Guests say

Waxwings is a well-appointed cottage in Norfolk, praised for its 'wow' factor, beautiful garden, and comfortable furnishings. Guests appreciate the secure outdoor space for pets, the property's cleanliness, and the proximity to local amenities and attractions. The garden room and wood burner are particular highlights, offering a cosy retreat. Some guests noted the road's proximity and occasional maintenance issues, but overall experiences were highly positive, with many looking to return.

Guests consistently report that Waxwings is spotlessly clean, with several reviews highlighting the property's cleanliness. There was a single mention of a cleaning issue, but this appears to be an isolated incident rather than a trend.

The location is generally well-received, with guests enjoying the proximity to beaches, pubs, and local attractions. However, some guests mentioned the busy road and lack of footpaths, which affected the ease of walking directly from the property.

The cottage is frequently described as comfortable and warm, with a secure garden that is especially appreciated by pet owners. The presence of a wood burner and a garden room add to the comfort. A few guests mentioned issues with slippery floors for pets and temperamental hot water.

Facilities are generally praised, including the garden, BBQ, and well-equipped kitchen. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as problems with showers, the dishwasher, and hot water, which suggests room for improvement.

While many reviews express gratitude for the property and the service provided, there are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, a score cannot be given for this category.

  • Mr Sheppard

    We went to Waxwings for two weeks total rest and coastal walks after a difficult year It was exactly what was required and our dog loved doing zoomies round the garden

  • Mr Cook

    Despite its location next to a busy road, we enjoyed the peace and quiet of this cottage and its extensive garden and the bird life which frequents it. A bonus is its proximity to the Drove Orchards Farm Shop complex with its fishmonger, incredible selection of apples and two 'Eric's' takeaways. We highly recommend the fish and chips and the pizzas looked very appetizing - and they had our preferred daily paper! We also enjoyed fine meals at local restaurants just down the road and re-visiting Tichwell reserve.

  • Mrs Brown

    We've stayed at Waxwings several times before first in 2019. We love the location of the property and find it handy for all the places we like to visit. The furniture is a little tired and worn now and on this occasion a cleaning issue made things difficult. The garden was beautiful and in full bloom during our stay.
