“On arrival the owner claimed to have no booking via Sykes for ourselves.”

The property was obviously not prepared for our arrival and was extremely dusty and the floors had not been cleaned. Our first day was spent cleaning the house as the owner and Sykes both agreed that the property was habitable. No apologies from Sykes or the owners. I wouldn’t advise booking any property on grange farm, Norfolk Photographic evidence has been sent to TripAdvisor as there is no way to provide it on Sykes website.

“A delightful position the property was comfortable and provided all major requirements.”

The owner very helpful, and with horses and cats on the doorstep with a quiet and peaceful location, we feel another booking will not be long in being confirmed.

“Stud cottage is a fabulous & beautiful place to stay.”

The highest of quality touches including the furniture, everything has been thought of for a wonderful stay. Even the added extras such as cleaning products, dishwasher/washing tabs etc… Beautiful views of the countryside, with the horses in the nearby paddocks. Its an extremely quiet ‘get away from it all’ place. Owner Lin was on hand but not intrusive. Near to Norwich (near to the airport park and ride), Cromer, Sheringham and Wroxham for the broads! So glad we chose to spend our Xmas break at stud cottage and would not hesitate to recommend to all and will definitely book again. Thank you for making us so welcome and for the little treats left for us

“We recommend 1 Stud Cottage highly.”

It is good for couples and/or family getaway. It is in a beautiful location on the outskirts of Norwich. We would give it 5 Stars. It was immaculately clean and had everything you need for a relaxing stay. The wet room is fantastic, there was ample wardrobe space in the main bedroom which is huge, three TV’s and a log burner (which we did not use), the kitchen/living room was a great space and the cooking facilities were excellent. The owner Lyn was very nice, friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay if we visit the area again.

Judith October 2023

“Absolutely stunning, easy approach, plenty of parking.”

Inside not a penny has been spared, top class bed and sofas. Everything you could possibly need is provided. Not enough accolades to describe it. Lin is wonderful, friendly and approachable. We book three cottages a year and nothing competes against this one. Thank you Lin.

David September 2022

“Beautiful, comfortable bungalow, owner very helpful,brilliant facilities, shower could do with some grab rails for a disabled person who was with us but otherwise a very special holiday home, peaceful location.”

Thank you.

- David, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, I do not get any information if there is a disabled person in the party otherwise, I would tell people what is there and what they need to bring. I have now included this in my guest information sheet. Property Owner
Gloria September 2022

“Lovely cottage, beautifully furnished and well equipped kitchen.”

Had a lovely peaceful week. My one criticism would be the hall light which works on a censor. If you needed to get up at night it would come on then you would suddenly be plunged into darkness! Had to make sure you had the bedroom light on. Not enough to ruin the stay though. Thank you

- Gloria, September 2022
David September 2022

“We very much enjoyed our stay at Stud Cottage, and would love to return.”

The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. The owner was there to greet us on arrival and there was absolutely nothing to fault.

- David, September 2022
Catherine September 2022

“This property is well situated on a farm and in fairly close proximity to coast and Norwich.”

It has many disabled facilities. Superficially it looked fine when we arrived. However we left early due to finding several problems with the cleanliness of the property.

- Catherine, September 2022
Sharon July 2022

“A superb accommodation with very high standard of facilities, set in wonderfully peaceful surroundings.”

Great access for able bodied and disabled guests. Well positioned for easy driving to both the coast and the towns/cities of Norfolk. The owner, Lin, is extremely friendly and accommodating, a lovely person. There is lots of wildlife on your doorstep including kingfishers, herons, multiple other birds, rabbits, deer and much more. A true delight , I would definitely recommend this beautiful place.

- Sharon, July 2022
Jeffrey June 2022

“An wonderful property, a peaceful oasis, and a convenient area from which to explore the Norfolk Broads.”

Highly recommendable.

- Jeffrey, June 2022
Robert May 2022

“The property is far better in reality than on Syke’s site.”

The property is detached and It is spotlessly clean, quality equipment throughout. The cottage has beautiful peaceful views from all aspects. It’s a pity Sykes don’t know the answers to simple questions, such as is it detached, does it have blinds etc. We would thoroughly recommend the cottage to anyone who likes peace and quiet

- Robert, May 2022
Asha April 2022

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

Lovely, clean, comfortable and very well appointed cottage. The washing machine/washing line was really useful. The logburner was a joy - wood kindly provided by the owner. The facilities suited our mobility needs very well - it is rare to find a property with a wet room. The private parking is gravelled, which was a slight challenge for wheelchair use but was not insurmountable. Take care not to mount the paving slabs with a vehicle - they are not load bearing. When the fridge is next replaced, it would be worth getting one with a small freezer box, but again, not the world's end. Overall - loved it! Many thanks for creating such a charming cottage that accommodates the needs of those with mobility issues both discreetly and stylishly.

- Asha, April 2022
Jane April 2022

“A lovely mini break in a beautiful setting.”

Wheelchair accessible property, host very helpful and easy to communicate with.

- Jane, April 2022
Nicolete March 2022

“Excellent property.”

Didn't like being sent leaving instructions by text and e-mail - they are already at the property, they were just an annoyance on a pleasant break.

- Nicolete, March 2022
Simon December 2021

“We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage over New Year and the location is very peaceful with views over the fields.”

The cottage has all amenities and is very comfortable.The wet room is a good idea although the pressure of the shower could be better. t’s only 6 miles to Aylsham and Wroxham for shops and amenities and another 6 miles to the North Norfolk coast for days out. The local pub Chequers serves amazing food. It’s a perfect location for a break.

- Simon, December 2021
Mandy October 2021

“The perfect quiet and peaceful cottage , central location with great places to visit and eat nearby.”

Made to feel very welcome by Lyn , everything you could need for a great break, will definitely be returning.

- Mandy, October 2021
David October 2021

“1 Stud Cottage was a perfect place to base ourselves during our week long stay 1st - 8th October.”

It was immaculately furnished and exceptionally clean and, considering my disability,, served our purposes perfectly. The owners, Lin and David, were very welcoming and friendly. The cottage is a credit to them.

- David, October 2021
Ann September 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

The cottage is beautifully furnished & very comfortable. It is very peaceful with views to admire. We never had to travel far to visit places of interest or the coast.

- Ann, September 2021
Derek September 2021

“Linda and David were excellent hosts and sorted immediately a small problem we had with the bedding.”

Excellent lunch at the Chequers in the village. Good area to explore Norfolk, near to coast and broads.

- Derek, September 2021
Lisa September 2021

“Lovely cottage, friendly owner.”

- Lisa, September 2021
Svetlana August 2021

“The cottage is beautifully decorated with lots of original features incorporated.”

Our host Lin was very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. It’s very close to Wroxham, from where you can take a boat trip on the Norfolk Broads, half-hour drive to Cromer & Great Yarmouth, about a one-hour drive to Sandringham or Holkham & Hunstanton beaches. Also very convenient for Norwich. We had an absolutely brilliant time in beautiful Norfolk.

- Svetlana, August 2021
Alan June 2021

“This is the second year we have stayed in Stud Cottage.”

The location is a peaceful 50 acre stud farm with plenty of open space in front of the buildings. It is very handy for the Norfolk Broads, Norwich City facilities and the coast. The accommodation is well appointed and quite spacious with a kitchen well stocked with utensils, a large main double bedded room plus a smaller bedroom with twin beds. There are 3 sky TV's in different rooms. The owners are very helpful and do their best to cater for your requirements even providing mobility aids for my wife. We shall definitely be returning in future.

- Alan, June 2021
Claire May 2021

“It was lovely to stay on the farm and be made so welcome by everyone.”

It was a special experience

- Claire, May 2021
Gillian April 2021

“Excellent conversion with top class fixtures and furnishings.”

Everything one would need for a superb self catering holiday. Only constructive criticism is that due to limitations of space there was no freezer which was explained by the owner Lin when we queried directions and entry requirements. Full sky tv service included and wi-fi if the weather meant staying indoors. All brand new kitchen facilities except as noted, with a fantastic induction hob and double oven. Twin beds with excellent mattresses but we did not use main bedroom which other reviewers have noted has a rather soft mattress. All linens and towels of good quality. Highly recommended.

- Gillian, April 2021
Angela October 2020

“The cottage was perfect for us to get away from the four walls we find ourselves constantly looking at due to COVID19.”

The cottage is in a lovely private location on farm land and not far from Norwich. It is fitted out at the highest quality and we had such a warm welcome from the owner who ensured we had everything we needed to have a relaxed and stress free weekend We will definitely be returning to see the beautiful sun rise

- Angela, October 2020
Nicholas September 2020

“Had a fantastic break with the property exceeding our expectations.”

The owners Lin and David were lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful to make our stay in Norfolk really special. Cannot recommend the property or location enough, everything was fantastic and just a 30min drive from the coast.

Pippa August 2020

“What a lovely place to relax and wind down - if you love nature then this is the place to stay - surrounded by horses, bunnies, swifts and deer.”

The family kitchen/lounge is very spacious for a family of 4 people, the bedrooms are very generous and there's a lovely patio where you can dine alfresco! The owner is very friendly and helpful - there's a great chippy in Buxton and the sea is only 30 mins away. Highly recommended.

- Pippa, August 2020
Bruce July 2020

“Firstly your directions to the property were rubbish as you do not give where they start from, (we found the same last year with a cottage we booked with you in Pembrokeshire) The only other problem was the double bed it was so soft that it was very uncomfortable, which we did mention to the owner.”
