Mrs H
The cottage is charming, obviously quite old but decorated very well in a modern style, easy access to the local beaches, supermarket 5 mins away and local takeaways if you don't want to cook. The rooms are spacious and comfortable; the kitchen has everything you need including a good sized table to eat at if you don't want to use the dining room. The garden room and patio at the back get the morning sun and soon warm up, ideal for your morning coffee. Upstairs the master bedroom is amazing with a huge en-suite with a fantastic bath in the corner. Lots of storage in all the bedrooms. The back garden is quite steep and accessed by steps with a gate at the top. There is a fence at the edge of the grass to avoid tumbling down onto the patio. We had a dog with us but restricted her to the front garden which has only a gentle slope, as we had a lot of rain, we felt this would make the back garden too slippery (we went in October). We booked the whole house so my husband could sleep in the conservatory, he would not have managed the steep narrow 'Norfolk' stairs! The only down side was a team of gardeners/maintenance men who turned up without any notice the day before we went home, which meant we couldn't use any of the outside space, they also painted the back gate which was then blocked off, so no access to the back garden. This would not be a regular occurrence, we just picked the wrong week to go. Overall I would give it five stars and certainly return there in the future.

Cheney Hollow is a large well-equipped cottage, comfortable, clean and quiet. The large lawned garden is a particularly good safe space for dogs and children. A great spot for local beaches, walks in Sandringham Forest and shops in Hunstanton.
