We are 3 adults and 1 German Shepherd and we stay in a cottage twice a year.
We are 3 adults and 1 German Shepherd and we stay in a cottage twice a year. This is a great cottage in an excellent location (assuming you have a car). There is a big secure garden if you have a dog and the house is well stocked. There is a large outside table and chairs and loads of parking space The wi-fi is amazing and plenty of chairs in the living room (2 of our main criteria!). The farm didn’t affect us at all. We went to the beach at Wells-next-the-sea where there is huge beach which dogs can go on. Also lots of sightseeing - check out Castle Acre Priory, it’s fantastic. Also Walsingham Abbey. Our only criticism is that the TV only has Freeview. No catchup, iPlayer etc. Netflix or Sky. We rarely stay in the same place twice but we will certainly stay here again.
Can not recommend the Old Saddlery enough. Lovely remote location down a farmers lane. 15/20 minute walk to local pub however was under refurbishment when we went. Enclosed garden perfect for kids and dogs. Cottage so incredibly cosy. The whole house flowed really well and really was a home from home. Beds incredibly comfortable, lovely welcome basket on arrival. Local Tesco 7 minute drive. Wells-Next-The-Sea 14 minute drive. Highly recommend Holkham Nature Reserve / Beach if you have dogs for a walk. Fantastic value for money and already looking for a weekend to rebook next year.

We (and the dogs) enjoyed our week at The Old Saddlery, despite the damp weather. The cottage is well placed to explore all areas of Norfolk and, although in a rural position, it is close to Fakenham with all its amenities, restaurants etc. It’s a shame that the local pub was not open when we walked there (a sign outside was advertising for a new tenant ) and we were directed to another pub in a nearby village.
The cottage is very dog friendly with laminate flooring and spongeable rugs, a separate living room and a dog/child gate at the bottom of the stairs to prevent our excitable border terriers from exploring upstairs. (So many cottages are open plan but specify that dogs should be kept off the furniture and not allowed upstairs, which can be a very difficult task overnight.) The enclosed lawned garden (no plants apart from the hedge) is dog proof for even small dogs.

Lovely holiday cottage.
Lovely holiday cottage. We appreciated being left to our own devices and found the accommodation comfortable and clean. Beds comfortable, kitchen well equipped (especially the toaster!) and, even though it wasn't warm weather, the place was never cold.
Mind you, the wifi was a bit iffy and broadband dropped out entirely when it rained...
Fakenham is a lovely little town - the garden centre is brilliant both for plants and the cafe.
We visited Sandringham, Hunstanton (twice), Cromer (twice), Pensthorpe park (lovely), Blickling and Felbrigg Hall National Trust properties. All within 45 minutes drive.
Highly recommended. We expect to return.

The cottage was very clean and well-equipped.
The cottage was very clean and well-equipped. The welcome basket of fresh bread, butter and jam was thoughtful but the chilled bubbly even better! Parking was ample, the kitchen was perfect for a foodies because there are so many good farm shops, it was great to be able to enjoy some home-cooking of local produce and relax in the garden. The cottage is so central to trips to Norwich, Cromer, Hunstanton etc and there is plenty to do and see. Shops are close, including a very good fish and chips shop. There was an issue with the boiler and that was addressed by Charles very quickly. The only hiccup was the local pub, run by a rather rummy character, who greeted our entry on Sunday early evening (for a quick drink) with 'I hope you aren't expecting any food'. The bar area was a bit smelly and tired-looking. Hence the 8 score.

Lovely cottage, clean and well presented; beds very comfortable. It provided a great base to explore both coastal and inland North Norfolk. We were very fortunate to see the barn owls on many evenings flying around the property in their search for food.
