    “We enjoyed our stay at Norbank Cottage, Bressingham, between 22 October and 1 November 2024.”

    Although small - but almost ideal for an "elderly couple" like us - the cottage was very well equipped and easy to maintain. The only (slight) downside, and no fault of the owners, was the "Bungalow Knees" we have developed during the past 20 years of ground floor living, making the stairs to the mezzanine sleeping area a bit of a trial. However, we managed OK! As for the owners - Terry and Ann Betts - they were kind, helpful and very friendly, without being the least bit intrusive. The visit ...

    Although small - but almost ideal for an "elderly couple" like us - the cottage was very well equipped and easy to maintain. The only (slight) downside, and no fault of the owners, was the "Bungalow Knees" we have developed during the past 20 years of ground floor living, making the stairs to the mezzanine sleeping area a bit of a trial. However, we managed OK! As for the owners - Terry and Ann Betts - they were kind, helpful and very friendly, without being the least bit intrusive. The visit of their cleaner - Amy - at the mid-point of our stay - to change towels, bed linen, etc, was very much appreciated. Amy was most friendly and helpful, too! The property's Gardens were perfect for a short stroll - even in October - and will, no doubt, be outstanding during the summer months. An indicator of the friendliness of Terry and Ann, was their gift of a bottle of "Bubbly" on the "significant anniversary" during our stay - a most kind and unexpected present. Thank You, Terry, Ann and Amy, for making our stay so memorable. Kindest regards, Paul and Margaret.
