Snaptrip says
Church Cottage is consistently praised for its comfort, well-equipped kitchen, and tranquil location. The garden is a highlight, appreciated for its beauty and wildlife, and is secure for dogs. The property is noted for its peacefulness and is well-situated for exploring Norfolk. While most feedback is positive, there is a mention of a cleanliness issue with a smell in the fridge and some concerns about the upstairs layout and safety.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests generally find the cottage to be clean and comfortable. However, there was a single mention of a smell of sour milk in the fridge area, suggesting a minor oversight in cleaning.
The location is highly praised for its tranquility and easy access to local attractions, including the coast and the Norfolk Broads. The proximity to a village shop and the view of the church are also appreciated.
The cottage is described as cosy and comfortable, with good beds and a relaxing atmosphere. The semi-wild garden adds to the overall comfort by providing a serene outdoor space.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen. However, there are some concerns about the upstairs layout and the safety of a staircase, which affects the score.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no specific mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
About this property
Beautiful thatched cottage within a stones throw of the Norfolk Broads and the sandy beaches of the east coast.
Church Cottage is a picturesque cottage nestling in the quaint village of Catfield which is perfectly placed for a holiday exploring the Norfolk Broads. Families can relax and unwind in this quaint cottage which is full of character and charm. There is a garden for the little ones to run off steam. Conveniently located north of Barton Broad and just south of Hickling Broad there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy all this area has to offer. Take a boat out for a day or two and relax whilst you bask in fresh air and beautiful scenery. Head upstream along the 'Ant' from Ludham and stop off at How Hill to stretch your legs or have a picnic, or cruise a little further to Sutton and visit the Museum of the Broads which is accessible by boat or road. At Hickling there are plenty of opportunities to bird watch or walk. The beautiful beaches of the east coast are only a stones throw away and well worth a visit if you like sandcastle building or splashing about in the waves, Seals are often spotted bobbing about off the coastline in this area.

We found Church Cottage to be a very charming and comfortable cottage., in such a quiet location. The cottage was excellent for visiting the surrounding area and the enclosed garden was perfect for our small dog. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
