Snaptrip says
Cherry Tree Cottage in Norfolk receives high praise for its immaculate facilities, beautiful and peaceful location, and spaciousness, accommodating large groups and families with ease. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and the extra touches like fresh flowers and baked goods on arrival. The property's setting amidst trees and fields adds to the charm, although some minor maintenance issues and cleanliness oversights are noted.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the property to be spotless and well-maintained, though there were a few instances where cleanliness did not meet expectations, including reports of rubbish on the floors and uncleaned kitchen appliances. These seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The cottage's location is consistently described as beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by nature, with easy access to local attractions and amenities. The quiet setting with no light pollution is particularly appreciated for stargazing.
The majority of guests found the property very comfortable, with ample space and high-quality furnishings. However, some guests mentioned issues with bed sizes and comfort, as well as heating control, which slightly affected the overall comfort score.
Facilities are generally praised for being modern and well-equipped, but some guests encountered minor issues with appliances and maintenance, such as the AGA cooker and outdoor annex expectations. The presence of an annex and the provision of an open plan living space are highlights.
Guests frequently mention and appreciate the thoughtful touches, such as welcome gifts of bread, milk, and cakes. While these gestures are warmly received, it is noted that such extras are a courtesy and not guaranteed with every stay.

We enjoyed our stay until sunday when we were over come with OIL |FUMES from the boiler outside the property. The fumes started WHITE ended up with very BLACK SMOKE spraying Oil over parked car. Fumes entered house causing people & dog to have headache sore eyes. contacted Lady owner as could not get answer from |Manager she was aware of the smoke from other persons. It would have been nice to have had call from owner to see if all was ok with us. problem was rectified on monday but we travelled home early. Fred Singleton,
