Fantastic location. Easy access to so many places. Such a delight to be able to look over the pond and be greeted by the ducks every morning. Derek the owner is absolutely lovely.

The cottage was lovely and cosy, very well equipped. Just be aware of the low door frames if you are tall. The location was brilliant and there were so many places to visit. The duck pond made it. We had such fun feeding the friendly ducks and geese everyday. Very secure for our two dogs. We would most definitely go back!

Our recent 2 weeks in Pond Cottage were as peaceful and relaxing as our first visit in April.

Great location for exploring area, lovely view of the pond just outside of cottage with very friendly ducks and geese also plenty of wildlife in the field. Cottage very well equipped, towels provided. Low doorframe and on staircase. Very comfortable bed, lots of hot water.

A quaint but lovely cottage in a beautifully quiet village setting. Hares and rabbits in the field, bullfinches nesting in a box in a tree in the garden, on the pond mallard, ducklings and geese all very unafraid and hungry, and a beautiful apple tree in the garden covered in blossom. This was our first visit and we are not regretting for a moment Read morethat we had booked again for October before our first visit took place. Hide

A clean and comfortable cottage, especially with the newly installed gas central heating. The cottage has double and twin bedrooms - the twin bedroom is only accessible through the double bedroom. This is OK for children but put our adult daughter and her partner off of staying more than one night. Bathroom and toilet are on the ground floor so mayRead more be challenging for nocturnal visits for those with restricted mobility. Watch out for the low door between the kitchen and living room.

Small, quaint and quirky cottage. Very well positioned for access to the whole North Norfolk coastal area and around. Very quiet area in spite of nearby road. Lovely outlook over duckpond. Cosy and comfy with everything you need. Small shady and secure garden ideal for our small dog.
