This is a really lovely, comfortable cottage. Tina and Paul are fantastic hosts and have thought about all the little extra things like toiletries, hot drinks including tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc and providing milk, butter and fresh bread on arrival along with a very warm welcome. We booked the cottage for a short break and included a trip to Snetterton Race track which only took us around 30 minutes to drive to. We would recommend this cottage without hesitation and it's already on our list of places to return to.

A beautiful cottage in a quiet and pretty area. Everything we needed was there and the bed was very comfortable. Comfortable sofa and chairs and table to eat at if you wanted too. Very clean and tidy. Lovely garden at the back of the property.
