  Nice location, very peaceful working farm, sadly the barn lacked some necessities.

  The free biscuits, crisps and small amount of tea, coffee and sugar were appreciated however, a pint of milk would have been useful, this has been pretty standard with all other places we have stayed in the past. The necessities lacking include; four comfy seats in the lounge area (a corner sofa would be a good idea instead of the uncomfortable wicker chair), decent pillows as the ones we had were flat and I would have thrown them away, smaller basins in the ensuites would be better instead of the huge ones in there, sound proofing in the boiler cupboard would be fantastic as it is extremely noisy to be in the bedroom and outdoor furniture for the garden area as we could not enjoy this despite the beautiful weather. I had to go and buy two pillows to be comfortable when sleeping I have never had to do this before. The owners also failed to notify us that the power and internet were going off on one day during our stay, this could have interfered with a planned business meeting had the electricians I spoke to not been extremely helpful as the owners were nowhere in sight or close by. The power outage did interrupt the cooking of breakfast until I asked them to put it back on due to this! This is not good enough you need to communicate with your clients. Overall a nice place to stay but the necessities need sorting.

  We had a lovely stay at Sparrow Cottage, everything was really clean with good quality fixtures and fittings, bedding and towels were all fresh and soft.

  The wi-fi recently installed was really good, but there was no phone signal. There were plenty of plug sockets, each with there own usb slot, which was really useful and something you don't always find especially on a farm. The farm is situated up a small very quiet lane so there was hardly any noise, it was beautiful to look out of the window straight onto the pond, out the back. Helen and Tim were lovely very friendly and Tim loves his life on the farm with a real passion. Dogs Jip and Finn, were friendly and loved coming over for a fuss. Lovely fresh eggs straight from the chickens. The well known Marriott's Way was only a few hundred yards from the farm and was ideal for dog walking, although the weather, in particular the wind, was really high, making it biting and icy, or we would probably have walked a lot further than we did and would have been lovely if not so cold. It was a lovely relaxing time, although the weather wasn't great it was warm and cosy in the cottage with Netflix and Amazon on the TV in both the living room and bedroom, so it definitely wasn't a problem.

  Overall a very comfortable place to stay.

  The beds were fantastic and we had really good nights sleep, and both en-suite showers were really good. Lots of properties aren’t as good as this, so it was a welcome change for a good nights sleep and a great shower in the morning. Plenty of space in the bedrooms, but the lounge was a little more compact. The sofa and armchair were quite low down, so getting out of them was a struggle for me and my dodgy knees. Kitchen was well fitted out with all you needed. Heating and hot water plentyiful. It was a bitterly cold and snowy weekend, and the paving slabs on the patio and leading up the walkway to the door were covered in black ice. Very dangerous in the dark. Would have been ideal to have had some grit to through down and melt it away. If you’re taking a four legged friend, it’s a short walk down to the disused railway line for a flat walk in either direction to either Reepham or Whitwell stations. Both are heritage railway sites and the cafes are fantastic. Highly recommend the Kings Arms in Reepham for a meal. We would definitely use again if we were visiting the area.

  Directions to Home To Roost could possible be updated : Carry straight on up Church Lane, Take first left and then first right and you will find house on the left hand side.

  Route currently given is very very difficult, huge pot holes and at the moment Huge puddles so it is very difficult to see how bad the pot holes are. Kitchen utensils could do with being updated i.e. Scissors that actually cut, hand mixer - broken. If they want to put clocks in the house, there are two - then put batteries in them. Welcome Pack, very poor. Very little information or ideas of where to go and what to do. No local attractions leaflets ( we collected and left some) No helpful instructions on how to use the DVD Sign outside of house is barely visible and needs updating - especially if you are to order a take away! Key box very difficult to open - took two of us!! Remote Control in Bedroom doesn't work properly - no volume control and you have to turn it on and off at the plug. Some occasional tables in the lounge would be useful instead of one large box. We also had to go and buy bin liners as there was none supplied. Not one of the best properties we've stayed in

  We arrived a little early but were met with smiles and friendliness.

  The accommodation was ready. We had a few instructions to follow with regard to Covid 19. This was clear and concise. The barn was clean and tidy. There was a lovely welcome pack so that we could have tea and biscuits before we ventured out to shop. Tim and Helen could not have been more helpful without being intrusive. Tim lent me his fishing rod so that I could fish in the pond. It was peaceful and very relaxing. We had fresh farm eggs that were gifted to us. They told us to ring them at any time if there were any problems. There weren't any. We saw a variety of wildlife around the barn and pond. Kingfishers, Heron, Linnets, Wagtails and finches and yes there are sparrows! A great base to tour from and visit local seaside places. The roads are small and narrow in places... but it is the country after all! We had the most wonderful time and would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone. Thank you Tim and Helen for making our stay such a delight.
