Perfect cottage

Not just comfortable but very stylish with great outlooks. Only 20 minutes drive to great beaches and a great pub( the three horse shoes ) just around the cornet with excellent food.

Two weeks at Border Cottage

Really enjoyed staying in Border Cottage. It soon became home despite the low ceilings and vertical stairs. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

A little haven

What a stunning little property everything from the beautifully appointed rooms, to the quirky homely touches and the inviting cottage garden, was perfect. We were greeted with a chilled bottle of wine / chocolates and the beautiful smell from carefully chosen room fragrances added even more luxury. The stairs were interesting but added to the quirkiness of the whole stay. Thankyou to the owners for a memorable cottage stay.

The best little cottage we've ever stayed in

If I owned a holiday property then I would shamelessly model it on Border Cottage. It is beautifully curated, comfortable, atmospheric, in a great location, really well equipped, and the property manager (Kevin) was extremely helpful (thanks for the voucher for the 3 Horseshoes!). The weather was pretty dire during our weekend but somehow it really didn't matter. The little cottage put an arm around us and all was good. Only a short hop from the coast, the great little town of Holt (so buzzy!), Blickling, Norwich ..... just perfect. If we were to head back to North Norfolk I wouldn't think twice about using Border Cottage as a base. It has everything.

Lovely Cottage with Period Charm

We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage was very comfortable, full of period charm and it was like a home from home, local walks to enjoy with an excellent pub just down the road so obviously this was visited on the way back, the hosts where so friendly with a warm welcome. Hope to stay again.

Beautiful cottage

This is a beautiful cottage refurbished to a very high standard and very well equipped with a lovely log burner for the cold evenings. The hosts were great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The stairs were a little tricky due to the age of the house but I would recommend this to anyone wanting to stay in the area. Thank you so much Kevin, we will be back.

Border Cottage, Briston, Norflk

Delightful refurbishment. Too precious if anything - concerned about making marks on wooden work services, so we didn’t cook the celebration dinner we had planned. Had real problems with the wood burner - could have done with instructions. Well equipped. Felt like we were staying in someone’s home…

Luxury Cottage

We had a lovely stay the bed was so comfortable & the shower was great too. Located in a very good place for walks & for exploring different area’s of Norfolk. Would definitely recommend but be aware of the very steep stairs even though they expected in this type of cottage.

The cottage is amazing it is like home from home. As soon as you open the door it smells clean & fresh.The stairs are very steep which could cause a problem for some people. The cottage is handing for the country parks, Cromer & Sheringham. To sum it up the holiday was amazing.

5 ***** Accommodation

This gorgeous, quiet cottage in Norfolk is so much better than the photographs depict. It is decorated to a very high standard with fixtures, fittings and kitchen equipment all from quality brands. We were left the thickest, softest towels ever! Marion, the owner lives nearby and we had the chance to meet her in person and tell her what a lovely property she has and her eye for detail is amazing. The added conservatory and front/back gardens are a nice, quiet and relaxing hideaway. There are good shops within walking distance from the cottage, a co-op and family run butcher/bakers/convenience store both well stocked. A pub is about 200 yards away (no noise) and I have heard good things about it but unfortunately we didn't try it out. If you are looking for a top quality cottage at a very reasonable price, then I can't recommend Border Cottage enough.

Perfection!

We had such a fabulous week at Border Cottage. Thank you for the welcome bottle of wine plus all the helpful info and items to make our stay so great. Well placed for beaches, places of interest. However, stairs ate challenging - fine for us ( we loved them) but know some people would struggle. One of the best places we've stayed. Thank you!

Honeysuckle and cornfields

A beautifully decorated and well equipped cottage, everything carefully thought out. Plenty to see and do from traditional seaside resorts to NationalTrust properties. The local pub is a couple of minutes walk away is very welcoming and serves good food. We had a great week.

More than we could imagine & Lindt Bunnies.

Well we were very excited about our stay here and we were not disappointed ! Everything felt new and clean - having Long Covid this is very important! A fantastic sunroom, a well stocked kitchen, refreshing shower and a comfortable bed! the cottage is really quaint with exposed walls and original beams. The wifi was reliable and fast. Our dogs loved it to - especially the huge back area ! It may be 200 years but had a modern renovation feel to it ! Have to say we rate it 4.9. Out of 5 ! The 2 issues we found, 1) that the door to the kitchen is low ! We both bumped heads on it - me once and OH twice ! We learnt our lessons there, but would be back like a shot ! The people were smaller 200 years ago! Actually let's say 5 out of 5 ! As size of people back then should not mark them down ! Finally the stairs would be difficult if you are a wee bit unstable on feet as it's a Norfolk staircase narrow steps and a rope to hold onto! It's a just be aware ! The location is great and parking was easy (right out side the cottage although we did not go far - furtherest we went was Great Yarmouth (great fish and chips @ La Ocean on seafront. Nearer the house - had best cream teas (and we do cream teas) at The Owl Teasrooms in Holt, not the cheapest but awesome ! Also the local pub , the 3 Horseshoes (The Bream was good and salt beef main awesome).
