    It is very well equipped - hoover is brilliant :) It was very peaceful and is situated on a quiet little lane, with very little traffic, the entrance at the top is quite narrow and easily missed when first arriving in the car, fortunately our car is small so not a problem. We enjoyed being able to walk into town (a change for us as we live in a very rural cottage) and it was a good base for travelling to NT properties and surrounding areas of interest. We tended to use the back door when coming and going, weather was bad during our stay so it was wellies and raincoats - would be useful to have a couple of hooks in the little lobby by the back door for hanging wet coats. Also found the locks on the front door a bit tricky, hence making use of back door. Lovely back garden is a real bonus if bringing a dog, couldn't truly appreciate it due to the rain, but good for dog's early morning ablutions. We didn't really have a problem with parking, managed to get a space just down the lane whenever we returned from a jaunt. We had a lovely relaxing stay.

    However, we found the stairs rather steep so having the bathroom downstairs was more of an issue than we had anticipated. The cottage was disappointingly dark inside due to an overgrown hedge opposite so it did not feel very welcoming. It is on a very narrow lane and we had to move our car during both loading and unloading to allow a vehicle to pass, even though we were in the lane for only a few minutes. Unfortunately the neighbour next door was renovating his property and for much of the weekend he was drilling the adjacent wall. Thankfully the weather was good and we could escape! Although plenty of cleaning products had been left we couldn't find any washing up liquid or dishwasher tabs which seemed unusual.

    We were able to walk to the nearby National Trust property, went on the steam train to Wroxham and had an enjoyable boat trip whilst there. Lots of lovely towns to visit, aircraft museum and horse sanctuary, we ran out of time to go to everything on our list, there was so much choice. The cottage was a good size and well equipped, the lane was quiet and neighbours friendly, we were able to park in the lane for quite a few days and very close by for the rest of the week. The only couple of criticisms we have which would have made our stay even more comfortable would be to provide a shelf next to the bed in the back bedroom for the side light, as I like to read sometimes before going to sleep. Also the shelf would be handy for a glass of water for during the night as had to put it on the floor. Also the lights in the back bedroom are too low, kept hitting our head on them and if the mirror leaning on the drawers was put up on the wall as kept having to duck to see in it (and we are not very tall). Overall we had a great week and would return to Norfolk again in future as lots more we would like to see and do.
