You cannot get any hot water in the basin it is hardly a triccle It takes several minutes to try and get the temperature in the shower so you can use it its either burning hot or freezing cold We always take slippers to wear so as not to dirty the floors but they came home with us filthy the kitchen floor was so dirty and sticky it was unbelievable We would not recommend this properly

- Michael, July 2024

The bathroom was totally refurbished last winter. We have had no previous problems and I am surprised you did not raise these water control problems with us. As I’m sure could have easily resolved any issues. The water is set to a maximum level and has over temperature correction so cannot be burning hot there is also a built in safety temperature regulator in the shower itself. We cannot understand how the kitchen floor would have been in that state on your arrival since all floors were both vacuumed and moped that morning. What you describe is how you actually left it. Perhaps something was spilt.soon after arrival. Again cannot believe if you found the floor like this on arrival that you would not raise it with us. We would not recommend these guests.

Suzette May 2024

“We had a lovely week at Highfields, it had everything we needed.”

Heather and Rob were very good hosts meeting us on our arrival and explaining things to us and then leaving us to ourselves, but they were on hand if we needed anything. The area was central to get to many places . Thank you for the welcoming tea coffee milk and biscuits they were much appreciated.

- Suzette, May 2024
Ian May 2024

“We had an excellent time and overall stay at Highfields .”

Although we didn’t do any cooking whilst we were there and chose to eat out it was obviously well equipped for those who wanted to self cater. A very well presented and clean apartment it was perfect for us. This part of Norfolk is has nice beaches and scenery and is great for walking . The weather was good for the majority of the week so all good.

- Ian, May 2024
John May 2024

“The property is a lovely haven and a nice place to relax and unwind whilst been in a good location to visit the areas attractions.”

I like to leave the properties I visit clean and tidy and whilst the owner provided a vacuum cleaner for use the floors were laminate throughout and tiled in the kitchen I think a soft brush would be useful to use (there was a dustpan and brush) not really suitable for doing a large area, and some kind of o mop so you could clean the kitchen floor. I also found the shower a little confusing to use, there are instructions in the booklet in the accommodation for the microwave it would be good if there were some for the shower, also a warning that the hot water gets very hot and if you are not careful you could scold yourself. These are not complaints of any nature just observations on my part.

- John, May 2024
Susan September 2023

Michael September 2023

“This really was a lovely place to stay.”

Everything you could want was provided including a few extras. The hosts met me on arrival and were very friendly and hospitable and nothing was too much trouble. Thankyou very much for a very enjoyable week’s break.

- Michael, September 2023
Valerie August 2023

“We felt at home the minute we walked in, the tea, coffee, milk and biscuits were very appreciated.”

For some reason we struggled to get access to Wifi but Bob was on the case and put a booster in the kitchen for us, job done! Being just outside Cromer suited us and we used the bus to go into the town. Everything you need in the property is provided, and Heather and Bob perfect hosts. Hopefully we will go back to beautiful Norfolk and we would not think twice about staying at Highfield again.

- Valerie, August 2023
Vicky July 2023

Didn’t like the message left that we had to strip beds, tidy up and sweep floor, we paid for a holiday not to do housework, a pleasant holiday

Kenneth August 2021

“Toilet door would not close.”

Inadequate lighting in bathroom. Clothes (underwear) always felt damp. It was cold but had no control over heating (had to ask the owner to control heating) It felt like the premises had not bee used for some time. Would not recommend to friends. Not good value for money.

- Kenneth, August 2021

The property isn't damp and has been occupied continually since June by holiday makers. We do fog the property on every changeover as per the recommended covid cleaning guidelines We have fixed the bathroom door after we read your note and the control for the heating is just above the sofa so you can turn it up or down as required Once again, thanks for your comments Property Owner

- Roslyn, August 2021
Charles Ian July 2021

“An ideal base for a couple.”

To relax ,walk in the countryside, visit the Broads and coast. A comfortable and very clean and safe property considering the pandemic.

- Charles Ian, July 2021
Ann April 2021

“A great location to visit the coastal and National Trust properties.”

We enjoyed our stay. The property was small cosy and well equipped, we had everything that we needed, though a bit more sunshine would have been nice!

- Ann, April 2021
Maureen September 2020

“The hosts were most accomodating.”

Even the patio was swept every morning to contend with leaf brought down by the quite fierce wind. All information was clearly set out in accordance with present guidelines. For example, brochures were left for us re: places to visit, to be disposed of after each visitor. There was plenty of information before we arrived. This is our second visit and we would happily go again.

- Maureen, September 2020

Michael May 2019

“Highfields is a really relaxing retreat for two people it was everything it said on the tin so to speak very comfortable and very clean.”

We were welcomed by the owner on arrival and nice tea tray awaiting us in the kitchen. The patio area was a lovely sun trap for us to relax and unwind and the area is great with many things to do and see close at hand.

- Michael, May 2019
Patricia May 2019

“If you could say if the shower is a wet room, cubicle or over the bath”

- Patricia, May 2019
Jonathan April 2019

“This property is excellent for.”

A break in a quiet location. It would benefit from a house sign as gps is spasmodic in the area and running out of phone battery resulted in a 1 hour search for this property.

- Jonathan, April 2019
Maureen March 2019

“Easy parking.”

Dog excercising area nearby. Lovely peaceful patio area. Very comfy bed. Thoroughly enjoyable stay.

- Maureen, March 2019
Carol October 2018

“Overall very clean and comfortable be it a little on the small side.”

One downside was we took our dog but due to a busy road past the property with no footpaths we had to get the car out to take the dog for a walk. But that aside we had a lovely week exploring Norfolk.

- Carol, October 2018
Robert September 2018

“The location and accommodation were ideal for a couple of wobbly octogenarians.”

Easy access to places of interest (eg National Trust houses an reserves) and to good pubs/restaurants

- Robert, September 2018
Olwyn September 2018

“We thought the cottage was excellent go their again any time, also just outside the cottage you could catch a bus any where great.”

Christopher May 2018

“We found that Highfield at Roughton was the perfect base in north Norfolk for a holiday with our family dog”

- Christopher, May 2018
Andy May 2018

“It was a lovely cottage, as was the lady who owned it.”

If you don’t want to go out anywhere you can relax on the patio which, if you’re as lucky as we were, is a nice little sun trap. Comfortable in the cottage, the best thing for me was the shower, really liked it. The bed was ok. The kitchen was equipped with all the basics, plenty if you wanted to cook or a good chippy in the village or Chinese takeaway less than 2 miles away. Came away feeling relaxed and refreshed. Definitely recommend it.

- Andy, May 2018
Carole Anne April 2018

“The cottage was comfortable, bright and cheerful, well equipped and furnished.”

The paved yard was fully enclosed with table. chairs and bench seating, all the more pleasant because of pots of flowering plants on it. The position was nice and central, only about 5 minutes to get to Cromer. The owner made me very welcome on arrival and was on hand if there were any queries. I would be more than happy to go again.(and hope for better weather next time! )

- Carole Anne, April 2018
Marlene March 2018

“A real home from home.”

Flowers, biscuits, tea, coffee and milk left for us. Comfy bed and warm duvet. Heating on from 7am to 11pm - a godsend as weather was so cold over Easter.

- Marlene, March 2018
Paul November 2017

“A very quiet and extremely well equipped property.”

Extremely friendly owners who volunteered information about the area and answered any questions. There is a local enclosed 'dog walk' field close by for that early morning walk. The shower is large enough to take a shower stool, which we took with us. Met all our creature comforts in an area that we love.

- Paul, November 2017
Patricia November 2017

“We had a lovely relaxing time at this property.”

Just the right size for two. Ideal for visiting Cromer and the surrounding area. Would recommend to others and would definitely stay there again.

- Patricia, November 2017
Sandra November 2017

“Quite hard to find the driveway on a dark road, a light would be nice.”

The cottage was lovely and comfortable enjoyed my break away there, would definately go back again.

- Sandra, November 2017
Janet February 2017

“Lighting poor outside.”

Light temperamental. Broadband very slow.

- Janet, February 2017
David November 2016

“Excellent cottage for two people, owners were great hosts and very helpful .”

Wi-Fi connection was very good. Would certainly visit again, Only complaint was the week of constant rain we had, can't blame Bob and Heather for that, didn't let it spoil the holiday though

- David, November 2016
Geoffrey October 2016

“A very enjoyable break from start to finish.”

Property owners made us feel very welcome and the property was very clean and well presented. Ideally positioned for the coast and also places of interest inland. We would recommend this property to any couple and we will certainly try to return in the future. G & P Wood .

- Geoffrey, October 2016
Gordon September 2016

“Slightly underwhelmed with the finer details of the accommodation - Seat in Shower not able to be used - difficult for my wife who isn't able to stand for long periods.”

Kitchen adequate but contained a lot of crockery, glasses etc which we found were not required. Needed to make room for non perishables. small blemishes with décor under window sill in lounge - plaster off. Light switches in Kitchen & Lounge not easy to find when arriving after dark would have thought they would be near to the entry door? All in all a good place to stay and ideally situated for visiting attractions in the area. The village pub was well worth visiting - New Inn - excellent English & Chinese food.
