Guests say
The Cart Shed is a well-received holiday cottage praised for its cleanliness, tasteful furnishings, and thoughtful welcome hamper. It is well-equipped and comfortable, with a convenient location for exploring North Norfolk. Some minor suggestions for improvement include the addition of a wood burner as advertised, and better clarity on waste disposal.
Guests consistently describe the property as clean, with one specifically noting it as 'lovely and clean' with 'very comfortable beds'. The high level of cleanliness contributes to the overall positive experience.
The location is generally appreciated for its proximity to local attractions and ease of access. However, some guests were surprised by the proximity to a business estate and a main road, which slightly detracted from the expected rural setting.
The property is frequently described as comfortable and spacious, with a warm atmosphere. The provision of a welcome basket adds to the comfort. Suggestions for improvement, such as additional handrails, do not significantly detract from the overall comfort.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and generous bathrooms. However, there are several mentions of missing amenities, such as a wood burning stove, full-length mirror, larger TV, and cooking tools for the BBQ, indicating room for improvement.
The welcome hamper is frequently mentioned and appreciated, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, guests should be aware that such amenities are a bonus and may vary.

They should also make time for the Thursford Collection with its Christmas Spectacular and Santa’s Magical Journey events and the Muckleburgh Collection too.
Add in Amazonia Zoo, Bewildewood and great walks and cycle routes virtually from the doorstep and you will soon see why this part of Norfolk is so popular, and having worked up an appetite with all that sightseeing you will be pleased to discover that these are is enjoying something of a burgeoning foodie scene with lots of great places to eat, many of which serve seasonal local produce.

Lovely accommodation in a great spot for exploring Norfolk. The Cart Shed has a small farm shop on site, which was a bonus. Behind the accommodation there is a small industrial estate and it is located on a main road, it wasn’t a problem but you need be aware of this when booking. Only one small tv in living room, also no wood burner as advertised.
