"What a lovely, cosy, comfortable, clean cottage for 2 and a dog!"
If you are looking for a peaceful holiday, this is ideal. Even being close to Norwich airport, watching the aircraft coming in so close was enjoyable. It's a great base to visit Norfolk. We usually choose 4 night stays, but, on this occasion we were glad we chose 7 nights, such a relaxing time. Would recommend to family and friends.

"We had a lovely stay and would definitely stay there again such a great property"
-
"We enjoyed out stay at Foley everything we needed close to lots of places to visit"
-
"Delightful cottage."
Everything we needed. Would recommend as a 3 night stay although wish we could have stayed longer. Norwich airport is very close so may bother some clients but the plane spotting was good fun.
-
"I was absolutely blown away with Foxley Cottage and am already recommending and planning my next visit."
The property is warm and welcoming and beautifully clean and modern, yet rustic. Thr safe, enclosed garden meant I didn't have to worry about the dog. I also loved the grounds, where I walked the dog, watching the fish in the beautiful pond. When we arrived, there was a pint of fresh milk, some.toilet roll and a packet of delicious biscuits which, as a seasoned self caterer was pleasantly surprised. In terms of location, we were central to all sorts of destinations for day trips, and far enough not to be hassled by the hustle and bustle of a seaside town. I can't wait to go back! Thank you so much for a delightful stay.

"Lovely cottage and the hosts could not have been more welcoming and accommodating."
If you want lovely place to stay you cannot go wrong with these lovely hosts. It is such a shame that they use Sykes to advertise their cottage as Sykes service and support of customers is in stark contrast. We after being customers of Sykes for many years will NEVER use them again. When we explained this to them, they simply didnt care, so be aware if you book this amazing cottage through them and you have any sort of problem.
-
"A beautifully appointed and maintained property."
With excellent facilities to enable you to fully enjoy your holidays. Good quality bedding, comfy bed and excellent shower. Situated in a great location, with easy access to amenities and near to lots of places of interest. Easy to find and lovely fully enclosed outside area with the added benefit of security gates. Hosts were easy to contact and the neighbours very helpful. Would definitely book again.

"Lovely stay, lovely welcome, cottage near perfect, only small thing would of liked a shelf for toiletries and grab rail for shower."
Other then that it was fabulous, loved sitting out side watching the planes go over and just watching nature. Lovely warm cottage and every thing you need for a weeks holiday. My dog was very happy too. The owner put a beauitful christmas tree in the cottage for us and a bottle of bubbly and chocolate. Could not have asked for more. Lovely park for the dog Catton Park 1.6 miles from cottage which we used nearly every day. Very pleasant cottage.
-
"A great place in a secure and ideal location."
Close to the City. Easy reach to coast. Tucked away behind secure gates. Perfect. Amenities and furnishings well thought out We will be back
-
"We had the most wonderful stay at Foxley wood cottage."
Inside and outside the property was smart, clean and beautifully maintained. The decor and furnishings were tasteful and made for a super comfortable stay. Owners were helpful and friendly from the word go. There simply was not anything about the cottage that could be improved. It was perfect.
-
"Foxley Wood cottage is ideally located for exploring Norfolk."
It is characterful and well maintained with its own enclosed gravel and grass area. It contained every appliance needed aside from a dishwasher. The bedroom is spacious and nicely decorated. The only possible negative is it’s close proximity to Norwich airport runway but it didn’t impact on our stay, in fact it was interesting to see the various planes and helicopters at such close quarters.
-
"Each year in October we go to Norfolk to see our friends and relations to give them their xmas cards etc."
To find a lovely place to stay like Foxley Wood was just perfect. It was lovely and clean, comfortable and quiet with everything you require to really enjoy the Norfolk area. We will definitely book this special place again so that we can enjoy a relaxing escape from the speed of normal day life.

Hi the Cottage was lovely and comfortable Unfortunately my wife had a bad fall the day before we came to the cottage and we could only stay for 2 nights due to her pain Yes we would recommend it to friends and family
-
"We had a wonderful week a lovely place to relax and explore."
The cottage was just perfect, it was our first time in Norfolk and we loved every minute off our stay would recommend the cottage to anyone we really enjoyed our stay, thank you
-
"Very enjoyable stay."
Can't fault it.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay here plenty of walking from the cottage ."
Everyone was really friendly. Being on a flight path was not a problem we loved watching the planes fly over. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped the secure garden was great for our dog and the french windows were great but personally would of liked there to of been a window we could of opened as we like to sleep with open window at night .But loved the cottage.would still recommend a stay here though and would return for another stay.

"A wonderful relaxing quite place so close to all the places to visit felt so welcomed and comfortable from the of"
-
"Fab place, will come again, close to everything, garden enclosed for dog, comfy bed , very clean, WiFi good"
-
"Superb, clean and comfortable cottage located close to Norwich and within the grounds of the owners home."
There is a supermarket less than half a mile away in Old Catton and a pub approximately 1 mile from the property in Spixworth. Great location for visiting Norfolk, the coast and the Broads and provides easy access into Norwich via the no 13 and 21 bus routes so do not need to take your car into the city. The cottage is well equipped with its own parking. Highly recommended.
-
"Lovely little place, quiet and comfortable"
-
"We had a lovely time at Foxley Wood Cottage despite the weather."
Very comfortable and clean. Then enclosed garden was great for the dog. Perfect area for geocaching, and would love to come back to complete the Hevingham woodland wander.
-
"Foxley Wood is a wonderful gem of a cottage."
Perfect for two. Great location for exploring Norfolk and Norwich. I highly recommended this cottage and we hope to return to it in the future.
-
"Very nice cottage, convenient for going into Norwich, and also for ease of access to the Norfolk countryside and Broads."
Also, good to have an Asda close by for all important supplies.
-
"Everything about the property exceeded our expectations."
If I was be picky I would say the only 2 things that could of been improved on was it was very limited as to what you could watch on tv during the evenings. A freeview box would of been more than enough. As we had really nice weather it was nice to sit out the front & sit in the sun, though we were very limited as there was enough parking for 3 cars & it would of been ideal if the parking space was cut down a bit & the patio area made a big bigger. As I said, I was being very picky as everything about the property was first class & in such a lovely area.
-
"Well located for numerous excursions around north, central and east Norfolk."
A short car journey to Norwich too. (Norwich is hell to park in though; a great pity as we had to give up on exploring this once so important and prosperous city.) A great many brochures and booklets with information about what to do and see in Norfolk is available in the cottage. The WiFi is excellent. The TV reception is very poor which didn't bother me, Anna, in the least but my partner Keith was disappointed. Well equipped with a large fridge-freezer, a microwave oven, an electric induction hob and oven as well as a washing machine (!) along with basic kitchen equipment, clothes pegs, clothes airer (for drying laundry) and dustpan & brush and other odds and ends. There was 1 pint of milk in the fridge when we arrived as well as a few tea bags, coffee pods and a packet of biscuits.
-
"Really wonderful stay."
My lovable mad Springer Poodle cross and I loved it and felt right at home. We used the cottage as a base to visit family, explore, have some down time, and even do a couple of days work! Managed to cook a roast dinner on Easter Sunday, which went down well. Lovely setting, totally dog safe, very comfortable. Friendly and welcoming owners. Thank you so much for the Easter Egg, milk and biscuits - put a smile on my face as soon as I walked in.
-
"Excellent cozy cottage to explore the area from."
Everything we needed was there with both a comfy sofa and bed. Enjoyed by us very much.
-
"Really lovely cottage, beautifully decorated, with a private outdoor area."
Close to Norwich and also relatively close to the Broads and the coast. I could not get the oven to work, though this may have been due to not understanding the controls, but the kitchen is very well-equipped so it was not a problem.
-
"We loved the cottage, it was so cosy and comfortable."
We want to go back in 2022.
-
"We loved staying here!"
! So cosy and would recommend. Amazing walks close to the cottage too.
-
"The property was brilliant, very comfortable and clean and secluded would definitely recommend"
-
"Many things like baking trays and saucepans need replacing bathroom basin ..."
Many things like baking trays and saucepans need replacing bathroom basin supported by an old wooden sowing machine base tap in basin very stiff and hard to control shower is not great
-
"Lots of places to visit, also lots of lovely walks"
-
"Cottage was everything we’d hoped for."
Lovely secure area for our dog. The one negative was finding it...the NR 10 postcode given took us miles away. The same for the people staying in the neighbouring lodge...who said they had to phone the owners for help. Once we eventually arrived, we then used the NR6 code for the Morrison’s down the road...and always got back to the right area......and if you don’t know the Norfolk roads and lanes, this is quite important.
-
"Foxley Wood Cottage was very comfortable and well planned."
It had all the facilities I need for a weeks stay, and I chose it because of it's location being central to the coastline and other attractions that I wanted to visit. Gary, the owner, was very welcoming.
-
"Lovely little cottage, in a quiet and safe area, not too far from the town centre."
Although it is close to the airport only a couple of planes and helicopters flew over which didn’t cause a problem. Cottage had all facilities making it a home from home. Would highly recommend.
-
"Foxley Wood Cottage was very nice."
Away from the road so you don't see or hear cars going past. Occasionally see an aeroplane come in to land which we loved. A few helicopter s going back & forth to the oil rigs. Other than that it is very very quiet. Owners are very pleasant, they called to see if everything was ok. Everything was nice & clean. It has everything you need except for a small clothes airer. You can wash clothes & hang them out but no airer to put them on... All in all a very nice holiday home.
-
"A great base for seeing Norfolk, location is fantastic,quiet,clean cottage,well equipped, comfortable,secure garden if you have a dog or two, gated secure drive to properties."
Picture is a little deceiving as no flowers in front which would set it off when sitting in the garden. Warm if like us you wish autumn breaks, owners are close at hand if any queries about anything , so very helpful. There is Norwich airport close by so planes are regular as cottage is under the flight path ,but ,moments of noise is all. wildlife is prevalent around the grounds. We have had 4 weeks here in 2019 and will return in 2020. We visit friends and so many places of interest, West Runton Beach is a place to visit ,very interesting history and well kept and organized beach, ideal for dogs to have complete freedom too.
-
"This was the first time we had booked this cottage, as we had an extra person so needed both cottages this time."
Our son was most comfortable and enjoyed his own space and the amenities offered.
-
"We found this was the ideal place for us as we went all over the broads and come back to a quiet and restful evening O and we had good weather to go with it."
-
"Fantastic cottage in a secure, beautiful setting!"
Everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Gated garden/patio for the dog. Ideal location for visiting lots of Norfolk. Would highly recommend and hope to return one day! Don’t be put off by the aircraft taking off/landing at Norwich Airport...we became plane spotters for a week!
-
"This cottage was everything we wanted."
It was cosy for us and our dog, in a lovely location with easy access to the Norfolk Broads.
-
"We have been to foxley wood cottage before and its just such a relaxing retreat in the trees."
Its so safe with the private drive and electric gates. We love the walks and the Morrisons is a nice walk as only half a mile. Our dog just lays on his bed on the patio until midnight. We enjoy watching the aircraft and helicopters coming in for landing. Its a spacious lodge and has all you need to rest and recuperate from busy work loads. There are many things to do and some nice pubs too. We just like the rest and the calm quiet atmosphere. There is a cottage next door and so see the odd car come in but we stayed there before and they are both nice and owned by gary and he's very friendly. They leave you alone so you can enjoy your own break how you wish too. They live next door but its secluded so not at all intrusive. We are back in November this year 2019 and we will book for 2020 as well!
-
"The weather was atrocious at times, so we cut short our holiday, but this had nothing to do with the cottage."
This was a beautiful place to stay, comfortable and quiet. Whole heartedly recommend this place. Mrs Aldcroft
-
"The cottage is situated in an excellent location, no through traffic and countryside views."
The owners were very pleasant and very helpful. There was a welcoming pack of biscuits and milk on our arrival. It is very easy to travel to Wroxham and other Broads. Also from Wroxham, is a miniature steam train return trip of 10 miles to Aylsham, which was very enjoyable. We went by bus to Norwich which was a very interesting city.
-
"Superb location and very comfortable accommodation."
Most relaxing Holiday feel totally refreshed. Would recommend a stay here as near to Norwich and within 30 minutes drive to any seaside location, Sheringham , Cromer etc. Thanks for a Lovely Holiday!
-
"A serene beautiful place to stay, all you wish in a cottage / bungalow."
It is in a secluded gated piece of land with owners next door and ne other lodge on site. The gardens are securely gated and fenced so if taking a dog with you you are secure in the knowledge unless a really small dog it cannot get out.The grounds around are smashing with a huge pond with plenty of fish,ducks and the varied wildlife around is wonderful to observe.One draw back for some would be an airport close by which means a fairly busy fly past by helicopters and planes , but, the only noise is momentary and interesting, night time noise is limited from the airport but can start around 6.30am. We had a lovely week and the weather was gorgeous again, our second time here this year, two more weeks to look forward to.
-
"Foxley Wood Cottage was well appointed, The Owners were very helpful and the milk and biscuits were greatly appreciated after a long journey."
The location of the Cottage was ideal regarding routes to various destinations in the area and Norwich itself, although there are 2 Park & Ride close by that makes it easier to go into the City. The Cottage was very cosy and comfortable and a lot of thought had gone into making it homely We would not hesitate to go back again.
-
"Lovely cottage in a quiet location, very well equipped and comfortable."
Owners very friendly and there if you need them. highly recommend.
-
"Although this had no effect on our holiday we do believe it should be mentioned that you are more or less under the Norwich air-flight path, as I say this did not bother us a we were out and about all day but it could effect others, not everyone from out of the area would realise how near it is."
As for us we enjoyed cottage.
-
"Had a very relaxing time loved the planes the welcome pack was very nice please ..."
Had a very relaxing time loved the planes the welcome pack was very nice please could you provide a long handle sweeping brush as this would make sweeping the floor easier for people with less mobility that can not push the vacuum cleaner the holiday was perfect would love to come again
-
"If you are using a SatNav to find this property make sure its maps are up to date, the Norwich Distribution Road has led to quite a few closures of side roads."
Didn't help that my SatNav did not recognise the post code. Good location for visiting Norwich and the coast.
-
"Its so peaceful and love the plane spotting very exciting We have been to both cottages now and we are back in June 19 and November 19 too we hope."
We could just move in and never go home Its very cosy and comfortable biut probally put on weight cosy meals by celebrity in the jungle. Our dog just loves it as well, hes sad to leave, he like laying on the terrace area and watching the world go by, hes a sha pei and getting on now. So likes the home comforts of a peacefull life sitting on his huge dog bed. Its cosy
-
"Clean, comfortable, warm, well equipped."
Ideal for visiting Norwich by local bus.
-
"Property was just as discribed owners on sight for any problems."
Even though near airport doesn't interfere with noise levels lovely location.will definitely be booking again
-
"Location of foxley lodge was very private,no passing traffic,a few passing planes/helicopter's a day was no problem."
They added a bit extra to the holiday. Sue & Gary are a lovely couple, nothing was any trouble if you wanted anything. If you wanted privacy it was there if you wanted it. Welcome pack was very handy after our 4 day drive up from Spain. Would stay again as it was clean & very comfortable.
-
"We were not told that planes went over was very noisy."
The pebble drive was hard for me to walk on being disabled, the floor boards creaked on every move, we actually came home early as we had ,had enough , the cottage was very dim too much on the walls for a small place. We sure won't be booking this cottage again
-
"The Cottage was ideal for our needs because it is on one level and had a secure area for our dog."
It is ideal for touring Norfolk.
-
"Location of cottage absolutely suited to touring the area."
Owners on hand to provide local knowledge.
-
"Sue and Gary owned the property and lived next door."
They introduced themselves and were extremely friendly and helpful. We had a problem occur that was no fault of theirs but was cured as soon as was physically possible. Brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble.
-
"Visiting national trust and english heritage properties, also privately owned ..."
Visiting national trust and english heritage properties, also privately owned houses in norfolk, the broads were also very interesting
-
"Foxley Wood Cottage is truly lovely, set off the road with its own parking and garden which was perfect for our little dog."
The decor inside is gorgeous with vintage signs and up cycled furniture. If you’re looking for a base to explore Norwich, the Norfolk broads and the coast then I couldn’t recommend this place more.
-
"This was the first time we have been on a cottage holiday and it was in our opinion fantastic, made to feel welcome by the owners, it was quiet and relaxing and we will be going on more cottage holidays."
-
"This is a beautiful cottage placed in the heart of Norfolk with easy access to the centre of Norwich and all the surrounding features of Norfolk including the great coastal towns and boards."
Never more than an hour drive to anywhere in the county, often much less. Also don't be fooled by the close proximity of the airport as you can hardly hear any of the planes coming and going, in fact most of us who live near a road hear more of general traffic, which is what you don't hear here as it is set back from the road some 70m or so. The owners are most welcoming and always concerned about their visitors' comfort so don't hesitate to ask if you need anything. We are looking forward to our next visit for another relaxing time in Norfolk. Many thanks Sue and Gary.
-

The welcome pack of bread milk and biscuits was very much appreciated. It was comfortable and warm and we wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

"The cottage was clean, comfortable plenty of space with great facilities."
It made the perfect base to explore Norfolk. The owners were friendly and welcoming.
-
"The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed."
Although not in the prettiest location it was well paced for touring the area.
