Having previously enjoyed many weekends away in this country over the last year including through Norfolk Hideaways we had high expectations of the property, spending a little more on a 3 night stay then we would normally due to a special birthday. The property was lovely and in a fabulous location, however just not very welcoming. It felt sparse and cold with attention to detail missing. We looked forward to the open fire but had only been left 4 logs for our first evening. These burnt in no time. Luckily we had come prepared with a bag of logs. The fridge was clean but empty, a bottle of milk would not have gone amiss. Perhaps a small welcome hamper would be helpful. The fridge also had a very strong odour, a bit like bleach which remained all weekend. Not very pleasant for storing food. The side lamps in the lounge did not work and when we went to replace the bulbs from those left in the drawer, they didn’t work either. Some of the pillows have seen better days and we left we stripped the bed to be helpful, to find stains on the mattress protector, which probably should have been replaced. There was also an ornament in the bedroom that had been broken previously and really should have been removed rather than leaving it in pieces. Despite the little issues, the house was nice, the master bedroom lovely with its views and the location for walks from the doorstep fabulous. The local places to eat were really good too. We had a lovely weekend and with the issues resolved would recommend the property.
