    “We recently stayed at Cosy Cottage and overall had an enjoyable visit.”

    The cottage itself is quirky and full of character, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches on arrival — biscuits, apple juice, and milk were a nice welcome. The cottage is well equipped, with plenty of spare towels, bed linen, a laundry basket, board games, children's toys and other useful extras. The garden is lovely, and the location is peaceful, situated in a charming village that's perfectly placed for exploring Norfolk. Communication with the owner was polite and helpful when ...

    The cottage itself is quirky and full of character, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches on arrival — biscuits, apple juice, and milk were a nice welcome. The cottage is well equipped, with plenty of spare towels, bed linen, a laundry basket, board games, children's toys and other useful extras. The garden is lovely, and the location is peaceful, situated in a charming village that's perfectly placed for exploring Norfolk. Communication with the owner was polite and helpful when needed. That said, there were several aspects that detracted from our stay, particularly considering the price of £800 for the week. The overall cleanliness was disappointing — the kitchen floor was dirty and a used tea towel had been left in the washing machine, The living room floor was also quite dirty - we hoovered before leaving the property and it didn't appear to make any difference. The property had a strong dog smell with noticeable dog hair throughout. While we understand and appreciate that it’s a dog-friendly cottage, we did expect a more thorough clean before our arrival. Additionally, there was peeling paint in the bathroom, some staining on the wall in the single bedroom and other wear and tear which made the place feel a little tired. The upper stable door lock didn’t function when trying to secure it from the outside. We didn’t feel any of these issues required raising during our stay, but they are worth mentioning for the benefit of future guests and awareness for the owner. With more attention to cleanliness and some general maintenance, the cottage has the potential to offer a greater holiday experience and better value for money.
