  • "When we arrived the house was clean, tidy and welcoming."

    Tea and Coffee, milk and Eggs were left for us by Celia the lovely lady who owns it and lives next door. The south facing garden that was fenced off for us and the dogs was neat and tidy. The bedroom was also south facing and had a lovely view. Chickens greeted us in the morning but as we have chickens it made us feel at home. Kitchen was clean and tidy. Big fridge freezer was good, you have to leave the tap on for a bit till the hot water came through but it was hot. I made use of the washing machine but couldn't find any washing powder so bought some Bold and left some in the drawer of the machine ready for the next occupants. TV was good but couldn't find the Radio channels but we didn't mind the quiet of the countryside. A good place to eat is at the Olive Bistro 5mins by car on the A148 towards Cromer. Morrisons superstore and petrol station is mins in the other direction on the A148 towards Fakenham. Some nice walks around little Snoring airfield but it is in use still. Hint if you want the French doors open to the garden shut and lock the front door otherwise the chicken's may come in as the draft opens the front door. The White house and Cottage is currently up for sale and whilst we were there 2 viewings took place but Celia advised us when that would take place so we went weren't around. Holt, Cromer and Cley are lovely places to visit. But when we were their some places weren't open. BUT LANGHAM GLASS is NOT DOG FRIENDLY AT ALL!! Olive Bistro is very dog friendly inside and out. If the house is not sold we will be revisiting again next year.

  • "A very enjoyable stay in a lovely location."

    Our hosts Celia (and Paul) were very knowledgeable about the local area and the advice we received was useful and opportune. Generous welcome pack - incl free range eggs from Celia's chickens! Must recommend the lovely walk (about 2 miles ish) from the Cottage itself to Walsingham - where some excellent pubs are available. The cottage's kitchen was excellent - everything you need for a great stay. The large outdoor enclosed cottage garden was a delight - our small dog loved it. The cottage was very comfortable overall and we would love the opportunity to revisit again. Can wholeheartedly recommend White House Cottage to anyone wanting a good base, near to amenities in Fakenham, but also very conveniently placed for trips Holt, Fakenham (good Fish&Chip shop Nr to Tesco's), Blakeney, Cromer and wider Norfolk coast.

  • "Little gem of a holiday cottage."

    The owner is such a lovely lady - very helpful if you need her but otherwise leaves you to enjoy your holiday. The cottage itself was really comfortable and warm but the log burner is the icing on the cake. Just fabulous. Lovely quiet location but not far from some great towns and villages - Holt and Burnham Market to name a couple - and there are so many fantastic pubs not far away, all with proper chefs so the food is creative and delicious. We had a wonderful week.

  • "We spent Christmas in White House Cottage and had a lovely relaxing time."

    The cottage is really comfortable and the owner was so helpful and friendly. Logs, kindling etc. were all provided which made for a lovely warm and toasty stay. The garden is completely enclosed so was perfect for the dog. The only very small problem was a shortage of general crockery but having spoken to Celia about this, I’m sure has been rectified now. No petty rules for the dog either. We would definitely go back.

  • "The White House Cottage had everything for a cosy and comfortable holiday, including a lovely safe garden where I could relax in the evening with my dog."

    Even on cooler evenings the view from the sofa was relaxing! Spotlessly clean with great facilities, big snuggly towels, loads of places to visit nearby, it was perfect. Highly recommended.

    Ideal for travelling around the coast and the spacious garden was great for the dog. Patio could have done with a sweep but all in all a very pleasant stay.

  • "This is a lovely old cottage with character."

    The garden was amazing and a perfect addition for relaxing in the evening. Everything we could think of was provided with large, fluffy towels and even Sky TV!

    Hello Rachel, Thank you for your feedback it was nice to know we are running along the right lines and you enjoyed most of the cottage but I was a bit miffed on the cleanliness and would be really grateful if you could tell me where we are not as good as we should be as I have a new cleaner and she tries very hard to get everything 100% but is obviously missing some places. Thank you in advance for your help. Celia Property Owner

Where you’ll be staying

FAKENHAM

Norwich 25 miles; Holt 13 miles.

The historic market town of Fakenham is famous for its horse racing and offers a wide selection of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Situated on the River Wensum, half way between Norwich and Kings Lynn it is an excellent, central location for exploring Norfolk. The town holds a popular Thursday market which takes over most of the town centre with local traders and those from further afield selling a wide selection of goods. The town also plays host to a Farmers’ Market, monthly on the fourth Saturday of every month, ideal for stocking up on fresh local produce. Fakenham is a very attractive market town with pretty brick and flint-faced buildings, narrow alleyways and side streets to explore. Often referred to as the Gateway to Norfolk this town really does offer a perfect base for exploring this beautiful county. You are only a twenty minute drive from the coastal towns of Wells-next-the-Sea, Holkham and Burham Overy where you will find miles of pine forests, sandy beaches, salt marshes, tidal creeks and great opportunities for birdwatching. There are some lovely areas of unspoilt countryside and villages and the Holkham Estate has a number of attractions and a fabulous deer park. With so many activities on offer, this area is a fantastic choice at any time of year.
