Postbox Cottage
Description
Set in the agricultural village of Feltwell in Norfolk, is this charming stone-fronted dwelling, Postbox Cottage.
Featuring an enclosed, pet-friendly garden, a well-stocked contemporary kitchen, a welcoming living/dining room with a woodburning stove, and prime location near local amenities, the cottage welcomes four guests, ideal for families and friends alike.
Rustle up some home cooked meals before retiring to the dining table, perfectly set for direct views of the glowing woodburner.
On warmer days, head outside for an alfresco dining arrangement, whilst watching over your four-legged companion.
When sleep calls, retire to the characterful bedrooms, including a double with en-suite facilities, and a twin, both serviced by a ground-floor shower room.
Once you're refreshed and ready to explore, visit the centre of Feltwell, home to the Wellington Pub Feltwell, a 9-hole course at Feltwell Golf Club, and several different shops.

Heading towards Thetford, you'll have plenty of fun-filled activities to enjoy and to burn off some energy, including Go Ape, Target Archery at Outdoor Activity Centre, and Thetford Forest Park, a national forest dotted with outdoor activities and walking trails.
King's Lynn is a recommended area to add to your itinerary, home to history-rich landmarks, including Stories of Lynn - Museum and Old Gaol Cells, and Lynn Museum, or if you'd prefer to be outdoors, encircle the picturesque grounds surrounding the River Great Ouse Path.

What guests are saying
It was a comfortable cottage but a but small for four adults.
The owner was very helpful brought clean towels at the end of the first week. The only negative thing I have got is that the oven and the baking trays were dirty. Very nice cottage great location.
Our first impression wasn't good, it was a lot smaller than I thought it would be especially the ensuite in the double bedroom.
I was expecting a proper sink but it was one of those toilet sinks. The shower was nice though and not slippy. Lots of spiders when we first got there which disappeared, however one night as I sat on the double bed getting ready for bed a big spider come running down the pillow towards me. One of my pet hates is spiders on the bed. Anyway I managed to catch it. The living room was comfortable, we were there during the heatwave and because the sun did not shine in the living room it stayed cool whilst it was 34 degrees outside and the floor was stone which helped. The garden was very secure for our dog which meant she could go in and out and we knew she was safe. We like our Telly but this was a smart TV so used the wifi and apps and a lot of the time only Prime and Netflix worked. The parking is a tight squeeze but I managed not hit anything. Good location for visiting attractions and we had Sunday lunch at the Red Lion which was very good. One thing that peeved me, in the guest book the previous guests thanked them for the welcome pack. The only things we found was ice cubes and an opened packet of biscuits. However there was a jar of dog biscuits which our dog did enjoy. Personally we would not stay there again but we did enjoy our holiday.
The actual property is kept clean to a high standard.
Everything there to be self sufficient during our stay. Only a ten minute walk to the Wellington pub which has very welcoming staff and ice cold beer & cider for on a hot day. Unfortunately too many niggles for me to not stay there again. Shame about the location. Road is just far too busy to be able to get a proper nights sleep when it’s warm as needed to have the windows open. At home we live 200 yards from the M6, and I sleep soundly with all the windows open. Bed mattresses could do with being replaced as they are very tired. Wrong lamp shade in the twin room as I kept clunking my head on it, and I’m only 5ft 9. The en-suite sink is barely a trickle for some reason. The down stares shower curtain rail is fitted a tad too high so the tile floor gets soaked, even with the towel provided snugged up against the shower base. The floor is starting to deteriorate as a result of the water ingress. Would have enjoyed the outside space more, just not a fan of peacock poo right outside the back door. Its like having a pet dog out there with the size of those nuggets. For some reason, even without the fire being used for quite some time, I would imagine as it’s so warm just lately, an overpowering smell of smoke in the property, even upstairs. Very unusual. Maybe something to do with wind direction down the chimney. So yeah, unfortunately it’s no real surprise it will be taken off the rental market very soon by the family. Considering they live just next door, I was surprised I didn’t hear a peep out of them to see how we were getting on. I realise some people step back and don’t want to disturb their client’s privacy, but when there’s a temporary metal grid plate over a manhole that clangs whenever a vehicle hits it in the middle of the drive, on top of an annoying dog barking at night, a little “hello how you getting on”, would have been welcomed. Just got the feeling that we were more of an inconvenience or ironically, an annoyance to them by staying there. So just a few things there that made our stay much less comfortable than I would have liked it to be. Looking forward to a good nights sleep next to a motorway now, sad really.
