“Very happy with everything the owner was spot on just enough contact to keep us informed and reassured she was there if we needed her very pleasant lady.”

- Peter, September 2023
Sue September 2023

“Lots of good things about Joy's cottage.”

It is compact with all we needed for us, four adults. The little garden is lovely and the outdoor table and chairs are comfy and we were lucky to be able to use them a lot in September. The indoor seating was not quite as comfortable, but certainly OK for a week's stay. All the instructions were clear and easy to follow. The welcome pack was very well received, a good choice of items. The cottage is well situated in the village and for visiting beaches and Norfolk sites.

“A comfortable cottage with a pleasant garden area.”

Comfortable beds and attractively decorated throughout. Perfect for a week's stay. Very close to both Rose and Crown and Queen Vic pubs as well as The Old Bank, the Old Store and a local Co-op. We would stay again on our next trip to Norfolk.

“A lovely cottage that gave us a comfortable base for our stay in Norfolk.”

Ideally based for touring the North Norfolk coast and close to all facilities in the village of Snettisham.

“Loved it and would return.”

“Really lovely comfortable cottage ideally located for many attractions and wonderful beaches.”

We would certainly return if we visit Norfolk again. The only issue we found is if you have a large vehicle the parking can be quite tight.

- Corinne, May 2023

“The cottage was absolutely lovely and has everything you could want.”

A lovely welcome hamper was provided too. The only negative was that the parking space was a bit tight for our SUV but we managed !!

“The best cottage we have stayed in.”

Joy's Place has everything - so so comfortable, stylishly furnished and decorated, beautifully clean, thoughtful extras like dog towels and a really generous welcome basket. Snettisham is a nice village with a good pub and lovely coffee shop The Old Store. Walking from the door and a good bus service. Recommend Holkham and Castle Rising to visit while you're there - Joy left loads of useful information about the surrounding area. We would definitely return to Joy's place.

“We had the most wonderful week's break in Joy's Cottage.”

This is an exceptionally well maintained and accessible cottage and we cannot fault it. Ideally placed for lovely walks from the door as well as a base for all the lovely places north Norfolk has to offer. We packed in too much to completely list here, and although we had one very rainy day (spent mostly in Burnham Market undercover in the lovely shops and eating in Thornham deli) we also enjoyed some unseasonably sunny and warm weather for November, perfect for long walks along beaches. Thank you Joy for your beautiful cottage, full of everything you need along with some wonderful touches that we kept finding throughout our week. Janet and John Uwins

“We had a lovely stay in Joys cottage.”

The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. We very much appreciated the lovely box of treats Joy left for us as well as our spaniel Charlie. We would certainly stay there again if we are ever back in that neck of the woods.

“We had the most wonderful time at Joy’s Cottage!”

My name is Joy too so it felt extra fun! From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed and excited about our stay. We loved our welcome hamper and the homely decor, everything was spotless and just lovely :) The cottage was incredibly well equipped and Joy was an excellent host (dealing with our single issue very quickly with no inconvenience to us). Joy provided lots of information about things to do all around the area which we made the most of. We enjoyed making special family memories with our kids :) It’s a stunning part of the country to explore and Joys Cottage is the perfect base! We would highly recommend to anyone!

“We had a fantastic time staying at Joy’s Cottage.”

The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. We used the garden courtyard a lot for breakfast, a bbq and cards in the evening. The location was a perfect base for exploring the area and also nice for a potter into Snettisham. Joy was kind and made sure we had everything we needed which helped make our stay wonderfully memorable.

- Jonathan, July 2022

“Our cat, Charlie, loved the garden.”

Our only criticism would be to have a hose and broom for the garden. A lot of dried pigeon poo spoilt the experience. I had to carry the watering can through the house to water the hanging basket and fill the bird bath. As I said though, that's the only criticism. House furnishings were excellent and spotlessly clean We loved it.

- Susan, July 2022

I’m so sorry that this was your experience. Property Owner

“What a great place.”

Tucked away, so it’s close to the centre but quiet. Joy couldn’t have been more helpful. The facilities mark was only because there wasn’t a telly in the bedroom and I thought I saw one in the picture. It’s only a personal thing …but it is something I like.

“Lovely clean cottage with everything you need for a fantastic stay, even dog towels.”

Very comfortable beds. Lovely welcome by Joy.

“Our stay was PERFECT!”

Joy was a great host! Checking we had everything and not leaving anyone out as she left treats for our dog. Xx

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.

Note: Small dogs only accepted and the breed must be specified.
Note: Pets are not allowed to go upstairs.
Note: There is an additional £50 charge for a 2nd dog.
