Excellent communication. Ample parking. The property was immaculate, with a nice mix of modern and antique furniture. The kitchen had everything you could need, and more. Comfortable beds. Lovely grounds with great views, and we were treated to a couple of amazing sunsets. Would definitely stay here again.

Renovated with care and attention, Eight Balls is a lovely, spacious and well equipped "home" combining elegance and comfort. The owners were friendly, welcoming but not intrusive. A great place to relax but with many options of things to do and places to go within easy access.

Beautiful cottage, elegantly furnished and well equipped with much more than the standard self-catering fare: plenty of loo rolls, kitchen towels, dishwasher tablets, cleaning products, oil, even herbs and spices. Lovely outdoor space too, and a friendly welcome from the owners.

Our second visit and it was terrific. The accommodation suits us perfectly, with plenty of room and absolutely everything we needed. The beautiful weather meant we could eat outside every evening, and the views over the fields and of the sunsets were wonderful. We look forward to returning.

Our stay at Quarter Cottages was everything we needed to be able to enjoy Christmas. The property is spotlessly clean with antique furniture. The beds are huge and comfortable, the wardrobes and mirrors large and stately. Everything we wanted was provided by our charming host Lesley. One wardrobe is filled with indoor games, great for a family gathering. There are book shelves full of information relating to the property's historical beginning during WW2 and the local history generally. Highly recommended!

The property was in a beautiful very quiet countryside setting. The house was immaculate throughout and tastefully decorated to a very high standard ,with comfortable beds and furniture. The hosts were on hand and very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

The property was amazing. Plenty of room for three adults and three children. It was clean, warm and welcoming with every convenience we could hope for. The bottle of prosecco was an added (and very welcome) bonus.

We really enjoyed our weekend at 8ball cottage. The location is very remote but that's what we loved. The pictures don't do this property justice, it's very spacious. 6 adults and a small baby and we had plenty of room. Lovely added touches with tea bags and coffee machine etc made life easy for the weekend. Thank you for your hospitality, we had a great time.

Well appointed Kitchen- Diner, BBQ area, Spacious Lounge, Great Bathrooms and very comfortable Beds. Very Quiet Well off the beaten track, but great for exploring Norfolk Only negative - WIFI was very slow, sometimes difficult to access

Despite the relative remoteness of the property to places of interest in this part of Norfolk, the property itself suited our needs exceedingly well. We have rarely stayed in a self-catering property that has been so well appointed; well-thought out; with excellent, clean, shiny bathrooms; superb beds and bed linen topped off with friendly, helpful and welcoming owners. As a family of 4 adults and one child, with one of the adults having significant mobility issues 8 Ball House catered for our various needs very well indeed.
