Just 3 miles from the coast, you'll be within easy reach of some of Norfolk's most iconic destinations.

The ground floor bathroom offers both a bath and separate shower, providing flexibility after days spent walking the coast or countryside.

Outside, guests can enjoy a large, fully enclosed lawned garden, ideal for children and dogs to play safely while you relax with a drink or dine outdoors. Beyond the garden is a beautiful wildflower meadow (not open to guests) managed to encourage birds, butterflies and owls, adding to the peaceful rural setting.

What a lovely cottage in the most tranquil of locations. We were planning to 'eat out; for our holiday, but loved it so much, we ate in every evening and mostly in the lovely garden.

Lovely cottage. Very quiet and peaceful. Garden lovely in the late afternoon /evening to sit and relax. Our dog explored the garden constantly. Good amount of birds as well! Kitchen reasonably equipped. All was clean and presented well. Bed must be on a squeaky board, getting in and out of bed quite noisy. Good parking.

We recently stayed at this cottage for 2 nights, it was clean, well-presented, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. However, unfortunately, the heating system let the experience down as we were without heating and hot water on the second day.

As a side note, we also felt it would benefit from some board games/books or even a local magazine for tips on what to see and do. However, I would definitely recommend this cottage to a friend, but I would alert them to the heating/hot water situation. Hide

Something has clearly changed, this property is far from 'cosy'! Arrived 9pm to a freezing cold cottage. Located heating controls which had a padlock on! On calling owner we were told we were 'probably suffering as a result of previous abuse' and the heating 'is rationed'! Were told to press the 'extra hour button', limited to 3 times! We did but aRead morefter using the 'allowed' heating it was still freezing. The next morning no heating! Used extra hour 3 times. Warmest seen 16 degrees! AVOID.

Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: We were very sorry to hear of your experience at this cottage. The heating controls are not locked and allow for an increase in temperature whenever required and is not limited to 3 times. Instead, it allows for unlimited blocks of 3 hours in duration. Recent feedback has suggested the cottage is comfortable and well heated but we will seek to clarify the instructions in the cottage.
We are pleased to have been able to provide a refund less the night stayed. Hide
