Excellent accommodation very well presented, very well equipped, Hosts Matthew & Brian, super hosts.Once you've got used to steep stairs, sloping floors and low doorways, which all add to charm of property, the property is absolutely charming.

Lovely stay in this tastefully decorated cottage near the Norfolk/Suffolk border. Well equipped, very clean (bar some small make up marks on bedding/towels). Host lives next door and was friendly and contactable if needed. Books and photos of local history nice to see. Dog friendly and some treats provided which was lovely.The uneven floors (upstairs) and steep stairs with low ceiling do take a bit of getting used to! Mind your head! I found the beds comfy however my partner and father were not as keen.The town of Diss is nearby and has all your amenities, also a nice little place in itself. Roughly 35/40 mins from Norwich and an hour or just over to Lowestoft/Cromer/King's Lynn. Some nice country parks more locally.Would stay again.

Nice little holiday cottage. Very clean inside and everything we needed, but we did miss a washing machine. Upstairs as stated in description did not suit taller people because of low ceilings and doorways. The stairs are steep and may be a challenge for less mobile people.
