We had a great week in your beautiful cottage. The weather was glorious which is always a bonus! We visited various places on our stay. Sculthorpe Mill - such a beautiful place, our dog loved it swimming in the river there. Wells-next-the-Sea, a lovely harbour, walks near to the cottage with a plethora of wildlife & nature to see. Paid a visit to the coast at Heacham, the 100 year old windmill at Bircham is worth a visit too. Food: we really enjoyed The Crown in Rudham, we ate quite a few times there, really nice food and friendly staff. The Dabbling Duck in Great Massingham, lovely location. So many lovely places to visit and all within a few miles ... Thanks again.

Thank you for a wonderfully beautiful house you have created for comfort & needs for enjoying this beautiful countryside & coast of Norfolk. Many places 8-10 mins away & coast only 25 mins. We’ve visited for meals: Sculthorpe Mill - ‘beautiful gardens’;
The Dabbling Duck, Gt Massingham - ‘beautiful village & ponds too to walk round’. A trip to Castle Acre & walk along the river & dip for our Labrador, Meeka.
We also visited Felbrigg Hall & Gardens as the weather has been great all weak & full of sunshine every day. We’ve been on the beach at Wells-next-the-Sea & fish & chips enjoyed too! Yet we have relaxed too in this quiet village.
Thanks again, we’d recommend for sure.

We have had a lovely stay here in Peony Cottage, exploring this part of Norfolk.
The weather has been surprisingly nice, so we enjoyed time relaxing in the garden in the sun.
The cottage had everything we needed for an easy week away.
We especially enjoyed taking our dog on the Wells & Walsingham Light Railway!
Along with walks at Sandringham, Holt County Park and Brancaster beach.

Thank you for a lovely, comfortable stay in your charming cottage. We have enjoyed exploring the area.
Wells-next-the-Sea, including the fabulous beach, Holt & Burnham Market - lovely village with great shops and restaurants. We also had great meals out at The Crown in East Rudham (highly reccomend) and a fun night at the quiz night at The Chequers in Thornham.

Thank you so much for our lovely week
in your beautiful cottage.
Perfect location for all our days out as a family.
Our son who is five particulary enjoyed visiting Roar, Dinosaur Park and all the different Halloween activities at Pensthorpe and Holkham Hall. The weather was perfect considering it was October half term and the only wet day we did have we visited the swimming pool in Hunstanton.
We will definitely be back!
Many thanks

Peony Cottage was situated in a quiet village 4 miles outside Fakenham. The location made it ideal as a central hub to reach inland and coastal resorts in West Norfolk. The cottage was beautifully presented and spotless. The rooms were furnished well - with two lovely comfy huge beds. The owners had left a much-appreciated welcome pack.
The instruction booklets for the appliances were easy to find - which hadn’t been the case in other places we stayed in.
A lovely comfortable stay - thank you.

Firstly what a beautiful cottage you have. We booked this last minute as our motorhome holiday did not work out, so you’re both lifesavers.When we walked in we felt a warm welcome. It is a stunning cottage. Immaculately furnished and beautiful touches. The village is great also. Our dog, Tripp, loved it. So quiet and with a great dog walk around the farmers field at end of the village. Everything we needed way only a 8-10 minute drive away. Once again a massive thank you, and we will certainly recommend your cottage.

Thanks for a super time in your lovely house. We were very impressed with the lovely welcome of wine, milk, tea, coffee, chocolates, loo roll and every needed item and utensil in the house. The property has a charming, modern yet old feel to it. The area is quiet and beautiful. We enjoyed days out in Cromer, Sheringham, Hunstanton on the beach and Fakenham, browsing and seeing the countryside. In the evening we relaxed with a log fire and at night we loved the king sized bed. We would recommend this property. Complements to your cleaner as it was spotless. We hope many other people will enjoy it in the future.

Thanks for a lovely, restful two weeks in this beautiful cottage. The weather has been very hit and miss but we’ve found some great walks through pretty countryside quite near. The coast is not far too. The cottage is perfect. Clean and extremely comfortable. We have enjoyed this necessary holiday. Thanks for the wine, milk and biscuits too. It is so quiet here with lovely birdsong. Enjoyed sitting in the fantastic little enclosed garden too.
