What our customers say about their holidays

  My husband and I spent 4 days over Christmas at Margaretta House with our children and extended family, having stayed there previously for the October half term holidays. Margaretta House was the ideal choice for our large multigenerational group holiday, and we were very happy to come back for Christmas. The house is spacious and was beautifully decorated with a large Christmas tree. The house was warm, and had several woodburning stoves and an aga, perfect for winter. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it really easy for us to prepare all our meals including Christmas lunch for 14, and the enormous dining room was perfect for our big family meals. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and there are plenty of living areas to use so we never felt cramped. My children loved the massive sofas in the kitchen where they could play or watch TV whilst the adults cooked. Another highlight was the heated indoor swimming pool which the whole family used every day during our stay. The gardens are large and there was plenty of room for our children to run around (safely) outside and we all enjoyed petting the very friendly sheep. Great location and perfect for trips to the North Norfolk beaches and Sandringham which is close by. Highly recommend and would book again.

  Gorgeous property full of character with potential of being 5*.

  Overall we had a fantastic stay but a few things bothered us. Here are the things that could be improved. Full replacement of range oven. We were told the day before the hob was broken. This was a nightmare when cooking for 10 people. We were given a late check out as a gesture of goodwill which was no good to us as we had to go back to work. The x2 temporary hob plates were not great but we had no choice. We relied more on the oven which wasn’t super reliable either (uneven heat etc). Maybe just replace the whole thing?! Living room arrangements, the 1 with the working chimney is the one we used the most as it had the big tv and log burner in it. There are 2 sofas and 1 big bean bag, we were a group of 10 so it always meant a few people were sat on the floor or beanbag which is not ideal. We wanted to sit as a group and felt like this set up was better for a group of 6 adults… please look at this as at full capacity it would be even worse (groups don’t always want to sit in separate rooms). The freestanding bath was something a lot of us wanted to use but it isn’t installed at level so it wobbles from side to side, doesn’t feel safe, again please look into this.

  Outstanding.

  We were a family of 8 adults and 4 children together for a special occasion. It was like staying in a National Trust property. Never stopped anywhere like it before. Bedrooms and all rooms were huge and very tastefully decorated. Beds were super comfy and lots of places to sit and relax. Spotlessly clean and very well maintained with one exception - the induction hob wasn't working. We were informed about this beforehand and temporary arrangements made for us so we changed our meal plan. Obviously this could be a big issue - but for us it was not. The only other negative was the top floor bedroom. Great for the kids but we happened to be there on the rare occasion of a lovely summer weekend and the room was extremely warm. A cooling air-con unit in this room is a must! The garden/drive is well laid out, very peaceful, well maintained and with ample tables and chairs - all of which were well used. The property is across the road from the Crown Inn - a lovely pub serving excellent food - very busy so you need to book and both are situated in a lovely little village. I've never written this before but yes I would go back.

  We had the most fantastic stay here at Granar.

  The house itself exceeding our expectations-it was very high spec and well thought out, a perfect place to be with family/friends. It was very quiet and peaceful and not too far from local attractions etc…the only thing to be aware of when booking is that you can’t walk out anywhere so you do have to drive everywhere. Also, I would suggest to do your research about pubs/restaurants nearby as we struggled with this (not sure if it was covid related or just not a lot around that would let you book) The only other thing that disappointed us was that we had planned our last afternoon to be at the house, in the hot tub and upon our return we found that it had been emptied therefore it was cold. We have never been anywhere before that has done this so we were a little shocked! It would have been good to know this happened before. However, as we have said before everything else was fantastic so definitely don’t be put off by the only negative. The scenery is also incredible and we would 100% recommend this property.

  Would highly recommend this property.

  Several days before arrival, we received a comprehensive information pack; the detailed instructions on how to find the property were a big help for those guests whose satnav took them to the school! The house is full of charm with many original features, yet has modern kitchen, bathrooms etc. The kitchen was very well equipped and the welcome pack, including doggy treats, was much appreciated. There was plenty of space for our party of 10 plus 2 dogs, and the separate sitting rooms were great for a group that size. The photos don't do justice to the garden, which is extensive and well maintained. There is a dog friendly pub over the road which serves good food. I'm not sure why Sykes advertises this property as having 2 bathrooms - there are definitely 3! The description also doesn't mention the (rather lovely) stairgate which, while not at the foot of the stairs so not perfect for babies/toddlers, keeps the dogs downstairs.
