A small but characterful cottage in a very agreeable location

The cottage is adjacent to stiffkey stores which was very convenient & close to the small stiffkey river which was ideal for a picnic. It is is set in a gravel cul-de-sac with other period properties. Located close to beautiful beaches including Holkam, Wells & Blakney. The wildlife is fabulous & each morning & evening we were entertained by a number of Swifts & Swallows. At nightime an Owl would hoot tunefully behind our cottage. The coast is rich in birds & wildlife. It is a very picturesque area & very unspoilt & natural. We would certainly return.

Excellent location for exploring the North Norfolk coast

Lovely cottage, it was very relaxing and the selection of local books was a bonus, more of a personal touch. Home from home. Thank you for the Apple Juice and goodies.

Warm, cosy, well equipped cottage

Quiet, cosy cottage with everything that we needed and parking right outside the house. Walking distance to the village shop and pub. The generous welcome pack was much appreciated too! Would definitely recommend.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
No fans in the bedrooms upstairs in the loft. Yes, it was hot weather when we stayed but from a health and safety aspect there should be fans provided for sleeping at night. The loft rooms are unbearable to be in especially when the hot tank is housed in between these rooms which only adds to the heat. 40 degrees is not acceptable frankly.

Dissappointed

Upon entering dissapointment hit immediately.Ornaments With do not touch,hardly welcoming.Beds unuseable due to cheap mattresses,we slept sitting up on the setteees.Tv was a joke,had to re tune every day.In the double bedroom the floor leading to the window was sinking.The twin bedroom had a crack running from floor to ceiling in the corner.On the stairs a baby gate had been fixed to the stairs,which if you didn't know was there you caught your head on.In the kitchen was a large dehumidifier whic was neither on the pictures or the desciption which leaked onto the worktop.The most serious though was a bedside lamp which was plugged in which was broken,with exposed wires. Of which i have pictures.I reported this ,it was collected but no apology.All in all i don't think this cottage is fit for a holiday let.A rather dissappointing and expensive week.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 September 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that you did not find the cottage to your satisfaction. The cottage is well over 100 years old, so there is some movement in the walls and floors, but they are perfectly safe. The owner has tried to add some interesting items and artefacts in the property to make it a little more unique, but we appreciate that these are not to everybody's liking. We have not received any other complaints about the mattresses, but do understand that all guests have personal preferences with those, and will investigate to see if they may need updating. The electrical items are PAT tested every year, but thank you for bringing the faulty lamp to our attention, which - as you say - was removed immediately to alleviate any further concerns.
