We had an absolutely lovely stay with our baby and dog. There was a baby chair and cot provided and we had everything we needed for our stay. There was a cottage could do with a lick of paint as there were a few signs of wear but it was simple and clean and had everything we needed. A tea and coffee pack was kindly provided on arrival with a few NoRead morerfolk gifts too which was a lovely touch. It is a bit smaller than the photos make out but was a good size for our small family. It would be quite a squeeze with 4 adults and 2 children (to fill the bedrooms). A shame there was no BBQ but we understood it may be because were very close to neighbours with a small patio garden and the smoke could be a problem there. Stiffkey stores is a short walk down the road for delicious coffee and cake and the village pub also provided great food. Only 10-15 mins from Wells on the sea / Blakeney which was perfect with our baby for a few beach days/ crabbing! Wed like to also try the light railway down the road when our baby is older so thats close for children too. Overall wed give it a 4/5. Thanks so much! Hide

Rose Cottage is in a wonderful location, especially for walkers and birdwatchers. We agree with previous reviews that the sofas are extremely uncomfortable and need replacing. Otherwise we had a wonderful stay in this delightful part of Norfolk.

A lovely well equipped cottage, ideally located for walking on the Norfolk coastal path. We had a problem with the heating that was rectified on the second day. As a previous visitor noted, the sofas aren't the most comfortable, but that didn't spoil our stay.

The cottage is fairly well presented but there was a definite lack of detail with regard to cleaning. The floors needed a more thorough clean with the vacuum cleaner . Lots of bits left around the bed and skirting boards, under beds & cupboards. We had to use all three bedrooms as our friends could not negotiate getting in and out of bed in the nigRead moreht in the 2nd bedroom without great difficulty for the person on the wall side. The two sofas in the lounge are becoming rather uncomfortable. Hide

An ideallly situated holiday let - great for exploring the surrounding area. We visited in September and enjoyed a comfortable stay in this spacious and well equipped cottage. The outside area to the rear is completely dog-secure and gave us the opportunity to relax and dine al-fresco with our whippet. We would definitely visit again.

Lovely cottage in the beautiful location of Stiffkey. Only a 10 minute walk to the coastal marshes. Lovely footpaths through the fields. 5 minutes walk to the local pub and 10 mins to the local store selling bakery items and coffee. The cottage is comfortable and clean with a nice patio area.

Nice, comfortable cottage with a welcome pack. Beware if you're expecting a half mile walk to the beach - that only gets you to the edge of the Saltmarsh, which is an amazing place, but if you had children, it is considerably further to the beach. Beautiful part of the country - well worth a visit.
