“A wonderful cottage in a peaceful rural location.”

Clean, comfortable and very well equipped to an exceptionally high standard. The owners, Tony and Wendy, proved to be great hosts and I would definitely be happy to stay in either of their two cottages when next in the King's Lynn area. Thank you.

“The cottage was lovely and clean and had most things you would need during your stay However there was crockery with chips in them , the shower doesn't work properly ,the bed in the master bedroom was noisy when you turned over also one of the windows in there didn't open.”

The outside space had a proper washing line which was fantastic but no privacy,and it's the first cottage we've stayed in that didn't provide even a basic welcome pack eg milk etc we always have everything with us but could cause issues for people who don't as cottage not close to shops It was a lovely cottage but not for us the owners appeared friendly and not intrusive

“Absolutely superb property !”

Very modern with a country feel, everything is thaught of that you may need. All on one level so was perfect for our elderly grandmother and the hosts are lovely, they couldn't do enough for you. Lovely, rural and very quiet and only 10 mins to central Kingslynn. We will definately be returning and thoroughly enjoyed our break.

“We are currently staying at Sunnyside for 8 weeks, between house moves and loving every minute.”

(2 weeks left) Spent Christmas here and had every facility to cook and bake. The underfloor heating is wonderful and Wi-Fi very fast. Beds are comfy and bathroom is super modern. I'm loving the integrated kitchen too and highly recommend Sunnyside if you are looking for a peaceful place with fantastic views. I just cannot praise Sunnyside enough and would give it 20 out of 10 if I could!!

“Stayed 23/09/22 untill 30/09/22 We both really enjoyed our time here , the property felt like luxury to us, we very much liked the practical layout, and the quality of the furniture and fixtures within.”

“Our second stay at sunnyside, perfect location for peace & quiet, but still close to Kings Lynn & other places of interest (Castle Rising & Gressenhall.”

) Lovely views, clean & tidy cottage that is very well equipped - very friendly owners. Highly recommend.

- Sandi, August 2022
Kerry August 2022

“We had a fantastic stay at Sunnyside Cottage.”

It was modern, comfortable and exceptionally clean. The only minor criticism we would make is that the bed is very noisy and that meant we were both scared to move in case we woke the other up! Overall the cottage is gorgeous and the owner was so lovely and welcoming. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Sunnyside again. Thank you !

- Kerry, August 2022
Sue July 2022

“The cottage was lovely but very remote it would have been nice if there had been a separate toilet it could get a bit busy if four people were staying there.”

I find it strange that you are not offered clean sheets and towels when you stay for two weeks.

- Sue, July 2022
Tony July 2022

“A lovely place to stay, would definitely recommend and would stay again.”

Bed was a bit squeeky and mattress uncomfortable, otherwise top marks!

- Tony, July 2022
Michael June 2022

“Lovely Place but very little local information available, this meant that we never found the local facilities until the day we were leaving.”

- Michael, June 2022

“Nice and relaxing.”

Spacious and well equipped.

Roy March 2022

“Was surprised there wasnt a welcome pack, wasnt even a pint of milk.”

We have stayed at numerous properties over the years & its been the first time there has been nothing. No information pack, didnt know where the nearest shop was ( still dont, picked up supplies on days out). Bed really squeaky, needs looking at, also kitchen extractor makes a right racket. Very basic in kitchen equipment, no potato peeler & hardly any cookware. Its a shame as it could be a first class property

- Roy, March 2022

“Lovely place, clean and comfortable.”

Jacqui January 2022

“We had an enjoyable and relaxing stay at this perfectly sited accommodation.”

So quiet, very warm and in a good situation for visiting north Norfolk. It had everything you needed, and more, and we would definitely come back again.

- Jacqui, January 2022
Stephen December 2021

“A superb spacious cottage.”

The property is beautifully maintained through out. It benefits from a wonderful view of rural Norfolk and although set in a truly rural location is only minutes from historic Kings Lynn and also easily within reach are Sandringham Royal Estate, the Victorian seaside town of Hunstanton and the North Norfolk coast. Should you stay at the cottage during the colder months of the year (as we did in December) it is very warm and comfortable with underfloor heating throughout. Should any problem occur with the property (we had absolutely none) Tony and his wife live next door and are very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this property to all!!

- Stephen, December 2021
James November 2021

“We had a lovely weekend at Sunnyside cottage, it was perfectly located for us for visiting family in Norfolk and had very thing we needed.”

It’s wonderfully spacious but nice and cosy too. We will definitely be booking again for another visit.

- James, November 2021
Ann November 2021

“A lovely property, very warm and cosy, comfortable and well equipped.”

Very convenient location for exploring North Norfolk and coast. Even went to Sandringham to see “Illuminate” which was a spectacular light show in the park and a great way to start Christmas celebrations. The photographs do not do the cottage justice as it’s even better than we expected. Location is quiet and rural with lovely local walks. We had a glorious sunny week so the property lived up to its name with beautiful sunrises and sunsets across the big skies. Added plus we could charge our hybrid electric car easily. Had a Morrison’s delivery for basics on arrival plus used all the wonderful farm shops for vegetables, meat and fish. We would certainly stay here again on our next winter bird watching trip.

- Ann, November 2021
Nicola October 2021

“A great stay with everything that we needed.”

Close enough to my sister in laws that we could visit daily if needed but also great for getting to the beach (Hunstanton, shops Kings Lynn) would definitely book again and may well in the future. Owner was very friendly and helpful.

- Nicola, October 2021
Avril September 2021

“No except it was very difficult to find as the sign for sunnyside cottage could not be seen from the roadside.”

It needs to be bigger and more obvious as you travel along the track

- Avril, September 2021
Janet August 2021

“The cottage had everything you could need for a comfortable stay and was very spacious.”

We have stayed in many self catering cottages in recent years and this is by far the best for the reasons mentioned.

- Janet, August 2021
Simon July 2021

“The house was clean and tidy and well located.”

Owner was friendly and had helpfully installed an outside electric socket, so I could connect and slow charge my electric car. Bonus was the wind turbine on site that produced zero carbon power! The beds were comfortable but the double bed in the master was a bit squeaky. The kitchen was well equipped but the pot and pans were in need of updating due to wear and tear. Some more non-metal utensils would be useful to avoid scratching.

- Simon, July 2021
Julia July 2021

“Lovely place for a very quiet stay even had dear and birds of pray out the front ...”

Lovely place for a very quiet stay even had dear and birds of pray out the front of the property and very central for places to visit

- Julia, July 2021
Lesley May 2021

“Very comfortable stay.”

Wendy and Tony are lovely host. Cottage is extremely well equipped. Internet intermittent. Very quiet and peaceful. Good for touring the local area (close to Sandringham, etc).

- Lesley, May 2021
Charlotte October 2020

“The pictures of the cottage really do not do it justice.”

The kitchen was brilliantly equipped and the lounge area was really very cosy. A gorgeous bathroom and the bedrooms are a great size and with all you need for your stay. The underfloor heating was lovely. After staying here I want this in my own home! No issues with WiFi as per other reviews. Just a really nice visit.

- Charlotte, October 2020
Sally September 2020

“The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped.”

The owners sorted out a couple of minor issues (eg replacing light bulb) very promptly but were unable to get the wifi working. This was not working the entire time we were there which was inconvenient for us but might be a major headache for another guest. It was nice to have a small enclosed garden which was sunny. This is right next to the owners' garden so you get to meet their dogs (through the fence). There is lots to do in the local area. We also found a couple of good pubs in a nearby village.

- Sally, September 2020
Benjamin August 2020

“The cottage was really well kept, and finished to a good standard.”

The grounds are really nice and the surrounding countryside is beautiful! My only negative was the lack of WiFi, which was advertised but was down during the whole week, in keeping with the comments from other people who have stayed there.

- Benjamin, August 2020

Yvonne September 2019

“The cottage was perfect.”

It is a great location to visit lots of places in Norfolk. Sandringham was only 10 minutes away, and that’s a lovely day out. Would go back again to stay at the cottage as we were only there for 3 days

- Yvonne, September 2019
David August 2019

“Sunnyside Cottage was a converted barn but done to a very high standard, comfortable although not cosy.”

Location was good for exploring North Norwich and beyond.

- David, August 2019
Geoffrey June 2019

“It was not made clear in the ad.”

that there would be some interaction with people around the cottage. There was no problem, but it would have been better to know beforehand. Otherwise everything was fine, with friendly people.

- Geoffrey, June 2019
A April 2019

“We have stayed in your cottages over many years this cottage is one of the very best”

- A, April 2019
J B November 2018

“Rarely do you find a property where the photos don’t do it justice.”

This is a lovely rural property on a gated farm. The owners are on hand should you require anything and nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend.

- J B, November 2018
Emma October 2018

“We had a wonderfully relaxing time, this is a wonderful base to explore beautiful Norfolk.”

Wendy & Tony really went the extra mile to ensure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay, from the tea, coffee, milk & kids drinks to board games & books for those rainy afternoons. We will definitely be back for another stay.

- Emma, October 2018
Paul September 2018

“The owners are very welcoming and helpful.”

The cottage is very spacious and well equipped, and in a peaceful location, ideally situated near to Kings Lynn and all amenities. There are many historical places of interest to visit, including the National Trust and Sandringham. It is within easy reach of the North Norfolk coast and there are two heritage railways just about an hour away if you fancy a steam train ride. (NB. Stated location of the holiday cottage is 2 miles along Setch Road from the A10. In reality the cottage is just 1 mile, so you could easily miss the turning into the drive).

- Paul, September 2018
Stuart September 2018

“The cottage was well located for visiting the local area.”

The property was exceptionally clean with an excellent standard of decoration and facilities and plenty of storage space. The bathroom was well sized. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with a good outside area for sitting out. The owners were friendly and offered a very warm welcome on arrival. Parking was ideal at the front of the property. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a property in the area.

- Stuart, September 2018
Heather July 2018

“The owners were very welcoming and helpful.”

The photos definitely do not do the accommodation justice. They don’t capture the size accurately.

- Heather, July 2018
Stephen July 2018

“Sunnyside Cottage is well looked after and well maintained.”

The owners are very friendly people and are very welcoming. I would extremely recommend here based on location, excellent facilities, cleanliness, comfort and space. We will book again for sure.

- Stephen, July 2018
Vincent June 2018

“Some of the cooking pans i think needed changing just let things down”

- Vincent, June 2018
Catherine January 2018

“Booking online was so quick and easy with no hidden extra costs.”

The cottage was warm and cosy, well equipped and comfortable. It is ideally situated for visiting this area. The owners are lovely, friendly but unobtrusive. We especially loved visiting RSPB Titchwell Marsh where we watched the Marsh Harriers displaying and courting, as well as many other beautiful birds. As no boat trips run in January we drove an hour and a half to Horsey beach to see the thousands of grey seals up close, an unforgettable experience. And we thoroughly enjoyed visiting Langham Glass in Fakenham to watch the artisans at work, keeping old skills alive and producing incredible objects. Altogether a soothing and relaxing time.

- Catherine, January 2018
Andrew September 2017

“Great cottage for exploring West Norfolk.”

Everything you need for a comfortable break

- Andrew, September 2017
Sue August 2017

“We liked the open plan as we had a wheelchair user which made it much easier for us.”

The facilities were lovely and the environment very peaceful. It was well located to the places we wanted to visit so all round perfect for us.

- Sue, August 2017
Samantha March 2017

“A friendly welcome and an absolutely spotlessly clean cottage.”

Lovely peaceful location, on a farm, yet only minutes from the town of kings Lynn. We stayed for a week and had everything we needed. Will definitely be booking again.

- Samantha, March 2017
Kathy September 2016

“Lovely cottage beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean.”

The owners gave us a very warm welcome. The location was quiet but within reach of interesting places such as Sandringham Kings Lynn and the very beautiful Wells-next-the-Sea. We would highly recommend this cottage and will definitely book it again.

- Kathy, September 2016
John July 2016

Wonderfully located for seeing important sites in East Anglia.

- John, July 2016
Sheila June 2016

“A lovely place to stay.”

On arrival we were made very welcome by the owner and we had a great week there with all the wildlife that we saw. It was great to get around Norfolk from there also. We will be booking again and highly recommend it to everyone.

- Sheila, June 2016
Sally December 2015

“We arrived at the cottage and were very pleasantly surprised with how well equipped it was.”

Plenty of cutlery, crockery, books and games as well as the cot and high chair we had requested. The owners couldn't have been more helpful, checking we had everything we needed. The location was great for us as it was close to family and friends. We enjoyed staying somewhere so rural. An amazing, homely, spacious property and we will definitely stay again.

- Sally, December 2015

There are two warm bedrooms—a king-size and a twin—and a fabulously stylish bathroom where you can unwind with a lengthy soak following a full day of exploration. If you can tear yourself away, treat your loved ones to a trip to the Lynn Museum or True's Yard Fisherfolk Museum for an educational outing, or stop by the impressive Red Mount Chapel before enjoying a picnic in Gaywood Park.
