“Lovely, comfortable and well equipped cottage and we enjoyed our stay there.”

Only a minor niggle but as previous people commented, the lights in sitting room are a bit too subdued.

“Lovely area and pretty cottage, with wonderful countryside surroundings Nice lounge and good telly reception.”

Very good kitchen - white goods all excellent.Masses of equipment all very clean but saucepans not non-stick so everything did stick!! Unfortunately hob is an old electric hob and takes ages to heat up. Toaster which looks big and modern only takes half slices. Every floor board on the first floor creaks alarmingly - no point in trying to tiptoe to the bathroom at dead of night!Apart from the spiders everything else was fine!!

- Barbara, September 2023

Sykes contacted me regarding your feedback, especially the scores that you gave the property which did not correlate with the comments you made in your feedback. I had a very expensive set of non stick teflon pans and frying pans but found that guests used metal spoons which scratched the surfaces off. The pans I replaced them with are stainless steel and again, a good make so I hope they would last longer than the last ones. Having replaced the oven not too long ago, I know that I would like to replace the hob but it does work. You have set it on No 1 setting and not No 6 which is why you found it slow. Toaster is perfectly adequate and I used it myself the day before you arrived. The property dates back to 1825 so yes there are some creaking floorboards but in order to rectify the issue, I would need to pull up every carpet upstairs and replace the flooring. After having no income during Covid, this is not something that I can do at the moment. Spiders, bless them. I de web the place and they return just as fast as I get rid of them. They are not dirty and unfortunately, we are in the middle of the countryside so you have to expect that creepy crawlies will come to visit. Property Owner

“We absolutely loved every minute of our stay at 2 Stud Cottage.”

The cottage is gorgeous, clearly decorated with great attention to detail and providing all mod cons for a hassle-free and highly enjoyable stay. The cottage is located in the most beautiful and tranquil spot, in the countryside, but still very close to Norwich, the Broads, beaches and many other places of interest. The owner, Lin, was very friendly and welcoming. We will certainly be back! Thank you!

“Had a lovely stay at Stud cottage.”

Our host was welcoming but not intruding. We appreciated nice touches like flowers, laid table & milk in the fridge. Interior of the cottage was clean & homely (outside photos don't do it justice). Rooms are a good size. Beds were a little hard/springy. Shower lovely. Kitchen well stocked with good quantities/variety of things (labelling cupboards may help in finding things). As with most holiday accommodation, bring large pans if you are family catering for cooking. Outside had a lawn to sit out on and for children to play. There's a fair number of things you can drive to locally (but not in walking distance): Bure Valley Railway (quaint, though expensive) Felbrigg Hall National Trust (stately home & gardens), Sea Palling beach (sandy, but crowded). Supermarkets, there is a small Morrisons 10 mins away and a larger Tesco 20mins. There's also the whole coast line to explore, the Broads & Norwich. Thank you Lin for letting us stay in your accommodation!

“The cottage was wonderful.”

- comfortable, cosy, well-equipped. The shower was astonishingly powerful, towels were plentiful and the bed was comfortable. It is ideally placed for visiting eastern Norfolk. The only tiny niggle was the lack of a bright light in the living room which made knitting difficult. We would happily return.

- Lesley, February 2023
Jennifer December 2022

“This cottage was perfect for our short break over Christmas.”

It was warm, comfortable and quiet. The instructions on how to find the property made it easy to find Owner was friendly and attentive making sure we had everything we needed without intruding. We stayed here many years ago and our second visit was just as good as the first. We will return for longer next time.

- Jennifer, December 2022
Helen November 2022

“This is a lovely cottage to stay in, it's warm, cosy, beautifully maintained and the fresh flowers make you feel so welcome!”

The kitchen is well equipped and when there's a clear sky the starts are awesome! Enjoy!

Lynn October 2022

“Loved the extra touches like fresh flowers in the living room and kitchen”

- Lynn, October 2022
Bryony October 2022

“Pictures on the website don’t do this cottage justice, lovely sized bedrooms, good sized bathroom and kitchen.”

The owners were lovely and answered any questions we had, always friendly and on site during the day if there were any problems. The tin opener didn’t work but that is an easy fix and it would be useful to have a bin guide so guests know what goes in what bin and what to do with glass.

- Bryony, October 2022
Dave September 2022

“Cottage was a decent place to stay - unfortunately the living room was very poor for lighting as there were only a few low powered lamps so you could not read a book, map, newspaper, sew etc.”

A bright ceiling light would be better as the room was very cosy for watching TV but anything else was a chore. Owners very friendly and helpful.

- Dave, September 2022
Ibrahim August 2022

“Second stay at this property and enjoyed as much as the first time.”

The house was easy to find with the instructions given and the owner was present on site when we arrived and is onsite every day to tend to the horses. As for facilities the house has all you need and is a really good base for exploring from.

- Ibrahim, August 2022
Dennis May 2022

“First class facilities and location.”

Surpassed expectations. I would thoroughly recommend!

- Dennis, May 2022
Michael May 2022

“The cottage is comfortable and clean with lovely views.”

The owner goes to great effort to provide all the little extras as well as having those expected. We have returned after a previous visit and would have no hesitation in doing so again when we visit the area. Thank you Lin for providing us with a covid safe haven.

- Michael, May 2022

“Lovely cottage which is warm and has a generosity about it.”

The kitchen is really well kitted out and the flowers and candles make it very homely. Lovely location to visit so many places. We will be back!

- Helen, February 2022
Keith February 2022

“Loved the cottage and the location.”

Lin gave us a warm welcome and gave us advice on where to visit. The cottage is comfortable and has everything you need for your stay. Perfect location for exploring the Norfolk broads, the coast, and Norwich City.

- Keith, February 2022
Marilyn December 2021

“Thank you Lin and David for your friendly welcome and for all the effort you went to putting up Christmas decorations so that it felt less of a holiday property and more of a home.”

The cottage was in very good decorative order with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The whole property was very clean and well appointed throughout. We explored the Broads, enjoyed a Christmas morning at Blickling Hall, but the highlight was seeing the seals and pups at Horsey Gap…an experience not to be missed!

- Marilyn, December 2021
Mark October 2021

“It is a lovely wam and well provisioined holiday cottage.”

The owner was incredily helpful and communication excellent. We hope to be back in the new year sometime. Thankyou

- Mark, October 2021
Ibrahim July 2021

“It's such a wonderful place.”

Really quiet and tucked away in the countryside (was easy to find with the directions the owner gave) yet close enough to access everything you want whether this was the city of Norwich 8 miles away, the north coast (Cromer) 15 miles away or east coast (Great Yarmouth) 25 miles. The house is really well presented, clean and tidy and had all the amenities and more that you would require for the holiday, really all you have to do is turn up. The oven, hob, dishwasher and washing machine are easy enough to use. We are a family of 5 so for the sleeping arrangements one of us had to use the Z-bed which was no problems as this was comfy and both me and my son had a sleep on it. For the outside of the property there is your own section of garden to hang the clothes, you are able to wander around the farm looking in the stables or the pond. The owner is really nice and was there on a morning as she has her office on-site and tends the grounds. Only problem we had was we had to come home, but we would love to go back in the future.

- Ibrahim, July 2021
Luke July 2021

“We had a fantastic week at the farm.”

Lin was very welcoming and the cottage was beautiful. The surroundings were idyllic and we will hopefully get to stay there again one day.

- Luke, July 2021
Colin June 2021

“Third time back at this lovely cottage and, once again, enjoyed a fabulous stay.”

As always, it was extremely clean, well equipped/maintained and comfortable. Lyn and David provided a very warm welcome, and were both very helpful throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble and the communication prior to and also during our stay was excellent. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

- Colin, June 2021
David June 2021

“The location is ideal, near to the Broads, Norwich and the Coast.”

We were fortunate to have excellent weather which always helps. The closest local pub was closed due to new owners taking over, but it will be open by now We ate at the Fox, and at the excellent Honingham Buck. Traffic free bike rides on the Weaver’s way, a visit to Sandringham, RSPB reserve at Strupshaw Fen, the nature reserve at Hickling Broad, fish and chips at Cromer and the fabulous Old Vicarage gardens, and hire of a day boat, all excellent visits. A big thanks to Lin, the owner of the cottage, always available for help and advice.

- David, June 2021

“Lovely cottage,the heating system was fantastic.”

After a hectic day out it was lovely to come back and turn the heating on and within 5mins the cottage was toasty. There was everything that we needed for a great stay the host had even supplied bacon,eggs, sausage, bread and milk and to top it off two bottles of wine. Definitely recommend if you want somewhere lovely and quiet in a great location for exploring North Norfolk.

- Frank, October 2019
Colin June 2019

“Second time we've stayed at this lovely cottage and, once again, we weren't disappointed.”

The owner does everything to make your stay as comfortable as it possibly could be and we were really made to feel at home in this cosy, clean, well equipped cottage. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the Norwich area.

- Colin, June 2019
Philip June 2019

Found the location of the cottage ideal for the coast, the broads and Norwich - would happily use the cottage if in the area again

Plenty of cooking utensils etc provided. Appreciated the welcome pack. Situated in a beautiful quiet setting. Some building work taking place but didn't interfere with our stay. Good location for visiting the coast and broads. We would definitely return and recommend.

Ann April 2019

“2 Stud Cottage is a spacious and very comfortable holiday home, in fact one of the most comfortable we have stayed in.”

It is well equipped with everything of an excellent quality. We appreciated the fresh flowers in the kitchen and lounge and the milk in the fridge. We would certainly recommend the cottage and hope to stay there again when we are visiting our family in Norwich.

- Ann, April 2019

“Very comfortable cottage, has everything you could possibly need.”

Surrounded by fields and countryside. It is also nice to wander around the livery and meet the horses. Very close to Norwich and the coast for days out. Extremely generous breakfast pack included.

- Sue, March 2019
Christopher February 2019

“Before arrival I was telephoned, received a short introduction and was offered more information if I tendered my email address to facilitate the sending of cottage and locality information which was most kind and helpful.”

On arrival after a long journey, and with only being able to give a vague indication of arrival time we were greeted personally and shown around.....Not the usual "Find a key in a box and here is the security code"! We were shown around the cottage, its facilities and equipment, some basic foodstuffs [milk, butter, sausages, bacon, cereals, bread, jams] which were supplied to us lest we arrive outside of shop opening times, and two bottles of wine! Again we were told the location of local restaurants, pubs, and shops. This personal touch is so rare nowadays and most welcome. The cottage was immaculate, clean and everything worked....more rare than one would imagine! On departure day we again received the owner's cheery smile without any pressure as to time of departure. I was just turning the dishwasher on and hoovering but I was told that was not necessary! I offer holiday accommodation myself so I know the importance of per arrival information and meeting and greeting so I was cheered that some others shared my own attention to detail! I would have no hesitation in returning for another visit, and in recommending this cottage to friends.

- Christopher, February 2019
June January 2019

“Definitely recommend 2 Stud Cottage, warm and cosy but not small as photos appear to suggest, immaculate throughout, very comfortable bed, pillows, sofas etc.”

Tastefully furnished and decorated with attention to detail. Kitchen equipment good. Full control of central heating system. Sky TV in lounge and bedroom a plus. Wonderful rainfall shower with power handheld attachment as well as a bath. Easy off road parking in countryside surroundings. Very generous ‘welcome pack’. Thank you Lin. Would recommend Farm to Fork butchers/deli opposite The Recruiting Sergeant.

- June, January 2019
Joanna October 2018

“A few details no longer apply as there have been changes of the property e.”

G. the bathroom and no dressing room. However the accommodation is bright spacious and well equipped for a family stay. We appreciated the breakfast pack- it lasted 3 days! And although no wine, we had juice instead which suited as visited the last week of "Stoptober".

- Joanna, October 2018
Robin September 2018

“We stopped for a couple of nights in this comfortable and clean cottage around 20 mins drive from Norwich.”

Although ours was only a weekend stay and we didn’t spend much time there or do any cooking, it’s really well-equipped and I’m sure would be a good base for a longer stay. Lin the owner was very helpful and accommodated our late arrival by leaving the keys in a safe place.

- Robin, September 2018
Julie September 2018

“The cottage was warm, cosy and comfortable, very welcoming.”

The facilities in the cottage were excellent with a well equipped kitchen and bathroom. It was spotlessly clean. The owner was very helpful and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble and she communicated with us throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend it and stay again ourselves. In fact we enjoyed it so much we stayed and extra night.

- Julie, September 2018
Margaret September 2018

“The cottage was lovely and the location was very calm and peaceful.”

They had a mare who was expecting to give birth in a weeks time so it was an interesting experience to see her, she was lovely. We had nice welcome from lin and there was lots of information on the area which we had not visited before. We had amazingly warm, sunny weather, very enjoyable.

- Jennifer, April 2018

Would definitely like to stay at the cottage again, it was so cosy and comfortable and very well equipped.

- Lesley, November 2016
Pat September 2016

“This is an extremely comfortable holiday cottage.”

It is spacious and very well equipped and in an incredibly quiet area - no road noise at all, just silence when you wake. It's within easy reach of several National Trust properties and woodland gardens, and also the Broads and coast. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking essentials and much, much more - nothing like some properties we've stayed in where there is not even salt! There was a very generous welcome pack. The only point to mention is that there is not really a garden as such, just a table and chairs outside the door, perhaps 'shared field' is more accurate. However this would be no problem to adults, just maybe if you have small children. All in all, an excellent experience.

- Pat, September 2016
Sheryl August 2016

“Brilliantly situated for touring the Norfolk Coast which is really lovely and general sightseeing.”

Cottage is really comfortable and beautifully furnished. Would recommend The Chequers Pub in the village of Hainford which is very popular and it is a good idea to book if you want to eat - it is very popular. Used the Park and Ride which runs from the Airport to get into Norwich for sightseeing/shopping - it is really good value, free to park at the airport and the buses run every ten minutes . Would definitely book this cottage again.

- Sheryl, August 2016
John June 2016

“A fantastic property in a great location.”

Would definitely recommend staying here again.

- John, June 2016

A March 2014

“Having visited many properties in the last two years in both the UK and France this property meets very high standards in all aspects of presentation, décor, furnishings, kitchen equipment and entertainment provision in all rooms.”

These standards should be seen as an example to other owners whose properties are available to rent. Additionally the owner was charming, nothing to much trouble including the welcome pack.

The owner a lovely lady welcomed us personally. As we arrived just before Christmas, we were most delighted to be welcomed with a fully lit Christmas tree in the lounge and a fully decorated Christmas dinner table. A lovely little cottage in a peaceful location close to Norwich and the Broadland Villages of Coltishall, Wroxham and Horning.

- Elaine, December 2013

The owner greeted us personally and was always friendly. Loads of things to do round and about - we were sad to leave and we'd love to return one day. Beautiful horses too... what more could we ask for?

“A lovely cottage in a peaceful location.”

Kids really loved seeing the horses. The house is very well equipped, warm and comfortable. Loads of room for the kids to run about. The food pack provided free of charge by the owner was really appreciated. Sky TV in the living room and bedrooms kept the kids happy in the mornings.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stud Cottage.”

A wonderful cottage. So cosy and everything we needed. We had a walk round the farm and the kids loved seeing the horses. A lovely welcome pack awaited us and lovely people around the farm and very helpful. Very quiet and close enough to places for things to do.

“It was very very peaceful, the lady who owned it was extremely kind and friendly.”

There were all sorts of little extras around the house which made it welcoming and it felt like home from home. The paddocks outside had beautiful horses and it was wonderful to see them.
