Well Cottage is a very lovely home, and we had two cracking weeks here. It is very comfortable, and very clean. We were impressed by the level of items in the kitchen. Unlike some cottages we have been to, there were plenty of dishwasher tablets, washing machine tablets & general kitchen supplies - brilliant!!! There is a wonderful high quality wood burner (itâs a Clearview model), in the cosy drawing room. There is also an extremely generous supply of logs, kindling & firelighters. The cottage is very warm, and unlike some cottages we have stayed in, you have total control over the heating system. The underfloor heating in the kitchen, utility room & bathroom is excellent. The shutters everywhere are another lovely and very classy touch! The cottage is set in a quiet spot, and is literally a minute walk from a well-stocked shop. Very handy for your newspaper! Another thing which is lovely, is that you arenât living next to the owner, so you donât feel that you are intruding in any way whilst staying here. Indeed, we didnât even meet the owner, although I did speak to him (Andrew) to let him know that we had arrived and he was a very nice & very helpful. He encouraged us to phone him if there were any problems. The cottage is so well equipped & maintained we didnât have one single issue during our stay! Andrew arranged for the cleaners to change the bedding & towels when we had been there one week, which was great. One other thing worth mentioning is that Sky TV is not only available, but there is also a recordable hard drive! We have never stayed anywhere with this facility! So should you wish to record something whilst you are out, itâll be waiting for you when you get back to the cottage. This is an absolute superb idea and other owners who rent out holiday cottages should take note!!! This is really raising the bar! Well done!!! Finally, the location is absolutely wonderful. There are plenty of super places to visit within an easy drive. Including beautiful beaches, plus lovely towns like Holt. Norwich City is only 45 minutes away. Plus there is a plethora of stately homes nearby (including Sandringham). We have stayed at a lot of cottages over the years, and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Well Cottage for a lovely peaceful stay! Thank you very much Andrew for a perfect stay!

Everything that has been provided is high quality and a lot of thought and consideration has been used to ensure that everything you could need or want is supplied. Set in a quiet friendly village the cottage is well appointed to enjoy the delights of the North Norfolk coast and enjoy a truly relaxing holiday. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who appreciates style, comfort and character in peaceful scenic surroundings.

The weather was poor for our first couple of days so the comfy sofas, wifi and smart TV all performed and kept us happy. The owners have put alot of thought into the property and everything is finished to a high standard. They have even fitted a handrail to the stairs which was not on the web photos which pleased my wife no end. The property has so many original features that make it gorgeous but these are enhanced with all the mod cons to make it really livable. Thank you and we hope to be back in the future.
