The cottage is really well placed for exploring Norfolk with Norwich 15 minutes away and lots of other attractions on your doorstep - Wroxham, Bewilderwood, Blickling, private swimming pools and more. Its a very clean and very well equipped cottage, we didnt miss anything which meant it was very easy to cook while we were away. Its very spacious anRead mored comfortable too. It has a Nespresso coffee machine that takes Vertuo pods which cant be bought in supermarkets, so just remember to buy some beforehand if you want to use the machine. That said there is also a cafetire so plenty of options! Hide

First issues needing dealing with: Guests have late entry 4pm and early exit 10am allowing up to 6 hours of cleaning time, lot of ceiling cobwebs in bathroom, some in lounge, dining table overhead light covered in cobwebs also bits on kitchen window sill and floor near sink which lifted easily with the hoover. Fairly major damp issue in front room.Read more For 1400 for a week I was expecting more. Good stuff: Cottage has plenty of kitchen equipment for most families, nice welcome pack left. Good area to get to many local attractions, the broads, the coast, if children present plenty for them to do within 30-40 mins away. Little tip don't visit Bewilderwood if any chance of rain, its expensive to get in anyway and light rain had them shutting most of the slides down. Hide

This is a lovely, spacious and comfortable house. The owner has gone to great lengths to decorate and furnish it beautifully. We very much enjoyed our stay here. Good central location for visiting different parts of Norfolk and only a 15 minute drive from Norwich.
