“All in all a nice cottage in a good location.”

Only let down by the small kitchen.

- Jamie, October 2022
Michael October 2022

“Totally enjoyed our stay at Herbies Cottage.”

The owner left useful information on places to visit and thanks to this we didn't miss out on places to see. The location is ideal and the village is friendly with pubs within walking distance and a Co Op for supplies if needed.

- Michael, October 2022
Lena September 2022

“The bathroom door was annoying as it didn't close easily.”

Otherwise all was good, treats supplied were welcome especially the butterfly cakes.

- Lena, September 2022
Christine September 2022

“This was a lovely cozy cottage well equipped and very clean.”

The only downside unfortunately was the very small garden area.

- Christine, September 2022

Great location. Would highly recommend.

- Teresa, September 2022
Claire September 2022

“Lovely cottage with everything we needed.”

Comfortable and so clean. Perfect for exploring the beaches and villages around. A lovely little welcome gift left for us on our arrival. Would definitely stay here again

- Claire, September 2022
Dawn August 2022

“Lovely little cottage, exactly as advertised, perfect for 2 people and a small dog.”

The owner left us some welcome snacks, contacted us prior to our stay and was available on the phone if needed. Perfect location for exploring the West Coast of Norfolk. Old Hunstanton beach is brilliant for dog owners and families. Snettisham Beach Bar fish & chips were awesome.

- Dawn, August 2022
Judy July 2022

“A lovely little cottage, conveniently located in the centre of the village and for exploring the surrounding area.”

- Judy, July 2022
Andrew July 2022

“Excellent time with the property well reflecting the website entry.”

- Andrew, July 2022
Rebecca June 2022

“Wonderful cottage, just perfect for us.”

Can't wait to visit again. Beautifully decorated, lovely welcome package left by Melanie the owner, very helpful too if you have any questions, she gets straight back to you. Perfect location to explore the beautiful Norfolk coastline, wonderful eateries in the Village, so no need to get back in the car after a long day exploring. Herbies is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We will definitely be returning.

- Rebecca, June 2022
Christine May 2022

“This cottage is perfectly located to really explore the surrounding areas!”

Lovely village pubs serving great food, good dog walks and shop nearby - all a short walking distance. Cottage was cosy and comfortable.

- Christine, May 2022
Nicola April 2022

“Lovely property; had a fantastic stay & would thoroughly recommend.”

- Nicola, April 2022
Zoe April 2022

“Just the right amount of space for two adults and two young children who can share a room.”

Location is brilliant: play park over the road, two good pubs and local co op within 5 mins walking distance plus a fun farm park up the road! If you have young children you’ll appreciate that the Rose and Crown has a good play area in their garden! You can drive to beautiful beaches in 10 - 20 minutes so bring your buckets and spades :-) Cottage is clean and has everything you need. Bathroom is downstairs and only has a shower so bear that in mind if it’s the sort of thing that bothers you. Wood burning stove very appreciated given the unseasonal April weather. A lovely short break away !

- Zoe, April 2022
Laura February 2022

“This was the perfect little stay, in the perfect little place, in the perfect little cottage.”

Our host was the best we've ever had. Thank you!!

- Laura, February 2022
Fiona January 2022

“Lovely cottage, scrupulously clean, nicely equipped.”

Melanie was welcoming by text and kind enough to thank me for leaving the cottage clean at the end of my week. Excellent location for exploring the wildlife reserves locally, good to be able to walk to Snettisham Reserve and Sandringham, leave the car behind. As an environmentalist, my only gripe was the plastic grass, it's micro plastics waiting to happen. But I really enjoyed my stay, thank you.

- Fiona, January 2022
Graham January 2022

“We had such a great timer at Herbies Cottage, really pretty cottage, beautifully decorated and loved the coal fire.”

The owner, Melanie was so helpful and very much on hand for any queries that we had. The cottage is in a lovely peaceful location with a great outlook towards the church and nice and close to the centre of this pretty village with it's great pubs, you must go to The Rose and Crown!

- Graham, January 2022

Hi Graham. Thank you so much. Thank you also for leaving the cottage immaculate. Happy new year. Property Owner
Amy December 2021

“Herbie’s cottage was perfect for our new year stay!”

Calm, cosy and quiet. We can’t wait to come back.

- Amy, December 2021

Hi Amy. Thank you so much for coming and for leaving it so lovely. Happy new year x Property Owner
Marian November 2021

“Beautiful cottage in a lovely location.”

We had a great week staying at Herbies, lots of lovely walks and foodie pubs to visit. Coal fire was a good addition to have on chillier nights!

- Marian, November 2021

Thank you so much for great feedback and for leaving the cottage so lovely. Property Owner
Rosalind July 2021

“This is a little gem of a cottage.”

Sited on a very quiet lane on the edge of a very quiet village it really is a get away from it all place. There is absolutely no noise to be heard - unless the cricket club have got a match over the way on their ground! The cottage is small but was great for just the two of us and our pooch. Everything has been thought out. No dishwasher means you can idly look across to the fields and see the horses while doing the washing up, a downstairs bathroom means no climbing the stairs during the day for the loo! The bed was comfy, bed linen was good quality, shower worked well - can you tell we loved this little place? The only downside for us was the “detached “ garden, it needs to have some of the loving care that has been lavished inside Herbies. There is a small sitting area right outside the back door and it was nice to chat with the friendly neighbours and get tips of where to go, and it gets the sun for most of the day. We were lucky to be there for the heatwave so enjoyed exploring all of the beaches nearby and came home with suntans to rival European holidays after just a week away. We loved Herbies and hope to return, maybe in the winter months when we can enjoy the log burner.

- Rosalind, July 2021
Michael July 2021

“Lovely Cottage with peaceful surroundings and a great location to explore from”

- Michael, July 2021
Joanne April 2021

“The cottage was lovely in a great location.”

Comfortable bed with a cosy feather and down duvet which was perfect. The owner left us milk and some delicious cupcakes and the cottage was very well equipped. I could see no mention in the description of the steep narrow staircase with a sharp turn at the bottom which made it difficult for us mid-70s holidaymakers to manoeuvre the case round and there is no upstairs bathroom/toilet. That combination wasn’t ideal and should be made clear by Sykes in the description for the older holidaymaker to bear in mind. Having said all of that, Herbies is a lovely cottage to stay in and was extremely clean and homely. The owner was very helpful and friendly although we communicated only by message. She messaged to check everything was ok and we had a brief conversation. We would definitely recommend staying at Herbies to enjoy the fabulous Norfolk coast.

- Joanne, April 2021
Julie April 2021

“The cottage was lovely.”

Perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 small children. Fantastic views from most windows.

- Julie, April 2021
Ian October 2020

“The cottage and location were perfect for us.”

A quiet and relaxing break. Thank you for leaving the extra cake and snacks, a lovely touch.

- Ian, October 2020
Patricia October 2020

“Lovely comfortable cottage, very suitable for dog as lovely walks nearby and fenced area near back door ensured safety of pet.”

- Patricia, October 2020
Rachel September 2020

“This is the second time we have visited Herbie’s cottage in two months.”

Perfect little cottage, clean, well- equipped, lovely owner and great location. Will be back. Found a gem.

- Rachel, September 2020
Dean July 2020

“A beautiful idyllic cottage, it was exactly what it the website described!”

A beautiful village in a great location.

- Dean, July 2020
Helen July 2020

“Fabulous cottage, lovely and clean, well furnished.”

Great location for exploring the North Norfolk coast. Lovely village with lots of walks around. Can recommend the Rose and Crown pub for food/drinks - lovely outside area in walled garden.

- Helen, July 2020
Rachel July 2020

“Never been to Norfolk before so enjoyed exploring the area.”

Loved staying in Snettisham and being able to walk to the superb little country pub - Rose & Crown. The cottage was a very cute, comfortable, well-equipped place to stay with a very helpful, friendly owner who made us feel very comfortable and welcome. We have booked to go again already. Thank you Melanie.

- Rachel, July 2020
Susan July 2020

“Herbies cottage was a truely charming oasis of comfort and style, the perfect base for a seaside stay.”

Everything, from the sofa and bed linen to the toaster and wine glasses, was excellent quality and spotlessly clean. We were only sorry that we couldn't stay longer. Sue and Emily..x July 2020

- Susan, July 2020
John March 2020

“The heating system not good.”

Two radiators not working, and there was only one scuttle of coal available,the bunker being empty. Therefore quite cold at times.

- John, March 2020
Samantha February 2020

“Beautiful cottage in super location as provided easy access to all sights.”

- Samantha, February 2020
Martin January 2020

“Missed putting out dustbins as we were not aware suggest a more prominent notice.”

Eimer October 2019

“Very enjoyable holiday, beautiful cottage in a lovely village”

- Eimer, October 2019
Gayle September 2019

“Pretty, comfortable cottage in a beautiful, peaceful village with lots of amenities (pubs, Co-op, pharmacy).”

Lovely bathroom with huge shower and comfortable bed in main bedroom. The duvet is a very thick feather one - maybe need an alternative provided. Cottage has been recently refurbished and has been finished to a high standard. We would have preferred thicker curtains as the bedroom was very bright in the morning with only a roller blind and sheer voiles, but personal preference. Guests should note allocated parking is only suitable for one small car as it's outside the front of the house and the road is pretty narrow. We had a lovely relaxing stay and would recommend this place.

- Gayle, September 2019
Delyse May 2019

“Well-equipped, spotlessly clean cottage.”

Bathroom door needs to close a little better though.

- Delyse, May 2019
Roberta March 2019

“Lovely comfy ,warm cottage.”

Village was convenient as well.. The only drawback , I should have checked myself the fact that toilet etc was downstairs and bedroom upstairs.. So not very convenient for people who have mobility problems .

- Roberta, March 2019
K February 2019

“This is a lovely cottage.”

Highly recommend.

- K, February 2019
C September 2018

“This is a lovely characterful cottage, with quality furnishings and fittings.”

The village is also very nice, with friendly people and all the amenities one needs. There is an excellent bus service if we left the car behind. Great places to visit without travelling too far, excellent pubs and restaurants close by as well as in the village itself.

- C, September 2018
Claire August 2018

“The cottage is amazing well presented, modern, the surrounding are amazing and fabulous.”

shop within a 5 minute walk, playground opposite, farm park 5 minute walk up the bridal path. Fields and allotments at the end of the drive. No noise around so you can relax. It was a much needed and enjoyed holiday would defiantly go back to this cottage.

- Claire, August 2018
Jeffrey June 2018

“A superb cottage renovation, beautifully decorated and furnished.”

The village has two excellent restaurants and the local RSPB nature reserves were superb.

About the location

SNETTISHAM

Heacham 3 miles; Royal Sandringham 4 miles; Hunstanton 5 miles.

Snettisham is a traditional Norfolk village, with many of its houses built from the local iron-rich carr stone, which has an attractive golden-brown colouring. Due to this, the buildings are known locally as “gingerbread houses”. Village amenities include general stores, a Post Office, 2 inns, a bistro and a regular bus service to the bustling, family-friendly seaside resort of Hunstanton and historic King’s Lynn. The church of St Mary sits alone on top of the hill and is certainly worthy of a look inside at the exquisitely decorated tracery flowers on the west window. There is an RSPB bird sanctuary close to the beach, which is three miles away, and the ancient Peddars Way public footpath runs near to the village. Park Farm is on the edge of the village, and is a working farm with year-round activities for all the family, including a 45-minute “deer safari” and the chance to feed some of the animals. The Royal Estate of Sandringham, whose impressive house, gardens and church are open to the public, is nearby, as are the plant farm, tea rooms and gift shop at Norfolk Lavender, England's premier lavender farm.
