However, the shower has one small square non slip mat, this only covers half of the shower basin. In my opinion, for safety reasons the shower room needs two more non slip mats (one inside and one just outside of the shower). Central heating throughout the cottage except the living room, which has a wood burner. Excellent location for exploring Norwich.

Comfy lounge and good sized kitchen dining area. Large bedroom with supper large bed. Good sized enclosed garden that your four legged buddy will love to explore. Neighbour was friendly and told if we wanted any information she would be happy to help. A couple of minor issues to be aware off, the bedroom ceiling is very low and we found it cold even with the radiator on full. Also new oven gloves are needed and a draining rack might be a good idea for washing up that doesnât warrant using the dishwasher. And lastly some info required about recycling and general rubbish and where to put it. (Apologies if itâs there we just didnât see it). I would most definitely recommend a stay here.
