Lovely cottage! Cannot fault anything. Great location, lovely walks and pubs nearby. We had a small issue with the shower to which the owner responded promptly. Will be returning at some point in the new year.

A beautiful cottage in a great location! Perfect for a visit to Norfolk, for coast and Broads. Close to all amenities. The cottage itself was cosy and a home from home , everything you needed under one roof. Very clean , kitchen very well equipped for cooking meals when not eating out at the great pubs in the village. Most comfortable bed for goodnights sleep, yes you can hear a bit of traffic as seems to be a busy road through the village, but not enough to put you off staying.

Lovely, cosy cottage in a great location. Note that it has very steep stairs. Super pub 10 mins walk away for riverside drinks. Fish and chip shop 5 mins walk. Very satisfied.
