  We had an enjoyable stay at Wallflower cottage and would recommend it to others.

  Its location affords particularly good access to the beach/ coast. However, with a little more attention, the owners could make this an even better offer. For example, we holidayed during the hottest week of the year but on arrival, discovered a winter duvet on the main bed. The bedroom door also rubbed on the carpet and really needs to be planed on the bottom. The potato peeler was also a bit pants but that may have just been my dodgy fingers. General instructions left on the coffee table could be improved to make most of the property and the surrounding areas. (The WiFi was a bit patchy and didn't extend further than the sofa and I had to link the SMART TV into the internet to access YouTube, iPlayer, Amazon, etc.) The property was cleaned to a good standard but certain areas looked a little tired (flaking paint and walls where guests have rubbed against); which will undoubtedly be addressed in the off-season. As mentioned, parking is a little tight at the front of the property but this can't be helped. Overall, a really nice stay that has left us with some pleasant memories. Thank you.

  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!

  Broom Cottage is a little gem and perfect location for exploring all North Norfolk has to offer.

  The cottage was spotlessly clean, loved the bright, modern kitchen which was kitted out with plenty of equipment you might need if cooking and eating in. Our weather was stunning so taking breakfast in the cute little terraced garden was a perfect start to each day. I made sure i topped up the water for the many resident garden birds! and watered the hydrangea outside the front door - it was extremely hot weather and it looked like it had suffered a bit over the last 2 weeks. It had perked up by the time we departed though. We so appreciated the addition of the cool fan tower in the bedroom - a total must for the small twin bedded room in hot weather.. Beds all very comfortable. The only small comment i would make is that we were not aware of the 2nd bedroom only being accessed by the main bedroom - this was not ideal when needing to use the bathroom in the night. Perfect for a family but perhaps should be pointed out for other dynamics. All in all a fab stay. Apologies i forgot to write feedback in your sweet little book.

  Ideal location for broads and coast.

  Sweet characterful cottage. Well equipped kitchen. Modern heaters easy to use. Unfortunately the cottage has a large spider population and the patio was full of weeds so even if the weather had been better we wouldn't have wanted to sit out there (unless we weeded it ourselves!) We didn't find the cottage particularly comfortable, the dining chairs very hard, very small wardrobe in the main bedroom and no wardrobe, bedside table dressing table or drawers in the second double bedroom so nowhere to put anything, four wall hooks were supplied plus one on the door. Although only two of us, we needed to use both the rooms for health reasons (we are in our 70's). To make matters worse the very characterful cottage opposite has a security light flashing many times over night, straight through the very thin curtains so this disturbed our sleep. (Not the fault of the owner of course). Didn't like the absence of curtains or blinds in the kitchen and bathroom. However it is a very good location, lovely walks straight from the cottage.

  It was filthy.

  Absolutely filthy. One read of the grease encrusted visitors book there are complaints of hygiene dating back years. I was booked with my elderly cancer patient father to stay during the Christmas period for 4 nights but went home after 2, as 2 nights breathing in thick black mould from every corner of the bedroom was too much for my lungs to bare. The state of the whole place was thick with dust, grease and grime.; spiders webs non living insects and mould. This stay was during COVID. All commercial rentals are legally bound to be deep cleaned after each stay. This place has not had a decent clean since the start of the Black Plague let alone covid. I left and went home and complained that night. Why didn't I complain at the time? Quite frankly if the standard of cleanliness and hygiene was deemed acceptable then the last thing I wanted was to let these non covid compliant strangers who thought this acceptable to come into the hovel with mine and my fathers belongings insitu. I was refused any refund
