“Lovely cottage and welcome pack and treats for dog's but do think the downstairs ...”

Lovely cottage and welcome pack and treats for dog's but do think the downstairs bedroom would be better as a double for when just adults use the cottage as you already have a twin upstairs but over all nice cottage and would go back as great enclosed garden for you and your dogs and walks nearby including a lovely forest

Lovely cottage and welcome pack and treats for dog's but do think the downstairs bedroom would be better as a double for when just adults use the cottage as you already have a twin upstairs but over all nice cottage and would go back as great enclosed garden for you and your dogs and walks nearby including a lovely forest

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rose Cottage.”

Have stayed in a few cottages and this was by far the best. The owners are lovely people and we even got to meet their pygmy goats, they are so cute! Very comfortable and clean which to us is a priority and also totally safe enclosed rear garden, keeping furry friends safe. Ideally situated to visit the beautiful county of Norfolk. We would highly recommend a stay in the delightful Rose Cottage.

“We loved our stay at Rose Cottage and would definitely rebook.”

Sally is a wonderful host, she sent us a message before arrival with check in details and greeted us personally. We arrived to a very generous welcome pack which was so welcoming. The cottage was so cosy, it really felt like home. Everything was provided you could possibly need. It was very dig friendly with dog bowls and dog treats provided in the welcome pack. The location was ideal a lovely village, so peaceful and quiet and great to explore from. Highly recommended.

“We spent a very relaxing and enjoyable week at Rose Cottage which is beautifully maintained, with every home comfort.”

The owner Sally has thought of everything, and was a welcoming and friendly presence when we first arrived. The cottage is situated on a no-through road and is very quiet and peaceful; our dogs loved the garden, and were made to feel as welcome as the human holiday-makers.

- Sharon, March 2023

Thankyou for your lovely feedback,so happy you all had great stay,hope to see you in the future. Give those lovely collies big hugs from me.x Regards sally Property Owner

“Spent a relaxing week at Rose cottage.”

Well equipped everything we needed. We loved the log burner especially following a day out sight seeing. Beds comfortable. Having bedroom downstairs next to the bathroom was handy as my partner has walking disability. Thank you Sally for the basket of goodies.

Thankyou for lovely feedback.so happy you all enjoyed your stay. Hope you make a return. Regards sally Property Owner
Sonya February 2023

“We thought Rose Cottage was lovely.”

It was incredibly warm and cosy. It was nice to be somewhere so quiet and peaceful. The cottage was well stocked and had everything we needed for cooking. It was great having a washing machine, drier, dishwasher. The welcome basket of eggs, chocolates, biscuits and hot cross buns was so thoughtful. They also provided milk and tea/coffee which is always the first thing guests want after a long journey. It was also nice to be welcomed by the owner when we arrived. She let us know where she was if we needed anything, but wasn't intrusive after this. The only minor issue we had was a lack of cupboard space for food and the small fridge but after some rearranging, we made enough space. The single beds in the downstairs room were too soft for the guests staying in there but you can't please everyone!

Kathryn September 2022

“Beautiful cottage, everything you need provided.”

Lovely welcome pack.Owner very helpful on local walks, shops etc unfortunately due to building work next door lighting fires most of the day creating lots of horrid smoke and blasting music all day we didn't make the most of the fantastic garden. Would stay again so don't let that put you off as it can't be helped however wasn't as relaxing as I'd have liked due to this.

Alison August 2022

“Went to rose cottage for a short break with my two teenage sons, and my elderly parents.”

My dad has mobility issues so having the bedroom and bathroom downstairs was ideal for him. We arrived on Sunday 14th August and stayed for 3 nights as part of my parents special birthday celebrations. I wish we had booked for longer! The cottage was easy to find and we had no problem parking. The massive enclosed back garden was amazing for our 3x very small dogs. The cottage was spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable. Everything you needed was there to use. The little food hamper was a lovely touch on our arrival, especially the milk. Arriving Sunday evening we really appreciated that. The only thing I would suggest was some fans, especially for the upstairs bedrooms. The heat wave made upstairs very very hot for sleeping. ( although I appreciate that’s not a normal occurrence) The cottage was well located for days out in Norfolk. I would most definitely recommend the cottage as a place to stay, wouldn’t hesitate in re booking to stay again. Thankyou for letting us stay x

- Alison, August 2022
Caroline July 2022

“Our family of 7 (including a baby) and two dogs had a great stay at Rose Cottage.”

The cottage was clean and very well equipped with a good sized garden to wind down in after a day out. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and very appreciated after the journey. Plenty to do in the local area which kept us busy including great cycling and forest walks. We hope to return in the future.

“What a lovely cottage, fantastic location, lovely setting and a wonderful space.”

You enter a spotless living room, through to a spacious kitchen diner, to be greeted by a wonderful welcome package. The bedrooms are fantastic and roomy, and a spacious bath/shower room. And let's not forget the large dog friendly garden. We had a wonderful time and will be back again soon. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Susan March 2022

“We had a lovely stay at Rose Cottage with our 3 little chihuahuas who loved the enclosed garden It was a very well equipped cottage and very homely We only got to use the downstairs area (our choice) and the beds were really comfortable and it gave us a chance to sample bungalow living which is the reason why we are so late with our review we have been very busy packing up to move to a bungalow!”

Although we only stayed at Rose Cottage for a few day's we found a few lovely places to take the dog's and ourselves to As soon as we are settled in our new home we will definitely be researching the local area a bit more and booking Rose Cottage again We have already spoken to our friends about this lovely little cottage Thank you again for a lovely stay and a lovely welcome pack for us all

Louise February 2022

“The cottage was warm clean and welcoming .”

The listing and photos didn’t do it justice , it was so much more than I had imagined it to be . Very dog friendly and definitely a cottage for all seasons . The garden was so secure, even for a husky escape artist. The owners were very helpful and made themselves available if we needed help with anything. A perfect holiday cottage.

- Louise, February 2022

“Rose Cottage is a brilliant property.”

The property was clean, fresh and comfortable. We had a lovely welcome basket left for us and some treats for the dogs. There were also extra towels, bowls and toys for the dogs. The garden is quite large, not over looked and backs onto a field so it's a lovely place to spend some time relaxing. We would definitely recommend to friends and we would book again!

“Rose cottage is an excellent cottage.”

It is very clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The garden is lovely and completely enclosed for dogs. The owner left a great welcome pack including treats for the dog. It is well situated for visiting Sandringham, Banham Zoo and the north coastal beaches. There is also a handy corner shop in the village as well as a fish and chip shop. Other good shopping is not too far away in King’s Lynn. I can highly recommend this cottage and would happily stay there again.
