Swaffham is a charming market town and only a relatively short walk away.. The cottage was in a very convenient location for exploring the area with 3 National Trust properties in fairly easy reach.
Has a very cosy feel and so warm we did not light the woodburner!
Lovely garden with decking which could be used in warmer weather.
The onsite owner was very friendly and helpful.

We had a great week's holiday in a lovely part of the world.. There was a friendly welcome from the owner, and she even laid on fantastic weather for the week :). The bathroom for the cottage is a bit too twee (small), but as the owner said, once you're in the shower it's all fine....there just remains the challenge of getting in and out for those of us with a bit of girth! But that's just a minor inconvenience, offset by the rest of the cottage, which was perfect.

We enjoyed our stay at Holly Cottage.. The listed remarks about the small bathroom and steep flight of stairs were accurate but not until you live in the cottage to you realise the problems. Our main concern was the distance from the nearest pub and shop - this was listed as being 8 minutes. This is way off the mark, the walk took nearer 20 minutes in fact.

We had a wonderful week at Holly Cottage and Brod and Jane made us very welcome.. In fact we think it was the nicest welcome we have ever had anywhere! It was lovely to have a Welcome Pack of wine, bread, butter, jam and milk on arrival which meant we did not have to immediately hit the supermarket after our long drive - very thoughtful. The cottage was beautifully decorated (not just functional) and was a joy to be in. We firmly believe in "why would we want to go away anywhere to a place less comfortable and attractive to live in than our own home" Brod and Jane's cottage definitely fitted the bill. We knew the bathroom was described as "compact". We found it manageable but a bit on the "snug" side and that was the only reason we didn't give Holly Cottage top marks across the board. We found the experience of booking straightforward and communications with directions etc very helpful. Also if you have a dog it's useful to know that there is quite a busy road before safe walking is possible.
