This cottage was perfect for us, we have a fear reactive rescue dog and so having various options for walks and being totally secluded was perfect. There is literally no sound, you are surrounded by fields with various coastal walks just over 10 mins drive away. The Spar shop at Docking is perfect too! Richard was a great help, helping us plan walkRead mores and also bringing logs as my husband lives a fire even in June! We will be returning. Hide

We really enjoyed our short but sweet stay at the cottage. Our hosts were very welcoming & were always on hand when needed - just a text message away! Super accommodating allowing us to arrive early & check out later too. The place itself is lovely & peaceful, well decorated & had everything we needed included an enclosed garden for our dog. PerfecRead moret location for exploring Norfolk, we enjoyed Holkham Easter Fair, the various beaches & Erics Pizza! We look forward to coming & staying again :) Hide

Very comfortable and cosy cottage. Peaceful location, not far from the coast. Richard went above and beyond when we needed help with our Land Rover repair. Overall a lovely stay, hope to return.

This cottage was fantastic, a great location as fairly close to some of my favourite places in Norfolk Holkam, Burnham Market and Brancaster. A great cottage for star gazing, there is no light pollution so a few nights we got to sit out and sea the stars really clearly :-) Would highly recommend this property.

This is a lovely cottage in a great location, just 15-20 minutes from several beaches and a great base to explore the Norfolk coast. The entrance/driveway is shared with the owners and their house is next door but they give you privacy and sent some useful recommendations. There's a great secure garden for dogs though the owners have two dogs whichRead more do like to bark when in the garden which is adjacent (like mine is, so no complaints but something for others to be aware of!). Recommended! Hide

The property is deceptively large, well finished and very comfortable. At the end of a track, the accommodation is quiet and ideal for a quiet break, whilst only a few minutes drive from Snettisham, Brancaster etc. there are many pub restaurants nearby and we were lucky in that the owner gave us several pointers as to where to eat. Best to book forRead more meals as the restaurants were very busy. Lovely evenings spent on terrace relaxing and watching the bats. Hide
