Seymour Cottage, Horning, Norfolk
Review Submitted: August 17, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
This cottage was perfect for our needs...just two adults...as we stayed for 2 weeks and therefore cooked and ate in quite frequently; it was homely, comfortable, clean and well equipped. Could see it being a bit crowded with any more people, for that length of stay.
The description is pretty accurate, although the front garden is really the parking space with a large boat shed directly across the road. You can just see the river from the upstairs front bedroom. The patio area from the back bedroom is tiny, too small for more than 2 people to sit out and eat comfortably, and faces a high planted bank. But it's a great suntrap!
Council refuse collection seems to be fortnightly, which meant we accumulated bin bags of rubbish outside near the road, annoyingly added to by visiting boating holidaymakers during the night! We eventually removed the bags ourselves and took them to the nearest recycling facility outside Coltishall.
We were new to the Broads area and took advantage of river trips, walks, visitor centres and attractions, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed, and which made us want to return to see more. You definitely need a car. Excellent Park and Ride facility for visiting Norwich, which is a lovely city. Ruth had provided lots of information about things to do and see in the area and we found this very helpful. We ate out at the 2 local pubs, which were fine, and enjoyed a very good meal at the Staithe 'n' Willow restaurant in the village.
We would highly recommend this property as we would be perfectly happy to return ourselves at some time.
