    “Loved the location & the large secure garden was perfect for the dogs.”

    The cottage was clean & well equipped with pots & pans. It could benefit from having more than one serving of cutlery (knives, forks & spoons). The kitchen & lounge were spacious & very comfortable. The downstairs bedroom & bathroom had an unusual layout, in so much you had to go through the lounge, kitchen & hallway to access the bathroom which was a bit inconvenient during the night.

    The cottage was clean & well equipped with pots & pans. It could benefit from having more than one serving of cutlery (knives, forks & spoons). The kitchen & lounge were spacious & very comfortable. The downstairs bedroom & bathroom had an unusual layout, in so much you had to go through the lounge, kitchen & hallway to access the bathroom which was a bit inconvenient during the night. However both bathrooms had great showers. The upstairs bedrooms were in the roof space so getting to the double bed in particular was a little cumbersome as you couldn’t walk full height. The heating system was very efficient & even on a cold wet November weekend we didn’t need to make use of the wood burning stove. We didn’t make use of the hot tub until the 2nd night. It had only been set to 32 degrees so we were only able to stay in it for a very short time. We fiddled with the temperature hoping by the following morning it would have increased. Unbeknown to us we had put it into sleep mode so the temp hadn’t improved. We got in touch with the owners who responded quickly to resolve the issue & by the afternoon we were able to fully enjoy the hot tub, which was ideal. Overall, a few niggles but location, space & cleanliness made up for it. An enjoyable weekend.

About the location

DEREHAM

Fakenham 12 miles; Norwich 18 miles; King’s Lynn 27 miles.

Just a stone’s throw from the A47, located in central Norfolk, is the popular market town of Dereham (known locally as East Dereham) with a heritage dating back to Saxon times. Today Dereham enjoys excellent local amenities, which include Bishop Bonner’s Cottage Museum, the magnificent 13th-century church of St Nicholas, along with a wide selection of high street shops. On the edge of Dereham you can enjoy a journey on East Anglia’s longest heritage railway - the Mid Norfolk Railway, with steam and diesel trains to choose from. Just outside Dereham you can step back in time with a visit to Gressenhall Rural Life Museum and discover what traditional country life was like in Norfolk. At North Elmham, visit the ruins of a Saxon cathedral and on the outskirts of Fakenham, visit Pensthorpe, a bird lover's paradise and host of BBC Springwatch. Within easy travelling distance from Dereham you can explore Thetford Forest, the village of Sandringham which boasts Sandringham House, the cathedral city of Norwich and the historic maritime town of King’s Lynn. Spend a day or two visiting Norfolk’s wonderful varied coastline, offering both sandy and shingle beaches, traditional seaside towns with entertainment, quaint coastal villages with pretty flint cottages and fishing harbours dotted with sailing boats. A fantastic part of Norfolk to visit at any time of the year.
