Great location
Lovely property with views of golf course 18th fairway and ideally suited for exploring Norfolk attractions. Very accommodating hosts and plenty of shops, restaurants and various eating places just a 10 minute stroll into Watton.
Well appointed accommodation, stayed for one week. Ideally situated to walk into Watton and to travel around East Anglia.
SKY tv, if you don't want to go out or just watch the golfers on the 18th fairway.
A lovely apartment overlooking a golf course, everything you need for a great stay. If I’m being picky the lounge seating is getting a bit past it, but that wouldn’t put us off returning. Beds very comfortable . Bonus of Sky tv with sport & movie channels.
Everything was wonderful. Host was always ready to help and had good info for the surrounding areas and things to do. Host made us feel welcome and really cared for all our needs. Next time I’m in the area I definitely know where I’ll be staying.
Good location for visiting the attractions of Norfolk. Visit Norwich, Cathedral and castle, Oxburgh estate, Sandringham, the coast. Accommodation well maintained and everything to make your stay enjoyable. Lovely peaceful view over the golf course, great to sit outside and relax. Owner a very pleasant gentleman.
Loved our stay,was a great base for us to see the things we wanted to see. Lovely peaceful apartment and having sky TV was a bonus. Would definitely return. Geoff if you see this review we didn’t receive any of your emails so not sure if you were sending to my email address?
We had a short break in this beautiful apartment. Homely & comfortable in a peaceful location. Geoff is so helpful & friendly. Would have been lovely to stay longer.
Great for visiting the Norfolk & Suffolk coast & countryside & coast
This well equipped & comfortable property is set in a peaceful location with a lovely view of the golf course & plenty of wildlife to see on your doorstep. It's within easy reach of the Norfolk & Suffolk coast & countryside. A perfect place to recharge your batteries.
Very happy with the accommodation, the communication and the experience of booking. Would highly recommend. Thank you for making the experience so easy and for being so helpful
Had a wonderful break away in Geoff's gorgeous apartment. Location was perfect. Apartment was very well maintained and Geoff was very helpful and always on hand to deal with any queries. Would highly recommend this oasis of calm and tranquillity. Already making plans for a longer stay next year.
Barbara (Ireland)&
This is an excellent base for visiting middle Norfolk.The apartment is very comfortable,the owner was very helpful, extremely pleasant and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed, nothing was too much trouble.The location on the edge of a golf course had beautiful views, with fascinating wildlife including squirrels, deer, rabbits, and a variety of birds including pheasants, owls and even a Jay.
The only reason we gave 4 star for the online listing was that some seating and kitchen equipment is getting a bit tired and we felt that the word "Luxury" was a little misleading, however this is an observation, not a complaint, we would happily go back.

Excellent Property
This property was excellent all modern interior/facilities and very clean.
The owner was very helpful with advice on what to visit where to go, eating out etc.
This property is very well placed too for visiting the coast, The Broad and Sandringham, there are a number of walks around the area also which are very nice and the view form the patio was very peaceful but also great if you are a golfer as you are sat watching people approach the 18th Hole.
I will recommend this property to friends and family and would book again

Our stay could not have been better. The combination of location, garden view and friendly neighbours together with forest animals in the garden, yes really a Roe deer and her babies was something totally unexpected. Having an electric car meant that onsite charging took away any concerns and allowed a full charge every morning. Watton as a village is pleasant and only a short walk away. Nice to be in such a rural location but within easy reach of the whole of Norfolk and its numerous attractions. Definitely worth a visit and the hosts are both lovely and accommodating.
We had a lovely stay in Watton for our Norfolk adventure. We went all over Norfolk and the Fairway apartment was a lovely base to come back to each day. It has everything you could need and more. Only a short walk in Watton which has lots of amenities. The apartment was quiet and peaceful, have a bbq in the evening or breakfast in the garden and you will see squirrels, birds and deer everyday. Thank you for our stay, 2 weeks just went too fast.
Rented for a week with my mom (73) and daughter (3) while in south Norfolk visiting family in Hingham, Ashill and East Harling. It was PERFECT for our needs. We used it as our home base between day excursions and it was spacious, comfortable, clean and well enough appointed Beautifully manicured back garden /patio literally on the fairway (with pheasants, pigeons and deer galore in the mornings). Walkable to Watton High Street ...and a farm with a horse down the road perfect for animal encounter for the kiddos :) will be back!

Very spacious & well-equipped apartment alongside the 18th fairway allows a great view & time to relax. Excellent communication from host Geoff made it easy to get access information & any follow up - we extended our stay from 3 to 5 days. We ended up with a plug-in hybrid car rental so were able to use the charge point which was a geat benefit & easy to use. Sky TV was a bonus great wifi. Full kitchen & washing machine, comfy bed, outdoor space. Quiet location. Enjoyed a lovely Sunday roast at the Willow House in town.
Watton is located in central Norfolk which means that most destinations in Norfolk and Suffolk can be reached in 60-90 mins.
The property is located in a super quiet location and it is both extremely clean and well-equipped.
The lovely owner lives above the property and he was very helpful during our stay.
The local area is super for golf and cycling - incl an extensive network of gravel paths.
There are several lovely farm shops and a Tesco nearby.
We recommend this property as a quiet and central location for exploring Norfolk and northern Suffolk.
We had a lovely stay in Geoff’s apartment, really quiet and relaxing just next to the golf course. Beautiful garden which was great for watching wildlife, squirrels birds and deer! The apartment was well equipped, comfy and perfect for the two of us (but would accommodate a family easily too). Loved the lazy-boy sofa and made use of Sky TV! Not a great deal in Watton itself though there are a few takeaways and Tesco which was handy. There are a couple of pubs nearby but we ate out whilst out in the day. Overall a good base for a stay in Norfolk.
