An idyllic location and an excellent welcome pack! However older people with less strong leg muscles and those less mobile will find the very low and soft settees impossible to get up from. We had to improvise with cushions and pillows, even then we struggled. We would strongly recommend that you consider this fact before booking.

Very comfortable 2 bedroom cottage, very clean and lovely location some walking minutes to the beach and shop. The beds were very comfortable, WiFi perfect, parking in front of the cottage.

Owner mentioned in his description that he hopes central heating is never needed (even in winter?), central heating control with weekly calendar had to be programed. In case all these small problems would be fixed, the cottage would be really perfect. Thank you very much for the welcome pack! Hide

The cottage is in a very good position and has all the equipment you would need. Sadly, we found both sofas extremely low to the ground and very soft.

Lovely location near the cricket ground. Do check if there is anything in the evening there though as it can be noisy. Little maintenance jobs should be easy to fix - for example the bathroom door bolt that fell apart (no door catch!), dripping kitchen tap, no kitchen sink plug.

More crockery needed in the kitchen, to avoid having to put the dishwasher on after every meal. It would have been helpful if the key safe had been looked after. We were unable to access the keys, on ringing the office discovered a second key safe hidden almost on the floor behind a plant pot. On the second day the second key safe failed to operateRead more we had to use tools to open the safe. As no maintenance person appeared my husband oiled the locks with olive oil. We were disappointed not to be able to use the garden as it was untidy and the garden furniture dirty. This is a great pity as over all it is a very pretty cottage with great attention to detail inside and comfortable beds. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review.

This property is in a lovely location, behind the trees surrounding the beautiful cricket ground. It's 10 minutes to Cromer for a more lively day but this is a nice peaceful place to return to at night. The cottage is well appointed and very homely, beds comfortable and bathrooms very nice.

A lovely property, one of a number from a converted stable block set within the village cricket ground. Easy access to Cromer and Sheringham as well as the historic properties of Felbrigg and Blickling (both NT). Walk to Cromer along the huge sandy beach (40 minutes). Classic British summer weather couldn't dampen our enjoyment!
