The cottage was really well appointed and exactly as described. I don't think we could have been more comfortable. The location is great for long dog walks from the cottage and also easy for access to beaches and local villages. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay with my aged (but still energetic) dog.

We had a wonderful 5 night stay here in this beautiful cottage. As soon as you walk into this cottage, you feel like its giving you a big hug - it was warm and cosy on an chilly autumn evening when we arrived in the dark and we had a fire and a lovely take away sorted, before sinking into the most comfortable beds. Equally with the patio doors and Read morewell sized garden it would be great to visit in the summer. The interior design in this place is stunning - just so tastefully decorated with beautiful things. We had fun exploring lovely places nearby and took a trip to Holkham and possibly the best pub in the UK - the Gunton Arms. We left after 5 nights feeling so relaxed - weve had an awful year with my husband being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in May and this break was just what we needed- thank you - we will definitely return.

What a pretty and cosy cottage The Ostlery is. The beds were extremely comfortable and the cottage was well equipped with lots of extra touches such as the garden games and local produce welcome pack. The garden was a lovely place to dine and relax. We had a great stay and found the cottage an ideal location to explore all the Broads have to offerRead more. Hide

Very comfortable pretty little cottage. Close to beaches and the broads. Garden good for dogs and children as completely enclosed. Swimming pool on site a bonus. Would recommend.

The Ostlery is charming. Very comfortable, spotlessly clean, lovely white linen and towels. The cottage is very well equipped with many facilities. We thoroughly enjoyed our week there.
