We had the most wonderful time in our stay at Violet cottage. The cottage gives a feeling of home from home and the gardens are lovely. Jenny was so helpful and the village Community were welcoming. With the village pub just 50 yards away serving good food, what more can you ask. Loved it.

A great place for a quiet time away with my husband and the dog.

A great place for a quiet time away with my husband and the dog. We loved sitting all cosy with a proper log fire and the dog loved the garden which was big enough for her to run around in. Plenty of throws provided to prevent the dog getting mud on the furniture. The bed was comfortable. This is a good base for the area with everything you need within a short drive. If we could, we wood have happily stayed for good.

Lovely cottage, no criticisms whatsoever.

Lovely cottage, no criticisms whatsoever. Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable, Tescos 5 minutes away and wonderful beaches within 10 minutes drive. Pub and shop were 1 minute walk from the house and a large quiet lawned garden to enjoy if you just want peace and quiet. The dog loved it as well !!

Cottage well located with pub and shop on the doorstep.

Cottage well located with pub and shop on the doorstep.Easy to get to coastal towns and beaches, or to explore the broadband villages. Nice quiet village location so had a relaxing weekGarden was large and enclosed, so suitable for our golden retriever. There was a rather aged garden bench, but no real facilities to sit out and enjoy the garden, or have BBQ etc.As mentioned in a previous review, the cottage could do with a 'freshen up' some paint peeling on walls, bit of dust in bathroom etc. On balance it is good value for money, the rooms, especially the kitchen and bedroom are compact, but certainly usable.We had no contact with the owner, who left us a nice welcome gift of wine and biscuits, which is a shame, and there was no welcome pack, with info on local pubs restaurants, beaches, recycling and bin info, which was a shame.Pub next door does sort of pub grub you'd expect, we had a Sunday roast and there is a tescos 5 mins up the road and lots of takeaways in Stalham. Overall well worth a visit

Lovely comfortable cottage with everything you need , except good reception/WiFi so would not be suitable for anyone looking to work from there but ideal if you want a screen break! Felt at home immediately and great for log fires in the evening, watching tv, reading books, scrabble etc. Lovely touch of bottle of wine, flowers and chocolates on arrival - we brought a range of basic stuff with us as not all rental properties provide everything but it was all there.

Beautiful cottage with a lovely garden and parking. Pretty much everything you need for the week, although a fan would be a great addition for the hot weather! Lovely, clean and cosy.

Very clean and tidy, cute cottage with all the essentials. Friendly owner who left wine and chocolates as welcome gift. Lovely garden and open fire made it cosy. Info about local area would have been useful, mattresses on the firm side (we found them uncomfortably so!) but excellent value for money. We would definitely return.

This is a lovely little cottage.

This is a lovely little cottage. A great location for cycling, boating and the beach. Lots of interesting things to do and places to visit. The cottage is clean and comfortable with a lovely, private garden at the back. It has everything you need for a busy, fun, self catering holiday. The village shop is close by, open long hours and is good for basics.

A very nice place to stay.

A very nice place to stay. We really loved the fantastic garden because it was so quite and there was plenty of space for my son and I to play football. Catfield is also a fantastic broadland village to stay in as it is near all the boat yards, and with a nice supermarket just up the road at Stalham. And is also near a park. Norwich is within easy reach by using the Postwick park and ride just off the A47.
