This property is very well equipped with generous provision of staples in the kitchen (herbs, spices, dish washer tablets etc). Most importantly though, the heated pool was very clean and kept to a very pleasant temperature - the kids were never out of it. Good pub within easy walking distance (though better in the drinks and garden departments than the food).

Our family group ranged in age from 9mths to 70years plus dog and we all had a wonderful time.
The accommodation was spacious, comfortable and very well equipped.
Highlight was the swimming pool which we used at least twice a day.
There were many great walks for the dog and the 5 yr old loved throwing poo sticks from the bridge into the ford nearby.
Lots of bird life, so peaceful but only a few minutes drive to Holt, or walk if you prefer through the wood.(we were told it comes out at Budgens!).
Letheringsett mill is 10 minutes walk, we did not manage to visit when open but apparently serves tea and cakes and well worth a visit.
The seaside is a short drive away so lots to do nearby if you can get the children to leave the pool.
Many thanks for an amazing holiday we will not forget.

My overall impression of the property was positive although some of the furniture is a bit tired, dated and uncomfortable , the cleaning of the property wasn’t as good as we would have expected , the kitchen floor ,hi chair & fridge door were not clean on arrival . The owner also needs to update the terms & conditions as we were phoned during our stay and ask not to charge our electric vehicle . I would also suggest a few more home comforts eg cushions & covers/blankets for the chairs as they were stained also extra toilet rolls as we ran out . To summarise we enjoyed our stay at the property but expected better value for money .

Couldn't fault this superb property. Warm pool, quiet location, short walk to nearest pub, and superb Norfolk coast and coastal towns. We all loved it.

Beautiful holiday cottage that is probably one of the best equipped that we have ever rented. Well positioned in a peaceful hamlet it has generous off road parking for two large vehicles. The annexe works very well allowing some peace and quiet in the main house. The pool is lovely and stayed warm even with the cloudy weather. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cottage to family and friends.

The Old Stables worked well for us, two families, one residing in the main house and myself and family in the annexe. We found the kitchen well equipped for cooking and enjoyed some meals around the huge table.
The weather was warm and sunny during our stay and it was wonderful to use the pool every day. The pool is certainly this properties biggest asset. ( we did have some issues with wasps, my 3 year old niece was stung in the pool on our last day. The small fruit trees around the pool attract wasps and we all felt that the trees should be removed).
The property is in a lovely quiet location but close to many attractions and beaches.
We have no hesitation recommending The Old Stables and would love to stay again.

The Old Stables was a lovely property of a high quality. The pool was great and very welcome in the Norfolk sunshine. Central for the North Norfolk Coastal towns and villages and for days out further afield. Good pub in walking distance. We had a magical time and would definitely recommend.

We (six adults and a baby) enjoyed the location of the house – Holt is a short drive away and we spent the week visiting Norfolk's beautiful north-coast beaches.
The house offered a good base, but we did have a few niggles. The beds, being ziplink, dip in the middle, so aren't particularly comfortable. The spacious upstairs living room feels wasted, with not enough seats if you're a party of eight and an odd configuration – two armchairs facing a small tv. We ended up sitting in rows to watch a film one night! We spent more time in the kitchen, which has a small seating area (for four people), but the armchairs and sofa feel quite old and have no support. The tv downstairs is also small for the size of the room and we found the wifi patchy when several of us tried to use it simultaneously.
We did appreciate the recommendations in the Welcome Pack (the farm shop is definitely worth a visit for brunch!) and Fionnuala was a good, communicative host who responded quickly when we realised we were missing a set of keys.
Though we enjoyed our break, it did feel like we were paying a "luxury" price for fairly basic accommodation. With a little investment the interior could be made much more functional/usable, comfortable and (though subjective!) aesthetically appealing, which I think is expected for the price.

We would highly recommend this wonderful cottage and annexe. The pictures do not do this accommodation justice. Very well equipped and spacious inside with a fabulous outdoor pool and plenty of outdoor seating in both garden areas. Both of these are secure for the two dogs you are permitted to bring with you.

3 generations of our family plus our puppy just had a lovely week at this gorgeous property. The pool and the area surrounding it were absolutely great - helped by one of the best weather weeks of the year so we all enjoyed cooling off in the pool! The area is wonderful - 5 minutes from Holt (and a decent sized Budgens), 10 mins from Wells, 20 / 30 mins to the beaches at Wells and Holkham. Kitchen very well appointed, very pretty sitting room upstairs in the main house. Worth noting the smaller bedroom in the annex is pretty small for adults - my parents stayed in there and didn’t have much room, but would be fine for 2 smallish children. Overall a gorgeous week and we’ll definitely be rebooking!

Very comfortable cottage in a lovely location, close both to Holt and the Norfolk Coast. Loads of opportunities for the more active of us with beautiful walks, runs and cycle routes plus all that the nearby beaches have to offer. My husband loved the short walk to the ford and watching the bird life from the nearby bench.

This was an excellent property for our family, with our son, daughter-in-law and girls living in the annexe, with direct access to the pool. My wife and I stayed in the main house, with our teenage granddaughter, and it worked very well. The only negative issue we had was with the wasps around the pool. They are a real problem, especially if you have an allergic reaction to them. My daughter-in-law, who is a qualified paramedic, is terrified of wasps and it did impact on her enjoyment of the pool area. It's not really good enough to put up signs saying 'beware wasps', as it's patently obvious because of the number of them. I think it should be mentioned in the particulars on the website. However, apart from that, it's a lovely place to stay!

Excellent trip
Really excellent trip. The property was attractive, clean and well equipped with a nice garden and pool. We particularly appreciated that the owner proactively managed the Covid situation, delaying payment until the government advice allowed the stay a couple of weeks before the booked date, and putting in place a clearly appropriate cleaning and changeover process.

Autumn break
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Stables. The house was warm and very comfortable. The Aga was much appreciated for cooking and drying wet clothes. We had 14 hours of very heavy rain but the house did not flood even though much of the surrounding area did. Holt has excellent food shops and we enjoyed some meals out in the area.

Beautiful, very well appointed cottage and annex. Everything we needed and more. Great for our grandchildren who made full use of the pool and courtyard. Nice to be able to bolt pool area off and know they were safe to play. Great family holiday. Definitely hoping to return next year.

This comfortable family home is well equipped to a high standard and has the added bonus of the pool which our grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed during our weeks stay. The weather was very warm but the water temperature was high enough that I’m sure they would have enjoyed it whatever the weather.
The house is located in a quiet area close to the coast and other attractions. Our dog enjoyed his walks in the beautiful countryside around the house in particular down the lane to the nearby river.
I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable well equipped holiday home and am looking onward to returning here in the future.
