Snaptrip says

Vintner's Cottage in Norfolk is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its comfort, cleanliness, and peacefulness. Guests appreciate the well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and secure garden, ideal for pets. The cottage's charm and the owner's responsiveness add to the positive experience, despite some minor issues with TV reception and Wi-Fi connectivity during peak times.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The cottage is consistently described as spotlessly clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating high standards are maintained.

The location in the quiet village of Freethorpe is appreciated for its peace and quiet, with easy access to local amenities. However, some guests noted the benefit of having a car for transportation.

Guests find the beds and living room furniture very comfortable. The presence of a garden room and secure garden for pets also contributes to the comfort. However, taller guests mentioned the need to mind their heads due to low doorways.

Facilities are generally good, with a well-stocked kitchen and comfortable furnishings. However, there are several mentions of issues with the TV and Wi-Fi, and some guests experienced problems with hot water and the log burner.

There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the owners, so it is not possible to score this category.

  • Samantha

    The cottage was cosy but with plenty of room and lots of home comforts. The beds were super clean and very comfortable emma mattresses which makes a difference after being out and walking all day. There was always plenty of hot water and the heating was easy to manage. The garden was excellent for our dog and the garden room an added bonus when it was raining. We played scrabble, pool and watched the sun set on a few occasions. We could not fault our stay and would definitely stay again.

  • Katherine

    The cottage was comfortable and peaceful. The kitchen well stocked with equipment. There is an enclosed rear garden - perfect for my small dog. I have no hesitation in recommending the cottage.

  • Caroline

    We had a great stay thanks and managed well without a car. But it would have been useful to have, in the house, information about the excellent local minibus service that runs round the villages in the area as well as into Acle (for connections to Norwich and London) and Wroxham (for Broads boat tours and to shop in the amazing Roy's).
