  We booked this property for our family summer holiday.

  We found it to be comfortable, clean, and as advertised. A perfect location for exploring this beautiful part of Norfolk. Having a car is essential though as not much within walking distance from the property, but loads to do in about a 20-30min drive. The property was ideal for our family and having use of the garden and garden loungers was a real bonus. Use of Wi-fi was also good and great to have a dishwasher too and on site parking! We read some reviews about traffic noise as the property is on a main road, but we didn't find this disturbed us at all. Other places we've stayed have left milk and tea bags on arrival which were missed this time and meant we had to go straight out after arriving for supplies, and things like bin liners etc weren't available which would have been useful, but other than that, it was a really comfortable stay. We loved watching all the birds, house martin's and swallows in the garden, and the bats at night. We discovered a playground and playing field behind the caravan park across the road which the kids enjoyed but only found this later in the week so would have been nice to know about this earlier. Shower in the ensuite was a bit temperamental and the folder of information could do with an update, but we would definitely recommend this property to others. There is a lot of stairs in the property so probably not ideal for those with mobility issues, but it has a real charm to it. Thanks for a great stay.

  Quaint spacious cottage with off road parking & was in an ideal location for our trip to Thursford Xmas Show.

  Met by the friendly ‘Wally’ who lives next door - showed us controls for heating & what they were set at.( suited our needs for this stay) In a reasonable clean state, but lots of cobwebs noted. Cleaners need to be checked that they’ve done a good job before change over of clients. Not 4/5 star…we didn’t ‘sleepeeze’!- Mattresses old style, very tired/dipping in the middle - in need of replacing. Expected basics to be provided, along with oven gloves, hairdryer, extra loo rolls & a safe (standard in 4/5* rated rentals) Saucepans need replacing( linings blistered/peeled off) & to include a small one along with a set of microwaveable bowls. No handle for grill pan either. A full set of hi hall & pint glasses would have been appreciated. The large garden would be a bonus during the summer months. Situated on the very busy & noisy A148 which is not mentioned on the site. ( ok in winter as closed windows block out noise but would be a problem during warmer days/nights. The Green Man pub- very short opening hours & no food. Felt for the young man behind the bar who himself was very welcoming & friendly.

  The cottage in places was very dusty with lots of cobwebs.

  In the kitchen there was no fire blanket or fire extinguisher as I would expect, is this not a legal requirement in a holiday let. The two sinks in the kitchen and utility both had drainers that simply did not drain, the water just stood so all clean plates etc we sitting in dirty water. As list the cottage is on an A road the statement of some noise is an understatement the cottage is not double glazed so noise can be heard, but when it's a heatwave and the windows need to be opened its awful and the road noise goes on til at least 12am. There is a little respite before it starts again at about 4.30am. We had a lovely time at the beaches etc but are extremely tired from the road noise. In the back garden we found up to 15 screws on the patio near the picnic table that the owners had not cleared away. I swept them up so that neither myself or my family didn't stand on them.

  The owners next door where very helpful and kind when we arrived.

  Idyllic little cottage with cosy furnishings and conveniently located for exploring north Norfolk. Plenty of room for two vehicles to the front on a very good size driveway. Good size rooms with the benefit of an ensuite shower room to the master bed. And a really good size family bathroom with bath. Massive garden with the use of sundowners will be great for summer months. Only draw backs are the heating is on twice daily and has a emertion tank for hot water, so when it's gone you need to wait till it heats up again. It can be put on override, but with the climate, kinda feel guilty. And with me and my family all having dodgy backs the mattresses weren't the best. Some reviews mention the noise of the A148 right outside, but we found it OK and didn't keep up awake. We would recommend this property and would stay again for a short break.

  I booked Sleepeezy as a holiday treat for my sister and mum.

  We looked at alot of cottages and decided on Sleepeezy. It looked quaint, reasonably priced and was pretty central for places we wanted to visit like Holt, Sheringham, Fakenham and Cromer. Inside was lovely too, if a little tired decorwise in places. That said, we were comfortable, warm and had everything we needed. The owner visited on our first evening explained heating etc, and left us to our holiday. As he lived over garage he was on hand should we have needed to ask anything. I would advise taking earplugs for a good night's sleep, especially in front bedrooms, as the road outside cottage is very noisy, up to late at night and starts again early morning. Would recommend to friends and family.
