Colin September 2023

“Lovely cottage peaceful quiet location.”

Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Had problem with oven on cooker on 1st day not working but owner had engineer arrive quickly to fix issue. Beautiful well kept grounds. Cottage is full of charm and character but watch your head with low doorways and stairs very steep and creaking floors upstairs sometimes disconcerting.

Great place to relax and unwind with lovely surrounds where you can watch the wild life. Set in grounds where you can have a leisurely stroll and enjoy the quiet area. Jenny the owner is there on hand if you have any problems and welcomed us when we arrived.

“Our weeks stay at Little Flint was lovely.”

The cottage is clean and comfortable with everything you need to make your stay as relaxing as possible. Julie came to welcome us and left us a lovely welcome pack which was very much appreciated. Great sized cottage for 4 people and a dog, with a lovely patio area to chill and an enclosed garden for our dog to enjoy safely. It was a great base to explore Norfolk

“The property was exceptional and the owner could not do enough for you .”

We had great holiday .the location was good. The only down side was the village pub had closed down. John Hastie.

Malcolm May 2023

“A pleasant stay but a few things to be aware of: 1) you are unable to fish the ponds due to weed.”

2) the cottage is in a working farm area so don't expect complete peace and quiet. 3) the stairs are very steep with an incomplete bannister on the landing. I wouldn't recommend for older people or those unsteady on their feet. 4) because of the need to heat the water the range, which is oil fired, is constantly on. So, this makes the cottage incredibly warm on sunny days. The garden is lovely and mature and will look a picture once all the plants are in full flower. Good area for exploring the North Norfolk coast, Swaffham and Sandringham. Excellent meal at the King Charles III pub in Sporle.

Alison November 2022

“Little Flint is a charming cottage, full of character.”

The bedrooms are spacious, the living room cosy and the kitchen well stocked with all the utensils and equipment you'll need. Jenny, the owner, was there to greet us upon arrival and even made a courtesy phone call later on during our stay to check all was okay. She left us a very generous welcome pack including fresh flowers on the table! Little Flint is an ideal base from which to visit other parts of Norfolk. It is peaceful and secluded though not too far from the beaten track. Would highly recommend.

- Alison, November 2022
Beverley October 2022

Cindy E July 2022

“We had a fabulous week at Little Flint.”

Please note that the photos show the second house Lyons Green which is a much larger property, not Little Flint. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful enclosed cottage garden with just the wildlife and cows for company. We had a very restful week. Thank you Jenny for the lovely welcome pack. Highly recommended for a peaceful break.

- Cindy E, July 2022
Rosemary May 2022

“We felt that the property was absolutely first class.”

It was clean, well appointed with everything we needed. The outside lawn and garden was secure which was brilliant for my dogs. I was however surprised when the owner came to visit us, that she hadn't been asked if it was OK to bring 2 dogs, although I was told by Sykes that they had contacted her, and been charged an extra £20. I explained this to her, and we wondered where the £20 had gone.

- Rosemary, May 2022
Mandy April 2022

“We had two weeks at Little Flint and totally enjoyed ourselves, the cottage was in an excellent location, very quiet and peaceful with lots of wildlife.”

Jenny & Tony were very welcoming and checked how we were getting on but without being intrusive. We enjoyed coming back to the cottage after long days out and about but also had a few lovely days just taking it easy around the immediate vicinity. The cottage had everything we needed and Jenny had left a lovely welcome pack including lovely freshly collected eggs. We would recommend Little Flint for a lovely getaway holiday.

“Beautiful, immaculate, cottage in a lovely setting.”

We had to rush off early when we left, so didn't have time to write our thank you message in the book. Owner is lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. It was lovely sitting in the pretty garden watching the cows with their calves, the hares in the long grass, and the geese with their goslings. Thank you so much!

“The host was very friendly and welcomed us with food supplies and the kitchen was well stocked.”

The house was lovely and the surroundings very peaceful and relaxing - a quintessential farmhouse holiday. We would return again. There was not a tumble dryer but the Rayburn provided excellent drying heat and a rotary dryer in the garden for the fine weather. Dereham and swaffham are short trips away. We stony recome

Jenny the owner could not have done any morw to make us welcome, what a fantastic host and genuinely lovely person. My son loves the on site fishing too!

“The cottage was so quiet, except for the occasional "moo" from the cows and calves in the field backing onto the property.”

I walked for 3 miles and only saw four cars, it was beautiful. Yet close enough to supermarkets in Dereham. The owners were very helpful and friendly.

“Very dog friendly garden - totally enclosed.”

Ideal location for touring from. Cottage was very well-equipped and comfortable. Surprised it was not 5-star rather than 4-star rated. Very peaceful with views over fields. Generous welcome pack from the owner.

- Christine, September 2014
Simon August 2014

“The view and location, although remote, was beautiful.”

All you could hear in the morning was bird song and the cows in the field. The house, although old, has been well maintained and is suitably modernised. It still retains that traditional feel though. The addition of a good wifi connection was a bonus. The owner, was very responsive to our requests and did everything possible to make our stay special.
