Great communication with host and accurate description of property. A big bonus for us was the enclosed garden and field for our 2 active boys. Would definitely stay again.

Myself and my children loved Squirrelโ€™s Drey. The accommodation felt spacious and comfortable. There was a fab games room. And the kids loved the garden with the trampoline, goal posts, massive space to run around, and swings to discover! A perfect stay for us. Thank you.

Away with the granddaughters

The property was ideal for us, our granddaughters (5+7) enjoyed the garden to run around in and particularly enjoyed the trampoline. The location was handy for attractions and the coast. We would have no hesitation in coming again. Thanks for a great place to stay.

Relaxing

As a second visit to this property it wasn't at all disappointing. Clean, quiet and very relaxing surroundings with great hospitality All the smaller details had been thought through and were very welcome. Would certainly visit again if we're in the area as this holiday rental is quite central to many attractions. Highly recommended if you're looking for a relaxing time away.

Amazing stay!

This place was perfect for our little family. There was enough space for all of us and it had everything we needed. There was even a Games room which kept the kids entertained. The location was great, in the middle of so many different areas to visit and was lovely and peaceful. The property had a lot of useful information inside and it just felt like a home from a home. We would definitely be back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this little gem of a place!

4 night break

My family and I enjoyed a comfortable stay at Squirrels Drey. The property was clean and comfortable and the grounds were also very well kept, with a huge amount of space to explore and secure areas for the children to play in. I think that this property is very good value for money and would definitely be happy to stay here in future. Thank you for ensuring we had a relaxing break.

Clean & very well equipped. Much appreciated the welcome bottle in the fridge! However the pebble path is still impossible for suitcases, especially for oldies like us!

Everything that was stated in email was as said , with check in keys etc. Left a nice card and box of chocolates, small Xmas tree , Santa stop here sign for the little one which made it more special for him , as lovely touch. Really enjoyed the stay , peaceful, out the way , games room was amazing my boys would have just stayed there ๐Ÿ˜‚ great thing for Xmas morning after presents. Saw the hosts a few time , but they left us to enjoy are stay , and we knew they was there if we needed anything . Asked for a few little things prior to travelling and they was done for us which was amazing. Lovely property all round , we enjoyed it that much , we may go back next Christmas if they have us as my boys are not quiet ๐Ÿ˜‚. Trampoline little swing area was used to , so all in all brilliant thank you Sue and Micheal Ps : for any family my boys loved it and that takes some doing , so book and you wonโ€™t be disappointed

Fantastic place

This is the best place we have have ever stayed at in Norfolk and we ve been coming here for a long time. The decor fixtures and equipment are all high end and the outdoor space perfect. We had an amazing few days. Just far enough away from the hustle and bustle to get places easily but quiet enough ti relax when there. Will definitely return

Ideal

This property was excellent, everything has been thought of. It was ideally located for visiting North Norfolk coast and bigger towns like Great Yarmouth and if you want to, getting out on the water on the broads. The property itself was 5* with plenty of room for the kids to run around if they want.

Pleasant, modern and clean, would recommend. Shame about the weather...would have been lovely to have had breakfast outside in the garden area (in August), but weather was poor/cold. That is the luck of the draw when holidaying in England.
