A great location and generally very acceptable. Bed linen and towels provided and of good quality. A set of sharp knives and a cork screw would be useful. Warm and comfortable, ideal for bird watching and walking.

An excellent location especially for those with a dog. Very peaceful and a beautiful enclosed rear garden. No hot water in bathroom tap but we just used the bath taps. Upstairs loo didn't flush.

A quiet cottage tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Pleasantly comfortable and appointed. Didn't wish for anything.

We found the cottage comfortable and ideal for our needs. It was generally well equipped, although we did feel that the kitchen could do with some updating. It is in an excellent location, particularly if your interest is birdwatching.

Lovely cottage with very pretty gardens front and back. The outward facing bedrooms both had lovely views. One of the marshes and a bit of the sea and the back garden and fields. The kids enjoyed playing in the front garden. The kitchen was sufficient with a good fridge freezer and most of the essentials provided, including dishwasher.

Stayed for a week august 2022. Property description and photos very accurate. Quiet country Lane, 3 great pubs in walking distance and a deli, which is great for breakfast or brunch. Really close to Norfolk coastal path- can double back on the coastal hopper. Brancaster, Holme, Burnham ,Wells, Blakeney all worth a visit. Stairs are steep and gardenRead more is shared- furniture and beds very comfortable. Reviews saying it is dated are unfair imho. Easy parking. Would recommend Hide

Great location, peaceful, with easy access to the local saltmarsh, Holme Dunes nature reserve and Thornham beach. We really enjoyed the apple juice in the welcome pack! Please try out the Thornham circular walk it's well worth it!! The cottage stayed really cool during the 2 hottest days on record!! Some attention to detail in preparing the cottageRead more for the next visitors is needed... We would definitely stay here again... Hide

Brent cottage is in a wonderful location from which to explore the North Norfolk coastline. It is easy to walk out and access the N Norfolk Coastal Path. On our visit the cottage was a little lacking in care and attention and there were NO cleaning materials save for a tiny bottle of detergent and a sponge, nothing to clean the bath or the loo.
