Wonderful cottage that suited our needs for a base to explore Norfolk. Everything we needed for our stay, we didn’t do much cooking but the kitchen was very well equipped with lots of baking trays and cookware, these are often overlooked in other places I’ve stayed in. Tesco delivery to the cottage was straightforward.Internet connection very good. Easy instructions for appliances. We were blessed with good weather but there was a good selection of board games and books.Garden was well enclosed and although the neighbours were in close proximity we didn’t feel overlooked when using the hot tub. Local village a quick walk and flat which suited my mobility issues. Butchers and local shop plus a good sized playground for children and good food at the pub. Would also recommended the Dog for food just a few minutes drive away. Great location for the Broads, 10 minute drive into Wroxham for boat trips and more shops and amenities. We found the closest beach to be Sea Palling (20 minute drive) lovely sandy beach with life guards, not too busy and dogs allowed on a good section. Excellent fish and chips at the Beach Rock Bistro and the kids enjoyed the milkshakes. Bed linen and towels good quality, my only suggestion would be to provide other towels for use with the hot tub as I didn’t pack extra (my fault) and I didn’t want to ruin the white towels provided for that purpose. We are not dog owners and there was a distinct smell of dog on arrival, despite being cleaned but after a few days airing it out it dissipated and wasn’t a huge problem for us. Also, as previously mentioned, lots of cobwebs but again not a huge problem and adds to the cottage character. Overall, a wonderful, spacious holiday cottage, we would be happy to stay here again if visiting the area in future.

Wonderful stay at cobweb cottage. Really great location and beautiful house. Plenty of space for all the family and a well equipped kitchen with all the amenities (including 2x fridge and freezers!!). Some slight negatives including no hand soap in 2/3 bathrooms, outside bins full and no information on bin collection days, and a large shaggy rug in living room that is impossible to hoover.

Great Location to do everything you need to do. Went with kids and grand kids, went on a boat ride on the Broads, zoo at Cromer, Bewildered Wood was brilliant and only down the road, saw the seals at Horsey Gap which was brilliant, had a beech day. 2 good local pubs in walking distance. Best family holiday so far, thank you
