A long weekend in May with friends, this was the first time we have ever hired a cottage, and we were not disappointed . The place was immaculate , spotless and spacious . Very nice large enclosed and private garden and a hot tub and BBQ both of which we enjoyed to the full.Location in a small village near Norwich is excellent. We all loved it and shall certainly rebook for another break .

Fantastic stay at Harbord House with friends. The host are lovely and easy to reach if needed. The location of the house is great, small village not far from Norwich. Peaceful with beautiful surrounding - if lucky you can see some wild animals near by. The house it self spotless, very beautiful decor, comfortable beds and in overall very spacious indeed. I love that they had stargates, felt at easy with my 1 year old :) Appreciate that they provide towels, coffee/tea/ sugar and something to wash clothes and dishes (a lot places doesn't do that and in my opinion its the most basic simple thing that property could have) Their booklet is also great with lots of information to give. A little treat such as milk and cheesecake and some doggies accessories (although we saw that at the end of our stay) We personally would definitely come back here, the only thing I would add maybe have some equipment to clean the BBQ, in overall everything was FANTASTIC!! Thank you Natalie and Darren :)

Thoroughly recommended. Plenty of space in comfortable cottage. Location good for exploring by car but only a pub within easy walking distance. Hosts very helpful. Good size hot tub.
