Miss Laska
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming cottage. It was immaculately clean, beautifully maintained, and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The thoughtful touches, such as the welcome gifts from the host, made our stay even more memorable. The peaceful rural setting was perfect for a relaxing getaway with our family. We truly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a cozy, comfortable, and well-cared-for place to stay. Thank you for making our holiday so special!

We had a lovely stay at The Cart Shed. Quiet, relaxing and peaceful location Very well equipped with everything you'd need. Spotlessly clean, great quality bedding and towels. Quality fixtures and fittings Fabulous shower with lots of pressure wish we could of taken it home. Host was excellent, a friendly welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Delicious welcome basket of goodies, milk and juice in the fridge. Flowers on the table, we couldn't have felt anymore welcome. If you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing bolthole or a base to go out and about to explore Norfolk this is the place for you. I cannot recommend it highly enough
