"A weird location, being in a business park. Not an obvious choice of location for a holiday let. Noise from lorries going in and out, and occasionally bothered by lorry drivers at the door, thinking we were somehow relevant to them! The house would benefit from:1 better information in the booklet about nearby attractions/ facilities (e.g. nearest supermarket, best local pubs, days out, etc)2 better kitchen layout - it is not a cook's kitchen - it is well served for glasses and crockery and cutlery but I strongly suggest you get some more stuff e.g. measuring jug, scales, baking trays (we have left you a potato peeler!) and cake tin, serving spoons, salad servers3 being able to convert the double beds into singles to allow more flexibility4 working air con on the ground floor - we could not get it to work in the corridor with the three rooms coming off5 a hot tub that isn't over 40 degrees centigrade! --- it was far too hot --- and it needs filling with more water6 the games room is great but we couldn't get the space invaders or the fruit machine to work - maybe time to upgrade/ replace?7 more keys/ fobs. Two is not enough for a house that sleeps 14 in 7 different double rooms. Or give guests the combination code so they can key it into the gate and get through. It was such a pain having only two between us. On the plus side, the house was spotlessly clean and we were really impressed by Eva and Paul in particular, who responded to our issues very promptly. The dishwasher gave out while we were there and they dealt with it really well. Great towels and linen.Thanks also for the goodie basket."

"This was perfect for what we needed. We had 4 adults and 6 kids ranging from 1-6 and we stayed during Feb half term. i was a little worried that the cottage may be a little small for 6 active kids but its bigger than it looks on the pictures and the sofas are obviously new which was nice. the table may be a little bit of a squash for 8 adults but was fine for us. There was a slight issue when we arrived but this was quickly and effectively sorted out by the owners. It was nice to have the option to use facilities of the park although we ended up not using them that much. The baby pool was lovely and warm. The soft play was good for a wet morning and although we only went to the evening entertainment once, this was good and the kids were well entertained. There was heaps to to close by to the park. Fistral beach worth a visit and Watergate Bay is beautiful. There is a good little Pirate Experience in Newquay which the kids really enjoyed. We also visited the Eden Project for the first time which the kids loved...make sure you get a slot in the Forest School, this was great. We went to the Maritime Museum. Every school holiday on a Thursday they do Thorsday where they have Viking Events. They got the kids involved which was great. You can come and go as you please once you have a ticket so we nipped out for take out Rick Stien fish and chips which was just outside. Yummy! Your ticket for this and the Eden Project entitles you for free entry for a year. I would definitely recommend this accommodation. It was great for us but I can imagine it would get very busy in the summer."

"This is a beautifully decorated, new cottage that has gorgeous furniture and *almost* everything you could want for a break away in the countryside. Unfortunately the hot tub wasn't hot, and we could find no instructions on how to increase the temperature (and we did ask the owner as well but received no response), so we weren't really able to use it even though we had specifically chosen the property because of that feature. The sauna again had no real instructions for use but we managed to figure it out and warm it up eventually. This too was a little lacklustre, although it is a lovely and unique feature. The house itself has plenty of room and is so well equipped except for a couple of things (no matches - to light the cosy woodburning fire - and no dishwasher tablets for the dishwasher). We would have expected those items to be there, however there was a lovely welcome basket full of goodies which was so nice to receive!!The surrounding area is stunning and right on your doorstep for walks and exploring. It really feels you're in the middle of nowhere, but it's also easy to get to from Norwich station. Some clearer walking routes and maps would be useful in the Information Book, and also some better directions on how to get to the cottage itself as it's quite difficult to find (particularly in the dark!).Overall we really enjoyed our stay and this is a stunning property in a great location; there are just a few elements that could be easily improved to give it the real wow factor."

"Great location, felt so rural, with Norwich city just 15 mins away! The cottage comfortably housed 8 of us and was perfect for our birthday celebrations. We all commented on the lovely comfortable beds! However, there were some negatives that could so easily be rectified and make this cottage into such a beautiful and perfect place to stay. For us the house wasn’t well equipped enough for 8 (ie only 4 bowls, 4 small glasses, 2 tea towels etc). We had to buy a bread knife as there wasn’t one. The bbq was a great addition but was filthy and no tools to clean it and our biggest negative was the most uncomfortable corner sofa in the lounge... The hot tub and sauna was a brilliant addition and would have been perfect had the tub have been warm. We contacted the owners who ordered a new element and quickly fitted it but it was a shame it wasn’t working.If you have the choice, choose the cottage next door as the hot tub is to the side of the house rather than the front... just felt a bit more secluded."

"A really lovely lodge. Absolutely spotless. Could have eaten off the floor. The bedding was also lovely - however all of us struggled with the thinness of the mattresses. The shower in the main bathroom is a total nightmare as the water pressure is so strong the shower head roams around by itself. The water was absolutely everywhere on more than one occasion. The hot tub was a dream and we spent many hours in the there. But that wooden deck is a so so slippery (there are warning signs around) but we all really struggled with how slippy it was. The heating was also really difficult to manage and seemed to have a mind of its own. You are really out of the way staying here - we definitely under estimated how remote it was. There is no phone signal at all in the lodge, however there is wifi available. Kitchen had everything you could think of and more. Overall we were very happy with our holiday and would recommend to others."
