More crockery in kitchen if using the dishwasher. Other than that we couldn’t fault it .

“We had a really lovely week at the Haven the owners Mary and Michael were most welcoming Mary was so helpful on places to eat and go.”

You would never guess the property catered for dogs as it was so clean. There was everything in the property that you needed. The bed was so comfortable. We would not hesitate to return or recommend to friends. Steve and Eileen

Alan June 2023

“We received a very warm welcome from owners, Mary, Micheal, and friendly tail wags from Monty the dog, on our arrival at The Haven.”

They were so helpful during our stay and so were the friendly neighbors next door. The fresh flowers, along with the delicious homemade goodies, were a lovely touch. It was a most peaceful and relaxing break away at the Haven, and so enjoyed sitting on the private patio, in the pretty sun-soaked garden. The annex is a delightful retreat and within easy reach of the beaches, boating on The Norfolk Broads, local walks, pretty villages, and good pubs to dine at. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped along with the light modern-decorated lounge too, which I'm sure would be very cozy with the wood burner in the colder months. There are so many things to do nearby that we are very much looking forward to a return stay! Mandy & Alan June 2023.

- Alan, June 2023

Thank you for a lovely feedback Mandy and Alan. It was lovely to meet you both and hopefully we’ll see you again! Property Owner

Christine October 2022

“On arrival at The Haven we had a lovely warm welcome from Mary the owner to hand over the key.”

Inside she had left some tasty homemade treats and some flowers which were a pleasant touch. The Haven is light and airy with modern furniture exactly like the photos online. We found everything we needed there and everything was spotless. The bed was extremely comfortable and we both slept exceptionally well. Wacton is very quiet at night with hardly any passing traffic. On finding out we are vegetarians Mary must have researched Long Stratton because she texted me to tell me of a local vegetarian cafe, a very thoughtful gesture. All in all Mary is a lovely host, the couple next door are lovely and friendly and The Haven is perfect for peace and quiet after a busy day sightseeing. It’s a perfect base for visiting North Norfolk, the east coast, and villages to the west or south of Norwich. Would we recommend The Haven? You bet we would.

- Christine, October 2022

Thank you for such a lovely feedback Christine. We enjoyed meeting you both and are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at The Haven. Property Owner
Ann September 2022

Richard June 2022

“We enjoyed our stay at the Haven, it was well equipped with all one needs.”

Mary was a charming host who had gone to the trouble or providing us a list of places to visit baring in mind that I needed easy access for a mobility scoter. It was our first visit to Norfolk and the Broads and we blessed with good weather which made for a relaxing stay. Thank you Mary for making our stay so enjoyable.

- Richard, June 2022

Thank you for taking time to give a lovely feed back, we loved meeting you both and you were an inspiration. Property Owner
David June 2022

“Had a lovely relaxing stay at the Haven.”

The village was and peaceful and the local people were really friendly. Super hosts. The bed was lovely and comfy and facilities good for the week we were staying. We were out most days with our greyhound, Alan, who settled really well and enjoyed all the walks and sniffs in the local area. Wacton is a really good base for exploring Norfolk. We would definitely recommend this cottage x

- David, June 2022

Thank you for taking time to send such positive feedback David. We’re glad you enjoyed your holiday and it was lovely to meet you both, and Alan too! Property Owner

James March 2022

“This was our third stay at The Haven and as always everything was first class.”

The Haven is in a beautiful setting directly facing the village orchard and is an oasis of calm for those that need it. Great countryside for walking and really close to a superb road network, 20 minutes by car from Norwich with its shops, big and small, restaurants, theatre etc, we are still finding things to do and new places to go and more to come. You will be really well looked after by Mary, Michael and their four legged assistant Monty, I can’t wait for our next stay.

- James, March 2022

Thank you both, it was lovely to see you again and thank you for looking after The Haven so well too. We look forward to seeing you both again very soon.. Property Owner

James October 2021

“This was our second stay at The Haven and just like the first visit it didn’t disappoint.”

The property gives the impression of being small but it is deceptively roomy and comfortable. Facing an orchard and surrounded by countryside it really is an haven. All on one level, it is perfect for anyone, like me, with mobility problems, providing you can step into the property. The wonderful hosts Mary and Michael, not forgetting Monty, the four legged assistant, are on hand to ensure you have all you need to enjoy your stay in this wonderful location. The village is quiet and peaceful with very friendly neighbours and is minutes away from the major road network to take you to all the attractions Norfolk has to offer. The property is spotlessly clean and a welcome pack awaits your arrival. We are booked in again for March and are looking forward to our return.

- James, October 2021
Keith October 2021

- Susan, October 2021
James August 2021

“The Haven is situated in a beautiful location, rural but just minutes away from shops and other facilities.”

The on-site owners Mary, Michael and the four legged assistant Monty will ensure all possible needs are catered for. Wonderful hosts who make you feel welcome, even before you arrive and a close proximity to the road network will take you to all the great attractions and lovely villages Norfolk has to offer. The accommodation has everything you need for your stay, be it short or long, scrupulously clean and very comfortable. We have already booked our next stay.

- James, August 2021
John August 2021

“All was as expected on our arrival.”

Lovely owners and a friendly little dog. The owners were very informative and gave us great ideas for visiting places both local and afar. Cottage was clean and comfortable. The location was excellent for us. Out in the country with walks from the door. The Fox and Hounds pub was walkable from the cottage and served good food with a steak night which was good value. All in all we had a very comfortable and pleasant stay. Recommended.

- John, August 2021
Ashley July 2021

“The Haven is an excellent little place to stay.”

The owners are so welcoming and extremely helpful and they could not do any more for you. The location is fantastic, with Walton being a lovely quiet village. It is ideally located for both inland and coastal explorations. I would highly recommend The Haven and it is a place my partner and I are seriously considering booking again!

- Ashley, July 2021
Jody July 2021

“Everything was as expected - the owner Mary provided welcome gifts for us and our dog.”

Thank you Mary. The location provided some excellent choice of dog walks of varying lengths which was great. Everything was provided in the accommodation and the kitchen well equipped. Seating in the lounge and the bed were very comfortable. The courtyard garden had good seating and was a lovely sun trap as well as a great viewing place for the stars with no light pollution. Definitely will return and highly recommend
