Only a minor niggle but as previous people commented, the lights in sitting room are a bit too subdued.

Very good kitchen - white goods all excellent.Masses of equipment all very clean but saucepans not non-stick so everything did stick!! Unfortunately hob is an old electric hob and takes ages to heat up. Toaster which looks big and modern only takes half slices. Every floor board on the first floor creaks alarmingly - no point in trying to tiptoe to the bathroom at dead of night!Apart from the spiders everything else was fine!!

Our host was welcoming but not intruding. We appreciated nice touches like flowers, laid table & milk in the fridge. Interior of the cottage was clean & homely (outside photos don't do it justice). Rooms are a good size. Beds were a little hard/springy. Shower lovely. Kitchen well stocked with good quantities/variety of things (labelling cupboards may help in finding things). As with most holiday accommodation, bring large pans if you are family catering for cooking. Outside had a lawn to sit out on and for children to play. There's a fair number of things you can drive to locally (but not in walking distance): Bure Valley Railway (quaint, though expensive) Felbrigg Hall National Trust (stately home & gardens), Sea Palling beach (sandy, but crowded). Supermarkets, there is a small Morrisons 10 mins away and a larger Tesco 20mins. There's also the whole coast line to explore, the Broads & Norwich. Thank you Lin for letting us stay in your accommodation!
