We have just returned from staying in this lovely cottage. It is beautifully furnished and it was very comfortable and had everything that we wanted. We were blessed with gorgeous weather and were able to make the most of the peaceful, safe (for dogs and children) garden with beautiful views over the countryside. Parking was easy, and space for at least 2 cars. Location was perfect as we were able to get to most places easily, winding our way through other beautiful villages. Docking is well served with a local shop, pubs and even a fish and chip shop! Communication with the host was easy and with a quick response received. We do not hesitate in recommending this cottage for a future stay.

A very nice tidy house with just about everything you could wish for. The garden is great for relaxing and safe for dogs as totally enclosed, a real bonus in the lovely weather.The local shop is very well stocked and there are lots of huge beaches are nearby for relaxing strolls, although we would avoid Brancaster beach as the parking charges at £6.50 for 2 hrs seems out of step with other beaches.We had a lovely stay and can easily see us returning.Parking is ample but can be a little tricky as the accommodation is on a bend and driver's often don't obay the speed limit when passing. Overall a great place to stay
