcome treats, which were very generous indeed, they certainly stood out from other cottages we have visited. The parking facilities were fine and the cottage location was, in our opinion, central to Norfolk within easy reach of the coast and other inland location's. Finally, We would certainly recommend this cottage if you like a rural location with oodles of peace and quiet.

  This is by far the best place we have ever stayed in.

  It's absolutely wonderful, and our host Nici has excelled in her hospitality. The standard of service is astounding and far exceeded our expectations. Everything you could ever want is right there for a comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable stay. This cottage is incredibly clean, tidy and well looked after with fantastic appliances including an amazing cooker, washing machine, television with a full complement of DVD's, fully functional Wi-Fi with excellent coverage and an impressive range of reading material. The cottage has ample heating and is warm, pleasant and cosy. The bedroom is elegant and tastefully laid out with surplus bedding and clean towels. A spacious living room is the epitome of comfort living. With two electric reclining chairs, a generous view of the garden, soft carpets, lovely décor and plenty traditional entertainment, it has all one could want. Access to the cottage is via a close, and two parking bays on a gravel driveway provide sufficient and secure storage, that is easy to navigate. The location is ideal for that truly rural experience, yet close enough for shopping (Swaffham is a ten-minute drive). All in all, a memorable experience we can recommend to friends and family alike. Thank you.

  Heath Priory was an holistic oasis.

  If you want a variety of treatments then this can offer most. The Lodge was lovely, just as per the photos. It is set in about 3 to 4 acres with a variety of other accomodation options, about four Shepard huts, two or three treatment rooms, three or four apartments in the main House. A lovely lake to walk around. Obviously when the property is busy then other customers walk past your private south facing deck and the huge plate glass window overlooking the lake. This is not a lodge on its own. They offer a" hot tent" too sometimes!! We may have missed it in the introduction but the treatment offers could be made clearer for bookings. We would have taken advantage of them if we had known and perhaps stayed longer. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you Mags.
