“We spent a week at Rose Cottage, and we can honestly say that it was a fantastic week in spite of the weather.”

The cottage exceeded all our expectations. It had everything we could possibly need and more. It was clean, well stocked and in an excellent location. Sally came to meet us, to check everything was ok. Any problems were dealt with very quickly and efficiently. The place is truly dog friendly, which is very rare. A lot of places say they are dog friendly and don't actually mean it, but this place definitely is. All in all we had a great time, and are making plans to return.

Toni May 2026

“Wonderful cottage in the perfect location for us.”

Hostess was lovely and checked on us the day after arrival. She really has gone above and beyond and even prepped the kitchen with a few essentials and non-essentials to help us get started with our stay. We were in need of nothing. There was a fan for when it turned warm and extra blankets for when we first arrived. Really, it could not have been more perfect. There is a very nice local pub, the Bluebell with delicious food and friendly staff. The village is quiet and peaceful with wonderful walking paths close at hand. It really is centrally located for the places we wanted to visit. I find Sykes to be more reasonable in pricing than some of the other websites. Book this cottage!

- Toni, May 2026

“Rose cottage is a lovely cottage in a quiet location.”

Tucked away yet close to amenities. The cottage is a credit to the owner. Super attention to detail. Extremely well appointed with everything you need for a wonderful stay. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. Super comfy bed and lovely soft towels. The shower was powerfull with plenty of hot water. We couldn’t fault this cottage and would thoroughly recommend it.

“This is our 4th time going to Rose Cottage, and each time we go, we love it.”

Sally, the owner, is always very welcoming and always makes sure we have everything we need. The cottage is, for us, a home from home, comfortable, cosy and homely. Our dogs love the garden. 5 stars from myself and my family

Martin September 2025

“Lovely cottage, was well presented and clean.”

We appreciated the welcome pack with eggs, milk, biscuits and doggy treats nice touch. Great garden for the dogs which is why I chose the property over others plus they took 3 dogs where many properties only accept 2. Highly recommend.

- Martin, September 2025
Anne-elise August 2025

“The cottage is wonderfully comfortable, fully equipped which enabled to eat at "home" for 2 nights with no stress.”

Tv was also easy to operate. The only thing I would say is perhaps consider putting a double bed in the lower floor bedroom? Bathroom was clean and the shower flow was fantastic. Garden was a great space though we didn't use it apart from breakfast and an evening tipple. To be able to get the sun all day is another positive. Your cottage is the perfect location.

Sharon March 2025

“Another fabulous week at Rose Cottage for us and the dogs.”

The owner Sally went out of her way to ensure the cottage was spotlessly clean and welcoming before we arrived, and the welcome pack (for humans and dogs) was generous. The large, secure, sunny garden is reassuring for owners of dogs of all sizes, and the area is great for walking, with sections of Thetford forest nearby. Would definitely recommend this place.

- Sharon, March 2025

thankyou for your lovely feedback. hope to see you all next year Kindest regards Sally x Property Owner

Jodie February 2025

“A very well equipped and beautifully clean cottage which, in the main, was a very comfortable place to stay in.”

There is lots of kitchen and bedroom space as well as a sizeable enclosed garden great for our dog. The only requests we would make would be for a king size bed and a footstool in the lounge for those cozy evenings watching tv. Thank you, Sally

- Jodie, February 2025
Sue November 2024

“The best cottage we've ever stayed in.”

The cottage was spotless, well equipped and very comfortable. The garden was well-maintained and safe for the dogs.We had a very generous welcome pack and fresh eggs provided by the owner although I was disappointed not to hear a cockerel. Being an early riser myself, I love to hear them welcoming the day. She answered our queries promptly and was very helpful with local knowledge.We had a wonderful week despite the grey dismal weather and most of the attractions being closed due either to the time of year, maintenance or preparing for Christmas extravaganzas.

- Sue, November 2024

thsnkyou for your lovely feedback Property Owner
Linda October 2024

“Owner of this cottage has obviously gone out of their way to provide anything a visitor may need.”

Best equipped kitchen I've experienced in a holiday cottage - if we needed something it was there. Books,DVDs,games for those who forget to bring. Loo rolls, tissues, soap dispensers, enough towels (goodness there are never usually enough of those) and they were nice and soft. And of course there were the thoughtful dog treats, welcome basket, fresh milk and eggs. Cottage was well maintained, comfortable and scrupulously clean. We are grateful that such a very nice cottage would welcome our 4 dogs and trust we left the property looking as good as when we arrived. Area is a lovely place to visit - this review is on the cottage only. We had a great break.

- Linda, October 2024

thankyou for your wonderful feedback and leaving the cottage lovely and clean. so happy you both and doggies enjoyed your hols. shame you didn't want it published as it a great feedback . many thanks again Property Owner
Stuart October 2024

“A wonderful stay at Rose Cottage for the two of us and two dogs.”

The cottage was spotlessly presented and very comfortable and every possible need was catered for and was also warm and cosy. Super location for visiting family and friends in Cambridgeshire, plus a trip to Ely as well as up to Cromer, Old Hunstanton and the North Norfolk coast. The Welcome Pack of goodies, including the dogs was lovely and also the greetings from Sally We couldn't recommend Rose Cottage more highly.

- Stuart, October 2024
Julie September 2024

“We absolutely loved the cottage.”

It was like a home from home. The village is lovely, a perfect base to visit so many beautiful places in Norfolk- Sandringham, the seaside and national trust properties too. Sally, the owner, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We had a wonderful time, even though the weather wasn’t that great, it didn’t matter. I highly recommend this lovely cottage and if I could give 15 stars, then I would. Thank you for everything.

We arrived to lovely welcome hamper for us and the dog, and included delicious fresh eggs. The cottage was very clean, cosy , welcoming and equipped above and beyond. The garden was very secure for our dog and had plenty of seating to enjoy the fantastic weather we had. Well located to get to a good number of lovely places to visit.

“The cottage is set in a lovely little village, there is a corner shop, a Chinese take-away, a kebab and pizza cafe and the nearest pub is 10 mins walk.”

The cottage itself had all you needed. Bedding, towels and cleaning equipment. The interior was spotless. There are lots of books and games to entertain yourself, even a T.V. and videos. It has a long back garden with deck chairs at the suntrap end of the garden, at the lower end of the garden is a wooden bench table where you can take a rest from the sun and drink a cold beer. It was so relaxing and the setting was great. Sally the keeper of the cottage welcomed us with a gift of fresh eggs and a basket of goodies, a perfect start to a perfect holiday. Thank you.

The enclosed garden was perfect for our lively spaniel with a choice of garden furniture for ourselves.

Who could ask for more?

“A very spacious cottage and large secure garden, in a pretty village.”

Very dog friendly property. Well equipped kitchen but could perhaps do with a larger saucepan, if cooking for six people. Very nice welcome pack. All the necessities catered for, regarding hand soap, washing up liquid, toilet rolls, coffee, tea, milk, etc. on arrival, very thoughtful. We would highly recommend, if you want a dog friendly holiday. Tracy

“Just returned after spending a wonderful week staying at Rose Cottage.”

Beautiful country cottage which is very spacious And comfortable. Property is tastefully decorated and furnished to reflect country cottage style . Property was very clean throughout. Very well facilitated kitchen with everything you need to cook any meal. Fantastic large garden which was very safely enclosed perfect for my two dogs to explore safely. Sally the owner of the property introduced herself checking that there were no problems on arrival. Very friendly letting us know where she lived And how we could reach her incase of any problems. Sally left us a very substantial welcome pack And also eggs from her own hens , delicious!!! Stoke ferry is a charming small village with very friendly residents. It is well placed for exploring Norfolk coast and country. I would thoroughly recommend a stay to anyone Who appreciates a tranquil relaxing environment with lovely clean comfortable accommodation. Will be returning soon .

Victoria June 2023

“Disappointing.”

Living room is quaint but the huge stains on the armchairs and sofa is off putting. Kitchen was OK, managed to find just two cereal bowls for three of us. No tumblers for drinks, just an array of random pub pint glasses. No adequate freezer space which is difficult when staying for a week, needs a full size fridge freezer. Bedrooms were adequate, upstairs bedrooms the mattresses were incredibly hard and uncomfortable, we ended up all sleeping in separate rooms as the double bed was so small my husband and I were virtually sleeping nose to nose. There is plenty of room for a king size bed in the main room, no idea why there isn't one. The stairs to the upper bedrooms was like a ladder, I very much doubt anyone with mobility issues could manage them. The on road parking it should be noted is on a narrow road and only enough parking for one car really. Garden was good for the dogs as there is a covered part near the back door. Overall just a little shoddy, mismatched furniture and decorations which made it look tatty and cheaply put together, peeling paint on the wall in the main bedroom, dated and stained furniture. OK for a couple of nights but not a week.

- Victoria, June 2023

Wow sorry you weren't happy. Cereal bowls there are ten of. There are no stains on my furniture as it has just been cleaned. Tumblers there are 6 of. Sorry I couldn't please you with the mattress as everyone likes different types. The cottage is very old, hence the stairs, good thing we have downstairs bedroom for anyone with mobility issues. The road is not narrow room for 2 buses to pass. So surprised with your feedback, as when I called to welcome you you had nothing but praise for the cottage Property Owner

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

Pamela April 2023

“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.

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!

“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

“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

“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.

“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.
