  Lovely holiday cottage, comfortable, very clean and well equipped.

  We enjoyed a week at the cottage at the end of May and despite the unseasonably cold north wind the cottage was cosy enough. The southern aspect of the house front and garden means it's going to be easy to enjoy any sun there may be. The cottage is linear in design and all the rooms have windows facing the south. We manged well with the different floor levels that have developed as the original cottage was extended, the stair treads are quite shallow but safe enough for a couple in there late sixties. Bathrooms appear recently refurbished and were very clean. Super comfortable bed in the main double bedroom. Good wifi throughout the cottage and a reasonable O2 mobile signal. The kitchen has been refurbished as well and a good selection of implements, crockery, glasses and all the appliances you may need plus a large fridge. Nice to see a full set of washing up materials and plenty of washing up liquid. Lovely to chat to the owner's father who lives next door and he is full of local knowledge and tips. Nice little village with a shop for essentials (a little pricey) and a large range of gifts. Wells on Sea is just down the road for larger grocery shops and a range of shops. Loved our meal at the Red Lion and though there is a stretch of road with no pavement in the evenings there is little traffic to worry about so an easy walk. There are plenty of footpaths around the village and I would recommend turning left out of the gate and taking the road past the telephone box up to the sports field. Carry on through the fields and past the holiday homes and you come to the trees lining the edge of the marshland overlooking the sea. Here you can join the coastal path. One local attraction I would 100% encourage visitors to pay a visit is the 'Rescue Wooden Boats' museum, it only opens on Sundays but is a very professional and interesting display of artifacts, boats and information. They also run harbour tours in Wells in the old lifeboat the volunteers have restored. Other places close by I would recommend are Morston Quay and Blakeney with the latter having some good walks and a great cafe by the NT carpark. North Norfolk is great for families with lots of places to visit and super sandy beaches and lots of WWII history. Thoroughly recommend the cottage and location.

  We had a great week at Primrose Cottage.

  Great amenities, comfortable beds & lovely to have a real fire in the evenings, only plus would be a dishwasher, as I really don't want to be washing up when I'm on holiday. Also please can you put hooks on the back of the bedroom doors, to hang nightwear on! many self catering owners seem to forget this! A bonus however was parking for 2 cars! The Red Lion pub in the village of Stiffkey is a great place for a meal and the local shop has delicious cakes & coffee. We were able to easily visit Holt, Burnham Market ( recommend having Sunday lunch at No 29 & tapas at the excellent Socius) Wells-next-the-Sea & Sheringham and had a trip into Norwich ( my home city), using the airport Park & Ride. Another alternative is to take the train from Sheringham. A great stay & we would definitely book again.

  Great cottage, however the rear parking is very limited.

  As you have to go down a tight track which at the end was the gate. And a sharp left turn into the parking area. The entrance to the garden is shared with next door no 12, so a really big car won't fit as you have to leave space and you need someone at the back to help navigate out by reversing. The single bed is very soft and gives little back support. It's very spacious and well equipped. The dishwasher works great but the instructions are for another machine. There's no Pizza cutter, everything else though. Overall its lovely and very well maintained. I definateley would stay again. The top two steps on the stairs seem a bit loose so a bit of investigation by the owner may be needed and probably a quick fix. Bathroom is huge and modern. We felt very relaxed.

  Very good clean property.

  All required items are there and the property was prepared for us very well with high chair and cot which seemed as if they were brand new! Only issue we had was with parking, only 1 space and it is very tight to get in/out of but there is nearby parking usually available on street. Very close proximity to the beach and restaurants etc. We had booked to stay with our dog but decided not to take him in the end, thankful that we didn’t as he would’ve escaped the garden with the gate being shared access and had been left open by the neighbour plus it is a wooden one with lots of space (he is a small dog hence why it would’ve been a problem!) All in all a very pleasant stay and we would return purely due to its proximity to the local amenities.

  Primrose Cottage is a wonderful place to stay when visiting North Norfolk.

  Within walking distance is a gastropub, cafe selling provisions (such as milk, eggs, bread + freshly baked pastries open from 830am) and other goodies, playground and the marsh to explore. We had a lovely time (3 nights) with the children and easy access to Wells and Holt. The cottage beds are super comfortable, the place is clean through out and the temperature is spot on. Lots of places to sit down and read a book on your own or gather together in the snug, sitting room or dinning room. Crabbing and beach equipment super helpful too in the garden shed. Highly recommend staying here.
