Cosy cottage

Beautiful location, quiet little village. Excellent restaurant just round the corner. It could maybe do with a bit of tlc, with a lick of paint here and there. The bedding although was clean didn’t smell fresh, nor did the towels, and you could replace the toaster as it’s seen better days. Everything else was great, loved the shower, so easy to use. The lounge is so cosy and comfortable.

A lovely comfortable cottage

Everything you could possibly need was provided. The cottage provided us with a base to explore the North Norfolk coast. We had a great visit to Felbrigg Hall and Gardens, a trip oh the Holt to Sheringham steam railway and a trip to RSPB Titchwell Marsh. Blakeney was our favourite coastal town. We also visited Sheringham and Wells next the Sea. Holt just a few miles North of the cottage is also well worth a visit

Excellent holiday home for a family

We had a great time at Oak Cottage. Everything was as described with the exception of the low ceilings, it didn’t bother me but my husband is 6’2” and he kept hitting his head on the ceiling. We thought the garden would be a bit bigger but plenty of outside space to sit out. The cottage had everything that we needed and during these times of Covid-19 we felt that the cleanliness and procedures our hosts used were more than satisfactory. This is a lovely cottage for a family holiday.

A comfortable home. Good bed! We had a wonderful week here. In the cottage there was a lot of information available what to do in the area. And not insignificant from very recent date! We have appreciated that very much as well as the welcome package. Thanks

Enjoyable holiday

Lovely clean well appointed cottage, very well equipped everything had been thought of to make your stay a pleasant one. I would have given five stars but felt the garden was lacking a bit of TLC which would have made the outside seating a lot more pleasant.

Holiday in North Norfolk

The property was clean, tidy, secure with off road parking provided. The directions provided by the owner were clear and accurate, as were the instructions regarding the keys to the property. The beds were comfortable, with a large lounge to relax in. The folder provided gave comprehensive information about the property and how to operate the TV etc. The property was ideally located for our visits to National trust and English Heritage properties and Norwich via the airport P & R. A enjoyable holiday, would cetainly recommend the cottage. Thanks for the bottle of wine.

Sehr gutes, voll ausgestattetes Haus, gemütlich, ruhig.

Das Haus hatte alles was man im Urlaub benötigt (Waschmaschine mit Trockner, Geschirrspülmaschine, Tiefkühler etc.), war sehr ruhig gelegen. Im Ort kleiner COOP-Laden, der Pub war leider geschlossen (Renovierung). Nächster grösserer Ort mit großem Supermarkt 7 Meilen (Fakenham). Zum Meer 10 Meilen (Cromer). Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten und schöne Badeorte in der Nähe. Voll empfehlenswert!

Cosy Cottage

We were delighted when we finally arrived here after getting a little lost. Everything we could have needed we had, a clean well equipped cottage with good facilities. A welcome bottle of wine was much appreciated.... A short walk to a couple of village shops which were great and supplied a fantastic choice of goodies.... Many wonderful beaches a short car drive away and the small pretty town of Holt provides tea shops and antiques galore. There was a good information guide in the cottage for all the nearby attractions. Books and games provided too, so no need to pack any... Lovely little patio for your morning coffee with garden furniture in the summerhouse. All in all a wonderful little Norfolk nook.....will hopefully return one day...

Lovely cottage on the edge of the village. Very homely and comfy. Kitchen/dining room a bit small for four adults but we managed for a week. Cottage not far from the coast and many other actvities locally. Sadly pub just around the corner has shut.

Lovely situation for a holiday

Oak Tree Cottage is in a small village location within walking distance of a pub, Co-Op, butchers and bakers. The village of Briston is only about a 25 minute drive from the coast and other attractions, so is very well situated. The house itself is cosy and mainly well decorated. The kitchen is well equipped although the beams do not allow anyone 6ft or over to not hit their heads! Door frames are also quite short. The bedrooms are nicely decorated and the beds comfortable. The bathroom is very dated and could do with re-decorating. On the whole, it is a lovely cottage and made for a very comfortable stay. We found the WIFI was very patchy with virtually no upload speed at all (we managed to do a broadband speed checker). It would be very helpful if Homeaway could publish broadband speeds when they say a property has Wifi, especially for people who have to work/study whilst on holiday. On the whole a lovely stay.

A fabulous, well equipped cottage in a great location.

We spent a wonderful few days visiting this beautiful region. The cottage is in a fantastic location, allowing easy reach of several seaside towns such as Wells and Cromer. The cottage itself is well equipped and very cosy. Our children had a great time playing hide and seek! The welcome gift is a lovely touch. We'd love to return!
