  We've had an amazing family stay in flat 2.

  The flat itself is absolutely gorgeous and located in a beatififul spot overlooking the sea. What a blissful sight to awaken to each morning. Situated between Porth Beach & Watergate Bay it's ideal for sand & surf lovers. We will be highly recommending flat 2 to everyone we know. Just 2 little gripes, the first being the outside patio area. This was for us, and I'm sure many others, the main selling point of the accommodation. What better place to sit and sip a cuppa or eat lunch overlooking the sea. Sadly though, the patio furniture is in a poor state and the metal is all rusted. One of the chairs was rusted so badly it had snapped leaving dangeous rusty spikes. The plants are also too overgrown so once siting out there, the view of the sea is obstructed. A new patio set & a bit of TLC with the plants is all it would take to have this place perfect. The second little gripe is the boiler. We used the heating very briefly for one evening when it turned a little chilly. The boiler was intermittently rumbling and vibrating incredibly loud (kettling). It was very concerning so we turned it off. This is something that needs to be addressed ASAP as can lead to terrible consequences if left. Possibly a good service could fix this. To anyone reading. These are the only 2 minuses in an abundance of plusses this property presents. It truly is absolutely gorgeous. Once sorted, this is the perfect pad!

  Light, cosy, peaceful and beautifully located. Orchard Cottage is a charming place in an absolutely excellent location. Cosy, very well equipped and very comfortably furnished with a lovely little strip of garden, we found this to be exactly the peaceful retreat we were looking for.Inside, it's light, airy and spacious. Outside it's just at the top of the lovely village of Ringstead, which has a great pub and a very well stocked local store just a short walk away so unlike some places you're not completely bound drive everywhere. Ringstead also has a lovely walk around it taking in the beautiful Ringstead Downs and chalk pit.Hunstanton is only a short drive away, as are the excellent Thornham Deli and Drove Orchards farm shop. Beautiful beaches at Holme, Hunstanton and Titchwell are all within about 10 minutes by car and there are plenty of other beautiful places less than 30 minutes away along the coast.Honestly there's really nothing to fault this place for - I particularly loved the kitchen, which is very well equipped with a great fan oven, and the delightful little dining room facing out into the garden where we ate all our meals. Definitely hope we'll come again soon!

  Delightfully refurbished cottage - to a very high spec - in a great near-coastal Norfolk village. Ringstead is a lovely North Norfolk village, and this cottage is well situated for the local very good gastropub/gin palace (!) and extensive, quirky and well-stocked local shop. The furnishings are to a very high spec - but not off-putting, so that you fear to tread for fearing of damaging things! It is very comfortable and well stocked with kitchen equipment and goods, as well as high quality TV/wi-fi/radio/DVD player etc. The beds are very comfortable, the bathroom a delight. The property's very thick walls are great sound barriers and heat retainers. The cottage is very dog friendly and is within very short distances of fantastic beaches for dogs at Old Hunstanton and Holkham. All in all, a lovely short stay in a delightful, well furnished and greatly positioned, renovated farm cottage on the North Norfolk coast.

  A little gem of a property!

  The flat is well-equipped, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Having all the accommodation on one floor was great for us as Mum has mobility issues and can't manage stairs (the few steps up to the front door weren't an issue). The beds were super-comfy, and having an allocated parking space off-road was a bonus. By far the best thing about the property is the view from the lounge - we had some stunning sunsets, and the weather held just enough for us to enjoy the odd glass of wine on the terrace. Thank you very much for the welcome goodies - the tea and biscuits were much appreciated after a long drive, and a lovely touch (that Cornish tea is lovely!). All in all we had a lovely week in your delightful property and would definitely recommend it. (So sorry again about your bread board!)

  A Little Gem!We stayed at Orchard Cottage for 3 days and wished it was for longer! The cottage is beautiful! The décor and furnishings are incredible. The attention to detail is second to none. You feel at home as soon as you walk through the front door, and the cottage is so cosy when the log burning fire is on. The local pub, The Gin Trap Inn is a 10 minute walk away and serves great food and yummy gin. I did try and book Orchard Cottage for my birthday weekend next year, however at that time of year it is a minimum of 7 nights stay as it is half term which is understandable. You will be hard pushed to find somewhere else with the high level of décor and furnishings............I have looked and cannot find anything better as yet! :0)
