"The owners we're very good nothing was to much trouble,the property felt homily and comfortable and if a couple of things we're sorted out i wouldn't hesitate to go back."
The swimming pool, jacuzzi,and sauna we're a real bonus.
The two things that we're a little bit disappointing was the power shower kept going hot and cold and not a lot of power.
The other thing was the property had a lot of damp and smelt musky where the walls were very damp in the front bedroom and living room

Well equipped and well maintained.
Clean and warm pool and the hot tub are a great bonus.
Being older and shorter, we found the microwave awkward to reach but Sean quickly moved it for us and it was perfect.
Unfortunately one evening there was a electricity blackout in the area but Sean at once called in providing excellent torches and checking we were OK. A cheery and helpful host.
We had a great stay.

"The property was just perfect for us."
Safe secure garden for the dog and for one of our party who suffers with dementia. The property is very well equipped with everything that you would need to prepare meals and more!
As 2 of our party needed help with personal care we found the shower in the pool house was fantastic with plenty of room to help shower them.
The only draw back was one of the bedrooms is a bit small but adequate.
We were lucky with the weather and spent most of the time in the garden, where the table and chairs are in a sun trap and would benefit with a bigger sun shade.
The swimming pool was great as was the jacuzzi. Due to the exceptionally hot weather we didn’t use the sauna!
Sean and Val were excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble . We laughed at their dogs having their own swimming pool and loved watching Val riding one of the four horse and being allowed to pet the horses.
As soon as I okay it with work we will be booking for next year.
Thanks Sean and Val for making our holiday perfect.

"We had a wonderful stay at Fernleigh Villa."
The owners could not have made us feel more welcome, including our dog. The place is extremely dog friendly, with a lovely back garden to play in. Good location for sightseeing. It's a bit of a drive to Great Yarmouth, but we did it as a day trip with a stop on Norwich as well. Lots of dog friendly cafes and restaurants to go to. Plenty of beaches even with the summer restrictions in place.
The cottage it's self is very cosy, comfy and stylish. Hot tub and pool were lovely at the end of a days exploring. There was an info pack about the place and the local information for where to eat out etc was helpful. We will definitely be back.

Lovely walks along the canals, peaceful and pretty village. Sean and Val were very helpful and friendly hosts. The sofa was a little low for me and my disabled husband as it was difficult to get up off but that's just us, not everyone will be affected by this. Beds very comfortable, pool and hot tub very nice. Well equipted kitchen, has everything you need to feel home from home, although I would move the microwave from above the sink to the sideboard to make it easier and safer to use.

They answered any questions we had, such as restaurant recommendations. The swimming pool and hot tub were wonderful, especially at the end of a day out visiting towns and villages. The garden was great for our dog as it was totally secure and there were some lovely walks along the canal 3 minutes away.
Our only negative comment would be the table in the annex was a bit small for us, we like to sit leisurely over a meal chatting, but that was remedied by having the igloo, which could be heated, with a very comfortable table and chairs set up. The weather was good to us so we could sit outside in the beautiful garden with total peace and quiet. Definitely worth a holiday here.

"Can't recommend this place enough!"
The annexe was spotless, warm, comfortable and homely with all the mod cons for sole use of holiday makers. Lots of extras we didn't expect like milk in the fridge and robes for use in sauna ect. The pool was larger than expected and kept at a warm temperature which was great for adults and teenagers alike. It's hot tub is out of this world, always 36+degrees and well maintained. The local area is great for cycling and walking as its all flat. But above all the hosts were most definitely beyond our expectations, pleasant, warm and welcoming. Took us through everything and answered any questions we had and even let our teens pet their horses which were lovely. All in all undoubtedly one of the best stay cations we've ever had!
