Lovely location and nice cottage. Was a little disappointed there was empty salt and pepper and not even a pot of sugar was left for a cup of tea (or tea bags!) considering the amount paid. Luckily a shop is round the corner so we could buy sugar and tea bags on the first night. Snettisham is a lovely village

An interesting house - warm and comfortable. Despite being next to the school, we were never disturbed. The garden was lovely and we wish we could have used it more. You will never run out of cutlery or crockery! The house is amply equipped, although we agree with a previous review that it is a little tired. We liked the area with enjoyable visits Read moreto Kings Lynn, Sandringham and Holkham. A great Sunday lunch in the Rose and Crown. The whole area was very dog friendly, especially Holkham. Hide

Comfortable and ideally placed for north Norfolk coastline. A homely property with everything you could need. Village amenities very convenient and a few pubs to choose from. Only one minor thing to consider is you do need someone to direct you off the drive as entrance narrow and there is zero visibility getting onto the road, not a problem for a Read moreparty of 2 or more.

The cottage is charming retaining many original features. The garden is exceptional we were greeted by a carpet of bluebells and wisteria just coming into bloom. We had a couple of problems which were swiftly dealt with by the management team. Cottage in need of a little TLC.
