We had such a lovely week at Glen Cottage. Tina and Paul gave us a great welcome and provided everything we could need. A freshly baked loaf and milk, butter, cookies and tea & coffee much appreciated. The cottage was ideal for us spacewise and location. The bed was one of the most comfy we’ve ever slept in!Looking forward to returning at a later date.

Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Tina and Paul made us very welcome. Quiet location a short drive from Dereham, but well placed to reach a range of places to visit. We had a very relaxing stay and would definitely recommend Glen Cottage.
