Highlight for us was SandrRead moreingham House and garden seen on a beautiful sunny day. Thank you Andrea and Terry, we can thoroughly recommend your lovely cottage! Hide

We have just returned from a lovely stay at Avocet, the cottage was so clean and really well equipped. Incredibly dog friendly, the garden was so secure we didnt have to worry about the dogs wondering in and out as they liked. Really quiet and the garden patio is a real sun trap which was great as we had some very warm weather to enjoy sitting out Read morein. Cottage is well placed for exploring sandringham which you can easily walk to in around 15 mins and the Norfolk Coast. We will definitely return next time we are visiting the area. Hide

A fabulous cottage, the best equipped weve stayed in and weve stay in lots of cottages. Peaceful garden with patio to sit and have a drink. Our two dogs were well catered for, water bowls, dog towels and fleeces, secure escape proof garden and walks across fields really close, walk to the pub across the cricket pitch was a great way to end the day.Read more Amazing beaches are close by and loads are dog friendly. The cottage is on a really quiet road, very little traffic, you could hear a pin drop at night, so quiet. Defo recommend and would love to stay again as still have lots to explore. Hide

The provision of furniture covers was excellent, I always take a stack of covers to safeguard the furniture from dogs hairs, and this is the only property which has done this. Liked the lovely biscuits, coffee, tea, sugar etc, even Camomile. Sat watching the family of Blackbirds, through the kitchen windows!

This cottage is the best equipped holiday home I have used. The cottage is very comfortable and the area is quiet, Secure enclosed garden so completely safe for dogs. The owner is very friendly and is only a phone call away for help and advice. Shops and pub just a short walk away. A definite must to come back too.
