“Delightful property, with everything throne could wish for.”

A thoughtfully provided welcome pack was great, and saved a schlepp to the shops. Well placed for visiting the coast, Sandringham and numerous other properties round about. Easily recommended.

“Excellent accommodation, nicely furnished and comfortable, fully equipped kitchen.”

Lovely welcome hamper had been left for us which was much appreciated. Certainly will rebook this property in the future.

“Spotlessly clean and well equipped throughout, perfect location for visiting north and west Norfolk.”

The one downside is the two fold away chairs, we were fortunate that our granddaughters were happy to use them but if you have six adults that may be a problem but understandable due to the position of the Island in the kitchen. Overall an excellent holiday was had in a lovely house

- Roger, August 2022

Thank you so much for your feedback - we're so pleased that you had an excellent holiday. We will give some thought as to what we can do on the kitchen chairs front, although (as your comments suggest) this may need to wait until we undertake a complete remodelling of the kitchen in due course.

“Everything we could possibly need for a “home from home” stay.”

The property was spacious and well thought out, the beds were so comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. Although we ate out we also were able to cook finding the oven easy to use and there are plenty of pots, pans and serving dishes and sharp knives! We enjoyed sitting in the garden in the evening just savouring the peace. Highly recommended from all the party.

Thank you so much for your kind comments, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Job's Cottage! Property Owner
Greg July 2022

“Shame that there were only four decent dining table chairs when the property sleeps six.”

The other two were fold up ones which were not very comfortable. This is not in any way a complaint, more a helpful comment next time adjustments are made to furniture) : Found the layout of the lounge a bit difficult to watch TV and also be comfortable, partly due to the angles and the other that the one couch facing the TV didn't adequately support your back / neck / head (you were more in "take-off" position for a moon launch. Overall though, would comment that this was a lovely property, clean, tidy, well equipped and a good choice was made by us in selecting it as our holiday base for 2022.

Thank you for your helpful feedback - we are always looking for ways to improve things for our guests. It was nice to hear that you were pleased with your choice! Property Owner

“Lovely cottage, clean, spacious and well-appointed.”

Welcome hamper was a surprise and much appreciated, thank you. However the description and photo are inaccurate and misleading. It is not a detached cottage and the photo is of 2 adjoined houses. Disappointed when we arrived that the grass had clearly not been cut for weeks and we had to clean the patio and patio furniture before we could sit outside. Mentioned this to Sykes and the gardener came on Tuesday and tidied the garden and cut the grass. Great location in a pretty village with useful shop and pub within easy walking distance that serves good food and has a lovely beer garden. The house is within easy driving distance of some lovely sandy beaches and pretty villages, a steam engine museum, Norfolk Lavender and the beautiful Sandringham House and gardens.

- Susan, June 2022

Thank you for your helpful feedback, and Im glad to hear that you liked the cottage. I have asked Sykes to update the property description to show quite clearly that it is semi-detached, so as to avoid any future misunderstandings. We are lucky enough to be visited regularly by a family of ducks, but unfortunately they do leave their mark as far as the patio is concerned, so we will try to keep on top of this. Many thanks, Simon Barber Property Owner

“Felt a little overwhelmed by the amount of furniture in the property and the blankets on the sofas were a bit off putting as we did not take a dog.”

The outside looked unloved and the lawn needed a trim. Having said that cottage was well equipped, comfortable and situated in a lovely village in a lovely part of the country.

- Anne, June 2022

Thank you for your comments, and sincere apologies for the lawn not having been cut - we were let down by our gardener. We were a little perplexed by your comment regarding the amount of furniture - this is the first comment to that effect, but if it becomes a recurring theme we will certainly consider feeding a few chairs and tables to the woodburner. On the matter of the throws on the sofas, we are of course happy for guests to remove them if they have no need for them - apologies if this inconvenienced you. Property Owner

“Could do with a bread bin and tea strainer for us that use leaves still!”

!. good ammount of kitchen tools and DVDs games ect; . grass bit long . the local coop good , welcome hamper appreciated and handy., the bus service is exceptional every 20mins this maybe needs to be stated and time table in with leaflets . this was our first holiday in 3 years and we really loved it. so close to many places to see . did find shower hard to turn on but do have a bit of athrithis . over all a wonderful cottage and holiday. thank you

- Lynda, June 2022

Thank you so much for your helpful and kind comments. The lack of a tea strainer was clearly an oversight on our part, given that we had provided a teapot for guests! Apologies that the grass was a bit on the long side, our gardener arrived after overnight rain and decided it would be better to come back next week when it's drier. Good suggestion as regards bus timetables - we will put some information in the guest information folder as soon as we can. We are so pleased that you liked the cottage and had a nice holiday.

About the location

SNETTISHAM

Heacham 3 miles; Royal Sandringham 4 miles; Hunstanton 5 miles.

Snettisham is a traditional Norfolk village, with many of its houses built from the local iron-rich carr stone, which has an attractive golden-brown colouring. Due to this, the buildings are known locally as “gingerbread houses”. Village amenities include general stores, a Post Office, 2 inns, a bistro and a regular bus service to the bustling, family-friendly seaside resort of Hunstanton and historic King’s Lynn. The church of St Mary sits alone on top of the hill and is certainly worthy of a look inside at the exquisitely decorated tracery flowers on the west window. There is an RSPB bird sanctuary close to the beach, which is three miles away, and the ancient Peddars Way public footpath runs near to the village. Park Farm is on the edge of the village, and is a working farm with year-round activities for all the family, including a 45-minute “deer safari” and the chance to feed some of the animals. The Royal Estate of Sandringham, whose impressive house, gardens and church are open to the public, is nearby, as are the plant farm, tea rooms and gift shop at Norfolk Lavender, England's premier lavender farm.
