Snaptrip says
Stable Cottage in Norfolk is a charming and well-equipped holiday let, praised for its beautiful countryside setting and cosy atmosphere. Guests enjoyed the spacious kitchen, the warm welcome from the owner, and the property's dog-friendly nature. The cottage's rural location offers peace and quiet, with country walks and beaches within driving distance. Some guests mentioned a need for updates and maintenance, particularly in the bathroom, and noted issues with steep stairs and flies.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage generally received positive remarks on cleanliness, with guests finding it clean upon arrival. However, some noted the presence of cobwebs and dust in certain areas, and issues with flies, which suggests room for improvement in this aspect.
The location is highly appreciated for its tranquillity and proximity to country walks and beaches, despite being remote and requiring some driving to reach local attractions. The peaceful rural setting was a highlight for many guests.
Guests found the cottage cosy and the main living areas comfortable. However, concerns were raised about steep stairs, headroom issues, and the suitability of the upstairs bedrooms for adults and infants, which affected the comfort score.
The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and socialising areas, were praised. Nonetheless, guests suggested updates to the bathroom and additional amenities like blinds and fly screens. The mention of steep stairs and the need for better lighting also influenced the score.
While guests mentioned thoughtful touches like fresh eggs and a warm welcome, there were no consistent references to gifts or special amenities that would guarantee a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

In the heart of Norfolk the thriving village of Necton is situated between the market towns of Swaffham and Dereham. This lovely location, dominated by its impressive Norman church boasting a beautiful carved oak communion table dating back to 1086 and a wonderful Jacobean pulpit, is home to a welcoming pub with restaurant, a village store with butchers and a post office. The fine Georgian house of Bradenham Hall is close by and with over 27 acres of beautiful gardens and a spectacular arboretum - apparently visited by the famous Lord Nelson â is well worth a visit, as is the infamousPeddars Way. The Norfolk Coastal Path is a 93 mile trail through the picturesque Norfolk countryside - great for walking, cycling and horse riding.

The kitchen was well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. Although tucked away, the cottage was a great base to explore the area from, and after slightly chilly days out, it was warm and cosy.

Thank you for a fantastic stay - thoroughly clever use of the available space Only thing to be aware of is that there appears to be a wasp nest above the porch, we noticed them entering in the corner between the cottage garden and the first kitchen window :)
