The kitchen leads to the cosy living room with comfortable seating area, dining area and patio doors leading to the front courtyard.

The cottage is ideal for exploring Norfolk with it being close to excellent road links to the vibrant City of Norwich, with its rich culture, history and arts, as well as the towns of Wymondham and Dereham with its great shopping and weekly markets.

Lovely peaceful location. The cottage is cosy, well maintained and clean (apart from a big cobweb on the kitchen light fitting!) I had one instance that I wasn't happy about. Two large German Shepherd dogs who were off the lead tried to attack my little dog as I was walking him outside the cottage. Luckily the owner quickly called them back but it could've been a bad situation.

It's peaceful, and very silent at night, so we all slept so well! The accommodation is gorgeous and cosy, and very much value for money. The hosts are so kind and helpful too... I forgot some of my things and they posted them back to me free of charge!

Lovely and clean. Beds were so comfortable wanted to take them home with us lol. It was lovely to find a shower room as well as a bathroom which was a bonus as husband has limited mobility and finds bath hard to use. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need if cooking. As itâs all on one level which appeals to older people and people with limited mobility some grab rails in shower unit would be a good addition with perhaps a shower stool plus not slip shower mat. Would I go again if in area yes definitely
