The cottage was clean and comfortable. Places to visit were not too far away and there is a small grocers nearby to pop into for any foodie bits - "Andy's". We had incredible weather and visited three nearby beeches. ##### Paulette T.

I was pleased to see that one had been installed upon our arrival for our latest stay. The Cottage has everything you need for your base in North Norfolk. Comfortable, quiet with plenty of room for 3 or 4 adults. It's well equipped and there is a decent pub within a short walk. Fakenham is only 10 minutes away where you will find a large Tesco for all your needs. ### 8/10 Good #### Alison G. 9 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Small cosy cottage The cottage is small and cosy - extremely well equipped. There is no dishwasher as listed and unfortunately the log burner was due a service so we couldn’t use that. The beds are comfortable and the rooms warm. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to cater for yourself. We did have an issue with the drainage from the shower - we reported this and within the day the issue had been solved. Great communication from the owner. The cottage was a great base for exploring North Norfolk ##### Alison G. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 1 Sept 2022 #### Stayed at April Cottage for long weekend in August The cottage is lovely and in a quiet village with a nice pub. Location is great as Holkham and Brancaster beaches are 20 minutes away by car. We had a lovely time visiting these and other nice estates such as Sandrigham and good meal at the PUB one of the evenings. It was great that the cottage was pet friendly so we brought our family dog along with our children. The property had everything we needed, including some essentials (soaps/detergents etc...), but could have been a bit more clean and the kitchen is a bit outdated. There were some flies downstairs so that was not very nice and was not clear why that was the case. I think that a few days before our arrival there was an issue with the water tank in the roof, perhaps that caused an influx on flies. All in all however it was a good stay for the price and we may come back. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor 20 Sept 2023 #### Disappointed I don’t normally write reviews but on this occasion I felt it was necessary, especially due to the lack of communication from cleaning company & landlords direct. On arrival there was a smell of dogs in the lounge, the floors had not been hoovered so there were lots of bits & fluff rolling around also carpet in lounge had lots of dog hairs on it , dog hairs & a lot of cobwebs & spiders in corners of rooms, also stains on floor in kitchen where it had not been mopped, cutlery was very stained & needs soaking in some Milton, outside space there was some dog poo & cigarette nubs that had been left, upstairs was the same story apart from there was a dirty tissue that had been left under the bed just by bedside table, beds were clean but there were a lot of hairs on bedding, we felt it had just had the very basics done cleaning wise, lots of dust on skirting boards etc, bathroom floor not been cleaned hairs & dust in corners, tried to get in touch with cleaners but did not reply to my email & also rang landlords twice with no communication from them either. It’s such a shame as it’s in a great location but I honestly would not recommend due to the slap dash cleanliness of the cottage, we would definitely not return ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison F. 15 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cosy cottage in great location. From start to finish this break was just what we hoped it would be. A lovely cottage, set in a friendly village with a great pub and coffee shop, with fantastic beaches for long walks. Add to that beautiful October sunshine and a chance to see the Snettisham Spectactular what more could we ask. Thank you. ##### Alison F.
