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.

Dove Cottage weekend break

dannatt Bedfordshire
Review Submitted: November 17, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
We had a really lovely weekend break in Dove Cottage, it was situated down a quiet lane , road to cottage is very bumpy but passable, the cottage its self was lovely , very clean and had lots of extra's under the kitchen sink!, there was no DVD in the cottage as advertised but when mentioned to Chrissy one was brought over straight away, the pool and jaccussi were brill , we took our grandchildren aged 3 and 8 and they had a fantastic time .
All on one level so great for disabled too, owners dogs are beautiful and very welcoming, a great place to stay for Norwich and surrounding area, we will certainlly be going back .
Owner's are very friendly and helpful.
thankyou both for a great weekend
happy family from

Autumn break Dove Cottage

Review Submitted: October 13, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Throughly enjoyed our stay with you and you were right it was a perfect place to bring my elderly parents. The property was beautifully cleaned throughout and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family (I already have). We enjoyed the pool and hot tub which meant we could be close by should my parents need us, but also gave us the extra space. Plenty to do around and about for young and old alike. I feel sure we will be paying you another visit.

Review Submitted: September 27, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
If your looking for a lovely quiet, & serene place to stay then this is the place for you. We had a lovely time. It was very relaxing which is just what we needed.
The cottage is lovely, also very clean, and well equipped, there's even a washing machine! which you can use if you need to.
We unfortunately could only stay for the weekend, but wish we could have stayed longer.
Christine and Keith are wonderful hosts and the dogs were great too ( very friendly)
The jacuzzi and swimming pool were something else and we were lucky to have them both to ourselves the weekend we were there.
There's lovely pubs nearby, and plenty of places to visit and things to see and do.
We wish we had taken are golf clubs as there was a golf course just around the corner, but we'll take them with us next time, thats for sure!Thanks again Chris and Keith for a very enjoyable weekend. Janice and John of Ipswich.

Dove Cottage

Bruce 2 Hertfordshire
Review Submitted: September 7, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Myself and my family looked for a late 1 week break in Norfolk. We happened upon Dove Cottage and had a wonderful week away. The description was extremely accurate and the property clean and well maintained. We had a great time and Chrissy and Keith were very welcoming and helpful. My children were taken with their dogs who are wonderful. The pool area was always warm, clean and inviting, together with hot tub. We are currently discussing with some of our friends whether we should try and book both cottages for a week next year. We travelled all over North Norfolk and found the area a good place to be based. Also found a great pub 5 miles away in village of Colton, The Ugly Bug Inn. Great for lunch or evening meal.
We thank Chrissy and Keith for a good holiday and will visti there again.

The Perfect Holiday

ChrisBaines Wynyard Village
Review Submitted: August 23, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We stayed in Dove Cottage in August 2009. The cottage is lovely and very well equipped. The location is beautiful. Keith, Chris and the spaniels and very friendly and welcoming. The pool and hot tub were clean and a great facility to have. We have two small boys aged 2 and 4 and the area had plenty of attractions to keep them occupied without too many crowds - Bewilderwood, Banham Zoo, Dinosaur Adventure, Steam railways, The Broads and of course the nearby beaches. Overall an excellent holiday . We would recommend this cottage as an excellent base to explore Norfolk.
