“A lot of heat was being lost via the French doors.”

Daylight was evident when closed and locked. However our stay was very comfortable.

“This is our 2nd visit.”

Love quiet relaxing location. The cottage has everything you need.

- Jennifer, July 2023
Anne July 2023

“Great accommodation, well appointed, very clean with fantastic fixtures and fittings and great to be annexed to the owner's home.”

Nice quiet location but centrally placed with good access to visitor attractions. I would comment that the description of 'enclosed garden' is somewhat misleading in regards to being dog friendly. Yes an enclosed area, but basically a paved patio area, rather than a garden that your pooch can run about in. Also if you want to make home cooked meals the cookware is a bit limited in terms of no microwave specific cookware and no non stick cooking pans. Having said that overall a great property!

“This property goes right to the top of our list.”

Everything we could wish for for a quiet peaceful retreat. Accommodation was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Owners friendly and helpful. Would certainly recommend to family and friends.

“Walnut Shade exceeded our expectations!”

Perfect for the two of us and our dog with plenty of space and a safe enclosed courtyard. The beds are lovely and comfortable, there is a modern bathroom with bath and shower combined and the open plan kitchen/living room works well with comfortable armchairs beside the patio doors which open onto the courtyard with outside seating. The kitchen area is modern and well equipped, the hosts had even provided dogs bowls. 10 stars all round from us.

Thank you Sally for the great feedback Many thanks Sean and Sarah Property Owner

“A lovely holiday cottage.”

We went with our 4 year old twins and had a lovely week. The cottage had everything we needed and the beds were super comfy. The location is great for exploring Norfolk and there is a lovely play area in the village only a short walk away.

Margaret March 2023

“A spotless, well equipped property in a delightful village, with private parking and good access to many visitable places.”

The only addition to the property to suggest for safety reasons would be an anti-skid mat for the bath/shower. Thank you.

- Margaret, March 2023

thank you Margaret for great feedback and we have now provided an anti slip mat for people to use . kind regards Sean and Sarah Property Owner

“Walnut shade was a lovely little find to stay at for the week - fairly priced.”

Ideal location for taking dogs away- with dog friendly pubs close by. Location easy to find, well equipped and spacious. Lots of lovely walking near - even with a slight countryside view from the patio. Very happy with our week away exploring with a warm, homely base to come back to.

- Talya, November 2022

“Walnut Shade (annexe) is absolutely lovely.”

The refurbished cottage has been done to a high standard with clean fresh decoration and everything all looking great. We stayed as a family of four with a baby (we brought our own baby crib), and two dogs! Plenty of space, enclosed safe rear garden area with lovely seating and sun shade. Fully equipped kitchen. Not far to the Gamekeeper pub which is dog friendly and super meals. Would definitely stay here again. Location is very good.
