Mixed Review
The cottage is well situated and in a great area if you want to explore North Norfolk. The cottage is really quaint, has all the charm that you would expect, and has two good sized bedrooms and a garden in which you can see all the lovely wildlife in a tranquil environment. However there were issues with cleanliness which we didn't expect for the price we paid. You expect spiders of course being near a field, but the amount of cobwebs, dust, and general dirtiness of the downstairs in particular was pretty poor. We mopped the floor in the kitchen and living area and the water was black; the mop was bone dry so clearly hadn't been used prior to our check in, the cupboard handles were sticky, the large table in the living room area was also filthy and produced a black cloth when cleaned, and when we looked under the sofa to salvage a toy that had disappeared under it, well, we wish we hadn't looked.
There were some lovely touches though, such as the welcome snacks and drinks, which were much appreciated.
It's a shame as if the cottage was up to scratch with cleaning, and had a lick of needed paint (particularly up the stairs where there seems to have been an attempt to paint over the mould), then the property would be 5 stars. We just feel that for the price we paid for 4 nights, the level of care and attention in ensuring a comfortable stay in which we didn't have to clean prior to use, should have been better.
