Had a lovely time here in Norfolk. Property is well-equipped, and well placed for short drives to the seals, the broads, Great Yarmouth, Norwich and more.
Perfect base for the Broads. Close to boat hire and local pubs. Also Great Yarmouth and Norwich can be reached within 30 minutes by car.
Quince Cottage was delightful and had everything we needed for our stay, although the second double bedroom was a little snug. Lovely views from the back garden.
Quince Cottage was a really beautiful holiday home with everything you could need for a relaxing holiday. We absolutely loved the decor and it was the change of scenery we all needed. The coast and Broads are only short drives away, and Amanda was very helpful when we had some problems with our car, recommending a local garage. The nearby swimming pool you can book by the hour was also a highlight for the children! Thank you Amanda!
We really enjoyed our stay. A perfect location to discover the wonderful beaches nearby, sea the seals and rent a boat on the broads. The barn itself was beautiful but slightly let down by the lack of cutlery and cooking utensils. Just 5 knives, forks and spoons means constant washing up. The owner is very helpful though and left us a nice welcome gift which was a nice touch.
Booked this lovely converted barn on this website and found the process very straightforward. If we plan on visiting this way again would definitely consider rebooking.
