We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this idyllic cottage which offered everything we could have hoped for and more. The property is tucked away in a peaceful countryside location but perfectly situated for exploring both Norfolk and Suffolk. The cottage was spotlessly clean with a warm and inviting interior, including vases of fresh flowers which were a lovely touch, along with a welcome pack containing tea, coffee, fresh milk and biscuits which was much appreciated. There is plenty of space to park off road at the property which made our arrival easy and a fabulous garden to relax in.During our stay we enjoyed exploring the North Norfolk coastal towns and villages and took a tranquil boat ride through the reed lined waterways at The Norfolk Wildlife Trust, Hickling Broad and visited the wonderfully renovated and only recently reopened Norwich Castle which is well worth a visit.We also ventured into Southwold, Suffolk and enjoyed a lovely peaceful circular walk to Walberswick and back. Two beautiful seaside towns.A special mention to must go to our hosts , Siobhan, Ian and Rosie, who provided exceptional communication and were genuinely committed to making sure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality made our stay feel extra special.We couldn't have asked for more. A beautiful cottage in an ideal location with outstanding hosts. We highly recommend this property and would love to return.
