Lovely cottage. Well equipped. Great welcome hamper with cake and wine - just what we needed!

Great accommodation; well equipped (slow cooker and an air fryer!); lovely location and a very generous welcome pack. Debbie and Rob were excellent hosts.

Alan

Comfortable, welcoming and relaxing. Debbie and Rob were excellent hosts, introducing themselves when we arrived and available if we had any issues.

Regina

What a beautiful place to stay - The Hayloft was lovely and clean, and Debs and Rob were so helpful. It's a very peaceful and restful location - will definitely recommend!

Dorinda

The Hayloft is a fantastic home from home. Beautifully decorated with quality linen, towels and all the amenities you could want or need. Set in the most idyllic surroundings, perfect to relax and unwind but still central to everything. The wonderful and attentive hosts left a beautiful welcome pack which was greatly appreciated. Would definitely stay here again

Verity

The hayloft was fantastic. I would recommend it to everyone. It had everything you could possibly want. there was also a lovely hamper waiting for us which was a very nice surprise. I would definitely stay there again. The owners were very nice and welcoming. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Julie

The Hayloft was the perfect base for our stay in north Norfolk, it had everything we needed, well thought out with a home from home feel. It is located in a beautiful, peaceful and rural setting. We were able to walk from the door in the evening and enjoyed sightings of the guinea fowl, pea hens and wildlife such as pheasants, deer and hares. We were able to travel to villages and towns in the surrounding area and coast, we were also lucky with the early heat wave and were able to come back from visits and soak up the sun in the courtyard. We received a warm welcome and hamper from the owners who were close to hand but not intrusive in any way. We wouldn't hesitate to choose the Hayloft again next time we are travelling to Norfolk.

Osman

Brilliant accommodation! Fell in love with the place as soon as we arrived. Surrounding area was picturesque. The host Debâ??s was lovely and really looked after us. Highly recommend. Definitely coning back!

Victoria

We stayed here for Christmas week and the Hayloft was fantastic! There were 5 of us and it worked perfectly. There was a beautiful Christmas Tree and the whole place was toasty warm, comfortable and inviting when we arrived. There was plenty of everything we needed for the week as well as a really lovely hamper.

Max

A wonderful cottage which works well especially with 2 bathrooms. Location is in the heart of the countryside, so peaceful. The entire north Norfolk coast is 30 to 40 minutes away so there is so much to do and you can retreat to the cottage in the evening. The Town is 10 minutes away with all you need. Brilliant time.

Mamta

Debbie and Robert were great hosts. The property itself is very beautiful, cosy and well-maintained. It has all the amenities you need in a stay away from home and the location is perfect for exploring all that Norfolk has to offer.

Katie

The cottage had absolutely everything we needed and more. Gorgeous setting- rural but not too far from local amenities. So much wildlife to see. Would definitely love to come back for another trip to the Hayloft.

David

Lovely place and ideal for birdwatching locations such as Sculthorpe, Snettisham, Titchwell, Holme & Cley. Tucked away from the main roads in a quiet valley with a resident Barn owl which showed itself regularly. The cottage is clean, fresh and modern. A great place to unwind and slow down. The only downside is there is no phone signal as it is set down in a valley, but they do have good broadband so you can always make calls via WhatsApp.

Sandra

An excellent escape from the routine of everyday life. An ideal location for exploring North Norfolk, with its many nature reserves and amazing coastline. The Hayloft is relaxing, with comfortable sofas and beds, well equipped, and lots of space. And if you like the peace and quiet of the countryside, then this is the place for you!

Margie

The Hayloft was a beautiful, comfortable and well equipped property and you could tell that a lot of love and thought had gone into the creating of it. It is set in lovely countryside which enabled us to have lovely evening strolls having used the car during the day to visit places. With the use of a car there is plenty to see in the area ranging from lovely coastal walks, visits to stately homes or to a Wildlife reserve which we really enjoyed. Owner is a wonderful host, very friendly and helpful with information etc. We were also spoilt with a very generous and thoughtful hamper.

Really lovely, well equipped, clean cottage. Warm and comfy after long winter walks. Great location, most beaches only 20/30 min drive away. Very peaceful.
