“The property was brilliant, everything was thought of even down to hand towel in the kitchen, bin liners, foil, food bags, that a lot of people don’t think of.”

We only stayed 4 nights so wasn’t expecting the very thoughtful provisions left. The property was clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay again when staying in this area.

Erich October 2023

“We had a very pleasant stay at 27 Whitegates, the host left us plenty of supplies and goodies and even a treat for the dog, the garden was very secure and our English Springer loved it.”

The local butchers had fantastic sausages and the local pubs carvery on the Wednesday was outstanding. The only fault I could find was the shower but apart from that the house was lovely and for the first time ever had a proper nonstick frying pan and a working tin opener kudos to the host.

Gerald October 2023

“Warm and friendly personal welcome upon our arrival.”

Very quiet location, but with an amazing number of interesting places and things to visit. House is very well equipped, with everything we wanted. Lots of birds in the well kept garden, which has a nice secluded patio

“This is a lovely property in a quiet location.”

The owner has thought of everything providing many treats and practical things on arrival and is extremely well equipped. The garden is totally secure for dogs and the bed is so comfortable, it is easy to over sleep. Lovely area to explore. Would definitely visit again.

“Great location for exploring that area of Norfolk.”

The supplies left were very much appreciated, thank you.

Samantha July 2023

“Fantastic house in a wonderful peaceful location.”

Close to all broads/coast/places of interest. Completely enclosed, dogproof garden front and back. Owners have gone above and beyond after I stupidly left something behind. In 15 years of holiday rentals in this country this is the best equipped I have ever stayed in. Cannot rate highly enough, superb, if I could give more than 5 stars I would :)

Sheila April 2023

“Property was comfy, clean and well stocked and i really enjoyed my stay.”

It was so nice of Mark to welcome me personally and give me information about the area, pus the goodies he left. It was also good to have a hairdryer, one thing less to pack next time, and a really secure garden for my little dog. I found the keysafe difficult to open, but that's mostly due to my arthritic hands. I shall definitely return here

- Sheila, April 2023

Joy October 2022

“We were welcomed to the property by Mark who had provided a generous hamper of goodies for us.”

Everything was so clean and tidy in the property and the views from the bedroom window overlooked a field which was so nice. At night it was so quiet and peaceful - all you could see were the stars in the sky. The bedroom had a TV for us to use, which was very convenient. There was a good sized fridge/freezer for us to store food during the two week stay which was a bonus. The enclosed garden was perfect for our little dog and we knew that she could not escape from any part of the garden. All in all, this was a perfect holiday property for us with the shop close by for provisions plus an excellent butcher as well.

- Joy, October 2022
Glenn September 2022

“It would be better if there was a walk in shower rather then one over the bath .”

We oldies find it difficult to get in /out a bath. On the good side one of the best welcome packs we have had anywhere, a nice place in quiet location.

- Glenn, September 2022
Amanda July 2022

Glenn October 2021

“Our stay 30/10/21 to 6/11/21 The house was very clean with a lovely good sized garden which was good for our dog as well as us.”

The owner left essentials (tea, coffee, bread, butter, eggs, milk, biscuits etc) so we didn’t have to rush out for anything. He also supplied essentials for washing dishes etc. Overall our stay at the house was a good experience and I highly recommend the property to others. Glenn

- Glenn, October 2021

- Leonard, October 2021

Michael October 2021

“Mark (owner) met us at 27 Whitegates which was a nice touch.”

He also left tea, coffee, bread, eggs, milk, apple juice, tomatoes and strawberries which was unexpected but, most welcome - thank you again, Mark. The property was extremely clean and offered all the amenities needed for our stay so what else can you say.

- Michael, October 2021
Roy September 2021

“Lovely cottage in an excellent location, giving easy access (sometimes just by walking from the door) to the Broads as well as the coast just a short drive away.”

The cottage was very well equipped, very comfortable, with everything in excellent working order. The welcome provisions were first class. One of the reasons we chose this cottage was because the garden was enclosed and secure. We weren't disappointed. It was very safe to let our small dog out, to enjoy the garden. Finally, speaking of the garden. It was beautifully maintained. An added bonus. Watching the birds on the feeder was a pleasure. Thank you very much. We would definitely come here again if we return to Norfolk.

- Roy, September 2021
Anne September 2021

“Very clean property, everything you could possibly need,a real home from home.”

Lovely welcome pack of local goodies. Looks of maps and walking routes to be enjoyed around the area. Would definitely recommend a visit

- Anne, September 2021
Andrew August 2021

“The location of this property is quite rural.”

So it's a get away from the busy ratrace of normal life. The birds, which come and feed on the bird feeder are so entertaining too! The house itself has everything you need a real home from home!

- Andrew, August 2021
Liz August 2021

“Nice quiet location.”

Nice village nearby. We had a very pleasant break.

- Colin, May 2021
Michelle October 2020

“Lovely little house, very comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean.”

I don't think the photos do it justice which is why I've said it exceeded expectations. The location was wonderful, so rural and quiet. Loved having views from my bed over looking fields. Right within the Broads and a good base for exploring the area. We did lots of walks straight from the house which were beautiful. Also easy access to the sea. The enclosed garden was great for our rather nervous lurcher. So quiet and a great fence! Village shop and butcher both useful.

- Michelle, October 2020
Nigel October 2020

“No, all good apart from the weather !”

- Nigel, October 2020
Linda September 2020

“Owner met us on arrival and had provided basic provisions which was helpful.”

Property was well furnished and spacious on a quiet road with ample driveway parking. It has a lovely enclosed garden which was great for our dog (dog bowls & treats also provided) This is a great base for both coast and broads and has every home comfort as on the last day of our holiday we experienced storm Alex. Our power went off at 10pm on the Friday evening and was still not on again as we left to go home on the Saturday morning. We did inform the owner. The only negative I would have is that the owner did not contact us to check that we were alright during the power loss. He had provided one small torch. We would definitely return to this property.

- Linda, September 2020
Rodney August 2020

“This property was exactly a described, the proprietor supplied bread, milk, fruit juice, apples, tea and coffee.”

He also met us there to make sure everything was okay. It was a brilliant experience, and one we will repeat in the future.

- Rodney, August 2020
Andrew July 2020

“We really enjoyed our stay at 27 Whitegates.”

On arrival we were overwhelmed by the generosity of the host, with supplies of milk, bread, fruit and many other basic essentials. The house was spotlessly clean and tidy. We would certainly look at making a return at some point in the future. I would definitely recommend this holiday home - I give it five stars!

- Andrew, July 2020

The property

Positioned in a quiet, no through road, surrounded by beautiful Norfolk countryside and with views from every window upstairs, is this lovely, semi-detached holiday home. It is ideal for families, friends and couples looking to explore the Norfolk Broads and all the attractions it has to offer. Entrance is gained from the front of the property and into a tiled porchway, where you can store coats and walking boots. The living/dining room boasts views across green fields as you eat at the dining table, and sumptuous armchairs with a country feel. From here you can access the galley-style kitchen, with sufficient fixtures allowing you to enjoy a comfortable break away from home. A cloakroom completes the ground floor, making good use of the space, with a small hand basin integrated on top of the WC. Climb the plush carpet to the first floor, where you will find two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The front bedroom is spacious with ample storage, bedside cabinets and views over a patchwork of rolling, walking country. The second bedroom allows you to wake up to the same endless views, as you enjoy your morning cup of tea from the warmth of your bed. Fitted units not only add a sleek finish to the room but are a great way of saving space. The bathroom is bright and clean, occupying a shower over the bath. To the outside you have the choice of seating area to the front and rear for alfresco dining and the garden is fully enclosed for children and dogs to play safely. This property sits about ¾ mile outside Ludham and is just 6 miles from Wroxham, while the rest of the Broads, How Hill and Bewilderwood are also only a few minutes away. Norwich is a mere 40 minutes from here, and there are no end of local attractions within a 20-mile radius. The National Trust's Horsey Mill is an iconic landmark, which can be explored on foot, following a wildlife rich trail. Brograve Mill is in the parish of Sea Palling, a Grade II listed building constructed of red brick. Both are around 9 miles from the property and well worth a visit. How Hill Nature Reserve offers abundant walks, a museum of a marshman life in Toad Hole Cottage, and beautiful scenery. Choose this base for a memorable holiday in East Anglia.
