  3 things required, internet, smart tv and Newley renovated. All not as advertised , we are Currently in dispute with the owner over a ruined Christmas week stay. Before arriving I had read the last review on the no internet, therefore I was fixated on this on arrival. When we arrived, the BT box is blinking orange, The internet doesn’t work, I ended up calling the owner to address the router issue, her response was simply to “turn it off and on again.” Explained one had done this ample times. Well nothing I can do was the response. Therefore I went through the booking company, who couldn’t get her to take responsibility either—she just washed her hands of the situation. I should have asked to be released but as it was Christmas, we had a disabled dog & travelled 4 hours. Where else am I going, so we tried to make the most of it. But Then you start to notice the building feels like it’s subsiding—you generally will feel like you’re walking on a boat, extremely slanted floors and all the doors slam shut on their own. Most of the walls, doors, and ceilings have cracks, the description stating this place “newly renovated” is very misleading, they even tried to say “it’s just settlement” after the makeover. We also ran out of gas half way through , luckily we noticed in the day and it got replaced quickly. Otherwise no heating or hot water. Our last few nights, we had violent scratching and squealing in the roof above the fireplace, shower room and main bedroom, rats or birds? . With all the issues we had, we documented this daily to the booking company and they forwarded it to the owner. Who has completely dismissed our concerns and just keeps saying the last guests didn’t mind. Therefore I’m leaving this review to ensure no one else makes the mistake of staying here. If you need working internet and undisturbed sleep, make sure all these issues above have been resolved before booking.

  Never until now have we found a place that ticks all the boxes. Especially for us, a super-king bed. Having a tough year with health it was a much needed break. Unfortunately the journey wasn't good for me. Daily cancelling all our plans but thankfully hubby was able to get his well deserved chill in the hot tub. When we did get out we had dinner at Recruiting Sergeant Coltishall. Fabulous food and lovely pub with some nice seating out back. Bure River Cottage fish restaurant very good. Must book, gets full very quickly (Horsey). Ferry Inn Horning nice sitting on the water. Hilary what a fabulous job you did designing The Cartshed. It has everything and more anyone would need. Although it took a while before I met you both Colin kept telling me how wonderful and helpful you were. The goodies you left were a real treat, home grown produce for us when we got home, was wonderful. It was lovely to chat with you both this evening. Your gardens are beautiful. We will definitely be back to see more of Norfolk. Thank you.

  We had a lovely stay and would recommend this cosy cottage. The host was more than generous and thought of everything that we would need or may have forgotten for our stay. We were staying for a week at Christmas and the Christmas tree was lit and the tasteful interiors was lovely, and even left logs for the log burner, until we purchased some ourselves. The host kindly left us a bottle of wine, mince pies, biscuits and a Christmas card. The location is great as you can walk over to Thornham and have food either in the Orange Tree or The Lifeboat Inn and don't forget the Deli in Thornham too if you require some food to take back to the cottage. Then you can walk the other way from the cottage to Old Hunstanton and eat at The Lodge. The walks are so lovely and only ten minutes to get to the Holme beach, but I would recommend visiting Holkham beach, Wells-next-the-Sea if you want a lot more going on.

  A lovely cottage on the edge of a holiday park, the garden was enclosed, with a 4ft fence. Our dogs loved chasing each other around. The hot tub was great, but could have been hotter as we went mid-Oct so you noticed the cold air and the water cooling if you stayed in for a while. We couldn't get the WiFi to work, despite numerous attempts, but as there were no instructions, we weren't sure if it was something we did or didn't do correctly, so we were unable to watch any digital channels not necessarily a bad thing as we read, talked and had a totally chilled out weekend. The beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of storage space in both bedrooms. It was lovely to have walks on the doorstep for the dogs and we easily covered 5+ miles each day without realising. We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend and are hoping to book again for next year.

  A wonderful and relaxing break at Cartshed Lodge. 5 star accommodation and everything we needed. Really enjoyed the hot tub and chilling out on our return after a day out. Thank you to Hilary and Russell for being so welcoming and the scrumptious biscuits, eggs, apple juice and bundle of apples which we will use to make apple crumble on our return home. We were so lucky with the weather. Hired a boat from Sutton Staithe as recommended, and spent a few hours on The Broads which was so peaceful and relaxing, and moored up at the side of an old windmill for our picnic lunch. Went on a seal trip with Beans Boats from Morston Quay - well worth doing - saw so many seals. Visited Holkham beach which was stunning and the town of Burnham Market. Train trip on the Bure Valley steam railway and Miniature World in Wroxham. We'll be back to Norfolk as so much more to do.
