"We needed to unwind and do as little as possible, and this was the perfect spot!"
Everything was so comfy and clean, and most stuff we took we with us we didn’t unpack, everything was there! Our hosts said Hi, but other than that left us alone to chill, and the odd cock crow and stag roar made us feel very much in the middle of nowhere and able to recharge! Recommend the Pleasure Boat Inn for a warm welcome and good food, and Hickling Broad if you want to get out on your paddleboard, as we did. We’ll be back!
Thank you for your fabulous and informative review! Sean and Jacqui Property Owner

"Absolutely beautiful lodge, in a wonderful, peaceful setting!"
Everything you could wish for, including a lovely outside area, under the trees, which unfortunately we couldn’t take much advantage of as it rained all week! The bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in, and the owners were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend you stay here if you want a chilled holiday.

"WOW, what more can I say about Willow Cottage."
The location is excellent, although feels like in the countryside it is about 8 mins drive to Potter Heigham. The hosts greeted us on arrival and are so friendly and helpful and can suggest areas to visit nearby both for eating and to look around. There is everything in the cottage you will need to make your stay perfect. The bed is amazingly comfortable, quality bedding, curtains, towels, crockery, cutlery etc. The sofa is really comfortable, plenty of room in the shower. Great lighting throughout, including the outside area whereby you can chill and relax. Plenty of sockets, USB ports and even phone chargers. Coffee, tea, sugar and milk supplied and a lovely bottle of Prosecco too. We felt totally safe. There is lots to do in the area, from hiring a boat, shopping, fruit picking, museums, horse racing, beaches, you will not be stuck for things to do whatever the weather. We would highly recommend this cottage after our 1 week stay, don’t be put off by the low reviews - Shaun & Jac have not long finished making Willow Cottage and advertising this accommodation on Sykes. We will definitely return here. Thank you for a lovely relaxing week. XxX
Thank you soo much for your wonderful review! Pleased you enjoyed yourselves, you were the perfect first guests! Look forward to welcoming you again! Jacqui and Sean Property Owner
