Holly Cottage is praised for its cosy atmosphere, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. The large, invigorating shower and lovely garden are frequently mentioned, as is the property's central location for exploring Norfolk. The secure garden is a hit with dog owners, and the cottage's character adds to its charm. Some minor issues with cleanliness in the sitting room were noted, but overall, guests seem to have enjoyed their stay.

Cleanliness

Most reviews indicate that Holly Cottage is clean, particularly the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathroom. However, one review mentions a lack of thoroughness in the sitting room and an issue with the mop and pail, leading to a slightly reduced score.

Location

The location is highly regarded for its peacefulness, proximity to various attractions, and suitability for dog walking. Its central position in Norfolk and easy access to Norwich and the seaside are appreciated by guests.

Comfort

Guests find the beds very comfortable and the cottage cosy, contributing to a restful sleep. The sloping floor in the main bedroom is noted but is seen as part of the cottage's character rather than a discomfort.

Facilities

The cottage is well-equipped with a large shower, a well-appointed kitchen, and a secure garden. Some minor maintenance issues like a gap in the fence and ants are mentioned, but overall, the facilities meet guests' needs.

About this property

The thatched cottage enjoys a peaceful location on the edge of a wood, in the charming village of Hemblington. Sleeping four guests, the cosy cottage makes a great base for couples and small families seeking a quiet, countryside bolthole. The area is a haven for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts, with picturesque walks in the Norfolk Broads, just 2.5 miles away, and the nearby nature reserve at rspb Strumpshaw Fen (3 miles).

The chocolate-box retreat has a beautiful blend of traditional features and contemporary home comforts, creating a cosy and characterful base for your holiday. Enter the property into the inviting lounge, with its beamed ceiling, plush seating, and original fireplace housing a warming wood burner. From here, head through to the kitchen/diner, where you’ll find everything needed to rustle up tasty meals for the group, to enjoy together at the wooden dining table. A stylish shower room completes the ground floor. Upstairs, two cosy bedrooms are set in the eaves, under a fabulous beamed ceiling (please note, these rooms have restricted head height in some areas). Outside, soak up the sunshine on the south-facing patio, which boasts comfortable outdoor seating. There’s also a fully enclosed lawn that’s ideal for children and four-pawed guests.

The twin villages of Wroxham and Hoveton are 6 miles away and, collectively, are known as the capital of the Broads. Hire a boat here or hop on a cruise to explore the ancient network of waterways. The villages have an excellent array of independent eateries, many with waterside views. The cottage is also within easy reach of the coast. For a relaxing day at the seaside, head to the unspoilt fishing village of Winterton-on-Sea (15.5 miles), where you’ll find a sandy beach, dramatic coast path, pretty thatched cottages, and cosy village pub.
