“Lovely cottage in a location within easy striking distance of all Norfolk has to offer.”

Very clean and well appointed, very friendly and helpful owners.

“Tricker’s Cottage is small but very comfortable.”

The property as a whole is well-maintained, clean, and thoughtfully decorated. The bathrooms are lovely with one of the best showers we’ve had in a holiday home. The kitchen is well equipped, so we were able to cook almost as well as at home. We particularly appreciated the welcome pack, the extra fridge, and the lockable storage room. The road is a little noisy, but we weren’t disturbed by it. The view over the fields more than made up for it, and we really enjoyed watching the sheep. Joanne and Darren were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

“This is a pleasant, quite basic but clean and tidy cottage that has everything you need to enjoy a week away.”

We were pleased to find it was lovely and warm thanks to the underfloor heating. It also has a useful second fridge in a lockable separate utility room.

“We are a family of four plus a Sprocker and we have just spent a fantastic week at Trickers Cottage, we immediately felt relaxed and ‘at home’.”

Joanne and Darren have thought of everything in the property and we were able to cook in the property each night. We’ve especially loved the roll top bath, and this felt extremely luxurious…There are plenty of walks from the cottage, literally seconds from the property and you’re at grassed areas / street for the dogs toilet, just a few mins walk away and you’re then at the start of a lovely trail, which also leads to the Marriotts Way, just around by the church, our Sprocker loved this trail. The property is roughly only 20-25 min from the Uni, and only around 25min from Norwich City centre. The drive goes by and really didn’t seem long at all. There are also plenty of supermarkets only a short drive away (Lidl, Tesco and Asda). Thank you Joanne and Darren, we can’t wait to stay again soon and would definitely recommend this property.

Hayley October 2023

“We have had a wonderful week in this cottage, which has been a real home from home.”

It was nice to sit and watch the birds and animals in the field through the living room window. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Great location for exploring Norfolk.

- Hayley, October 2023
Claire July 2023

“Absolutely brilliant.”

Joanne welcomed us warmly, showed us around and chatted with us about the local area. We had everything we needed for the week. Particularly liked the lockable storage area which we used for wet coats and boots and being able to watch rabbits playing in the field at dusk and early in early morning. Very comfortable and a super location. The main road can be busy at times but we weren't at all bothered by any noise from it and really really enjoyed our much needed break.

- Claire, July 2023
William July 2023

“Lovely base for a Norfolk tour.”

Very friendly, helpful owner on site and all the routine stuff was provided, - T towel, washing up liquid, cleaning stuff, etc

Lucy May 2023

“We had a relaxing stay in a beautiful cottage.”

It is a relatively compact accommodation but each space is comfortable and welcoming and the open plan area downstairs is pretty large. The bathrooms are gorgeous, luxurious and with the largest free standing bath tub I've ever seen. The owners were friendly and helpful and the parking and general location was convenient. We were very happy with everything; however the road noise (which we were warned about) is noticeable and could be a problem, especially in warm weather with open windows.

- Lucy, May 2023
Sarah April 2023

“Beautiful cottage, everything you could need for a home from home.”

We stayed whilst our house was being renovated. Kitchen has a small freezer, iron and ironing board and clothes airer should you need to use the w/m. Every utensil you could think of. Wi-fi not super speed, but not an issue if you are only on holiday. Owners were lovely and friendly. Beautiful walks nearby. Highly recommend.

- Sarah, April 2023
Lorna March 2023

“It was a working trip and had a lovely stay.”

The Cottage was so comfy and had everything you needed. The owners lovely and very helpful. I would love go back again with my dog for a proper break. Had all facilities and extra storage if you required. It was nicely located. I was able to see Blickling Estate and Cromer around my work. All in easy reach.

- Lorna, March 2023
Tim February 2023

“Lovely property and great welcome.”

Good location and easy access to all areas of a lovely part of the country. Maybe a few extras in kitchen like covered cooking pot and some more instructions re heating as it was great downstairs but not so good upstairs. Overall lovely stay and would recommend to friends and family.

- Tim, February 2023

Thank you for your feedback, it was lovely to meet you. Sorry there wasn't sufficient heating instructions, I have corrected this. We are on hand for any questions and we would have resolved this for you quickly. We look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner
Kimberley December 2022

“Lovely cottage and was just what we needed, however the front door lock kept sticking, the filtered water tasted strange and we could not get the hob to work.”

Our stay was lovely though and would recommend and stay in the future.

- Kimberley, December 2022

Thank you for your feedback, it was lovely to meet you. Sorry you had problems with the hob. The child lock had been turned on. We are on hand for any questions and could have resolved any issues quickly for you. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Property Owner

“We felt very welcome and enjoyed our stay; the accommodation was comfortable, had a nice character and had what was needed for our trip.”

We found it well situated for exploring the surrounding area including the coast,

“A lovely well maintained and furnished property”

- Paul, November 2022
Adam October 2022

“Very clean and well equipped.”

The owner was brilliant at responding to any issues we had. Nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was lovely, however as a family we do like an outside space to sit. There was only one bench we could use and we didn’t realise it was situated where it was. Would return again during the winter but not in the summer due to this point.

- Adam, October 2022

Cottage very high standard very comfortable owners very kind and helpful one of the best cottages we have stayed in 10 out of 10 very central to any where in north Norfolk lots of leaflets for places of interest over had a great holiday all 4 of us dispite health problems

Peter April 2022

“Very pleasant stay.”

Accommodation was nicely renovated, well-maintained and clean, with plenty of space for a family of four, plus dog. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Location was convenient, with decent walks nearby and a fantastic pub/restaurant within easy striking distance. It’s next to a minor A-road, so some traffic noise at peak times should be expected, but it was no different to the village where we live and still very, very relaxing. Will definitely recommend to others.

- Peter, April 2022
Helen November 2021

“My wife and I had a beautiful stay at Trickers Cottage.”

The cottage is well located. It has a great interior, with modern touches. It was very comfortable and homely. With family located in Norfolk, we will definitely back to stay again. Thank you.

- Helen, November 2021
Frank September 2021

“Had a very relaxing stay, a little bit further out than where we usually stay but ideal for Broads and Wells (About 25 min) Plenty of areas for walking (Dog walking) Cottage well equipped with modern facilities, ideal for 2 / 4 people, two bathrooms and two large baths (one with over shower) plenty of room for off road parking.”

Plenty of local pubs (Not many dog friendly) plenty of grocery retail in the surrounding area. Very friendly owners, very helpful. Minor minus point - situated on a busy road, slight road noise of a night when in bed, but didn’t prevent a comfortable nights sleep.

- Frank, September 2021
Julia September 2021

“The cottage information said there was a small enclosed garden.”

We booked because of this as we have a dog. There was not one. Instead there was a very small gravel yard across from the property and shared with the other house. It was not suitable. The property was also extremely noisy being next to a very busy road. It was too expensive for what it offered and should be offered as a budget type of holiday only. We left a day early due to the extreme traffic noise keeping us awake at night. We feel your information on the property should be more accurate and that the price should be reduced.

- Julia, September 2021
J August 2021

“Tricker's Cottage is a beautifully renovated barn, all fixtures and fittings are of a high standard and it is well furnished in a comfortable, contemporary style.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our week; there is an excellent gastro pub two minutes drive away, and its location means that the Norfolk Broads, the coast and everything in between are easily accessible. Joanne, the owner, was extremely welcoming and both she and her husband were available to help if needed - a problem with our water was resolved within minutes of alerting them to the matter. The admin for the holiday was professionally and efficiently managed by Sykes; we would recommend both the cottage and Sykes without hesitation, and plan to visit again in the future.

- J, August 2021
Margaret July 2021

“The position of Trickers makes it the perfect location for touring round Norfolk, the road mentioned by some people didn't bother us.”

We've stayed with Sykes several times and Trickers is probably the best accommodation we've had, well thought out, everything we needed was available. We've had a lovely holiday with plenty to do, I would recommend the short drive to Morston Point and join a seal boat trip, this was brilliant but you do need to prebook. I have no hesitation in recommending Trickers.

- Margaret, July 2021
Mark June 2021

“Lovely comfortable cottage located well for visiting the Broads and coastal areas.”

- Mark, June 2021
Cali June 2021

“Tricker's Cottage is beautiful and so thoughtfully set out on 2 floors.”

It was really useful having a bathroom upstairs as well as downstairs especially during the night! There is a fabulous storage facility assigned to the cottage which we used to store our bikes and bike rack, with a further fridge if required, although we didn't need this as there were just the two of us. We went for a bike ride along part of the Marriot's Way which was lovely and shaded by the trees. We found the Bridge Inn pub and had refreshing drink before carrying on. We also visited The Parson Woodford Pub which is on the road opposite the cottage. It was fabulous, with friendly staff and delicious food; we even went back on our last morning for breakfast before heading home! We visited Cromer and walked along the pier before having a spot of lunch at the Kings Head pub which was really lovely. We also visited Alby's Craft and Gardens, Lenham Glass and Pensthorpe Natural Park. We had a short stay but it we did plenty of sightseeing and have lovely memories. Would definitely recommend this accommodation and would love to visit again in the future. Thank you Joanna and Darren.

Andrea November 2020

“Used this as a base for working away from home.”

Cottage was lovely, clean and tidy and catered for all our needs. Only downside was the noisy traffic from the main road, of which neither of us are used to. Would definitely recommend

- Andrea, November 2020
Gemma October 2020

“Tricker's Cottage was extremely well kitted out, it was clear that a lot of thought was put into all of the furniture, facilities, kitchenware etc - there was everything you could need for a holiday stay.”

The bathrooms were of a very high spec and the huge free-standing bath was a lovely bonus. It was nice to find a place that actually welcomed dogs rather than just tolerated them! Good off-road parking, and it was fantastic to have great countryside walks straight from the doorstep. Would highly recommend.

- Gemma, October 2020
Lesley October 2020

“Trickers Cottage was lovely.”

It was extremely clean and warm. The beds were very comfortable and good quality bedding and towels was used. The owner was very friendly and gave a lit if information about the surrounding area

Zillah August 2020

“Perhaps it was mentioned in the ad but I did not notice it.”

The property is next to a very busy road. Whilst it is possible to take a dog for a walk up the lane near the property, I felt it was not very suitable for a dog. Whilst the is a pub nearby we did not feel it would be safe to walk to it due to having to walk along the road.

- Zillah, August 2020
Simon August 2020

“The cottage was fabulous, just the right size for the three of us.”

Very clean and well equipped, and close to everything we wanted to do, yet far enough away to feel remote. The owners were very welcoming and very helpful. All in all a very pleasant stay, and we will definitely be back here in the future

- Simon, August 2020
Andrew July 2020

“Very clean and well kept property, had everything you need to have a comfortable break.”

“Trickers Cottage is lovely, beautiful period features, fantastic bath upstairs, all the amenities you need, modern but with lots of character.”

Great location for exploring Norfolk and Jo was a wonderful host. Essentials all provided on arrival, underfloor heating on when we got there as well so really nice and cosy. Lovely countryside view from living room window. Nice and powerful shower, basically everything you need and had a great couple of nights away, will definitely be staying again.
