About this property
Gardener's Cottage (F), Fring, Norfolk
Thoughtfully restored with modern interiors and open plan living areas, Gardeners Cottage is the ideal location for groups of families and friends. Situated on the Fring private estate, this unique holiday cottage has seasonal access to an outdoor heated swimming pool and tennis courts, as well as formal gardens and estate parkland.
Escape to the truly gorgeous Gardener's Cottage, set in a beautiful and very peaceful rural location with access to the walled garden, within the parkland and grounds of Fring Hall. Just a short drive to Brancaster beach and sleeping up to ten guests, its a fabulous cottage for group gatherings or families wanting to spend quality time together.
This lovely detached house has a bright and welcoming open plan living and kitchen space which gives direct access to the gardens through the huge bi-fold doors. The top quality bespoke kitchen has everything you need including a marbled-topped central island, five-ring ceramic hob and large American style fridge-freezer. You can dine outside or in with tables which seat up to sixteen, perfect for celebrating special occasions. Comfortable sofas around a large wood burning stove, and wall-mounted television with Sky and DVD player make this room equally cosy in winter. There's also a generous snug room for larger groups to spread out and relax.
On the ground floor you will find a spacious bedroom with a super-king bed. The remaining three beautiful bedrooms on the first floor, all super-king size, are all equally generous and stylish. The master has an en-suite bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower cubicle, and the family bathroom also has bath and separate shower.
The private courtyard allows you to enjoy the formal garden during your stay. You can make use of the shared tennis court and outdoor heating swimming pool during the summer months. And of course, you are only ten minutes drive from the nearest pub and shop and Brancaster beach. With some beautiful country walks right on your doorstep too, you will fall in love with the serenity and special location this property sits in.

To whom it may concern
The location of Gardeners cottage is idyllic, even though the postcode given to find it was incorrect
I was disappointed in my stay for the price we paid for a few reasons as follows
We were informed that we were to have a private garden for our dogs during our stay apart from one day where the gardener was to come on Thursday which was fine. Unfortunately on Saturday and on another two to three occasions people came into the garden without any prior notice or a knock at the door, luckily I had my dogs in the house, this in my opinion was not what we paid for and I am not happy about it.
Also there was a fly infestation in the kitchen, which is not very pleasant when we arrived and the main bins that where left out had a maggot infestation with lots of black bags left at the side.This does not give you a nice feeling that the cottage is clean upon your arrival.
There was also a problem with wasps in and outside, for which I know comes with the territory but this prevented us from opening up the sliding doors or windows in the sitting room area next to the kitchen which impacted upon the heat levels in there which prevented my elderly mother from being able to enjoy this room. As my wife is allergic to wasp stings, had we known we may have booked somewhere else instead with yourselves. I understand due to the adverse temperatures we have had this may be out of the owners control but we were not able to enjoy the patio area at all during our stay as a result. I think they loved chewing the wooden furniture outside for whatever reason and where feasting on the fallen apples out in the front garden.
There was a leak whilst we stayed from one of the showers but Freddie was there almost instantly and resolved the issue for which we appreciate his efforts there.
With all this in mind I think the price I paid was far too much for the conditions we had to endure and I would appreciate a review of my payment please as a result of these issues
Many thanks
David
