GUEST BOOK: Peaceful idyllic spot to re-charge our batteries over a long weekend. Swimming pool a welcome bonus as the temperature soared, we’ll be back!!! Martin, June, Pam & Charlie 21st June. 16th July to 29th July Maynard, Helen, Julia and Catherine. Had a great time, the pool is perfect, first time I have been swimming for 38yrs!! Really nice 2 wks in Norfolk, a nice area to stay with lots to do close by. Julia loved her 6th birthday, thanks to Keith for the lights in the pool that night, it made her day. We love Cassie (cocker spaniel) Thanks to Chrissy & Keith. 30th July Lovely cottage, lovely pool, lovely hosts, we have really enjoyed our stay here there is so much to do & see, a week is not long enough, we would love to come back with our dog Izzy. We enjoyed our daily visits from Cassie. Gilly, Richard, Lucy & Jack. Lovely accommodation, pool & Jacuzzi great, weather not too bad either. Plenty to do & see in surrounding areas. Thanks Elaine, Mark Andrew & Rachael.

Thank you, we've thoroughly enjoyed our week revisiting favorite haunts and finding new ones. Boat hire at Wroxham, puppet theatre at Norwiech, NNR steam trains, and Sherringham Park all well worth visiting. Cottage in excellent condition with every detail thought of. Swimming pool has been brilliant. Chrissy & Keith proved a kind and welcoming host, will recommend. Katy, John, Emily and Ben Aug. 2005. Thank you so much for the smashing welcome- made us feel at ease from that moment, Squirrel Cottage lovely, pool perfect and you couldn't fail to notice how much use we made of it - never missed a session, don't want to leave! The children have loved every minute, there has been so much to see and do. Have to come back! Cassie needs to come home with baby Alice please!!!!! Paul, Dawn, Megan, Edward and Alice. Very enjoyable stay. The Pool made the holiday. Lovely riverside garden at the back of the Bush pub in costessey. Holt to Sheringham steam train is well worth a visit. Thank you C

Chrissy & Keith for making us so welcome we have had a lovely peaceful chill out time. Love from four sisters Therese, Cathy, Rosemary & Jenny. We have had a great time this week, I have loved the pool because I don't usually go swimming will tell friends about it, The Swan pub and oz restaurant are well worth a visit. Stan & Jane. Our return visit was even better than the first ( which is incredible) Chrissy & Keith are wonderful hosts and the pool is just perfect, many thank we'll be back soon Niki, Alan, Thomas, Samuel & Rhiannon. Endless miles of sandy beaches tired both of us & the dogs to exhaustion, but then revitalised by a glass of wine in the Jacuzzi! Gotta get ourselves one of them, perfect hosts, perfect holiday retreat, perfect beaches- all in all a perfect week away like everybody else- we'd love to return Kevin & Tracy. Lovely house & great location, hot tub excellent had a great time & will be back Jamie & Colette. Fantastic place, like a home from home, pool house.

Golf: Amazing. Just wish we could have stayed longer, will definitely be back! Adam & Dianne. A clean, comfortable place to stay, not being able to go out and about we were well entertained by watching the dogs playing, the rabbits, pheasants, fox and numerous birds. Pity Christine & Keith forgot to book the deer though! Vic, Helen & Victoria. Wow! What a fabulous place and such fabulous hosts. A stunning setting and the pool is the cherry on the cake. We have thoroughly enjoyed Jack's 1st holiday and he has got so much out of it. An excellent day at Norfolk Wildlife Centre - great value (very hands on) and excellent food at the oz restaurant. We've been so busy we need to return for a rest! We owe Niki and Alan many thanks for the recommendation. Paula, Barry and baby Jack.

A relaxing stay in winter(should have been spring!) saved by much swimming in pool and enjoyable walks on fine beaches Overstrand - Sea Palling-Yarmouth. Our lovely friendly hosts chrissy and Keith smoothed our break. A welcome change-we shall return! Foster Family

October weather - Relaxing holiday

SandieJune Walthamstow, London
Review Submitted: November 3, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Thanks Chrissie and Keith for such wonderful accomodation in a lovely location. Spent many hours in the pool and walking the lovely area. The girls enjoyed the dogs and nearby horses. Went for many drives during the day and spent the evenings reading, playing cards and watching TV (couldn't find the DVD!) in comfort. Would love to come back, in warmer weather, and bring family or friends.

Squirrel Cottage

Review Submitted: September 14, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Had a really lovely week in July. Cottage was very homey with lots of little extras such as milk in the fridge and an array of books to borrow. Pool was great, so close to the cottage and much bigger than expected. Pool house was always warm. Our children loved the friendly dogs and wanted to take them home! Boating at Wroxham was wonderful and we all enjoyed the ghost walk in Norwich. Our hosts were really friendly but not intrusive at all and kindly sent back to us all the many stray items we managed to leave behind!

Great holiday had by all

Review Submitted: August 23, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We chose squirrel cottage mostly for the private use of the swimming pool and hot tub.The accommodation itself was an added bonus,it was very spacious and well maintained. The web site is a very accurate representation of what you get.Keith and Chrissy the owners were very friendly, as were their beautiful dogs.This holiday suited all ages ,from Grandparents to teenagers. Our Daughter has many health issues and squirrel cottage was very accessible for her.As the swimming sessions are private she had a great time,and would probably stayed in all day if she had been able to.The only bad thing about Squirrel cottage was that we only stayed for a week.Would recommend to everyone,as even in high season the rates are very reasonable for the facilities.

In a word - Fantastic!

Review Submitted: July 6, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Just spent a lovely week at Squirrel Cottage with my 2 children and their grandma. The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable. Pool and hot-tub were enjoyed by us all. Chrissie and Keith were fabulous hosts and their three lovely dogs provided entertainment for our own dog and the children. The unknown element of the holiday (the weather) was very nearly faultless. All in all we had a wonderful time and will be making a return visit next year. This is a lovely part of the world, very peaceful and relaxing.
