This lovely mid-terrace dwelling, Holly Cottage, is situated on the outskirts of the market town of Swaffham in Norfolk. This delightful holiday home is an ideal base for couples sharing or small family of four with plenty of things to see and do within easy reach; one well-behaved dog is also welcomed. Once you have parked your car at the front of the cottage, enter the small porch, where you can leave your shoes and coats before reaching the kitchen, well-equipped to rustle up delicious meals. From the kitchen is a spacious sitting room with dining area, featuring a woodburning stove, and plush seating, along with enough dining space for all guests. On a sunny day, let the outside in by opening the French doors that lead out onto the garden, complete with a lawn, decking, furniture, and a firepit, a great place to enjoy an alfresco meal at any time of the day. Leading off the kitchen are stairs to the first floor, where you will find two bedrooms, a master double and a twin, together with a compact bathroom with corner bath and shower over. Within walking distance is Swaffham, with its independent shops and pubs, and you're close to stately homes, coastlines, wildlife reserves, the wonderful Norfolk Broads, and the cathedral city of Norwich. Experience all of this at Holly Cottage. Note: This cottage can be booked with Refs: 931499 and 934591, together they sleep 14.
Swaffham is a market town in Norfolk with beautiful Georgian structures housing stores, taverns, and restaurants. There is a vibrant Saturday market there as well as a farmers' market twice a month. Swaffham is located on the edge of The Brecks, a rural region of agricultural, heathland, and forest environments. The Brecks is peppered with towns and villages to explore and is full of activities for walking, cycling, horseback riding, and more. Go Ape high wire adventure is available in Thetford Forest, and it's simple to take a journey to Norfolk's magnificent shoreline or Broads. Swaffham and Norfolk make a great year-round base for the entire family with National Trust estates, maritime, farming, and aviation museums, or zoos, nature preserves, and adventure parks to visit.

It would be better for the bathroom to be refitted as a walk in shower There was no bolt on the bathroom door which infringed the privacy of anyone using the bathroom There was no lock or bolt on the bathroom door which led to an infringement of privacy for anyone using the bathroom One of the chairs in the lounge had a worn headrest and this caused little pieces of plastic to continually fall to the floor The patio area needed weeding and washing to improve the outside aspect The welcome pack was considerate and very welcome The small bedroom had very little storage for clothes etc We are not able to recommend this property for four people but would suggest it is marketed as a two person property We did enjoy the holiday and the area

She had also supplied soap in the kitchen and bathroom. Toilet paper and kitchen roll. All little extras that make a big difference. The cottage was like home from home so tastefully decorated with exquisite furniture and wonderful ornaments and paintings on the wall The seating was comfortable as was the bed. The bathroom had a large corner bath with shower over a sink and toilet. There was limited space but not a problem. We didnât use the log fire as the cottage was warm but there was a basket of logs and kindling available Off road parking space in front of the house which is always a bonus The bus to Kings Lynn ran right past the house which you could use to go into Swaffham if needed but it was only a twenty minute walk You could also get the bus to Norwich on the opposite side of the road Plenty of shops, pubs cafes etc in Swaffham and ample parking A large Tesco supermarket just outside the town centre The location was good nice and quiet with a lovely enclosed garden for our dog to use. We would highly recommend Holly Cottage and hope to visit again in the future
Mollie
Easy walk into town. Would be ideal for anyone with a dog as there is a good dog friendly garden although we didnât have a dog. Steps were a challenge but that was because we are 80\84 and live in a bungalow but we did manage ok. Very good welcome package so you could have a tea or coffee & biscuit on arrival or even a glass of wine if thatâs your preference. Would stay there again.
