Very conveniently located for family in Watton. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Road a little busy at times and traffic noise could be heard from the front bedroom when the windows were open but fine when closed. Also sofa and chairs in front room were a little low for me because I have arthritis in my knees etc. I managed ok though and it wouldn't put me off staying again. Owner was lovely and very communicative. Neighbour was lovely too! All in all a wonderful stay and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

The cottage was clea, comfortable and very well equipped. The area was central to most places to visit in Norfolk. Some good dog walks direct from the cottage.
