  We arrived at the cottage, parked on the very small forecourt (I have a Skoda fabia but it still protruded onto the pavement.

  After we unloaded the car we made a drink using our own tea and milk as there wasn't any at the property as promised. Sat in the one usable seating area in the garden which was uncomfortable (no cushions) overshadowed by an elder dropping berries so a bit messy to sit on and next to a fuel tank that smelt strongly of fuel/oil Immediately the dogs next door began barking and jumping at the fence which disturbed our dog to the point that he didn't want to be in the garden, this was almost continuous. Later on I used the oven to reheat some meatballs and sauce that I had prepared but couldn't find an oven glove. I couldn't find a cloth to wipe the side either, or a dishwasher tablet but luckily I had brought some with me. Once in bed (which was very comfortable) we could clearly hear the neighbours conversation and shouting through the bedroom walls. At 7 am on the Sunday morning loud banging from the neighbours woke us all up, this went on for about 10 minutes. Over breakfast we unanimously decided that we would all rather be at home than in that cottage. My opinion of the property is that it is not a holiday cottage, there weren't any nice views out of the windows or from the garden, you faced the back door and the boiler from the seating area . It was incredibly basic in furnishings and kitchenware, badly maintained with broken/loose tiles as you stepped out the shower, loose/drooping shower rail upstairs. The garden was neglected and uncared for with overgrown grass and bushes, a green mossy chair and concrete seats (covered in elder berries. We packed the car, locked the door and drove home. I have rented many cottages over the years and this is the first time I have given a bad review. The cottage is more suited for long term rental and is certainly not, in my opinion, condusive to a relaxing holiday. I would strongly recommend street viewing the property before booking it. We booked the cottage for a week and stayed for approximately 18 hours, notified the caretaker that we had left by phone call and spent the remainder of our holiday at home.

  Lovely area.

  Very flat so do expect blustery days. Cottage is well fitted out and stocked, but sadly no microwave oven so no quick snacks. We used the log burner only on our first day . We could not see the flames due to build up of soot on the inside of the glass door. We both noticed a faint smell of wood smoke in the kitchen in the evening's during the week we presumed this from adjacent property but this did not detract from our stay but should be looked at. As there's no TV aerial fitted so you need to rely on Wifi to watch any program's but using your own account. Unfortunately you lose the benefits of wifi at around tea time when village usage exceeds wifi capacity. The main point we would reiterate from the write up is the bedroom access stairs. The access upstairs to the bedroom and raised bath are definitely not for the old or infirm. The down stairs bedroom which is built in an insulated wooden extension was cold even with the heating on on frosty nights . There is only enough room to just to walk around the bed so there's is no room for hanging space for clothes. The rear garden needed attention and maintenace but it was early in the season. A visitor book leave helpful comments would have been nice addition. None of the above really detracted from our holiday and not enough to contact the owners durning our break. Hope this is helpful. Regards Ean

  Our first time to Salthouse after many years spent visiting Thornham and surrounding area further up the coast. It has mad a wonderful change. The cottage has been comfortable and very well-equipped. The girls have especially enjoyed the choice of gardens for a game of football. We walked to Cley one day along the beach - great weather. To Blakeney and back from Cley stocking up on goodies from the Cley Deli, then buying lots of interesting books from the second-hand bookshop. I made my first trip to Cromer where we enjoyed learning about it history, then to Overstrand to see the cliff erosion. Off for our second meal at The Dun Cow where the food is excellent. We would love to come back again. We went up to the church where there is a small football pitch. We played a match - The Radford Rovers vs Fiorentina Azurri. The locals came to watch and were very impressed. Very happy Benji the dog who loved it as much as we did. Thank you.

  We booked this cottage as a last minute replacement having been let down by our original site. It has obviously been newly restored and the quality is superb. Very restful, a handy location for most visitor attractions and a beautiful view across the common from the bedroom. The small spiral staircase may be a problem for someone with bad hips, for example, but it made an interesting feature. We spent a little time trying to work out how they managed to get a king-sized bed upstairs??? My wife needed to attend the Norfolk Dialysis Centre in Dersingham three times during the week and it was an easy drive through lovely countryside to achieve this. No doubt it would also be handy for the Wells unit too. A wonderful stay, thank you.

  Lovely cottage with everything you need for a self-catering break. Welcome pack of milk and biscuits waiting on our arrival and tea, coffee & sugar also supplied. The cottage is old so be aware that the stairs are quite steep. Although the Church is very close by the church bells must be muffled because there was very little noise from them - although the same can't be said of the RAF jets overhead (but you soon get used to them) and they did seem to fly at reasonable hours so not too disturbing. There is the village general dealers close by which stocks everything, and a fish & chip shop for those lazy days.
