The cottage was gorgeous and in such a nice spot. It was easy for trips o Norwich, the Broads and the North Norfolk Coast. It had everything you need, came with a great welcome pack and had comfy beds - really pleased we found it.

Lovely thatched cottage situated within walking distance of woodland and many dog walks. We saw and heard lots of wildlife from the cottage and garden.

Holly Cottage was so relaxing. Sitting in the back garden was so quiet and you just so relaxed and happy. Listening to the birds chatting and flying around was fabulous.

Can't not recommend a stay at Holly Cottage enough! So peaceful, so snug and warm with everything you need. The beds were the ridiculously comfy - so much so I had an afternoon nap on the first day! Easy to use fireplace with kindling and logs available added a lovely hyggeligt ambience. The shower was huge and a joy to use. Great for the dog whoRead more was able to sniff around the secure garden. The location is superb - secluded enough to enjoy the quiet and bird song but all of 20 mins easy drive to Norwich City and pootle along the Great Yarmouth (the seaside town of your 90s childhood!) Perfect space for younger children as we left our eldest with family otherwise they would have been in each others faces too much. Hide

The cottage was in a lovely rural village, but only a short drive from Norwich. There were woods and public footpaths nearby; great for walking dog. There is a large and secluded garden with comfortable garden furniture. The house was thoughtfully decorated and well equipped. The kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom were all clean; unfortunately the sittRead moreing room was not. There was filthy black dirt and fluff on the floor in all corners, and cobwebs behind the furniture. It looked as if there had been a quick dust and hoover of the central rug, but the rest of the room had not been cleaned for a considerable time. There was a smell from the mop and pail in the cupboard in the sitting room. We were there for two weeks; in other self catering cottages a change of bedding and linen is usually provided at the end of the first week. This did not happen. There were spare towels, but no spare bed linen. Following our holiday, I contacted Original Cottages on 17th September - I noted the positive aspects of the house as well as the negative. After sending a reminder on 1st October, I finally received an acknowledgement and belated apology on 3rd October, with no note of what action might be taken. I had not intended to include the negative aspects of the house in my review, as, on balance the house had more positive aspects, but given the poor and belated response from this company, I have written a full review.
