• "Beautiful one bedroom cottage as described."

  Okay the stairs are steep to the bedroom, but hey, it’s an old cottage and that’s how they were. The cleanliness was first class, and the bathroom was big and spacious, also the bedroom was a good size as well. Wi-Fi was great with no issues. Only thing I would change, and this is being picky- I would prefer a washing machine than a dishwasher, especially if staying for two weeks. Do try the Saturday market in town 2 minutes walk away, the dog friendly Red Lion pub also 2 minute walk away serves beautiful food. Rosemary the owner (a very nice lady) stopped by to make sure everything was okay. All in all I would definitely recommend Flint Cottage for a stay in Norfolk.

• "Flint Cottage was very comfy, we liked the location which meant the market place and shops were in walking distance, the kitchen was well equipped and everywhere well maintained."

  We were fine but the stairs are a bit steep and headroom a bit low in places but I am 6ft and didn't bump my head. We appreciated the info pack on local amenities but only staying for a weekend didn't make full use of the suggestions- return visit needed!

• "Lovely cozy , immaculate cottage with nice area to sit outside on a nice night."

  Cottage is an old building beautifully converted which adds to it's charm but steep stairs could be a problem for someone with mobility issues. As mentioned in previous review advertised as 10am check out but later request was 9.30 am which we found a little early. Great cottage though and perfect for visiting the area.

• "A lovely comfortable cottage situated in a good location within a few minutes walk of the quaint market town of Swaffham."

  A good base for exploring North Norfolk. Don't miss the market on Saturday mornings. The cottage had everything we needed and although along the roadside, it was a very quiet road, and the outlook from the front door was very pleasant. Even had a visit most evenings from the neighbouring peacock.

• "Lovely little cottage, ideal for a week away in the area, convenient for local shops, restaurants and cafe's."

  The only drawback for facilities was there was no hooks for coats and anywhere to put boots on after walking, especially if it had been raining and muddy.

  We loved it! So clean and cozy. The attention to detail and the lovely gestures made it really special. Christmas tree, decorations, bubbly, biscuits, tea, coffee and milk all on arrival. So thoughtful. Thank you so much Rosemary and Nikki.

• "Flint cottage is delightful, very well appointed and tastefully decorated."

  Exactly as advertised. It was lovely to arrive to see that it was already beautifully decorated for Christmas and a very gratefully received welcome pack! Rosemary, the owner, was amenable and quick to respond to any queries. Flint cottage is highly recommended.

• "We had a great time at the cottage, ideally located for walking into Swaffham."

  We travelled out to the coast and several auctions ( Diss and Watton auctions are excellent), in November the roads were devoid of traffic, what a bonus!! Would fully recommend staying at Flint Cottage, but if you struggle with steep narrow stairs this could be an issue.

• "We had a good week, the cottage was lovely."

  There were one or two things we thought needed clarifying. The listing said there was a BBQ available, when we enquired there wasn’t. The listing says check out by 10am, in the cottage it states check out by 9.30am. The listing said ok to take dogs, in the cottage it says for dogs not to go on the furniture or upstairs. Although we didn’t take our dog, we felt these stipulations should be made clear in the listing. The dining table top came off and wasn’t fixed to the frame, so slid about

• "Very well equipped cottage."

  The bed was extremely comfortable. Only a few minutes walk to the town centre. There are a number of independent shops there, including a couple of butchers, fruit and vegetables, a pet shop. Also cafes, restaurants and pubs. The Saturday market is great. The road outside the property can get busy but it didn’t disturb our sleep. Enjoyed our stay and it’s dog friendly too.

• "Only small problems were the TV which kept cutting out, and the timer on the central heating that kept sticking."

  These were brought to the attention of the owner at the time. They certainly did not mar our time spent at the cottage. A very quaint place ideally situated just a couple of hundred yards from the market place in Swaffham.

• "This is a lovely place to stay, nice size for two and in a good location."

  The cottage has steep stairs going to the upstairs which are a part of the character of the cottage but some may find them difficult to climb, I Would stay again A future suggestion from me would be to put electric car charging points in the carport area to cater for the people with electric cars.

• "Lovely cottage and Swaffham is a great little town with very friendly people,would recommend the Greyhound pub for a drink super friendly staff ."

  The cottage would just benefit for some comfy garden chairs or deckchairs and a better shower head as it was very small and therefore brutal . A lovely stay though in a great location.

• "Lovely property, close to the centre of the historic Market Town."

  Locals very friendly. Pubs welcoming with good food. Lots of places to visit. Lots of dog friendly walks. We live in a quiet rural area, where after about 8pm, cars are rare. We were not bothered by the traffic noise from the road in front of the cottage. That road was fairly quiet after about 7pm. The stairs in the property are steep, so you do need to be quite agile.

• "Great location for Swaffham and visiting North Norfolk."

  The cottage has everything you're need for a home from home experience. The courtesy call from the owner was a lovely touch. Plenty of walks in and surrounding for the dog to be let off the lead and a field across the road perfect for early or late pooch walks. Be careful on the stairs in the cottage as they are steep and narrow.

• "There were no instructions about the heating system."

  We eventually found a mobile temperature controller. The oven door was dirty. A lack of oven trays. The shower screen kept opening while showering allowing the water to fall outside the bath onto the floor. The wifi signal was appalling because the router wasn't within the premises. 3mbps download! We resorted to phone signal which was 10 times faster. The cottage smelt of dog. There were room fragrance sticks around the cottage which gave us a headache so we put them in a cupboard until we left.

• "Had a wonderful stay in Flint Cottage."

  It was extremely, clean, tidy and comfortable. It had all the amenities to have a home from home stay. The local town was a 5min walk with shops, restaurants and bars, so no need to drive to have a meal and drinks. The only thing I would point out is the stairs within the cottage were very steep and narrow, which was not a problem for myself or my partner, but may be for others. Would definately stay again.

• "We went at Christmas and the cottage was surprisingly dressed for Christmas, I don't think it said that in the description but it should!"

  - with an imitation tree lit up and festive goodies crackers, sweets, biscuits left for us and much appreciated. The stairs were steep and twist around, as it says in the description but there aren't many to climb. The cottage was warm and cosy. A well equipped kitchen apart from cloths to wipe the kitchen surfaces. Great to have the lawn and garden for the dog, which we always cleared up after. Would be even nicer and safer for children and animals, if the garden area and gravel paths in front of the cottages had been enclosed with a small picket fence and gate, from the double car port area. The noise from the road was heard but as we went Christmas it wasn't very busy, it was nice to hear the church bells. Swaffham has everything one needs really even a Waitrose! Very impressed with the North Norfolk coast and Sandringham Estate. we may return! Many thanks to the owners.

• "This is a lovely cottage with a beautiful lawned garden at the rear."

  It is relatively spacious and well-equipped and has a lot of character. It is within very easy walking distance of the town centre but is unfortunately on a reasonably busy road that means that the bedroom window opens out not onto the peaceful garden but onto this busy thoroughfare. However the road is quite quiet at night. The owner Rosemary popped around twice during our week to check we were OK, which was nice and also offered advice on places to visit. We had a wonderful time and would consider going back.
