D & S
Beautifully decorated cottage. We appreciated the lovely pictures downstairs and the stove which we lit most nights. The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed walking from home to Cley, via the marshes, seeing the snowdrops at Little Walsingham Priory Gardens, seeing wildfowl at The Lookout Holkham. For an easy place to eat The White Horse across the road was good. We enjoyed visiting the church at Burnham Thorpe where Lord Nelson grew up and his father was rector.

We came here to have much needed family time and to slow down. This is our second trip to Yew Tree Cottage and we love it here. We enjoyed walks to Cley and games in the George & Dragon bar. Lovely house, we would recommend coming back soon.

Thank you so much, we have loved staying here - such a quaint and beautiful cottage! We've enjoyed walks along the marshes and beaches, Holkham Hall, Blickling Hall and the big Norfolk skies! Tips for future guests - mind your head! Nice meal at The White Horse. Recommend Titchwell RSPB. Lasting memories - deserted beaches at Wells and Burnham Overy Staithe.
