Norfolk Hideaways’ website was a delight to use, booking was very easy and follow-up instructions via email were clear, concise and professional. The staff we came into contact with were very helpful and friendly.
The Little House in Brancaster looked perfect for our holiday with friends and our two dogs. On arrival at the house, the reality was even better. As a previous guest commented in the visitors’ book, with a name like that, you know the house isn’t going to be small. The large open plan living area is magnificent and the whole house is finished to such a high standard and is beautifully decorated. The furniture, soft furnishings, the lovely Stoves cooker and all the white goods are of such good quality it felt like living in a wonderful home rather than a holiday rental. The beds are blissfully comfortable and very spacious.
The rear garden is lovely and very well dog-proofed. If there is one addition which would make life a little easier, it would be a gate between the rear garden and the parking area at the front. This would contain both dogs and lively young children should the front gates be opened by mistake or when a car is entering the drive. A great feature is a hot and cold water hose pipe just inside the front gates which is good for washing dogs and muddy wellies.
The house is perfectly situated for long walks, being about 15 minutes at a healthy pace from Brancaster’s beautiful beach, or for short walks around the pretty village if it pours with rain. Having the Ship Inn at the top of the street is also a real bonus.
We were there to celebrate a 70th birthday and thank you so very much to the owner who hand-delivered some birthday cards to us which had been redirected to his home!
