Guests say
The Maltings is a well-received cottage, praised for its immaculate condition, generous welcome pack, and peaceful location. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, comfortable furnishings, and proximity to beaches and local attractions. While some guests mention noise in the evenings and shower issues, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as immaculate and beautifully clean, with only one mention of dog hair on furniture suggesting a minor oversight. The high standard of cleanliness contributes significantly to the property's appeal.
The location is frequently highlighted as peaceful and ideal for accessing local beaches and attractions. Its proximity to nature reserves, pubs, and walks adds to the appeal, although one review mentioned the need to drive to supermarkets and restaurants.
The cottage is repeatedly noted for its comfort, with a special mention of the comfortable bed and cosy atmosphere. The enclosed garden and spaciousness add to the comfort level, despite a few comments about the shower experience.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a fully equipped cottage and generous welcome hamper. However, there are several mentions of issues with the shower and a need for clearer instructions for the appliances, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is a standout feature, with many guests expressing gratitude for the welcome hamper. It's important to note that such gifts, while appreciated, are a courtesy and not guaranteed with every stay.

Also on the ground floor you will find a contemporary, well equipped kitchen and a bathroom with twin basin units and a luxurious, deep feature bath with a rainfall shower above.
On the open-plan first floor you’ll discover a high-quality kingsize bed, which feels so spacious because of the exposed beams and vaulted ceiling and is perfect for long lie-ins. There is also a small bistro seating area at the front of the property, great for both a morning coffee and an evening sundowner. The beach is just 5 minutes away- head to Mundesley for its wide sandy beach and then take the pretty coast road, winding your way through Norfolk stone villages until you reach Cromer where you will find a host of great places to shop, eat and drink along with that famous pier. Two award-winning gastro pubs are within a ten-minute drive.
Head West a little further and take a seasonal boat trip to see the seals or do some crab-lining on Blakeney Quay.
Check out the Thursford Collection with its Christmas Spectacular or potter around the Georgian Town of Holt with its unique high street. You can also be in the heart of the Broads in around 25 minutes where you can charter a day launch or join a tour and make like Swallows and Amazons as you drift along these much-celebrated waterways. There are lots of great places to eat locally too, which is just as well as you will be sure to have worked up an appetite with all the sightseeing.

As others have said,the property is immaculate and in a quiet rural location,the welcome pack was generous and welcome.But in the evenings after 5pm there was a lot of noise from the attached house, banging doors and kids arguing which spoiled it for me.So if you don't mind some noise in the evenings this place could be ideal

Lovely cottage with excellent hosts. Everything you could want in a cottage close to pubs and walks. Ideal for a couple and dogs. Would definitely recommend
