We will be back for sure. Everything about this break was spot on. A door between the living room and kitchen would be good, though, to make it that much cosier in colder weather.

Beds were super and bath and shower perfect. Everything you needed in the kitchen and more. Great neighbour next door who was very kind and helpful. The best welcome pack that we've had in any rental property, for us and for our dog. Much appreciated. The only slight negative was the parking space to the front on the house, which was a bit tricky with a large car, however the kindly neighbour allowed us to park on her driveway. Wouldn't put us off returning and wouldn't hesitate to book again when in the area.

Very conveniently located for family in Watton. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Road a little busy at times and traffic noise could be heard from the front bedroom when the windows were open but fine when closed. Also sofa and chairs in front room were a little low for me because I have arthritis in my knees etc. I managed ok though and it wouldn't put me off staying again. Owner was lovely and very communicative. Neighbour was lovely too! All in all a wonderful stay and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again!
