The Firs had everything we needed for a family reunion and a party in Norwich. Excellent location, easy access to the City and the coast or Broads. A spacious, clean and well equipped holiday let. Would highly recommend The Lodge at Salhouse and Jasons fish and chips in Rackheath.

The property was quirky, comfortable, spacious, well equipped, clean and generally well presented although the untidy state of the gardens created an unloved vibe. The situation of the second shower room (as far as possible from the bedrooms) is a major inconvenience. The kitchen equipment was modern and good quality although quite complicated toRead more operate and required much study of the manufacturers instruction manuals provided. Despite it's good points Hide

The cottage is really well placed for exploring Norfolk with Norwich 15 minutes away and lots of other attractions on your doorstep - Wroxham, Bewilderwood, Blickling, private swimming pools and more. Its a very clean and very well equipped cottage, we didnt miss anything which meant it was very easy to cook while we were away. Its very spacious anRead mored comfortable too. It has a Nespresso coffee machine that takes Vertuo pods which cant be bought in supermarkets, so just remember to buy some beforehand if you want to use the machine. That said there is also a cafetire so plenty of options! Hide
