Guests say
Kath's Cottage in Norfolk is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location with easy access to local amenities and the beach. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities and the thoughtful touches provided by the owner, although some minor maintenance issues were noted. The property exudes charm and character, offering a peaceful retreat with a homely feel.
The cottage receives consistent commendation for its spotless condition and the sense of COVID safety due to the cleanliness. Only one review mentioned a damp smell, but this seems an isolated incident.
The location is celebrated for its convenience, being close to shops, pubs, bus stops, and the beach. It's described as a great staging post for exploring the North Norfolk coast.
Guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with special mentions of a comfortable bed and high-quality bedding. However, one guest found the sofa uncomfortable, slightly impacting the score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with modern equipment and a well-stocked kitchen. Some guests experienced issues with heating and a lack of instructions, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance and information provision.
While guests mention the provision of milk and other basics, there are no specific references to gifts. Therefore, it cannot be confirmed if such thoughtfulness is a consistent practice, and the score is set to null.

The parking was really convenient and we enjoyed sitting outside the front door in the sunshine with drinks and books! The location is great for exploring the stunning coast and gorgeous villages and it was wonderful to come home to the cottage after a day of walking or mooching. The bed was comfy and the shower great. The stairs could be tricky for those with mobility issues but we managed fine.

That probably tells you all you need to know. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. We were lucky with the weather and after a busy day out it was just perfect to come back to the cottage, put our feet up and relax. Especially loved the sofa which may not be new but very comfortable.

Good bus service for most coastal locations. The only issue we had with the cottage was the sofa, uncomfortable and past it's best, bearing in mind we had mostly cold and wet weather so most evenings were spent inside .... All in all, with a new sofa, highly recommended lovely little cottage in a great location.
