  • "A really lovely cottage in a really lovely location, dog friendly - perfect for us, lots of walks."

    Amazing views from every window, met the peacock family! Secluded, peaceful, perfect.

  • "The annex should be on prescription."

    The quietness and the relaxation make it the perfect place to stay. The wild life that you see pass through the garden is worth the stay by itself. It is also the perfect base to explore Norfolk. You are not much more than a hour away from anywhere you want to visit.

    The Cottage is lovely and in wonderful surroundings with large grounds, peacocks roaming around very peaceful, The shower is not brilliant can use but takes a while for the water to warm probably due to wind power electric, cottage clean and comfortable, Mattress on the bed very soft could do with new one The Hosts lovely people very friendly

    Thank you for your feedback To confirm last week Anglia Water had a massive water leak in the next village of Litcham as you know the road was closed for them to do the repair causing lower water pressure than usual to the surrounding villages this was nothing to do with the turbines as they do not power the shower. The electric produced by them goes directly into the grid. The water is heated by oil not electric. The king size mattress obviously is difficult to please everyone but is of very high quality and overall the feedback for it is good. Sorry it didn’t suit your needs. Kind regards Toni Property Owner

    It is situated in a lovely countryside area with far reaching views across the flat lawned garden and then fields beyond. We constantly kept looking out for wildlife from the lounge windows, it was as if we on the set of Spring watch! Hares, deer, muntjac deer, pheasants, a lovely pair of thrushes, blackbirds a many, a pied wagtail. They all seem to be quite at home mooching about close to The Annexe, but so glad we had our binoculars with us too. A lovely stay, we certainly would love to go back soon.

    Thank you for your kind review however I am concerned with your 75% for the cleanliness of the property. Could you please let me know what areas need improvement so I can pass your feedback to the cleaner. Hope to see you another time. Toni Property Owner

    Prior, we had reservations that we wouldn't be able to relax and would be conscious that we could be encroaching on someone's private space. That couldn't be further from how it was. We had a very peaceful and relaxing holiday and the annexe was a lovely and peaceful place to stay and we didn't want to leave. The accommodation was lovely and the garden is such a nice place to walk around. Its a great base to explore and our dog enjoyed the many off lead walks around Norfolk. We hope to return.

About the location

LITCHAM

East Dereham 9 miles; Swaffham 9 miles; Fakenham 11 miles.

Litcham is a traditional, rural Norfolk village with one pub (The Bull Inn), a local cafe, a combined post office and convenience store, and a fish and chip shop. The beautiful village church, with its prominent square tower, dates back to the 12th century, though it was rebuilt to a great extent in the 15th. Litcham and the surrounding villages in the parish (particularly Beeston and Tittleshall) have a busy events calendar. Litcham Common, officially a Local Nature Reserve for over 20 years, is superb for nature lovers, bird-watchers and particularly walkers, as it sits on the Nar Valley Way, which runs all the way from East Dereham to King's Lynn. The three local towns of East Dereham, Swaffham and Fakenham are all about 10 miles away, providing access to a wide range of shops, pubs and restaurants.

Note: Babes-in-arms and adults only.
