Comfortable, great summerhouse, driveway for the car. Had everything we would have wanted.
Could do with a clock downstairs and a towel rail in the downstairs toilet.

Location for exploring Norfolk was great, central to most of our excursions.
To be honest, it needs a really good deep clean throughout. Bathrooms in particular, grubby sinks behind taps, toilets behind and under hinges of the seats just yuk! Grubby skirtings and base shelf over pipe box in downstairs toilet too. Bedding wasn’t ironed certainly in front room and I wasn’t actually sure that it had been changed. Beds were comfy though. The toaster was disgusting so we went to Sainsbury’s and bought a cheap toaster and kettle. Coffee table and block table in kitchen together with the outside of the fridge we’re grubby and dirty. We didn’t cook there at all. It looks like the bare minimum is done after every changeover. I did Air bnb in a large two bed flat for 2 years and my husband and I together did a 4 hour clean after each and every guest every single time. Maybe my expectations are just too high.

Very clear instructions and very easy to find property. Good to be able to park on drive. Very good location for north west Norfolk. Quiet location on small modern housing estate. Really enjoyed the summer house and relaxing downstairs. Well equipped with everything we needed and more. Comfortable sofas and nice to have dining table area for meals and card games. Nice enclosed garden, safe for my dog. Surprisingly spacious for 2 bedroomed cottage. Crown was good value, very good service and friendly local pub.
The bed in the blue bedroom. Needs a new mattress rather than layers of mattress topper, synthetic sheepskin (?), blanket and additional sheet. Our only grumble:we would definitely return otherwise.

The property was relatively newly built, clean and well furnished. It had convenient parking and was in a quiet rural location (although there are big dogs living next door we found they were reasonably quiet). A lovely garden and additional garden room was a nice added extra (especially the fairy lights that turn on at night). The welcome hamper was a bonus. We felt the house was good value for money. It had additional games to play with etc to keep kids (and adults) entertained if needed.
A little more information about how to work the full tv channels and also about the local amenities would have been nice as we were new to the area and were not sure where the nearest shop was or where we could get food. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and this was a plus point on the whole but sadly the crisps in it had past their best before date so perhaps a slight maintenance/oversight issue. Also the dishwasher tablets had just run out as there was an empty box under the sink (again just a tiny oversight). I would have really liked some microwaveable mugs (but maybe that’s just me? very handy for warming up milk/hot choc).

The cottage (new build) was excellent and as a previous visitor stated "a home from home". Every amenity one would want is there...books, DVDs, full crockery etc. A welcome hamper was nice. There is a summer house in the garden which was a surprise...this has to be a first! A great addition that dovetails well with the UK climate. This is probably one of the best cottages we have stayed in and comes highly recommended. We shall return in 2024.
Nothing with the exception of new technology. The house is well insulated and uses a heat pump. As slightly elder clients, we prefer a bath to a shower. The shower is excellent but the bath water temperature is not quite hot enough...easily fixed by a immersion heater.

Everything - a lovely home to spend a holiday in - right down to the choice of DVDs! Thank you again.

Beautiful living space with excellent amenities and equipment. Wonderfully warm with the under floor heating. The summerhouse made a fantastic escape for the teens, with a comfy sofa and TV. Utility room was very useful and the kitchen well equipped.
Thank you so much to our hosts for putting up a Christmas tree and the welcome hamper 😁
Beds are very soft, felt I was being folded in half. Was glad to find some hypoallergenic pillows to swap out the feather ones. The property looks to have pets visiting sometimes (just FYI for anyone with allergies)

Flint Cottage is the perfect home from home (which is important to me when my work takes me away from my actual home!)
Very well provisioned and equipped, cosy, quiet, private, comfortable and the wood burner was the deal maker (I have one at home and love it!) Communication with the lovely Jenny was superb and the welcome hamper really appreciated. Thank you for making my stay at Flint Cottage so special.

Very clean and comfortable stay.......

The cottage was very characterful and felt like a home from home. Everything was clean and our two children and dog couldn’t have been happier. A great cottage in a great location. We’re already planning to book again.

Lovely cottage,nice garden, safe for the dogs

The summerhouse was very good, enjoyed listening to talking books there.
Next door dogs were very loud.

Beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished. A large open plan living/ dining / kitchen area with quality laminate flooring. Separate utility room with washing machine, cat furniture and dog bed. Looking forward to visiting in winter and using the lovely log burner. Some of the Beautiful objects of interest around the house (a model ship, an old camera) might need moving out of reach if v young children are staying.
Well equipped kitchen with plenty of pans and crockery. Upstairs the two bedrooms were reasonably sized with drawers and hanging space. One firm mattress and one soft. The beds had both down and hollow fibre pillows on them, but I found additional hollow fibre ones in the cupboard to swap out.
Quiet cul-de-sac with easy access to main roads. Lovely deli/butchers in the village and Norfolk Woods Spa down the road. Garden has a summer house (my granddaughters loved it) a comfy seating area and a table and chairs with parasol.
Very responsive owners who answered questions quickly and provided excellent instructions.
The place is obviously thoroughly cleaned between guests and is advertised as pet-friendly (i just didn't consider that meant cats as well as dogs). There were still some cat hairs around so if you're very allergic you may need some antihistamines just in case. The owners are very helpful so there might be something more they can do if told in advance.

Excellent location for touring Norfolk. Cottage was lovely with everything we needed.

Lovely quiet location, fully enclosed garden great for my 3 dogs. It was like bing at home
There was nothing I didn’t like

The summerhouse and enclosed garden for safety of the dogs
On way back home, my wife realised that she had left some medication in the fridge, accidentally. When she texted Jenny the following day, she was told that they had been binned. This caused upset to my wife and an inconvenience and cost as to her obtaining some more.
However, Jenny has since offered to discount something off a future stay, if we decided to return, which we may do in the future.

Location was great, easy to get to the coast. Cottage was well equipped, cosy and comfortable. We loved the artwork, it gave the cottage a welcoming home from home vibe. The summerhouse was delightful.
Having to go home.

The property was in immaculate condition and had absolutely everything you need for a really relaxing stay.
Having to leave it!
4.7
Such a lovely homely place and perfect for Christmas with its log burner and the owners even put up a tree!
The floor was a little dirty in places but we had dogs so we probably made it worse.. the garden was very muddy due to the weather and I put down loads of our own towels to avoid muddy paw prints on the cream rug. Unfortunately we did leave some but the owners where great about it! Obviously this is no fault of the owner! But maybe a brown rug by the door 🥰

very comfortable; family & pet friendly

The property had all facilities i needed for a 3 week stay: Ironing Board, iron, washing machine, table to work from, ful cooking facilities etc.
My stay was in the autumn, but the property had good outdoor facilities.
The internet is a little low and this is most noticeable on the TV, however this is quite trivial really.

Homely, clean, warm, great facilities, everything worked. No issues - home from home.

Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Excellent communication with the owner. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family.

A beautiful little cottage, with all the amenities. It was exceptionally clean, little touches really thought through. Placed in a little friendly village, further away from the beach than we hope - but not a deal. Breaker.
Abit nearer to the beach would have made this perfect and no doubt more expensive! Was lovely couldn’t fault it.
4.7
Lovely inside decoration and very homely - great little fenced in garden for Our pups and lovely garden furniture - infact everything you needed was there inside and out
Absolutely everything
