"Lovely holiday with family- beautiful house and fantastic host- thank you!"
Great seeing 4 generations of one family together having special time enjoying themselves. Lovely guests, left the farmhouse in an immaculate condition. Thank you Lorraine and family ☺️ Property Owner

"Malthouse Farm was the perfect retreat for a weekend stay with two families and teenagers, with enough space (and bathrooms) for everyone."
Katie was a superb host and very responsive to any queries or issues we had, which were sorted out immediately. She also left the most wonderful welcome pack, which was very much appreciated by all ages! We will definitely be returning to Malthouse in the future. Thanks Katie!
Sophia, we enjoyed hosting you and your friends family. Great communication between us made everything pretty seamless. It was lovely meeting you and your children - we hope to see you again in the future Property Owner

"Katie was a fantastic host."
She was in constant communication from the point of booking to our departure. The house was immaculate and felt like we were the first guests in the house. Everything was very well thought out from the hot tub being prepared to the kitchen being ready. There was ample amount of wood for the fire pit so make sure you bring loads of marshmallows! We visited with 7 adults and 2 kids (aged 3 and 2). The kids were well catered for with a travel cot made available to a stair guard being in place at the bottom of the stairs. I couldn’t recommend this house anymore with no real drawbacks.
Premal and his family were a pleasure to have at the farmhouse. They enjoyed their time together making new memories as an extended family. Explored new parts of the coast and made the most of the house and all it had to offer. The house suits multi-generational visitors as it has lots of different spaces to be together but not “on top of each other”. A great experience, thank you Premal and family. Communication was easy and swift and worked for all. Property Owner

"Had a great stay with extended family, house was wonderful, the Kids had lots of fun, very close to the beach."
Communication with the owner Katie was very easy and nothing was too much trouble. We are quite a boisterous bunch so hopefully we didn’t cause too much noise. We would 100% recommend this property.
We really enjoyed Andy and the 4 generations of family members staying at Malthouse farm - the fun times together are what it’s all about. The hot tub was well used and enjoyed and the sun shone so it was a great week. Andy and his family were great guests and left the farmhouse in pristine condition - really appreciated. Property Owner

"We had a fantastic week at Malthouse Farm."
Katie and Kevin were fantastic hosts and had thought of absolutely everything to make our stay special, nothing was too much trouble. An extensive welcome pack was provided with lovely personal touches. The house is perfect for families and pets as the garden is large and enclosed and there are so many reception rooms for large groups to spread out and relax. We particularly enjoyed days out to Holkham Beach, Sandringham, Wells-Next-The-Sea and had a lovely meal at The Orange Tree. Wouldn’t hesitate to return. 10/10
It was a pleasure to have Geraldine and her extended family to stay. They were friendly, respectful and the communication between us was straight forward and easy. It was great to know that the house suited the families needs and that good times were had in it and in the surrounding area. They left the house in wonderful condition in terms of prep for our next guests. We would be delighted to see Geraldine and family back and we loved that they had some magical moments together.

"From toasting marshmallows on the firepit to relaxing in the hot tub Malthouse Farm is just the most perfect place for a holiday."
We stayed here in the first week of August and were blessed with brilliant sunshine every day. The house is beautifully furnished and is decorated with lovely subtle colours throughout. It has a French vibe both inside and out, in fact whilst eating croissants for breakfast in the beautiful garden with clear blue skies above and the scent of lavender all around you could be forgiven for thinking you were in Provence. Malthouse Farm has been thoughtfully furnished with comfy beds, beautiful bedlinen, two wonderful cosy lounges with books and games to play during the long evenings and baskets of logs for the open fires. The utility room has a massive fridge/freezer and there is a pantry to store all your groceries, the large kitchen/diner is extremely well equipped with everything that you could possibly need plus a lovely Aga which wraps you in warmth and dries off swimwear in no time at all! We are a family of nine, grandparents, parents and grandchildren and from the lavender fields to the sea the area has something for all ages and everything is within a very short drive or within walking distance. We strolled to the beach at Heacham within minutes and although a little stony, large stretches of sandy shoreline can be found just a short drive from the house at Holme, Thornham and Brancaster. We took a trip on the Wash Monster at Hunstanton to see the seals and we visited the Sandringham Flower Show, sadly the King was not in attendance but Sandringham House and its lovely grounds are well worth a visit at any time of year. We just loved our holiday and would return in a heatbeat. Thank you Katie for your amazing welcome pack and for all your kindnesses whilst we were there ensuring that we had the most perfect time. The house is beautiful in summer but we suspect that it would be equally as gorgeous in winter for long wrapped up walks on the beach and cosy nights spent around the open fires. We will definitely be back! Thank you too to Sykes for your excellent admin in order to facilitate our very last minute break. What a brilliant choice, we cannot recommend this wonderful holiday home highly enough.
Thank you so much for your kind words and review Heather. You were our first booking and have set the bar high. We loved having you, the fact that you were an extended family with 3 generations was special. Our communication with you all was easy and good and we really couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to hosting. We loved hearing you and your families laughing, splashing and having fun and joyous times. Thank you for booking, and sharing our lovely farmhouse, you left it in immaculate condition. We would love to see you in the future. Very best the Greaves family Property Owner
