  The Folly is beautiful and extremely well equipped.

  We loved the garden and were lucky enough to have glorious weather so we were able to sit by the pond almost every day to relax and watch the bees. We walked across the fields several times to visit Mere - a lovely little village with a beautiful church. We definitely recommend The Butt of Sherry for a fantastic Sunday lunch - the staff were so welcoming and friendly and the food was excellent. We also visited The Walnut Tree - a little further on but accessible via a public footpath opposite The George Inn. Another lovely lunch. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. We visited Stourhead - twice as it was so beautiful. It is literally a 7 minute drive but you can spend a whole day enjoying the beautiful gardens, and having lunch at The Spread Eagle. We visited Monacute House, which is another lovely National Trust site with lovely walks, and a few nice pubs for lunch. Colin and Claire are wonderful hosts, very friendly and helpful with lots of local knowledge - the homemade jam and marmalade were delicious! This week has been an oasis of calm during a very difficult year - we have had a wonderful time and are going home with recharged batteries and fond memories.

  Fantastic location and accommodation and I would recommend it to anyone, and you do get your exercise steps in going from car to Folly and up and down the stairs its not for the unfit.

  As I have already said lovey in every aspect we sat out on patio every morning having breakfast watching the squirrels and birds in the trees, and at night sitting next to pond having a beer after a hard day sight seeing watching the stars brilliant. The owners left lovely welcome pack tea-coffee bread bacon and lovely home made jams all very nice. We loved are stay at the Folly the only problem we had was we stayed in July 2021 when temperatures where +29 degrees most days and the bed room gets very hot it has no windows and as a mezzanine floor in the apex of the roof heat rises so very warm at night we had two fans running every night "sorry if Colin's electric bill is higher than normal" There is one other thing that would have been nice in that the folly is ideal for romantic holiday it is lovely but in the lounge there are only two single seats we felt a nice sofa you can cuddle in on and watch a little TV at night would have been nice. I have no negatives about the folly we loved our holiday if you want a quiet stay in fantastic location with great accommodation you should try the Folly. regards Mike

  Josephine’s Cottage is absolutely precious! It has everything you could need and having an enclosed back yard made it so convenient if you have a dog with you. Heating worked well and there were logs for one night’s fire (along with detailed instructions on how to use the wood-burning stove, which was appreciated as it was my first time). It was great to have a washer and dryer. Parking was easy on the green across the street. The stairs up to the bedroom are quite steep and may not suit everyone. The one cafe in Great Walsingham is an absolute delight; the owners are lovely, and the food is delicious. There’s a great gallery right there, too. The cottage owners recommended a short circular walk to Little Walsingham which I second, and the Abbey in town had beautiful grounds, medieval ruins and fields covered in snowdrops. The only thing I would note is shower water pressure isn’t very good but all the other positives heavily outweigh that one negative. I had a wonderful stay - it was a fantastic introduction to North Norfolk. I was gutted to leave and hope to return soon!

  My husband and I stayed here for a short break.

  The Folly was easy to find, following the instructions given. Clare and Colin were very welcoming, they kindly supplied us with some provisions such as bacon, eggs, milk, bread, butter, fresh fruit and some delicious homemade jam. The grounds the Folly are set in are beautiful (as is the main house gardens). It is a stunning building, with patio seating supplied to sit and admire the garden. The kitchen has everything you need. The lounge has some very comfortable seating, a log burner, writing desk and some lovely art work. Here there are three windows that look over the garden and beyond to the fields and Mere in the distance. There is a spiral staircase that takes you up to the bedroom and bathroom, both tastefully decorated. The bed is very comfortable, but we found the bathroom a tad on the narrow side, the shower is good to. We had a lovely stay here. It was so peaceful, to sit and read and listen to the sheep, birds and the sound of the wind in the trees. Would highly recommend The Folly.

  A fabulously clean, comfortable and well appointed cottage. The bed is extremely comfortable and a good power shower. All the sheets, towels and soaps are excellent quality. Definitely the cleanest dog friendly cottage we’ve stayed in. The large garden is extremely secure with discreet wire fencing surrounding the whole of it. A great base for exploring the Suffolk coast. There is also a pub at each end of the road, easily walkable, but will need a torch at night. We favoured The Queens Head, Blyford 0.7 miles. Great food and fantastic staff. The Star Inn didn’t have a chef when we went, so no food. Parking is the only issue here. There is space for one car outside, but you will need to tuck it tight against the wall. However, there is a parking bay 25 meters further down the road. If you get a chance go to the Queen’s Head Inn at Bramfield. A 2.5 mile drive, but amazing. We will definitely book here again. Thankyou.
