Kathy's Cottage in King's Lynn, Norfolk, is highly praised for its well-equipped kitchen, cleanliness, and homely comfort. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like flowers and cakes, and the owner's warm welcome. The location is convenient for exploring Norfolk and enjoying local walks, despite some minor comments about the external appearance and a compact garden.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage is consistently described as spotlessly clean, with many guests highlighting its cleanliness. One review mentioned minor cleaning oversights, but this seems to be an exception rather than the rule.
The location is appreciated for its proximity to local shops, good dog walks, and easy access to King's Lynn and Norfolk attractions. Some guests mentioned a less tidy external environment, but this did not detract significantly from their overall experience.
Guests find the cottage comfortable and stylish, with a homely feel. The beds are comfortable, and the cottage is suitable for relaxing stays. One guest had difficulty with the stairs, but overall, comfort levels are high.
The cottage is praised for being well-equipped, particularly the kitchen. Maintenance appears prompt and caring, with a quick response to a light bulb issue. The mention of a downstairs bathroom may indicate some limitations, but overall, facilities meet guests' needs.
Many reviews mention the thoughtful gestures of cakes and flowers, contributing to a warm welcome. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it's important to note that such personal touches, although likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The only thing that needs changing is the size of the fridge/freezer as we found the freezer compartment was tiny especially if a family was staying for a week. But apart from that the cottage had everything you would/could need from a holiday let.

I scrubbed bowl and removed drainer. The edges of the room hadn't been vacuumed. The edges of overflow in bathroom sink black where not cleaned properly. Shame as such silly issues and overall lovely place and owner lovely and helpful. Appreciated the flowers and cakes.
