    The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable. It made a great place for all the family to interact. Making pizza was a good night and the bbq is a good size. Rooms are very plush and couldn't be a better location for a holiday. Thanks. Will Highley recommend it.

    We were an extended family of 9 and 2 dogs, the house was perfect for our needs, a lovely big garden and plenty of parking for 3 cars. It was spotlessly clean throughout and the kitchen was very well equipped, even the Aga worked very efficiently (which has not been the case in previous property rentals. The children loved the 2 massive TVs with Netflix and sky. Many of the lovely beaches were only a short drive away so it was in a great location. We would certainly stay here again. Many thanks.

    We had a great week at Swan cottage. The house is very well equipped and comfy. There is plenty of room for all and the dog was well catered for outside. Our only regret was that we couldn’t use the pool, obviously a great asset in summer months. We could not use the outside barbecue as the lighting had failed. 85/100

    What a place to be locked down in. The house and garden are truly beautiful and it was a pleasure to stay here. the area looks lovely, long empty beaches to enjoy and some of the nearby restaurants and cafes looked great but were unfortunately closed due to the lockdown which occurred on the day of our arrival. We will return in happier times.

    My husband and I and our dog stayed at Swan cottage for a week over Christmas with my mum joining for a couple of nights. The cottage is lovely and done to a very high standard. The downstairs bedroom with the log burner was wonderful and the bed and linen very comfortable. The pool wasn’t open when we stayed but I imagine in the summer it would be wonderful to spend time in the garden, which is very private, enjoying the pool and the outdoor kitchen. Both gardens were secure for our dog which is very important to us. We hope to return in the summer!

    The only problem we had were the amount of flies in the kitchen we do realise that this hot summer has caused a problem but this was excessive my husband went around the county and found one fly paper which had at least 50 flies within half an hour. The other problem was warsps we could not sit outside in the BBQ area for lunch or the evening we spent evenings collecting the fallen apples of the tree but made no difference this is not a complaint about the property it was just one of those things We had an amazing time and two of the young ones started to swim without floats which has given confidence for their swimming lessons

    We have had an excellent and most enjoyable week at Swan Cottage. The location is very good for visiting anywhere along the North Norfolk coast, and there are plenty of visitor attractions to suit all ages. The cottage itself was a wonderful family home, that took three generations of visitors with ease and great comfort. There were plenty of little details that made for a very comfortable and enjoyable week and plenty of space to be together or in one's own space. With good weather the garden facilities are memorable. I can thoroughly recommend the cottage.

    The accommodation was faultless, albeit that there were faults on the tumble drier and dishwasher that were repaired on our last day. We struggled with the lounge tv/dvd/sound bar and gave up to use the kitchen/diner instead - perhaps some clearer instructions would be helpful. We will definitely recommend the cottage and have already suggested your company to friends.
