Excellent location for us whilst visiting friends. A well appointed annex as the owners have thought of everything, a real home from home. Tony and Aileen are great hosts and a lovely welcome basket was such a treat. Hope to stay again in the future.

A real gem

Great host. Easy to feel nd and handy location for Norfolk and Suffolk. Apartment spotlessly clean, cosy and had everything 2 people need for a comfortable stay. Quiet location and very comfy bed meant we both slept better than we usually do when away.

Picture book cottage

Just a two night break to visit the area and catch up with old friends. The annexe to the Old Chapel was delightful - clean and neat and comfortable and our hosts Tony & Aileen Kilbee were friendly and helpful. The cottage is full of paintings done by Aileen which were a lovely touch.

We arrived to a lovely welcome from Aileen. The cottage is very clean and contained everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kitchen is well equipped and lounge chairs are very comfortable. Bed ok and bathroom was very good with lots of hot water at good pressure. Tony was also an excellent host and we enjoyed sharing our interest of history with him. Definitely recommend this as a great place to stay

Nice stay for 2 nights

Overall it was a lovely place to stay for a couple of nights. The welcome gifts and essentials of bread and milk being in the property for you is just lovely. It was a little out of the village than I realised when first booked but was okay except the road noise from cars as road at front is quite busy thankfully at night much better. Only downside was the oven it really needs to be cleaned.

Delightful & relaxing stay

The property is clean, comfortable and well equipped. The hosts, Tony and Aileen, are readily available but non-intrusive. The perfect balance. There are added touches such as the welcome pack which add to the overall stay and make life that much easier. If anything they should be charging more!!

Tony & Aileen are the perfect hosts and the accommodation truly feels like a home-away-from-home. All the necessities (and more) for catering for oneself are provided. You feel welcome the moment you meet Tony and step inside the cottage and find a lovely welcome card along with complimentary wine, milk, tea, coffee etc. We appreciated the books/pamphlets which detail the local area and the handy book that explained how the cooker/hob/washing machine work. This couple really goes the extra mile to make guests comfortable and happy! This was a wonderful start to our holiday and we recommend the Chapel Annexe wholeheartedly.
