April 2023

“On arrival we did have a problem with the door lock which meant we couldn't gain immediate entry.”

However after phoning the owners they responded immediately and sent someone quickly enabling us to gain entry. The owners were lovely and took prompt action to replace the lock & key and also pointed us in the direction of places to eat, visit & shop. As for the cottage we found it in perfect order and that everything needed was provided and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was excellent!

Alan November 2022

“The whole holiday was great, the cottage was more than perfect, it had everything we could possibly need.”

We like going walking so the utility room came in very handy as we had a few wet days so were able to dry our coats & boots etc. Certainly, we have it in our minds to return again in the future.

- Alan, November 2022

Everything was perfect for us. The area was close to family whom we visit yearly so we are already looking at dates for our return next year. Thankyou.

- Diane, September 2022

Roy September 2022

“This is a very comfortable property.”

Convenient for all North Norfolk. There are a couple of pubs nearby who serve good food. There is a nearer Pub but that is closed and has been sold. Local shop within a couple of hundred yards. Parking is available but can be awkward and difficult to find upon arrival. After that - no problem.Property benefits from a spacious fridge, and well-equipped Kitchen. Looking forward to returning in Spring next year to visit the Nature Reserves.

- Roy, September 2022

I’m pleased you enjoyed the area and look forward to you visiting again in the spring. Property Owner

- Janet, July 2022

We’re pleased you enjoyed the area and your stay at Bertelle. We hope to see you against Property Owner
Julie July 2022

“Everything provided for a comfortable care free holiday.”

Plenty of things to do when in the cottage - TV, music centre, DVDs. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking a 'proper' meal, not just to warm up takeaways - but you could if you wanted to. I would suggest providing a steamer set of pans to cut down on energy usage, but there were enough other pans to accommodate what were wanted to cook. Cottage is ideally placed to see the local attractions - Sandringham House and Gardens, Hunstanton, King's Lynn, Vancouver Gardens, Castle Acre Priory and Castle etc. All in all, this was a good find for our holiday cottage and we wouldn't hesitate to book the place again if visiting the area.

- Julie, July 2022

We’re so pleased you enjoyed stay and look forward to you visiting again. Property Owner
Irene May 2022

- Irene, May 2022

So pleased you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner
Victoria April 2022

“Cosy, comfortable, beautifully decorated.”

Just perfect for our needs. Would definitely recommend and plan to return. Owners helpfully provided information on the local area (where there is so much to do), even providing an OS map with signed places of interest and good pubs and restaurants. There was also a very generous welcome pack-the wine for us and the sweets for the kids were gratefully received. Thank you.

- Victoria, April 2022

We’re so pleased you’ve had a lovely time in Bertelle and Norfolk and look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

Frances March 2022

“The property was just perfect.”

It was clean and comfortable, with lots of room to relax. Christine provided a number of thoughtful touches such as the welcome gift box, stair gate and booster seat for little ones. I can't think of anything that was missing. It was a perfect base for exploring great beaches, various walks and pretty villages. The village shop is very well stocked and is less than two minutes walk away. All in all, it was the perfect getaway, in a perfect property. Thank you for such a lovely time.

- Frances, March 2022

Ray April 2021

“This cottage had everything what you would have at your own home.”

It was comfortable well equipped, from the kitchen to the bedrooms. We had one small problem which the owner fixed very quickly, also the owner followed up the problem to make sure everything was OK. The cottage is in a nice little village, Grimston from here you can go in many directions to do all you sightseeing.

- Ray, April 2021
Lucy October 2020

“We loved our week at Bertelle, it was such a nice break away and we have very fond memories of our stay!”

The house was extremely comfortable and very well-equipped. As a family of four we were able to relax and enjoy the local area. We would love to return and would highly recommend to others.

- Lucy, October 2020
Ruth September 2020

“The accommodation was very good especially for people who are fit, healthy and have no mobility issues.”

Can we suggest, that a sentence in the description of the property, states not suitable for people with mobility problems. When we booked this back in January, my mobility was not too bad, but over lockdown has deteriorated immensely. The stairs are steep and steps higher than the modern depth, and then having a further step up into the bedrooms, was quite difficult. We had to use the stair gate each night and leave the light on to advoid falling down the stairs whilst partially awake in the night. Also, the lounge seating was very low and impossible to get up from if your legs were weak. Having said this, the place was very well equipped, we just feel something should be stated in the details to avoid other people meeting these problems

- Ruth, September 2020
Anne September 2020

“Well placed for touring but nothing to do in the village”

- Anne, September 2020
Louise August 2020

“Lovely house and very well stocked with everything you need (and more).”

Really well positioned with lots to do in local area.

- Louise, August 2020
Sine August 2020

“The house was absolutely perfect; spotlessley clean and exactly as shown in the pictures.”

Everything appeared new and in full working order and the kitchen really did have everything you could need. A nice quiet village with easy access to all local routes - a short trip to the local supermarket and very close to Kings Lyn and the coast. The small shop in the village supplied just about everything you could think of. Lots of walks and cycle routes (off road) on the doorstep so no need to drive anywhere unless you want to.

- Sine, August 2020
Sharon March 2020

“This cottage was one of the best equipped we have ever stayed in.”

Apart from a slight problem with a key (which the owner sorted out the same day) we had a lovely week.

- Sharon, March 2020
Denise February 2020

“Wonderful cottage in a peaceful setting.”

Just perfect for getting away from it all. Loved the kitchen . Lovely comfy beds. A great local pub 20 min walk away that serves great food. Warm and cozy all week.

- Denise, February 2020

“The cottage was beautiful and in a lovely location,it was comfortable and had everything provided,modernised to a high standard,credit to the owners who have expensive tastes it shows.”

- Joan, June 2019
Charles May 2019

“It's some years since we had a self catering cottage holiday, and how things have changed if this one is anything to go by.”

Gone are the mismatching crockery and cutlery, the paper thin towels and poor equipment. The owners had thought of everything and provided it as if they were going to stay themselves. There was a welcome basket including a bottle of wine, Duchy biscuits, crisps and tea, coffee, sugar and milk, all of which were much appreciated. A comprehensive renters manual told us all we needed to know, and the OS map with local tourist attractions, pubs/restaurants and recommended routes marked on it was a touch of genius The kitchen was a dream to work, and the lounge/dining room was superbly comfortable. Upstairs both bedrooms were well beyond what we expected in terms of equipment and comfort. There was even room to stow the cushions out of the way (Bloke's comment!). In the bathroom there was a spacious separate shower as well as a huge bath Outside there was plenty of room to park and enjoy the evening sun, in fact the weather was so good we ate in the garden most nights. (Unfortunately we didn't figure out how to put the cover back on the sun umbrella without shinning up the pole. Hope the owner found it in the cushion storage box) The village store across the road is well stocked and reasonably priced. All in all this was a superb cottage

- Charles, May 2019
Rachel May 2019

- Neille, March 2019
Sandy March 2019

“One of best cottages that we have had the experience to stay in.”

So peaceful and well designed. Fully equipped leaving you so relaxed . We would normally want to find places to eat out, we fortunately found the cooker and oven were so good and easy to use that we eat in every night. The rooms are large, sofa and beds large and really comfortable. The owners are easily contactable. Thank you Richard and Christine.

- Sandy, March 2019
