Primrose Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great cottage, clean, comfortable and super location for the North Norfolk coast and surrounding area. There was plenty of room for 5 adults. Couldn’t have asked for more. Will definitely stay again.

We all had a good time exploring North Norfolk with Primrose Cottage as a comfortable base camp.

There are so many lovely walks, beaches and pretty seaside towns nearby.

Although the cottage has the appearance of a terraced property it is a surprisingly pleasant neat, comfortable and spacious detached house.

It would be more useful for the terrace appearance of the house to be described as deceptive long detached house as a selling point. Will book again in future God willing.

Lovely cottage in a great location.

We very much enjoyed our stay in Primrose Cottage and had nice weather.

Good space, 3 bed rooms and 2 bathrooms. We enjoyed eating outside in the sun. Stiffkey is a great base to explore the north Norfolk coast (from Hunstanton to Sheringham, nearby Wells-Next-the-Sea/Holkham). Handy to have a store and a pub so close. In short, it's a great cottage.

There was only two of us and we were unusually delighted at the amount of space there was inside the cottage.

Its very basic, very clean and very suitable for a family with two children. However not wishing to be too unkind here - the matresses - they are far too soft and probably long overdue a replacement. Perhaps the owner could give this some consideration? Other than that, faultless. One of the nicest cottages we have stayed in. Thank you.

The cottage had so much character.

Great location - close to Blakeney Point (seals), lovely beaches and historic houses.

A really beautiful part of the world, the cottage is lovely and well placed for local attractions.

The beds could be a little firmer, which may not be issue for some guests.

We found Primrose Cottage very full of character and very comfortable.

Location ideal for trip to Wells next the Sea and Blakeney.

We had a lovely stay in Primose Cottage!

It felt very homely and loved. Everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and very clean! The location was perfect to walk from or visit places nearby. There are so many places! Thank you !

Excellent stay lovely cottage would stay again.

We were really impressed with the cleanliness of the cottage, the utensils were good quality,the beds very comfortable.

To call it a cottage was an understatement ,we were surprised how large it was. Lovely garden too. Would highly recommend it.

Lovely holiday cottage, comfortable, very clean and well equipped.

We enjoyed a week at the cottage at the end of May and despite the unseasonably cold north wind the cottage was cosy enough. The southern aspect of the house front and garden means it's going to be easy to enjoy any sun there may be. The cottage is linear in design and all the rooms have windows facing the south. We manged well with the different floor levels that have developed as the original cottage was extended, the stair treads are quite shallow but safe enough for a couple in there late sixties. Bathrooms appear recently refurbished and were very clean. Super comfortable bed in the main double bedroom. Good wifi throughout the cottage and a reasonable O2 mobile signal. The kitchen has been refurbished as well and a good selection of implements, crockery, glasses and all the appliances you may need plus a large fridge. Nice to see a full set of washing up materials and plenty of washing up liquid. Lovely to chat to the owner's father who lives next door and he is full of local knowledge and tips. Nice little village with a shop for essentials (a little pricey) and a large range of gifts. Wells on Sea is just down the road for larger grocery shops and a range of shops. Loved our meal at the Red Lion and though there is a stretch of road with no pavement in the evenings there is little traffic to worry about so an easy walk. There are plenty of footpaths around the village and I would recommend turning left out of the gate and taking the road past the telephone box up to the sports field. Carry on through the fields and past the holiday homes and you come to the trees lining the edge of the marshland overlooking the sea. Here you can join the coastal path. One local attraction I would 100% encourage visitors to pay a visit is the 'Rescue Wooden Boats' museum, it only opens on Sundays but is a very professional and interesting display of artifacts, boats and information. They also run harbour tours in Wells in the old lifeboat the volunteers have restored. Other places close by I would recommend are Morston Quay and Blakeney with the latter having some good walks and a great cafe by the NT carpark. North Norfolk is great for families with lots of places to visit and super sandy beaches and lots of WWII history. Thoroughly recommend the cottage and location.

Loved Primrose Cottage - very comfortable and relaxing stay.

Well placed for village walks and accsss to coastal path. Good pub and store/ cafe nearby. Very helpful owners. Highly recommend this cottage. Stayed here twice this year.

Great house Clean Great situation for exploring north Norfolk Lovely garden Pub a few metres away Shop a few metres away Owners father next down Lovely man with lots of good advice on where to visit

Excellent property, well sited on the coast road with bus service , no need for the car.

Pub 100 yds away tasty meal but small and expensive. Lovely area for coastal walking and bird watching

Lovely, roomy, comfortable cottage.

Beautiful garden. Excellent setting for a holiday, with local walks, local shop/ deli and pub/ restaurant. The owner is helpful and friendly. All in all a most enjoyable holiday. We have booked to come back.

We had a great week at Primrose Cottage.

Great amenities, comfortable beds & lovely to have a real fire in the evenings, only plus would be a dishwasher, as I really don't want to be washing up when I'm on holiday. Also please can you put hooks on the back of the bedroom doors, to hang nightwear on! many self catering owners seem to forget this! A bonus however was parking for 2 cars! The Red Lion pub in the village of Stiffkey is a great place for a meal and the local shop has delicious cakes & coffee. We were able to easily visit Holt, Burnham Market ( recommend having Sunday lunch at No 29 & tapas at the excellent Socius) Wells-next-the-Sea & Sheringham and had a trip into Norwich ( my home city), using the airport Park & Ride. Another alternative is to take the train from Sheringham. A great stay & we would definitely book again.

very happy with the property.

enjoyed our stay comfortable bed and furniture.owner James very pleasent and helpful.

The cottage is in an ideal place for exploring the the coastal path .

Bus service excellent every 30 mins . The shop across the road is lovely selling local produce. Cottage would be better in the summer when you could sit in the garden . Won't be going back because we would like to explore other villages on the Norfolk coast which is lovely. T

A well equipped cottage.

It was clean and well presented. The bed was very comfortable. The owners checked before our arrival that we knew the key box code and that we were sure of exactly where to find the cottage. The off road parking was spacious, and necessary, as Stiffkey has a narrow road. It is an old cottage so there is some uneveness in the floors, and the stairs are steep and narrow but this was in the description so it was not unexpected, just adds to the charm.

Our second stay in this wonderful cottage, we enjoyed a great two weeks.

The cottage is extremely comfortable with everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you so much.

The cottage is full of character, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed.

We used the Coast Hopper bus to start or end our walks each day which meant we could explore more of the area. The scenery is varied with salt marshes, sand dunes and cliffs. This was our first visit to Norfolk and we loved it. Thank you James, for coffee, tea, milk and biscuits on arrival and also birthday card and chocs - a kind thought. We had some interesting chats with James' dad, John, next door, who has lived in Stiffkey all his long life and has a wealth of local knowledge. We had a great week - thank you, James.

We had an excellent week at Primrose Cottage.

The cottage itself is delightful and the village of Stiffkey is well placed for exploring the North Norfolk coast. For us, as electric vehicle owners, the EV charging facility at the cottage was an absolute delight. We topped up the car each night and had no need for public chargers at all during our week's stay. The owner's parents live next door and James' father was a fantastic source of local knowledge and so interesting to talk to. If I am half as good as him at his age I will be very happy! In summary, would recommend Primrose Cottage to anyone.

The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed for our holiday.

Lovely garden to sit in and actually had some sun which was a bonus. One thing which we feel should be mentioned is the stairs are quite steep for anyone who is elderly or struggles with stairs. We managed them but my cousin had to stay on the sofa bed downstairs, had we known about the stairs she wouldn't have come with us. Other than that it's a good place to explore Norfolk.

Primrose Cottage is a wonderful place to stay when visiting North Norfolk.

Within walking distance is a gastropub, cafe selling provisions (such as milk, eggs, bread + freshly baked pastries open from 830am) and other goodies, playground and the marsh to explore. We had a lovely time (3 nights) with the children and easy access to Wells and Holt. The cottage beds are super comfortable, the place is clean through out and the temperature is spot on. Lots of places to sit down and read a book on your own or gather together in the snug, sitting room or dinning room. Crabbing and beach equipment super helpful too in the garden shed. Highly recommend staying here.

Everything was lovely!

Such a pleasure to meet the owner and his father too. We were cosy and comfortable in the cottage and the location is perfect - a pre-breakfast stroll for birdwatching on the marsh was a real treat accessed from the door, and there is so much of interest close by. We really needed two weeks! Hope we will be back!

We had a lovely time and Primrose Cottage was very clean (very important to us) and cosy.

James was helpful and a nice touch was he contacted us before the holiday. He left us milk and biscuits which was a kind thought there was tea, coffee and sugar if required but we had our own decaf items with us. It was lovely having chats with his dad John next door which made you feel at home. All in all a great place for a good holiday.

Clean, functional and pleasant comfortable place to stay and everything you needed.

Very helpful owner when a hot water issue challenged us. Honestly loved it and its location.

Primrose Cottage was a wonderful place to stay.

We enjoyed all the interesting details about the history of the cottage and the photos. The cottage was well provided with everything necessary for a good holiday and with details about how everything worked. Stiffkey Stores is a wonderful place and sells the most amazing mixture of groceries and goods, has a post office counter, serves fresh coffee and cakes and just about anything you could need. The Red Lion pub has very friendly staff and the beer and food are good. Everyone in the village was very friendly and all this adds up to provide for an excellent holiday!

The cottage was ok but smelt of damp everywhere.

The kitchen was well equipped but hard to prepare a meal due to as it doesn’t have much worksurface also the cooker was very hard to work over all I was very disappointed.

Enjoyed our week in this very comfortable homely cottage very much.

Very well equipped and close to the lovely village stores and cafe also the pub and marshes. Could do with a lid on the kitchen bin and a potato masher perhaps.

A super cottage.

Lots of space . A lovely garden to sit in. Great walks from the door.

Wonderful spot and plenty of space, even a comfortable bed!

Thank you to the owner.

An Excellent Two Week Stay Cottage is an interesting mix of old and new.

Very well equipped kitchen, generous supply of basics on arrival. Comfortable bed with second week's linen & towels kindly supplied. The Snug was great for quiet reading. We enjoyed the outside space and barbecue. Well situated for walks from the door as well as nearby access to the Coastal path. Good centre for touring North Norfolk. Grateful to have off road parking but take care pulling out as road narrow (20 MPH limit) and on a bend. Helpful owner, easy to contact if needed. Thank you.

The property was ideal for our needs and its location was ideal.

Cottage was clean, cosy, warm and well equiped.

The beds were comfortable with white quilts and pillows. Bedroom wardrobes had plenty of hangers, there was sufficient drawer space. The kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, cutlery and crockery; the owner, James, had kindly left us some milk, tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits.

We had a lovely stay.

Very comfortable and nicely equipped. The owner was very helpful by letting us arrive earlier than the stated time and with a query while we were there. We always use Sykes Cottages and have not been disappointed yet.

The property was as described by Sykes.

Good location - a convenient distance from most places of interest in North Norfolk.

Owner lived next door and was very helpful. Sykes should include the property number on the listing as Primrose Cottage does not show up on Google maps - however the property manager did give us directions.

The cottage was beautiful, well maintained and very well equipped with everything we needed (apart, perhaps, for a drying rack for clothes in wet weather.

That is our only, tiny criticism and I'm certain that if we'd asked for one the owner would have produced one) The owner was friendly, helpful and answered any queries straight away. The saltmarshes and other loveky walks are right on the doorstep. I would thoroughly recommend Primrose Cottage to anyone.

Really nice cottage!

We had a super stay and James was very helpful throughout our stay. Just one or two things really .. Garden furniture needs bit of attention, cast iron table and chairs need bit of painting and pigeon pooh removing and some new cushions for white chairs. Plug socket under window in master bedroom doesn’t work so impossible to dry hair and look in any mirror! Interesting results! Lots of empty cupboards for food etc so bit of rearranging might get dishwasher in!

Well maintained cottage Well equipped kitchen weather very good so outside space was well used We hope to return in the future

Had a very enjoyable stay in this well equipped, clean and welcoming cottage.

The storage heaters made the cottage lovely and warm and cosy, did not need to light woodburner, also plenty of hot water. A shame the weather did not allow us to take advantage of the very pleasant garden area, definitely stay here again if in area and will recommend.

The cottage was very comfortable with a lot of thoughtful touches.

The milk, biscuits and beverages were very welcome. The garden is great for sitting out; we were fortunate with the weather. The location is ideal for our favourite part of Norfolk.

A lovely cottage - really good position with easy walking to the coast path.

Road outside very busy at times but we mainly walked rather than getting in the car so it wasn't an issue. Cottage comfy and well stocked despite changes due to Covid.
