The Cottage itself is great and is probably in a good location if you are ramblers. We are more of a family that likes picturesque towns/villages, quirky shops, welcoming and dog friendly pubs with character and good food. Consequently, found we had more driving to do than expected.

Lovely cottage stay. The host is very friendly and helpful. She gave advice on local spots to visit and pubs! Cottage was lovely and homely with amazing large hot tub to enjoy each day. WiFi is good and amenities all excellent. Local spots to visit all within half an hours drive (most places were 15 mins) with lots of places to visit with a baby anRead mored dog. Found a great local pub that was dog friendly too. Hide

Beautiful views, hot tub was lovely but as it was a hot day the temp was too hot and had to turn it down. The accommodation was clean and had everything we needed. The owner was lovely allowed us to checkout an hour later and provided a fan to use when we asked for one. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back.

We had a lovely 5 night break. The hot tub was not overlooked and had an amazing view of the valley. The cottage was furnished very well, lots of storage and a lovely bathroom. Extra towels for the hot tub was a nice touch . There is only 1 pub open now in the village which does good beer but no longer serves food. But there is a chip shop. PavemenRead morets all the way to the pub but road is quite busy and good workout the way home as mostly uphill. It s a good base to explore the area. Hide

Lovely property and fantastic hot tub with an amazing view. Very friendly host and prompt text responses. We had a great time. White Hart nearby is worth a visit and its worth downloading the Blakeney fish & chip shop app to order online and collect when ready!
