    “Holly Cottage was a delight Jane the owner welcomed us and let us know she was just a few minutes away if we had any problems She had left us a welcome pack of tea, coffee, sugar, milk, bread, butter, biscuits and wine.”

    She had also supplied soap in the kitchen and bathroom. Toilet paper and kitchen roll. All little extras that make a big difference. The cottage was like home from home so tastefully decorated with exquisite furniture and wonderful ornaments and paintings on the wall The seating was comfortable as was the bed. The bathroom had a large corner bath with shower over a sink and toilet. There was limited space but not a problem. We didn’t use the log fire as the cottage was warm but there was ...

    She had also supplied soap in the kitchen and bathroom. Toilet paper and kitchen roll. All little extras that make a big difference. The cottage was like home from home so tastefully decorated with exquisite furniture and wonderful ornaments and paintings on the wall The seating was comfortable as was the bed. The bathroom had a large corner bath with shower over a sink and toilet. There was limited space but not a problem. We didn’t use the log fire as the cottage was warm but there was a basket of logs and kindling available Off road parking space in front of the house which is always a bonus The bus to Kings Lynn ran right past the house which you could use to go into Swaffham if needed but it was only a twenty minute walk You could also get the bus to Norwich on the opposite side of the road Plenty of shops, pubs cafes etc in Swaffham and ample parking A large Tesco supermarket just outside the town centre The location was good nice and quiet with a lovely enclosed garden for our dog to use. We would highly recommend Holly Cottage and hope to visit again in the future
