Snaptrip says
Rose Cottage in Norfolk receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches, including a welcome pack. The enclosed garden is a hit with dog owners, and the quiet location is appreciated. The cottage is well-equipped, and the host, Sally, is commended for her hospitality. While there are minor concerns about space and furniture, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests planning to return.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently mention that Rose Cottage is spotlessly clean, contributing to a welcoming and comfortable stay. The high level of cleanliness is a recurring theme in the reviews.
The cottage's location in a quiet village is ideal for a peaceful retreat, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. The quiet road and proximity to walks and a pub are noted advantages.
Comfort is highlighted, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable. The presence of a downstairs bedroom is beneficial for those with mobility issues, although there are mixed opinions on mattress firmness.
The cottage is well-equipped with a log burner, kitchen appliances, and a secure garden. Some guests mention a lack of cupboard space and freezer size, but overall, the facilities meet the needs of most visitors.
The thoughtful welcome pack, including treats for both guests and dogs, is frequently appreciated, though it is politely noted that such gifts, while common, are not guaranteed with every stay.
