Aug 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place to stay and tour around from. The property in its total is vast making it ideal for famalies and groups. There are lots of facilities including 2 barns with games galore, childrens playground; a beautifully set, outdoor, heated swimming pool, ponds, fishing, walks and the horses that are stabled there all making for an interesting stay. The apartment itself was very spacious with very well equipped kitchen; not just 6 of everything by any means. Beds large and comfortable and lovely clean bathrooms. Set in tranquil surroundings with a bery helpful and friendly host. We would definitely recommend and visit again. all ##### Catherine L.

The Hayloft has spacious accommodation and we all had a good time. The kids love using the pool, swings and games areas, so they were kept busy. It was very hot during our stay and the owners brought extra fans to help keep the rooms cool at night.

The Hayloft was the perfect location for us all to meet at various points during the weekend, as the open plan living area easily accommodated a large group of 20. We were able to combine the tables so that we could all sit down and share a roast dinner together too. The cottage was a lovely space, which was clean and well stocked with crockery/cooking equipment. It had a lovely home from home feel with lovely views.

Our grandkids love the games barn! This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayne W. Oct 19, 2023 #### Excellent accommodation This is the fourth time we have started here. The hayloft is great value for money and is our favourite cottage. It has everything you need for a relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings. Our only complaint is that it does not allow service dogs which is very disappointing. Great communication with staff and they really ensure you have everything you need. I cannot fault the level of customer service. Will be returning next year to this great location. ##### Jayne W.

We were a party of 15 this time renting 3 cottages (this one plus Swallows & Stables) which all exclusively shared the walled garden, This was absolutely perfect as we had a dog and a 2 year old - neither of which we wanted to escape! The barn & the outdoor pool were well used by our group and a few ventured to the hard tennis courts too! Various beaches are 35 - 45 minutes drive away so the fine weather meant we did some exploring too. Another great time had by all ....making memories! - A BIG thank you to Sheelah, Jack & Kim!

Lovely countryside location but close to Norwich and other delights of Norfolk. The cottages are well equipped, very clean and comfortable and the hosts are friendly and will try and ensure any reasonable requests are implemented if possible. The games room is brilliant if children are staying. We hope to stay again when the heated outdoor swimming pool is open.

Oct 20, 2022 #### Can’t speak highly enough of these cottages I rented Hayloft, Waterside, Stables and Granary for a family gathering and they couldn’t have been better. So comfortable, well equipped and thoughtfully laid out. Having the large reception room in the Hayloft was brilliant. People could come together but also have space to themselves if they wished. The conversion is beautifully and tastefully done and the setting lovely. The games room was an added bonus and really helpful for uniting the generations! Communication with the owners was always friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these cottages and would love to return some day. Thank you. ##### Helen Q.

We have stayed at the cottages before so already knew that the grounds, facilities and customer service would be excellent. We hadn't seen the Hayloft before though and were very pleasantly surprised. The layout and views were amazing. We'll definitely be back!
