Thyme Cottage offers a peaceful and comfortable base for exploring the Great Yarmouth area, with guests appreciating its quiet setting, helpful owners, and well-equipped accommodation. The property is praised for its cleanliness and convenient location near local amenities and attractions. Some guests noted minor maintenance issues, such as outdoor tidiness and parking arrangements, and suggested improvements to facilities. Occasional thoughtful touches, like a welcome basket, have been mentioned, though these are not guaranteed. Overall, the cottage provides a pleasant stay with a few areas for enhancement.
Most guests found the cottage clean and tidy, though some mentioned cobwebs, grubby walls, and areas needing a deeper clean, particularly the floors and shower.
The location is highly regarded, with easy access to seaside attractions, Norwich, and local shops and pubs within walking distance.
Guests generally found the accommodation comfortable, especially the beds. However, there were comments about an uncomfortable settee and a desire for more storage in the bedroom.
Facilities are appreciated, including washing machines and parking, but some guests noted issues with parking allocation, slow WiFi, and a lack of certain kitchen items and information leaflets.
A welcome basket was mentioned by one guest, adding a thoughtful touch, but as this is not consistently referenced, it cannot be guaranteed for all stays.

Tucked away down a country lane in the heart of Broadland, and enjoying glorious views across open fields, a range of handsome barns has been tastefully converted to create the attractive cluster of cottages we offer here. Some nestle under their traditional Norfolk thatch, all are very comfortably appointed and each enjoys its own individual patio. From the cottages, a gentle and tranquil rural landscape dotted with ancient churches, wind pumps and nature reserves, among a myriad other delights all under vast, arching East Anglian skies, offers a wealth of opportunity for enjoying walking, cycling and bird watching. Nearby How Hill nature reserve, with its marsh meadows, dykes, woodland and open water, is well worth exploring and the wider surrounding area supports a host of attractions. Riverside pubs and cafés are plentiful and a number of Broadland centres offer bike hire or canoe hire (possibly the most delightful way to discover the lovely reed lined waterways and their abundant wildlife) and visitors can also hire boats at nearby Potter Heigham, 4 miles, or take a pleasure cruise from bustling Wroxham – the capital of the Broads and home to the ‘world’s largest village store’ as well as the train station for the Bure Valley narrow gauge steam railway. Close by, Bewilderwood, a magical tree top park, promises children a day to remember, and lovely dune backed sandy beaches are a short drive – Sea Palling lies just 6 miles away. For lively family fun, visitors need look no further than Great Yarmouth and its famous pleasure beach, or Pleasurewood Hills theme park, whilst Cromer also offers traditional seaside entertainments including a renowned end of pier show. Bygone museums, craft centres and Blickling Hall (National Trust) are all within an easy drive, as is the medieval city of Norwich with its magnificent cathedral, castle, galleries, museums, cinemas, theatres and excellent shopping. A little further afield on the north Norfolk coast, seal watching boat trips can be found at picturesque fishing villages, many of which also boast pubs and restaurants serving superb, locally caught seafood. Coarse fishing is available on the lake opposite the properties just 400 yards away, and the pretty village of Ludham, 1 mile, boasts two pubs and a good range of shops.. All properties: Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot and highchair. Patio with garden furniture. Fishing on-site, 400 yards. Parking. No smoking.

Lovely accommodation, comfortable bed and sofa. Clean cottage, a few cob webs but it's to be expected in autumn, especially in such a rural place.

Our fourth stay and our last based on this year. The parking is abused and although there are two car parks, there should be parking spaces allocated to each dwelling. Several times we returned and what would normally be parking for five or six cars taken by just three cars not properly parked and others parked blocking the path to others parts of the site . Also one of the female staff stated it was far worse the previous wee, but nothing done to rectify this problem. So we had to leave early losing what we had paid for and will not be risking it happening again. I bet we do not get a refund??

Comfortable accommodation in a good location. Very clean and well equipped. We would have liked leaflets with information about places to visit nearby. The WiFi was very slow.
