    “Property was clean, well equipped, tidy, nice hot tub and garden.”

    The biggest criticism was the farm track to the cottage. It was heavily pot holed which wasn’t mentioned in your description. Max speed was 2-5mph if you value your car! Only one place you could possibly pull in, if needed, but I would not have been prepared to reverse for anyone given the horrendous amount of pot holes!

    The biggest criticism was the farm track to the cottage. It was heavily pot holed which wasn’t mentioned in your description. Max speed was 2-5mph if you value your car! Only one place you could possibly pull in, if needed, but I would not have been prepared to reverse for anyone given the horrendous amount of pot holes! One or two negative issues, we chose ground floor bedroom accommodation because I have mobility issues, but the foam mattress was not comfortable to sleep on and made the bed low so not easy to get up from. It’s personal choice in terms of foam v sprung mattresses but not one I would choose. No hanging space in ground floor bedroom. The sink drain in ground floor bathroom was very slow draining and the stopper was difficult to work and needs to be looked at. Instructions for cooker would have been useful although we obviously managed. I wouldn’t choose this cottage again, only because of the dreadful pot holed farm track and the uncomfortable bed. Given the distance to any shops, a small welcome package would have been a nice touch.

    Hi Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately due the excessive amount of rain we have had the lane has suffered. The contractors were booked to work on the lane and we have requested this is now urgent. Like you said the mattresses are a preference and good quality Emma mattresses are in the property. We also decided not to leave a welcome pack as people realise they are self catering and we found the items we brought were being left and having to be disposed of. However. Tea, coffee and sugar are supplied. The listing has been prepared by Sykes cottages and does mention the property is down a farm track. Regards Sarah Property Owner

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.
