First & Last

We enjoyed our week in our little cottage everything was there you needed and the decor and cosiness was good. Smaller than anticipated but never the less a real sweetie of a cottage. The neighbours were not friendly at all in the fact that they just looked straight through you but you can’t change that. All in all a good week.

We loved the cottage, the reading room and sunny kitchen diner. Very comfortable and beautifully light and well furnished. A couple of comments I would wish to make though, the stairs are steep and treads narrow, quite difficult for someone with mobility problems. The fire alarm too near the cooker, every time I opened the oven, it went off. We moved it for our stay! There is very little room round the king size bed and the person on the far side would have to climb over the bed to get out. Not sure how the cleaner manages to make that bed. What would be great, would be if they could fence off that bit of grass, the dog wanted to be out there but had to be on a lead, in case he wandered into next doors’ gardens.

Nice bright cottage with stunning views courtesy of an upstairs sun room. Nice modern kitchen and extras like a dishwasher and washing machine. Comfy seating and bedrooms. Negatives were that the cottage could have been cleaner, we have dogs but there was quite a bit of dog fur on cushions etc. Also it is almost impossible to use the oven and hob without setting off the smoke alarm as it almost directly above the cooker and was sensitive to heat.

We had lots of issues with the cottage. Norfolk Hideaways tried their best to help. The final straw was when poor plumbing (the maintenance guys words not ours) caused the toilet to come away from the soil pipe emptying sewage all over the bathroom floor at 11:30pm leaving us no toilet facilities overnight. The worst holiday experience ever!! This was preceded by leaking windows, broken clothes drier and a few other issues.
