What our customers say about their holidays

  On arrival, the front gate was very stiff to open and we found out that the top hinge only had one screw holding it on. Therefore, it was not secure for our dog to be left just in this small area. With us both in our 80s we found this a rather daunting issue when trying to keep this heavy gate in place and opening it. On trying to enter the security numbers to obtain the front door key we found that the key pad was not working and the key was not secure as the key was easily accessed, we therefore took the key out with us as we felt the cottage was not secure. On using the actual key to get in, we also found the door was warped and the actual key lock did not aline with the door frame. Which in turn meant we had to lift and slam heavily to try to actually secure the locking device. Tap in the kitchen sink moved, it possibly could come adrift. Lovely kitchen, but not a single cupboard to be used for food ( that doesn't need to be refridgerated. All the cupboard space was taken up with equipment. In the bathroom the towel ring next to washbasin was not secure and came off into my wife's hand . Therefore, we think that a general maintenance of the said property should be carried out , especially for security reasons.

  Lovely cottage which is ideally placed on the High Street in Blakeney. Very comfortable beds and sofas and well equipped kitchen, although bijou, was very well stocked and we loved the welcome basket of goodies. We had great weather so we were out and about for most of the day but this would also be the ideal cottage if the weather was not so great as the log fire was good and the TV had all the channels as well as Netflix. Good central heating so nice and warm in the evening as well. Very good support from Original Cottages if anything is needed/goes wrong which is important. Blakeney is ideally placed for great beaches and walks and the village has very good bakery/pubs and cafes as well as a decent deli only a few doors up from the cottage.

  Very lovely 'cottagie' cottage, tastefully decorated and furnished and with a very homily feel to it, There is a well working wood burner for extra atmosphere though you need to get your own logs. The kitchen is well equipped and with good appliances. Washing up liquid, kitchen cloth and towels were kindly provided. The cottage is in walking distance to Blakeney and Cley next the Sea and the walks through the marshes. Overall, a good location to explore the northern part of Norfolk. We were missing some local dog walking options, ie local footpaths through the countryside (other than the marshes) which we did not manage to find really. Many walks involve quite a bit of pavement.. so we ended up driving to Holkham beach on 3 of the days.

  We had two weeks holiday in Norfolk in June '21, the first staying at David's Barn and the second at Simon's Barn. Both were excellent in all respects and we couldn't recommend them more highly. If you like nice beds these are definitely the place for you! Their location is excellent for visiting the north coast and the many attractions around. Langham is a lovely little village with a good pub and it was good to be away from the busy places like Blakeney and Wells. Blakeney is especially lovely and easily accessible. We found Holt (especially the Baker and Larner's food hall) and nearby Leatherington Farm shop perfect for all our food shopping. The staff at Norfolk Cottages were extremely helpful. A perfect choice!

• Mr Stephen Osborne - Verified booking

  Loved this cottage. Very comfortable, cosy and quiet ( got used to 24 hour church bells very quickly.) Just a few things we felt were missing...kitchen scissors, chopping boards and tools for dealing with the log burner. The location was perfect for us. Initial information should include parking instructions, as we arrived to find guests in Davids Barn in our space. Thankfully, they were lovely people who did move once inside instructions read but it did make for awkward arrival. Overall though, think we may return to Simons Cottage.
