What our customers say about their holidays

  Before arrival I was telephoned, received a short introduction and was offered more information if I tendered my email address to facilitate the sending of cottage and locality information which was most kind and helpful.

  On arrival after a long journey, and with only being able to give a vague indication of arrival time we were greeted personally and shown around.....Not the usual "Find a key in a box and here is the security code"! We were shown around the cottage, its facilities and equipment, some basic foodstuffs [milk, butter, sausages, bacon, cereals, bread, jams] which were supplied to us lest we arrive outside of shop opening times, and two bottles of wine! Again we were told the location of local restaurants, pubs, and shops. This personal touch is so rare nowadays and most welcome. The cottage was immaculate, clean and everything worked....more rare than one would imagine! On departure day we again received the owner's cheery smile without any pressure as to time of departure. I was just turning the dishwasher on and hoovering but I was told that was not necessary! I offer holiday accommodation myself so I know the importance of per arrival information and meeting and greeting so I was cheered that some others shared my own attention to detail! I would have no hesitation in returning for another visit, and in recommending this cottage to friends.

  It's such a wonderful place.

  Really quiet and tucked away in the countryside (was easy to find with the directions the owner gave) yet close enough to access everything you want whether this was the city of Norwich 8 miles away, the north coast (Cromer) 15 miles away or east coast (Great Yarmouth) 25 miles. The house is really well presented, clean and tidy and had all the amenities and more that you would require for the holiday, really all you have to do is turn up. The oven, hob, dishwasher and washing machine are easy enough to use. We are a family of 5 so for the sleeping arrangements one of us had to use the Z-bed which was no problems as this was comfy and both me and my son had a sleep on it. For the outside of the property there is your own section of garden to hang the clothes, you are able to wander around the farm looking in the stables or the pond. The owner is really nice and was there on a morning as she has her office on-site and tends the grounds. Only problem we had was we had to come home, but we would love to go back in the future.

  Had a lovely stay at Stud cottage.

  Our host was welcoming but not intruding. We appreciated nice touches like flowers, laid table & milk in the fridge. Interior of the cottage was clean & homely (outside photos don't do it justice). Rooms are a good size. Beds were a little hard/springy. Shower lovely. Kitchen well stocked with good quantities/variety of things (labelling cupboards may help in finding things). As with most holiday accommodation, bring large pans if you are family catering for cooking. Outside had a lawn to sit out on and for children to play. There's a fair number of things you can drive to locally (but not in walking distance): Bure Valley Railway (quaint, though expensive) Felbrigg Hall National Trust (stately home & gardens), Sea Palling beach (sandy, but crowded). Supermarkets, there is a small Morrisons 10 mins away and a larger Tesco 20mins. There's also the whole coast line to explore, the Broads & Norwich. Thank you Lin for letting us stay in your accommodation!

  From the moment we seen Windy Ridge we fell in love with this property.

  The house is cosy, modern and full with anything that you can think of for a great stay, fast Wi-Fi, magazines, books, games and a well stocked kitchen with any utensil you may require for your stay. The master bedroom is huge with an Emma mattress and good quality bed sheets, if you listen carefully you can hear the sea from this room. All other rooms were comfortable and had their own TV. The garden is huge and has a shed with some outdoor games inside and storage for body boards, bikes and sandy shoes. We spotted a family of hares, various birds and a deer during our stay all from the comfort of the sofa that looks out to the garden. The garden also has a bench looking out to the sea where we spotted some seals swimming. We spent most mornings and evenings on the bench watching the sun rise and set. If you are looking for a tranquil space to stay, with good walks and that is in a good position to visit coastal villages this is it!

  Windyridge is a lovely property and the bench overlooking the sea makes the holiday really special.

  The house is well equipped and comfortable with lots of space. The standard of cleaning could have been better, there were cobwebs and dust on the floor and the plastic tablecloth had sticky mug rings etc from the previous occupier. As there are no blinds on the large windows and the toilet opens directly into the living room, it was a bit alarming to find 2 window cleaners staring at me coming back from the shower on Saturday morning, followed by someone mowing the lawn later in the day. It left us feeling a bit vulnerable not knowing who was going to be outside the window next. The windows give a lovely view but it feels very exposed especially at night. All in all though the holiday was lovely, we saw 3 deer and a kestrel playing in the garden and sitting on the bench we saw several seals playing in the waves. The beach is easy to access right next to the property and there are nice shops in Stalham about 15 mins drive away.
