• "Saw owners just once when we collected keys."

  Only advice received was not to close shower doors too hard otherwise doors would fall off. Knocked their door three times but could not get response, despite them being at home. Even when leaving, they would not answer door and we pushed keys through letterbox. Cottage was clean but not very comfortable and we would not consider returning

  Dear Brian, I am sorry that I did not get to meet you in person, I had to leave the day you arrived to stay with my parents. I did however telephone you to tell you that the cottage was unlocked, so that you could let yourself in, and that everything in the cottage was for your use and convenience. There was an information pack on the table with all the information that you required. I also spoke to you on two occasions, when you asked me to take in a packet for you, which I was happy to do. This also gave you the opportunity to ask me any questions that you had. I also sent you a text to thank you for the two wine glasses which you left in place of the glass that you accidentally broke, and I explained that had you used the doorbell I would have heard the door. We prefer to leave our guests in peace to enjoy their holiday, however we always tell our guests that we are here if they need us for any reason. Property Owner

• "Lovely owners, thoughtfully, thoroughly equipped property and gorgeous garden."

  The front room could do with a lamp in/by the fireplace as that part of the room was too gloomy to read in, even with all the other lights on. The fridge doesn’t get cold, so we daren’t buy things to go in it. The bedroom needs a socket or extension near the mirrors, you are limited where you can dry your hair.

  Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear you were hesitant to use the fridge - had you raised an issue during your stay we would have looked in to this for you. Upon your departure, the fridge was checked and found to be working effectively and we have since not received any notification of a problem, but we hope this didn't cause any inconvenience for you.

• "Beautiful cottage, very clean, owners welcoming."

  Please be aware of low beams but only to be expected in a cottage. Two problems I think renters need to be aware of- you have no control over the central heating- whilst this was ok when we visited in mild weather others may not be so lucky. A calor gas heater is provided as a boost. Lighting is not good in garden if you come into the house in the dark. All that said a lovely cottage with lots of info about the area. Pub 1/2 mile away is now a restaurant with v good food.

  We have been back twice now. We used to live in this area and it’s ideal for visiting friends and family who still live here. The cottage is cosy and comfortable and immaculately clean. Debra and Ian, the owners, live next door and have lovingly restored the cottage. It’s a real chocolate box cottage outside and full of beams and old world character inside. The bathroom and kitchen are modern and have everything you need for a really comfortable stay. The garden is full of birds, squirrels and the odd deer. The cottage is on a bus route between Kings Lynn and Spalding, both lovely towns with plenty to do. Snettisham bird reserve is not far and wonderful to watch the geese, while Sandringham is also only a short drive away, we really miss all the walks in the woods there. Debra and Ian make you feel very welcome and are on hand if you need anything. You can’t go wrong with Mrs Dale!

  So refreshing to stay in a cottage with all the character retained with just the right ammount of modern necessities. It was wonderful to see the photo diary of the work undertaken here. The cottage was absolutely spotlessly clean right through and the bed was a struggle to get out of because it was sooo comfortable. We stayed for 5 nights over the new year break and the added little extras made it even more special down to some xmas decorations in the lounge and outside. The only thing i would change would be the settee, whilst the one that was there is totally inkeeping with the character and is comfortable, you can't snuggle up on it and lounge....but maybe thats just us. In all, to put it simply... Perfect.!
