Lovely cottage that is home from home that has everything you can think of, master bedroom also has loads of storage. The garden is superb, our spaniel loved running around it with all the different smells. The cottage is in the perfect location for exploring North Norfolk coastline, nature reserves, towns & villages. Local general store/post officRead moree very good & friendly. Everything else you can get in Fakenham town within a 10 minute drive. Hide

Cottage and grounds are stunning, but it does need some t l c as sofa and beds are uncomfortable, stained pillows, sheets did not fit on bed, and be very careful as stairs are very very steep.

Comfortable cottage with the river at the back of the garden. The website info said pub nearby but when we went to the pub it was closed. We were then told by locals that it had been mostly closed for the last couple of years! It also says in the cottage information book about the pub and that it serves food. This had a very negative effect on our Read moreholiday as I like to have a pub in the village I stay to avoid taking the car. It also mentions a butcher but locals say that's been closed for years!

We loved the cottage, itts not a show home, it's lived in condition was more than acceptable to us. Well equipped in all areas, the garden is fantastic, we had our canoe with us and took advantage of the river location. I would cut back the undergrowth on both banks along the garden stretch and make a real feature of the river.

We really enjoyed a spring holiday in River Cottage. Lots of wildlife , friendly swans, barn owl, frogs and numerous birds. Beware if you have a dog that chases - as deers pass through. Well equipped and Wi Fi a welcome addition.

Comfortable and homely. Well equipped with all you need. Full of old world charm. Good garden for wildlife and for our dog to run around and enjoy. We had a great holiday even though the weather wasn't as kind as it could have been.

Comfy cottage with very challenging almost vertical stairs . Gardens are amazing on the river but access can be stopped if you have small children as no life saving equipment by the river . We were 3 adults so really enjoyed the garden. All necessary equipment is provided and we had an enjoyable week
