What our customers say about their holidays

  I'd give Norfolk Hideaways and Claire (the owner of the property) 6 stars if I could! This was our second time in as many years and we are just about to book in the next few weeks for our third hopefully (please!). This property is one of the most outstanding properties that we have ever stayed in - and we have stayed in quite a few with being largely UK holiday makers. A stones throw from the fantastic Crab Cafe with the fantastic Kelly and crew who have watched our two boys grow up over the decades that we visited twice this year. The food as ever did not disappoint. This time we even went with a 'plus one' as our children have reached that next chapter of their lives. The Globe, 'Bang', Nelsons and French's fish and chip shop also sorted us for food for most of the week and again all only a short walk away from the property - no designated driver required ever. A fantastic week of weather also added to the many positives, wall to wall sunshine every day. Days at Sandringham (easily drivable), Holkham and Wells Beach just lovely as a result. Lovely couple of hours spent walking with Alpaca's too and also visited an escape room in Fakenham which was superb - a first for me! For those nights with no restaurants/ food booked, the local coop and Nisa supermarket well catered for our needs, again all within walking distance from the property. Lovely deli's and loads of ice cream options too. The shops on Staithe Street are a full afternoons activity and Arthur Howell's bakery, butcher and deli have many things to tickle your fancy - their sausage rolls and cakes are superb. Burgers at their butchers outlet are pretty amazing too. Lovely new bakery opened too that we weren't aware of last year that also serves the best sausagae rolls, with a Moroccan one that really took our fancy. The house has everything you need and more. Parking is superb. As a five now we took two cars and could easily have fitted another one in. The garden is sublime and for us 'oldies' was always our little oasis to read a good book, grab a tea or coffee, or in the evening a Prosecco or some sort of tipple and listen to music. The kitchen was amazing with everything you need and a rather impressive oven/ halogen hob and American style fridge freezer. We noticed that their attention to detail this year even included replacement windows , which have safety catches if you have littlies, so attention to safety first class! The welcome hamper from Claire, with a lovely postcard to us was the perfect welcome and the contents were very much welcomed from very hungry 'boys' which meant the contents didn't last long! Lovely salted caramel cookies! It is situated right next to open fields so you wake up to swishing horses tails from one bedroom, being 'horsey' as a child I was in my happy place. The garden is not overlooked and so private, on two tiers so you can sit and watch the sunset over the pine forest, which are quite simply superb. Flowers in the garden are also beautiful. Thank you Claire for the love and attention you have given to this adorable house and letting us share it for a week. We look forward to returning next year. Thank you Norfolk Hideaways too for your care and attention. We have been booking holidays with you for many years now and you never disappoint. We'll be back!

  House is located at the end of the row of properties. Very quiet location despite being just off one of the main roads into/out of Wells. We didn’t use the garden area as being at the end of September the garden was in shade mostly, however in the height of summer I am sure it would be lovely as the property overlooks fields and there was plenty of bird song going on as well as the various geese flying over. Downstairs is spacious and the living room is just right for chilling out and the dining/kitchen and utility area was well designed with everything you needed. The bedrooms were slightly on the small side (had to step sideways to get into and out of bed however having a larger comfy bed made up for this. Overall, this house was brilliant for our family get together.

  Red Gables is a beautiful, very comfortable and well-equipped house, situated in a quiet and tranquil location in Burnham Market but very close to the village centre. It was ideal for our elderly aunt and uncle, with it being on one level and having a walk-in shower for them. We had a great week! The weather was fantastic - hot, sunny and blue skies every day. Norfolk Hideaways were very helpful in tracking down the parasol for the garden - quickly visiting us with the shed key after I phoned. They were good to deal with throughout, always helpful and I was kept well informed during the booking process. I would definitely recommend Norfolk Hideaways (and Red Gables) and look forward to another holiday with them soon.

  What can I say - what a fantastic experience staying here. We were greeted by Christine who was very lovely and made us feel incredibly welcome. Upon arrival - we received a hamper full of really nice goods, which was a very lovely touch to our stay. The bed - I would say it was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. The location is so central and a very quick walk to the local pubs/restaurants as well as the high street, including the quay. I can’t recommend this place enough. Me and my partner wish we booked for an extra night as one night here wasn’t enough! Would 100% stay here again when in the area.
