Fabulous location.
We were between properties, having vacated our old house in Bucks on 10th and unable to complete in Norfolk until 21st. Peddars Cottage filled that gap with a home from home experience. Great location, spotless cottage with every facility we could wish for. Great comms from host.
One word of warning, the local pub, The Ostrich. Massively overrated and over priced. The George and Dragon down the road was better value, better quality fayre and very friendly.

Excellent, must stay property!
We stayed at Peddars Cottage for a long weekend. The house is perfect for a family. The rooms are bright, spacious, airy and the decor is modern and tasteful.
The owners provide some added extras which really make the difference to your stay here. Things like soap already in each room with a sink, kitchen towel, dishwasher tablets, cleaning products and the extra special touch of goodies for your four legged friend joining the trip.
The house has room for 6 but there were only 4 of us (humans!). Usually you have just enough cutlery and crockery but this is not the case at Peddars Cottage, more than enough!
Debbie was excellent at keeping in touch and even messaged us before we travelled to let us know the local pub was dog friendly and had a Greek BBQ night on while we were there (it was lovely!).
The check in and out were great, really easy and convenient. An emergency contact given for while we stayed and a useful manual in the house.
The house has a small court yard outside which is tastefully decorated with plenty of seating options, plants and lighting. A lovely little area to soak up the sun in while reading a book (which I did!).
Can't recommend the place highly enough. So many things to do on the doorstep - walks, paddles in the Ford, local history with the Castle and Priory, nice pub, chippy and spar shop close by. The village is beautiful and peaceful. There is also a children's play area up the road too.
We would love to return again soon and may even bring more family with is this time. If you are considering Peddars Cottage I would say book it, you won't regret it.

A perfect home from home
Debbie has been a perfect hostess - great communication before and throughout our stay. The house is very comfortable and well equipped to a high standard with every you need for a relaxing stay. Despite being in the heart of the village, the location was extremely quiet and peaceful. Lovely walks from the doorstep. Really couldn’t ask for more.

Immaculately presented property in historic Norfolk setting
Our group stayed at Peddar's Cottage for 5 nights . Our immediate impression was that our expectations were exceeded. The cottage was very well equipped and incredibly clean. It was bright, modern yet homely . Clearly a lot of thought and care had been put into its presentation.
It is situated in the heart of Castle Acre and is close to both historic sites and amenities. We were able to plan a variety of day trips taking in a steam railway, Sandringham, Sheringham, Wells next the Sea and various other attractions and villages , all with the minimum of driving.
Debbie , the owner, is a delight to deal with and we can highly recommend Peddar's Cottage as a vacation rental.
