    Nothing not to like. The hosts were very accommodating despite our late arrival.

    Very well equipped studio, well thought out. Welcoming, with homemade bread and jam, eggs, and ground coffee, as well as the usual tea coffee milk sugar. Comfortable and cosy, with an outdoor seating area away from the other accommodation, opening onto a large grassy area with a pretty pond, which has a fountain and moorhen chicks.

    The bedroom, house and outside garden were spotless and very well decorated. The location is secluded and quiet. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was fantastic.

    A night light for the bathroom please.

    It was fitted out to a high standard. It felt as if the owners had done it to a standard that they would be happy to stay in. The kitchenette was better supplied than we could have expected - e.g. four of everything even though only a room for two. And provisions for breakfast which was a surprise, including home made jam.

    Tucked away on the broads but easy to access the coast and Norwich. Our hosts were so welcoming and the little touches of homemade bread and jam and eggs were delightfully comforting. Touches like this made all the difference when we arrived on a rainy weekend.

    A beautiful idyllic barn/accommodations set in beautiful gardens, well kept and hosted by Jill and Phil. We enjoyed our stay in the family room, which included a king size bed and sofa bed to sleep my two younger children. Daily delicious home cooked breakfasts included in the family room.

    The location is excellent for easy access to so much of Norfilk, whilst the accommodation itself is set in a wonderfully tranquil spot. The cottage is clean, well-sized, gardens immaculate, and thr hot tub was a great place to unwind in the evenings. We couldn't have been made to feel more welcome on arrival too, which was great.

    Nothing. The hosts Jill and Phil, have thought of everything!

    When we arrived we were shown to “The Nook”. My initial thought was it’s very small but it turns out that it really wasn’t. There was the most comfortable double bed facing a huge window looking out into the beautiful gardens. With a bird feeder hanging in it, so you could lie in bed watching the birds…There was a one way film on the windows so your privacy isn’t compromised. A fully functioning kitchenette was tucked away out of immediate sight with a welcome basket of fresh eggs, homemade seed bread, jam, biscuits and chocolate. There was milk and butter in the fridge too… it was perfect… Bathroom was a lovely hot shower and heated towel rail. All sparkling clean… Breakfast was amazing. Bacon, eggs, beans and tomatoes with toast and butter. Yogurt and fruit. Croissant and jam… Tea or coffee and juice. If you leave the table hungry, that’s your own fault.

    There was nothing to dislike at all. Amazing place to stay

    Everything was amazing. Fabulous host's, very kind and welcoming. Lovely accomodation, very cosy&warm, plenty of blankets& heaters supplied if needed but we didn't need all the heating on as it was perfect. Beautiful grounds. My husband had booked us a two night break away and we wished we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended. It was just what we needed. Many thanks to Jill and Phil, wonderful hosts and we look forward to staying again. Just perfect, we couldn't have asked for more. Great value for money and we really appreciated all the lovely, little touches, tasty home-made bread&Jam, chocolate, biscuits and more. Many, many thanks 😁

    The room was not soundproof, I could hear the hosts watching the TV downstairs. It took me a while to get the shower working, it was difficult to set the water at the right temperature.

    Location was excellent and the house was rustic. Excellent and helpful hosts. Great breakfast
