This was our second visit to Watts Cottage. It was just as cosy and comfortable as the first time and very well equipped. The large conservatory was a lovely, light space during the day, and the living room a cosy refuge with a wood-burner for the colder nights. The stairs are scarily steep, with the bathroom downstairs, but this adds to the chRead morearacter of the cottage, as long as you are careful. The main bedroom is spacious, peaceful and very comfortable. Our dogs loved the garden. Its not often that we find somewhere that is properly dog proofed. The location is great too, with the pub and community shop within walking distance. Both Norwich and the lovely beaches at Great Yarmouth are within easy reach by car. We would definitely recommend Watts Cottage. Hide

A fabulous cottage in a very quiet and relaxing location. The village with its pub and community shop is a gentle 15 minute stroll away. Plenty of walks from the doorstep and the garden is also very secure for the dogs. Off street parking is available at the property. Kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The conservatory is huge and iRead mores a lovely place to sit and relax . We used this all the time. We really enjoyed our stay here and will return. The owners live next door and are on hand if you need them. Overall a beautiful cottage and a one we will definitely return to. Thank you for a lovely week. Hide

Watts Cottage was really warm, clean and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed. The garden was properly enclosed which our two dogs appreciated very much. The location was great, and very quiet, with the village shop and pub a short walk up the road and lots of walks from the door. The co-op in Acle is only a sRead morehort drive away for a larger shop. Lots of things to do nearby- Norwich about half an hour in one direction (well worth a visit) and the lovely beaches about half an hour in the other. Hide
