Great, relaxing stay

Lovely location, in the middle of a small village, very quiet. Refurbished to a high standard. Comfortable inside and a beautiful garden, though note it's not completely enclosed so escape artists dogs need to be leads. Very responsive, friendly hosts

Lovely property for humans and dogs ♥️

We had a lovely stay here, super clean and cosy. A real treasure with lots of home from home comforts. The host was A* re: communication and assuring our accommodation met our needs. We really enjoyed a couple of days exploring The Broads and seal watching. Halvergate is a superb location.

An early spring break

A lovely little cottage in an old school house. Location is great for exploring the Norfolk coast with Norwich and Great Yarmouth only a short drive away. The cottage has everything you need for few days away and was very cosy. Communication with the hosts was very good.

Lovely property and garden, great location !

The cottage is lovely and clean and v well appointed. Location is ideal for exploring Norwich and the eastern part of the Norfolk coast. Hosts very helpful despite being out of the country at the time of visit. Certainly recommend for a relaxing stay, esp if you like a nice garden. Shops a short drive but it’s all the big supermarkets so you can get everything you need quickly and easily and at any time of day. Will hopefully be back for another visit !

Great host

I was really impressed with the quickness of the host to reply to any of my queries, particularly one around using the oven. I really appreciated the cleanliness of the property and the style of the bathrooms. Only downsides are that the property isn’t near any local shops. The nearest shop is a petrol station.

A lovely property

This is a lovely property on the edge of the Broads. It was very clean and comfortable, and well equipped, and the host was very helpful. There is easy access to Norwich and the coast, and some lovely walks into the Broads from the doorstep. There isn't a shop in the village, but Acle is less than 10 minutes drive and has a small supermarket, pubs and takeaways. The big supermarkets in Great Yarmouth are only 15 minutes away.

4 day easter holidays visit.

The property is situated in a very quiet rural location and is ideally placed to explore the broads, coastal area and the city of Norwich. It is beautifully decorated and comfortable. Excellent wifi and all the required amenities. Very dog friendly. Glen was a charming host who talked at length about the history of the building. (An old primary school). There are charming designated areas of garden to enjoy. I would highly recommend and hope to return with my wife and dog in the near future.

Glenn was extremely helpful when I had booking problems and a cheerful welcoming host. The clean and cosy flat was very comfortable and perfect for us 2 and Barney the dog. About 20 mins drive from both The Broads and coast so well situated. Plenty Pubs locally doing good food… The Marsh walks from Wickhampstead were stunning. Shower area needs an upgrade but that’s only slight improvement needed… I’d definitely recommend this property. Thankyou… we had a lovely break. Will Sonia and Barney xxx

New Little Gem

We booked a last minute stay here as we wanted a base to explore Norfolk, this charming little apartment on the side of the owners house was just what we were looking for. Very welcoming hosts Glenn, Georgia & Willow the doggy. The Apartment is a new rental & is beautiful, perfect for a couple or small family (we're 2 adults, 10 year old son & doggy) The outside space is a work in progress as it is large & the owners have been there for a short time, however still accessible. Halvergate it self is fantastic, quiet with great walks & easy access to the A47. We had a terrific stay & would definitely recommend.
