“A lovely cottage in a lovely Norfolk village.”

The owners' hospitality and welcome pack was second to none. Your every need will have been considered before your arrival. Really well equipped with lots of personal touches. We had a hot week and a very warm 'hot tub'. The Chequers Pub food excellent too.

“Thank you so much Tina and Greg.”

Deer cottage is brilliant and in a great location. The basket of goodies was amazing and very welcoming. We visited Oxburgh Estate twice, Banham zoo. Then we had a go at the pingo trail, although everything was under water so a bit of a challenge. But once back at Deer cottage a relaxing soak in the hot tub whilst watching the young deer criss crossing the back field. Just brilliant Thank you

“We really enjoyed our stay at Deer Cottage.”

Tina and Greg were great hosts and gave us plenty of information about the local area, including the Pingo trail, nearby towns and villages and the local pub - which served lovely food. A bonus for us, we even caught a sighting of a deer during our walk along the Pingo trail. The welcome pack was lovely, which included homemade fresh bread and cake. We really enjoyed the hot tub and took advantage of the log burner as the evenings got cooler. We have already decided that we will be rerurning in the future, as the cottage and the are is ideal for a short break away from reality.

“A beautiful cottage in a lovely part of Norfolk, ideal for weekend or short breaks away.”

Everything we needed for our stay was provided along with the use of a wonderful hot tub. Great communication from Tina & Greg before our visit and they made us feel very welcome on arrival. A lovely welcome gift basket of goodies, home made cake and bread made our stay special, with a personal finishing touch. The local pub is a most should you choose to visit Deer Cottage.

“Tina and Greg were very friendly and helpful.”

They left a basket full of goodies, cake freshly baked loaf plus a birthday card and banner. The kitchen was very well equipped. Deer Cottage is in a rural area but well positioned for exploring Norfolk with a supermarket and petrol station five minutes away.

“A lovely property and a quiet location.”

The hosts go out their way to think of everything you might need to make your stay great. The "welcome pack" was above and beyond and gratefully received (especially the cake!). The hot tub was a welcome blessing after days out. There are so many lovely walks around the area you could easily stay at the cottage all week. The friendly village pub is only a short walk away. A holiday we won't forget!

- Sally, August 2022

Brian July 2022

“Tina and Greg were very welcoming.”

We were provided with a goodie hamper on arrival, along with a delicious home made rhubarb cake and a home made loaf. The cottage itself was excellent, peaceful, very clean, in good decorative order and incredibly well equipped. Tina had thought of everything from washing up liquid to bin bags to robes & slippers for the hot tub, there were loads of extra touches that really made the difference. The bed was only a double, but very good quality and therefore very comfortable. I enjoyed coffee in the garden (with my book) every morning which was wonderful. Deer Cottage was a perfect getaway for us, providing us with some well earned peace and quiet for a few days.

- Brian, July 2022
Donna July 2022

“What can I say, to say feeling like home was an understatement!”

Tina and Greg were such amazing hosts, we had home made bread, chocolate cake, local jam, butter, milk, chocolates, hot chocolate, and a bottle of bubbly to welcome us! There was ample of information about local walks, near and far, attractions in the area, food, attractions, and instructions on how to use everything. There were robs and slippers for the hot tub, but tub had a seating area and fairy lights. The accomodation was delightful, heating was on morning and night, and the fire was amazing, heat the room up very quickly. All supplies for fire provided. The double bed was very comfy (although a little crampt for us) but a comfy double bed none the less, and very fluffy, comfy pillows! Bathroom was great, powerful rainful shower, first aid kit, showergel and towels provided. All in all, we loved our stay here, and the hosts were amazing. Hot tub private, and no noise around. Would love to stay here with my mum one weekend! Thank you for a great holiday

Tina and Greg had thought of everything and they had included lots of little touches that made the whole experience just lovely.

Georgina October 2021

“We have had the most amazing time!”

We originally booked this stay almost 2 years ago to have enjoyed last year but unfortunately Covid put a stop to it, however I must say Tina and Greg were amazing in being able to re-accommodate us for this year instead and we were made up by this. The holiday property is so much more than you can expect. The location is in a lovely country village but close enough to a shop as well (within driving distance), with great surroundings to explore - we were out every day, with so much to see and do! Tina and Greg put so many personal and meaningful touches around the place and it was a joy to stay in. The hot tub was an absolute bonus when getting back from a walk or day out. We were very lucky with the weather at this time of year but it didn't stop us doing anything we wanted to do and the property was so cosy and warm, perfect for colder nights. I would most definitely recommend this cottage, the owners are lovely in every way, very helpful and there whenever you need them. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we hope to return in the future!

- Georgina, October 2021

“We had a wonderful break here at Deer Cottage.”

Tina and Greg were wonderful hosts providing a mountain of extra treats including a home baked cake, toffees and many other bits. The hot tub was a lovely way to relax in the evening joined by a variety of birds and the baby deer ( I missed, but my husband had the pleasure.). The local pub an 8 min walk with friendly landlord and massive plates of food. Central to visit places of beauty in Norfolk and Suffolk. A must stay. Thank you

- Melanie, July 2021
John July 2021

“Deer cottage is very spacious and is furnished very nicely inside.”

The welcome basket was very useful after a long drive. The hosts Tina & Greg were very welcoming & informative. The hot tub of an evening was lovely to sit in & see the local deer come in the garden with you! The gardens could maybe do with a good pruning to open it up a bit, but apart from that it is a lovely place to stay.

- John, July 2021

“Deer Cottage is the perfect place to relax, unwind and get away for some much needed peace and quiet.”

Tina and Greg are brilliant hosts, with a warm welcome, chatty and friendly, and they really think of everything you're going to need. We were greeted with freshly baked bread, cakes and a basket of goodies. Perfect. We normally holiday abroad, and this was the first time in a long time we've stayed in the UK. And we weren't disappointed. The cottage is so lovely, very clean and well equipped. Deer Cottage is perfectly placed for exploring Norfolk, from the coast, city and countryside. We're sure to visit again.

Freshly made bread and cake and lots of other treats. The host were very welcome but not intrusive.

“Deer Cottage is every bit as good as other reviewers have indicated.”

Tina's attention to detail is unparalleled in my experience - the cottage has everything her guests could hope for. The extra touches provided in honour of my wife's birthday were so thoughtful, in addition to the welcome 'hamper'. The location of the cottage is peaceful and pretty, wildlife abundant, and the night sky a revelation to us town dwellers. The village pub Chequers is well worth a visit too (or several as in our case) - friendly locals, including Greg, good beer, and excellent food. All in all, a superb base for a holiday in Norfolk.

- Stephen, September 2019

Isabelle April 2019

“Tina and Greg were such nice hosts.”

The cottage far exceeded our expectations. As well as the delicious welcome pack of goodies, Tina has equipped the kitchen with everything you might possibly need to prepare your own meals. The entire property is beautifully fitted out and spotlessly clean. There is a lovely garden full of birds, and Tina has even provided towelling robes and slippers for the quick flit to the hot tub in the garden. This is a lovely property adjoining open fields where we saw hares and muntjac deer. It is very peaceful, but a short drive will take you to the Norfolk Coast at Blakeney national reserve, to Norwich and to lots of Norfolk wildlife Trust, English Heritage and National Trust properties. The location of Deer cottage is ideal if you want to make day trips to lots of places, equally it is beautiful and relaxing if you want to stay put in the lovely garden with chairs and cushions provided, and a lovely gazebo too. Can’t wait to return.

Joanne April 2019

“Spent four nights at Deer Cottage from the 8th - 12th April for my husband's birthday.”

The cottage was fabulous. Tina and Greg (owners) had thought of everything !! They were very friendly and extremely helpful. The homemade bread on arrival was delicious. The cottage was spotlessly clean. Tina and Greg certainly have an eye for detail. The hot tub and log burner were the star attractions to the property. On leaving Tina gave us a bottle of bubbles and some chocolates to celebrate my husband's birthday and our 25th wedding anniversary later in the year. We would recommend the cottage and will return if in the area again. Thanks again for a peaceful and very relaxing stay.

Jamie November 2018

“Deer Cottage was used as a surprise for my boyfriends 28th birthday and it was absolutely perfect!”

I could not have asked for anything better. Tina and Greg went above and beyond anything I could have asked for. From decorating the cottage to leaving a bottle of Prosecco, chocolates and some birthday cake ice cream for us for the weekend! Tina met us upon arrival and showed us around and then left us to it for the weekend. Even though you are attached to their house you would not even realise unless you were told. We had so much privacy and were left with provisions such as fresh milk, tea bags, butter, fresh bread and fresh orange juice. The homely touches are wonderful and the log burner and hot tub were amazing. We had such a lovely relaxed weekend and with being close to Norwich town centre we even enjoyed a day of christmas shopping. Thank you so much to Tina and Greg for providing us with a wonderful weekend and we will definitely be back. We have already recommended the cottage to family members that are hoping to visit in the New year. Thank you again from Jamie and Corey :)

“Very warm welcome from Tina and Greg who went out of their way to make us feel at home.”

Eggs, milk, bacon, orange juice and home-baked bread and cake awaited us so the shopping could be done the day after our arrival. It was a real pleasure to come back to the cottage after a day of sightseeing in a very beautiful area of Britain. We didn't expect to find so many of the attentions that make life pleasant and comfortable (linen napkins, tissues in the bathroom, picnic basket....) and we would like to thank Tina and Greg for such a pleasant stay in Norfolk.

Claire September 2018

“Arrived at Deer Cottage and greeted by Tina.”

Tina had lovingly made us a home made loaf, provided fresh milk and bacon in the fridge and half a dozen eggs. Tina had also decorated the cottage with bunting and arranged prosecco and birthday cake for my husband. Nothing was too much trouble, the cottage was fully equipped and very cosy with the log burner and central heating. The cottage was impeccably clean and had a very comfortable bed. The hot tub was very clean and warm with nice warm dressing gowns and slippers to put on after. The only draw back was poor wifi for keeping in touch with the kids but reception was much better in the kitchen. We cannot wait to return and would recommend to any couple wanting a tranquil peaceful escape

“Although the cottage was near a country lane it was fairly quiet.”

Back garden was secluded, which was nice as that was where the hot tub and patio were. The kitchen equipment was above and beyond what we expected with lots of little personal touches for visitors.

“We had a wonderful week at Deer Cottage.”

It is a beautiful cottage and it is so peaceful, that all you hear all the birds singing. It is beautifully decorated, furnished and stocked with lots of little extras which make the week more special. The hot tub is a perfect addition to the garden. The owners are very kind and helpful. The nearby pub was a great find and the local people are very friendly. There are a lot of places to visit within an hours drive. All in all, it was a relaxing and very enjoyable week.

“Deer cottage has not got electric central heating, its oil fired central heating, which is controlled by the owners next door, so if they dont swich heating on you will have to light the wood burner to get any heat in deer cottage.”

When the wood runs out it will cost you £5 to replace. The heating was swiched on the first night, and that was it until our last night there when the heating came on again!!

“The surrounding view, tranquility of the cottage and the facilities (log burner and hot tub) were excellent.”

The hospitality and communication of the owner were also excellent and appreciated. From our arrival to departure the break was peaceful and hassle free. The local restaurant/bar Chequers served excellent food with matching service. We hope to return to the cottage very soon.

Steven March 2018

“Arrived at Deer cottage in the middle of a snow blizzard and very tired after a long drive.”

Tina and Gregg made us feel comfortable straight away. A fresh cooked loaf of bread on the kitchen side, milk, sausages and chocolates too were just a few of the little things that made our stay so lovely. Beautiful surroundings and a lovely little cottage. Log fire and jacuzzi were both brilliant. Would love to go back sometime. Thanks Tina and Gregg for a very peaceful and quiet escape. Just what we was looking for. Perfect.

“We stayed at Deer Cottage this past weekend and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay!”

Tina and Greg were so accommodating and welcoming, they literally thought of everything; coffee, tea, sugar, milk, fresh bread and butter were all waiting for us on arrival which was wonderful. The cottage is so comfortable and cosy, the hot tub was fantastic, it was a perfect romantic getaway and we will definitely be returning.

The little touches were lovely like leaving milk bread and juice. The hottub was really nice. The location was lovely and so were the locals. Would love to go back again.

“We had a really enjoyable stay- the only 1 small thing I would say is that we were told there would be Wi-Fi.”

With our cottage being pretty much in the middle of nowhere, we had very bad signal on our mobile phones so were relying on the Wi-Fi but the connection was awful. We barely got 1 bar of signal from the Wi-Fi. Whilst it was actually quite nice to be cut off from the world and enjoy our break to the fullest- I do feel that if Wi-Fi is advertised, there should at least be a decent connection. There was no area of the cottage that provided us with even just a reasonable connection. Other than this, we had a really lovely time. The wood fire and the hot tub were excellent additions and even had some added extra's to get us going (like milk and bread and eggs). This was a really thoughtful and appreciated gesture.. Greg was very welcoming and the flat was very well equipped. We would like to thank both Tina and Greg for such an enjoyable stay

Saskia November 2017

“Deer cottage is a beautiful cottage.”

The owners Tina and Greg have really turned it into a home away from home. With big extras like a hottub in the garden, to small extras like mints on your bedside table. I highly recommend deer cottage.
