Lovely cottage, in a great, quiet location. Nearest village Loddon had everything you need. All the people we met were very friendly.Accommodation is very well positioned to visit most places in Norfolk and Suffolk. The owner who lives near could not be more friendly and helpful.Some feedback...Needs a hairdryer, never occurred to me there would not be one. We were there 10 days so could have done with an iron/ironing board.Normally if you stay anywhere for more than a week you get fresh towels these never materialised.There was no visitors book, or actually any books, games ornaments at all.With no visitors book we couldn't leave our feedback about places we had been, good or bad.Saying that, would highly recommend this cottage.
