    It had everything you could need and the little extra touches - especially for the dogs - were really thoughtful. The hosts (Sharon and Tim) are lovely. We would thoroughly recommend Walnut Tree Cottage as a base to explore Norfolk and we will be sending the details to family to suggest they book a stay.

    Set in beautiful gardens. Easy parking. Generous welcome pack,.Smart tv, Good wifi for mobiles. Helpful hosts, but who do not intrude. Perfectly placed for both the broads and coast/beaches. Highly recommended

  • Joy

    They gave us a very warm welcome, and left us a very generous welcome basket of goodies, including butter and milk in the fridge. They had thought of absolutely everything so that we had a fabulous stay. Walnut Cottage was just perfect; I could have moved in. A great cottage for two couples sharing. It was ideally situated for us as guests of Hickling sailing club for the week. It was also ideal for days out exploring the local area. The local shop at Catfield was amazingly well stocked, and was just over the road, with Tesco just a few minutes drive away. We had a really lovely holiday here and were sad to leave.
