Angela is the perfect host, very friendly and informative and maintains wonderful accommodation. It is warm, spacious, extremely comfortable, added bonus of onsite parking for small/medium sized car. No complaints about the WiFi, it was fast enough for all 3 of us to use if needed at the same time. Lovely thoughtful gesture of leaving a basketful of goodies for us to share. Would definitely recommend The Old Workshop for value for money with that bit of added extra

We loved our 7 day stay at the Old Workshop. The location is perfect, short walk to the beach, small local supermarket and pubs.Angela has thought about absolutely everything. We have stayed in many cottages and this was one of the best by far. It was very interesting reading about the history of the cottage, the wood work and attention to detail was amazing. Very quirky.The weather was fabulous so we were able to go out every day but if it had rained the cottage has plenty of space to be able to chill and relax. The sun room was very peaceful.

Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Located in the heart of Great Yarmouth with everything you need within a short distance. We had a lovely welcome basket and equipment and treats for our dog. Angela went above and beyond to secure parking for our 2 cars, which were too big to park on the property. Had a lovely stay but had a toddler who really struggled with the stairs.
