Just perfect! The owners Natalie and Darren are so lovely and very welcoming, absolutely nothing was too much trouble. The house is just amazing, everything you need to be away from especially when you love cooking and need all the things you would have at home. Beautiful garden, and the hot tub is just amazing. Great location, so peaceful. Lovely welcome pack, the processo was the best we've ever had, nice touch. Natalie got in touch a couple of days before with key code and was absolutely welcoming when i said i had a few friends coming for one night for my 50th, also 50th banner left for me.Would 100% recommend this place and will definately return.Thank you again Natalie and Darren for sharing your beautiful holiday home, we wish you all the success with your new adventure. **

We had a fantastic week exploring all that Norfolk has to offer. The cottage itself was just perfect; a great location, beautifully presented and with many thoughtful touches included. Natalie and Darren were amazing hosts and made us feel very welcome. We thoroughly recommend this property and would definitely return. We would also highly recommend the Barking Buck within the village for a great place to eat.

The owners, Natalie & Darren contacted us a few days before our stay to introduce themselves and sent us clear directions to the property. We had the pleasure of meeting them when we arrived and they are such a lovely couple. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble.From the time you pull into this little village you can tell it has a beautifully relaxed feel to it. With stunning fields and wildlife right on the doorstep.On entry to the cottage, you can see a lot of thought has gone into the decor. It is simply stunning, with attention to detail that has a luxury feel throughout the property.Everywhere was exceptionally clean and it smelt beautiful due to a candle being lit to welcome us.Also in the kitchen was a welcome card, bottle of Prosecco, luxury mince pies and chocolates with a pack of Christmas napkins which we thought was a lovely touch.The kitchen has every piece of cookware, utensil, gadget and appliance you could ever need. Between the kitchen and dining room off it, there was more than enough cupboard/drawer storage. The hallway had a unit with a multi charger for phones, tablets or any other chargeable gadgets. Underneath was a dog feeder/water bowl together with 2 dog mattresses and blankets. The downstairs bathroom has a bath & shower and is decorated beautifully.The lounge is very spacious with 2 large sofas. Again, these are luxurious with feather cushions that you melt into! There was a beautiful traditionally decorated Christmas tree which gave the room an extra cosy feel. On the opposite side of the room there is the main dining table where Christmas crackers & various party items had been put out. Now for our favourite room, the conservatory. This was as big as the lounge and was stunning. There are enough sofas, seats for everyone with an added extra of a chaise longue. In the corner is a pellet burner which is so easy to use and so cosy to watch while looking out at the gorgeous views, watching the sun set. The garden is large and our dogs loved a good run around to let off some steam.The hot tub was a lovely extra and the owners had even put a basket by the back door with 4 really good quality bath towels for us to use.Both bedrooms are decorated with superb taste. There is plenty of storage and the beds are really comfortable with extra throws on top should you need them. They are equally as big as each other, although one is an en-suite. The landing has an area with a table and chair in the middle. This has a mirror and hairdryer.Over all we cannot find any fault with this property, it really does have everything.
