The cottage is described as cosy and warm, with comfortable beds and a welcoming log burner. However, some guests found the sofa and seating uncomfortable, and taller guests struggled with low doorways and compact spaces.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen, good WiFi, and helpful appliance instructions. Some guests noted issues with the shower, TV, garden maintenance, and occasional broken items, but most found everything needed for a pleasant stay.
Some guests appreciated logs for the fire and helpful guides, but several noted the absence of a welcome pack or basic provisions. While thoughtful touches may be present, they are not guaranteed and cannot be relied upon for every stay.
About this property
A chocolate box end-terrace flint cottage, situated in a peaceful hamlet on the fringes of East Rudham village near Fakenham. Offering cosy and characterful accommodation, this East Rudham cottage is well placed for those wishing to explore the North Norfolk coastline and the pretty market towns of Burnham Market, Holt and King's Lynn. Hidden away towards the end of an unmade road, this East Rudham cottage offers a modern kitchen, as well as a comfortable sitting room with beamed ceilings, woodburner and Suffolk latch doors. Steep, winding cottage stairs in this East Rudham cottage lead up to the two charming bedrooms with meadow and woodland views.
Please note that the twin bedroom and bathroom are both accessed via the main bedroom. Outside this North Norfolk cottage is an enclosed, sheltered gravel garden, just perfect to sit and relax in the sunshine with a morning coffee. A pleasant stroll brings you to the village shop and pub, whilst a few minutes' drive brings you to Fakenham with a good selection of shops, eateries and pubs. Close by are the deer parks of Houghton Hall and Holkham Hall, whilst Sandringham Estate is within easy reach. Visitors will be delighted with a day out to the coast and do be sure to visit Hunstanton and Wells-next-the-Sea.

Access to a hoover could be helpful. The welcome folder with maps of walks could be clearer as it was difficult to find local areas to allow dogs off lead. We had a very comfortable stay thanks. We would recommend this property.

The main bed was very comfortable, the smart TV is easy to use with built in DVD player and a good selection of DVDs, also a good selection of books and games available. The kitchen is fairly well equipped (though note there is no freezer, only the fridge icebox) The enclosed garden is great for dogs and on sunny days is pleasant to sit out in, getting the sun all afternoon. (Though a bit of weeding wouldn't go amiss). The somewhat steep (but quite short) staircase might be a little challenging for some, as might the low doorways. There is a lovely, welcoming pub and cafe within a short walk. Lots of lovely quiet roads for cycling near the cottage (not quite so good for walking). It is an easy drive out to the wonderful beaches of Old Hunstanton or Holkham with no dog restrictions. Also Wells and Hunstanton are good for days out. Or take the steam train from Holt to enjoy a day out in Sheringham.

The location is perfect for exploring the Norfolk coast and surrounding areas. The cottage had everything we needed and the bed is very comfortable, we didnât take full advantage of the kitchen facilities due to the fact that the Crown pub is nearby serving great beer and delicious food. I would highly recommend Broom cottage if you are looking for a comfortable, quiet bolt hole near the seaside.
