"The best cottage we've ever stayed in."
The cottage was spotless, well equipped and very comfortable. The garden was well-maintained and safe for the dogs.We had a very generous welcome pack and fresh eggs provided by the owner although I was disappointed not to hear a cockerel. Being an early riser myself, I love to hear them welcoming the day. She answered our queries promptly and was very helpful with local knowledge.We had a wonderful week despite the grey dismal weather and most of the attractions being closed due either to the time of year, maintenance or preparing for Christmas extravaganzas.
thsnkyou for your lovely feedback Property Owner

"Owner of this cottage has obviously gone out of their way to provide anything a visitor may need."
Best equipped kitchen I've experienced in a holiday cottage - if we needed something it was there. Books,DVDs,games for those who forget to bring. Loo rolls, tissues, soap dispensers, enough towels (goodness there are never usually enough of those) and they were nice and soft. And of course there were the thoughtful dog treats, welcome basket, fresh milk and eggs. Cottage was well maintained, comfortable and scrupulously clean. We are grateful that such a very nice cottage would welcome our 4 dogs and trust we left the property looking as good as when we arrived. Area is a lovely place to visit - this review is on the cottage only. We had a great break.
thankyou for your wonderful feedback and leaving the cottage lovely and clean. so happy you both and doggies enjoyed your hols. shame you didn't want it published as it a great feedback . many thanks again Property Owner

"A wonderful stay at Rose Cottage for the two of us and two dogs."
The cottage was spotlessly presented and very comfortable and every possible need was catered for and was also warm and cosy. Super location for visiting family and friends in Cambridgeshire, plus a trip to Ely as well as up to Cromer, Old Hunstanton and the North Norfolk coast. The Welcome Pack of goodies, including the dogs was lovely and also the greetings from Sally We couldn't recommend Rose Cottage more highly.

"We absolutely loved the cottage."
It was like a home from home. The village is lovely, a perfect base to visit so many beautiful places in Norfolk- Sandringham, the seaside and national trust properties too. Sally, the owner, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We had a wonderful time, even though the weather wasn’t that great, it didn’t matter. I highly recommend this lovely cottage and if I could give 15 stars, then I would. Thank you for everything.
wow thankyou for a wonderful review.it was lovely to meet you all.take care.xx Property Owner

"The cottage is set in a lovely little village, there is a corner shop, a Chinese take-away, a kebab and pizza cafe and the nearest pub is 10 mins walk."
The cottage itself had all you needed. Bedding, towels and cleaning equipment. The interior was spotless. There are lots of books and games to entertain yourself, even a T.V. and videos. It has a long back garden with deck chairs at the suntrap end of the garden, at the lower end of the garden is a wooden bench table where you can take a rest from the sun and drink a cold beer. It was so relaxing and the setting was great. Sally the keeper of the cottage welcomed us with a gift of fresh eggs and a basket of goodies, a perfect start to a perfect holiday. Thank you.

"Rose Cottage is immaculately presented with all the facilities you could want."
The enclosed garden was perfect for our lively spaniel with a choice of garden furniture for ourselves. The cottage is located with easy access to the fens and coast along with a number of local countryside and riverside walks. The owner Sally left a fabulous welcome pack, milk and fresh eggs. Who could ask for more?

"A very spacious cottage and large secure garden, in a pretty village."
Very dog friendly property. Well equipped kitchen but could perhaps do with a larger saucepan, if cooking for six people. Very nice welcome pack. All the necessities catered for, regarding hand soap, washing up liquid, toilet rolls, coffee, tea, milk, etc. on arrival, very thoughtful. We would highly recommend, if you want a dog friendly holiday. Tracy

"Disappointing."
Living room is quaint but the huge stains on the armchairs and sofa is off putting. Kitchen was OK, managed to find just two cereal bowls for three of us. No tumblers for drinks, just an array of random pub pint glasses. No adequate freezer space which is difficult when staying for a week, needs a full size fridge freezer. Bedrooms were adequate, upstairs bedrooms the mattresses were incredibly hard and uncomfortable, we ended up all sleeping in separate rooms as the double bed was so small my husband and I were virtually sleeping nose to nose. There is plenty of room for a king size bed in the main room, no idea why there isn't one. The stairs to the upper bedrooms was like a ladder, I very much doubt anyone with mobility issues could manage them. The on road parking it should be noted is on a narrow road and only enough parking for one car really. Garden was good for the dogs as there is a covered part near the back door. Overall just a little shoddy, mismatched furniture and decorations which made it look tatty and cheaply put together, peeling paint on the wall in the main bedroom, dated and stained furniture. OK for a couple of nights but not a week.
Wow sorry you weren't happy. Cereal bowls there are ten of. There are no stains on my furniture as it has just been cleaned. Tumblers there are 6 of. Sorry I couldn't please you with the mattress as everyone likes different types. The cottage is very old, hence the stairs, good thing we have downstairs bedroom for anyone with mobility issues. The road is not narrow room for 2 buses to pass. So surprised with your feedback, as when I called to welcome you you had nothing but praise for the cottage Property Owner

"Lovely cottage and welcome pack and treats for dog's but do think the downstairs ..."
Lovely cottage and welcome pack and treats for dog's but do think the downstairs bedroom would be better as a double for when just adults use the cottage as you already have a twin upstairs but over all nice cottage and would go back as great enclosed garden for you and your dogs and walks nearby including a lovely forest

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rose Cottage."
Have stayed in a few cottages and this was by far the best. The owners are lovely people and we even got to meet their pygmy goats, they are so cute! Very comfortable and clean which to us is a priority and also totally safe enclosed rear garden, keeping furry friends safe. Ideally situated to visit the beautiful county of Norfolk. We would highly recommend a stay in the delightful Rose Cottage.
Thankyou so much for your great feedback.it was lovely to meet you both and so happy you enjoyed your hols.thanks again for leaving the cottage beautifully clean,much appreciated. kind regards sally and John. Property Owner

Sally is a wonderful host, she sent us a message before arrival with check in details and greeted us personally. We arrived to a very generous welcome pack which was so welcoming. The cottage was so cosy, it really felt like home. Everything was provided you could possibly need. It was very dig friendly with dog bowls and dog treats provided in the welcome pack. The location was ideal a lovely village, so peaceful and quiet and great to explore from. Highly recommended.

"We spent a very relaxing and enjoyable week at Rose Cottage which is beautifully maintained, with every home comfort."
The owner Sally has thought of everything, and was a welcoming and friendly presence when we first arrived. The cottage is situated on a no-through road and is very quiet and peaceful; our dogs loved the garden, and were made to feel as welcome as the human holiday-makers.
Thankyou for your lovely feedback,so happy you all had great stay,hope to see you in the future. Give those lovely collies big hugs from me.x Regards sally Property Owner

"Spent a relaxing week at Rose cottage."
Well equipped everything we needed. We loved the log burner especially following a day out sight seeing. Beds comfortable. Having bedroom downstairs next to the bathroom was handy as my partner has walking disability. Thank you Sally for the basket of goodies.

"We thought Rose Cottage was lovely."
It was incredibly warm and cosy. It was nice to be somewhere so quiet and peaceful. The cottage was well stocked and had everything we needed for cooking. It was great having a washing machine, drier, dishwasher. The welcome basket of eggs, chocolates, biscuits and hot cross buns was so thoughtful. They also provided milk and tea/coffee which is always the first thing guests want after a long journey. It was also nice to be welcomed by the owner when we arrived. She let us know where she was if we needed anything, but wasn't intrusive after this. The only minor issue we had was a lack of cupboard space for food and the small fridge but after some rearranging, we made enough space. The single beds in the downstairs room were too soft for the guests staying in there but you can't please everyone!

"Beautiful cottage, everything you need provided."
Lovely welcome pack.Owner very helpful on local walks, shops etc unfortunately due to building work next door lighting fires most of the day creating lots of horrid smoke and blasting music all day we didn't make the most of the fantastic garden. Would stay again so don't let that put you off as it can't be helped however wasn't as relaxing as I'd have liked due to this.

"Went to rose cottage for a short break with my two teenage sons, and my elderly parents."
My dad has mobility issues so having the bedroom and bathroom downstairs was ideal for him. We arrived on Sunday 14th August and stayed for 3 nights as part of my parents special birthday celebrations. I wish we had booked for longer! The cottage was easy to find and we had no problem parking. The massive enclosed back garden was amazing for our 3x very small dogs. The cottage was spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable. Everything you needed was there to use. The little food hamper was a lovely touch on our arrival, especially the milk. Arriving Sunday evening we really appreciated that. The only thing I would suggest was some fans, especially for the upstairs bedrooms. The heat wave made upstairs very very hot for sleeping. ( although I appreciate that’s not a normal occurrence) The cottage was well located for days out in Norfolk. I would most definitely recommend the cottage as a place to stay, wouldn’t hesitate in re booking to stay again. Thankyou for letting us stay x

"We had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage with our 3 little chihuahuas who loved the enclosed garden It was a very well equipped cottage and very homely We only got to use the downstairs area (our choice) and the beds were really comfortable and it gave us a chance to sample bungalow living which is the reason why we are so late with our review we have been very busy packing up to move to a bungalow!"
Although we only stayed at Rose Cottage for a few day's we found a few lovely places to take the dog's and ourselves to As soon as we are settled in our new home we will definitely be researching the local area a bit more and booking Rose Cottage again We have already spoken to our friends about this lovely little cottage Thank you again for a lovely stay and a lovely welcome pack for us all
