A beautiful studio, true to the photos. Such a peaceful quiet location, surrounded by sugar beat. The owners are super friendly and leave you to enjoy your time here. They have 2 lovely donkeys and some chickens which we loved to feed ( with Pats approval) The bed was super comfy, good water pressure, plenty of hot water. There is ample bike stRead moreorage for bikes and the area feels totally safe. We biked to Beccles and Loddon and loved our days out. You will require transport to get here and to get about with as you are quite far from shops and restaurants. But that's what makes it so special. Thanks Pat and Brian for everything. Awww forgot to mention the Scones that were waiting for us on arrival were absolutely the best ever. Hide

It clearly says on the website small dogs allowed. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and had everything I required. The owners were lovely. Unfortunately, my holiday was spoilt by a large dog turning up who scared my dog. This wasnt the fault of the owner. Surely HolidayCottages.co.uk could create a filter for future bookings.

Studio was very clean and well-equipped for self-catering. The beds were very comfortable (on the firm side, which we like). The property is surrounded by fields and the environment was so peaceful--perfect for R&R. While off the beaten path, the location is really just a short drive to main roads in all directions. We really enjoyed feeding applesRead more and carrots to Spice and Elderflower, two cheeky donkeys living in a paddock on the property. Had a couple of lovely meals at The Cock in Cantley (5 mins away). Also enjoyed fishing at Taswood Fisheries about 20 mins away--6+ lakes, all very well maintained and all facilities you might need. On Pat's recommendation we booked the Southern Comfort riverboat tour of the Broads from Horning which was well worth it and very informative. If you just want to stay put, hikes and bike rides are right outside the door. Highly recommend the property and the owners. Hide
