Guests say
Colveston Manor is highly praised for its peaceful location, spaciousness, and thoughtful touches like homemade cake. It's ideal for family gatherings and special occasions, offering a comfortable stay with well-equipped facilities and beautiful surroundings. Guests appreciate the responsive hosts and the property's character, including open fires and antique furniture.
Guests consistently describe the property as clean and spotless, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The manor's location is celebrated for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions, though one review mentioned difficulty in finding the property due to obscured signage.
Reviews highlight the property's comfort, mentioning spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and cosy open fires, contributing to a relaxing experience.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and ensuite bathrooms. However, a mention of slippery floors without mats suggests room for improvement in safety features.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in gestures like a welcome card and homemade cake. While these gifts are warmly received, they are a kind gesture and may not be provided every time.

Colveston Manor offers oodles of space inside and out. With its beautifully large, enclosed, south-facing garden the manor enjoys an idyllic position on a working sheep and cattle farm.

From your doorstep there are meadows, fields and woodland for great walks, cycle routes and nature trails.

Here you will find lots of pretty coastal villages and towns with wide sandy or shingle beaches, bustling quays and wild marshes all waiting to be explored, and where you can enjoy delicious food and drink. Wildlife watchers can take their pick. At Colveston, catch the barn owl hunt and the wild deer at dusk; there’s the coastal collection of birding sites at Titchwell or Cley Marshes and inland there are the fabulous gatherings of wetland birds of Welney or the nightingales of nearby Foulden Common.
Year round there are activities and attractions for all ages nearby including Gooderstone Water Gardens, National Trust Oxburgh Hall, Stowe Farm and Neolithic Grimes Graves flint mine in the heart of King’s forest. Take to two wheels on the Norfolk Cycle Way with lots of routes and quiet roads.

We had a really lovely family Christmas at Colveston Manor. It was comfortable and spacious and had all the equipment we needed in the kitchen. There was lots to do in the area for adults and children and so nice to come back to a warm house with wood burning stoves after cold walks.
