“Very comfortable and warm.”

A well equipped property, in a good location to explore Norfolk and Norwich. The host was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area and keen to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

“Firstly “The Annex” is in a great location, everything we needed was in the local area.”

If you do decide to explore Norwich City centre, that’s also very close, about a 10 minute drive away. Jeff and Tanya provide all you’ll need for a comfortable stay. The welcome hamper was much appreciated and even included a bottle of wine and fresh eggs from the little ladies who live in the garden. Ah yes the garden, absolutely fantastic, deer, birds, reptiles, squirrels, water features, and about 3 acres in total to explore. Lots of seating areas, tranquillity with a capital T. If you can drag yourself away, superb garden centre minutes away, easy access to the coast about 30/40 minute drive, access to The Broads at Wroxham about the same, the roads are delightful to drive. Lots of tourist information is provided along with eateries, bus services if required, just about everything. Perfect hosts, enjoyed our many chats with Jeff in particular, it was very much like visiting old friends.

Gillian September 2023

“60 Rectory Lane is the perfect central base for exploring Norfolk and Suffolk, and Jeff and Tetyana are lovely, welcoming hosts.”

Lots of information was provided for our stay, and the facilities in the annex are excellent.

Merche September 2023

“Property well maintained and in a quiet location.”

Ideal for two people wanting a relaxing break. We were made to feel welcome by the owners. Thank you for the welcome hamper of bread, eggs, milk and wine. Superb garden and weather to go with it!!

“Beautiful annex with a marvellous garden easy bus route to Norwich and the coast a short ride away.”

- Jackie, August 2023
Danusia August 2023

“Short but sweet and a surprise, since a phone call from Jeff revealed we had accidentally booked the wrong week.”

Jeff and Tetyana were very accommodating in all sorts of ways – thank you. A thoughtful hamper which included their own freshly grown tomatoes and eggs from their chickens, (also wine, bread, milk and butter). The accommodation was lovely. There is no separate lounge, but chairs to watch the TV in the bedroom. The TV only has terrestrial channels but for streaming we had a laptop with a 3m HDMI cable, plugged into the TV, which is quite high on the wall. Overall, the annex is small, generally comfortable, well equipped and a good base. The garden is huge and beautiful. We made the most of the three nights we were there, with cycle ride to see the seals, a walk and visit to Norwich.

- Danusia, August 2023
David July 2023

“On arrival the owner, Jeff, was there to greet us and gave us a comprehensive guide around the accommodation.”

A welcome pack was provided which came in very handy indeed. Jeff also showed us around his huge garden and informed us that we were welcome to use it as if it was our own. The rooms were very, very clean indeed and the bed extremely comfortable. All in all the stay was a welcome break and the accommodation is first class. Thank you Jeff and Tetyana.

Anne June 2023

“A little gem!”

Comfortable, spotlessly clean, we had a truly relaxing break. Our hosts couldn’t do enough for us, with little touches like fresh flowers on the dining table, bathrobes and slippers, complimentary toiletries and a welcome pack of bread, butter, milk, red wine and fresh eggs from their own “little ladies” in the garden! We didn’t want our holiday to end.

- Anne, June 2023

David October 2022

“The Annex at 60 Rectory Lane is a very convenient place from which to explore Norfolk.”

It is easy to get into Norwich using the Park & Ride bus. We visited the Broads, Sandringham, Horsey Windpump and Beach and several other places. Our hosts were very helpful and the unit was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay.

- David, October 2022
Robert September 2022

“Delightful property of high standard and well maintained.”

Quiet residential location within easy driving of Norwich or the Broads. Owners had provided a very generous 'welcome' package and were available on-site, without being intrusive, should there have been any problem. At a time of personal health issues for my wife, it all helped to make for a pleasant holiday.

- Robert, September 2022
Rosemary September 2022

“We were very impressed with the annex in Poringland.”

Geoff and Tatanya were a lovely couple and couldn't do enough for us to make our stay very enjoyable. I would like to thank Geoff for pushing my husband around in his wheel chair around the beautiful 3 acre grounds. The annex was a small but was perfect for the two of us. The shower was the best one we have ever had and the huge bedroom so comfortable including the very comfortable bed. We will be going back there again and would definitely recommend it. Rosemary and Rick Wright

Barbara August 2022

“Very welcoming and very helpful.”

The property was very clean. The welcome pack of milk butter eggs and bread was much appreciated. Having all the instructions to all the appliances was very useful. Geoff did explain it all to us but it was handy having the book with instruction in. Handy for the bus into Norwich.

“We enjoyed our stay at The Annex.”

It was extremely clean, well equipped and comfortable. Jeff and Tetyana are excellent hosts and happy to help with anything and the Welcome basket and flowers on the table were thoughtful touches. The use of the large, interesting garden was a such a bonus. There were many areas to sit and enjoy a glass of wine in the evening while listening to amazing birdsong. Thank you, Jeff and Tetyana! Maureen and Roger.

Marilyn November 2021

“We had a great, quiet stay at the Annex.”

We were pleased with all the amenities and the comfort of the place, and the hosts were very welcoming. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to do our cooking, and the hosts provided a lovely welcome hamper with wine, bread, milk, and eggs. The bedroom had an excellent array of shelving and closet space for the two of us and many lighting options. The detailed notes and maps of links and nearby locations of interest that were provided were handy as we traveled around the area by foot/bus. The property is right near a direct bust route to Norwich. The garden was expansive and great fun to explore; I loved the monkey puzzle tree, all the hidden seating nooks, and, of course, visiting the ex-battery rescue hens. We had a great stay here over our anniversary week - it was just right for us, and we would certainly stay here again.

- Marilyn, November 2021

“Very comfortable and well equipped generous welcome pack and lovely garden.”

- David, August 2020
Jane August 2020

“We were greeted with a welcome pack of essentials (bread, butter, milk and eggs) and a bottle of wine.”

We were offered use of the pool, but were unable to take up the offer as the weather was somewhat inclement. The owner was extremely helpful, and gave us useful pointers as to where to shop and eat out locally. This is a suitable venue for an older couple, but will not accomodate people with children. The venue is well placed to visit Norwich and coastal areas like Caister and Great Yarmouth, and the RSPB site at Strumpshaw Fen.

- Jane, August 2020
Michael August 2020

“WE HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM A WONDERFUL SUNNY WEEK IN NORFOLK, STAYING AT THE ANNEXE IN PORINGLAND, AND WE ARE MISSING IT ALREADY!”

THE PROPERTY IS VERY WELL-MAINTAINED, THE BED COMFORTABLE AND THERE WAS A SURPRISE WELCOME PACK OF FOOD AND WINE WAITING FOR US. THE HOSPITABLE OWNERS WERE EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND GAVE US FULL ACCESS TO THEIR BEAUTIFUL 3 ACRE GARDEN, WHICH WAS A DELIGHT TO SPEND TIME IN AFTER A DAY SPENT AT THE BEACH OR SIGHTSEEING. WE HAVE NO RESERVATIONS ABOUT RECOMMENDING THE ANNEXE FOR A RELAXING BREAK.

- Michael, August 2020
Felicity July 2020

“So comfortable to stay in, great hosts and very well thought out.”

We had all we needed to enjoy our visit. Lots to do and see around Norfolk, with a bus service or Park and Ride into Norwich. Really comfortable bed so a good nights sleep at the end of a busy day. Thank you to our hosts.

- Kathleen, September 2019
Jennifer September 2019

The property was just right for two people getting on in years!

- Jennifer, September 2019
Debbie May 2019

“The location in a quiet neighbourhood, close to amenities and Norwich City, was excellent.”

The accommodation is very well appointed and the hosts are friendly and welcoming, without being intrusive. We enjoyed being able to prepare our own meals if we wanted to and to have the use of laundry facilities was a bonus. Arriving late to a warm welcome and a generous welcome hamper was appreciated after our long day. We will certainly be recommending The Annex to family and friends and we hope to stay again in the future.

- Debbie, May 2019
Gerald May 2019

“The annex was clean and the welcome pack was very nice.”

The ability to use the extensive grounds was nice and the location was good. The hosts were very welcoming and had a good range of leaflets on places to visit, though we had done our homework before hand so we had our itinerary just about mapped out. If we were to visit the Norwich area again we would definitely use the Annex again if it was available.

- Gerald, May 2019
Christopher May 2019

“Super welcome from Jeff, the host, with clear explanations.”

All I needed. Handy buses into Norwich meant I didn't need to drive every day. Magnificent garden. Really comfortable bed. Super shower.

Adrian March 2019

“I have stayed at the Annex twice as it was so good!”

The accommodation was excellent and very comfortable, home from home! I was looked after very well and nothing was too much trouble! The gardens were beautiful and full of wildlife and Jeff was more than happy to let us walk around at leisure which was lovely. The Annex is based in Poringland which gives you access to all of Norfolk’s places of interest without having to travel to far! The local pubs are friendly and well worth a visit! You might even find Jeff in the Oak on a Tuesday evening... Anyone wishing to visit Norfolk can stay here in comfort safe in the knowledge you will be looked after for your stay. I will be back again for sure. Thanks for an amazing holiday.
