Plenty of Room!
Review Submitted: August 3, 2008
Date of Stay: June 2008
Kingfisher's Retreat is a self-catering holiday cottage. It is conveniently situated, with easy access by car to all parts of Norfolk via the A47. There is private, off-road parking outside the door. The village pub, with good food, is nearby. There is interesting walking, on paths and in open country, close at hand.
We found the property in excellent condition, clean and well maintained. The rooms are large. The kitchen is well-equipped; it is a pleasant place in which to work and have meals and has a view of the owners garden, which slopes down to the River Tud. The lounge is long and wide, with comfortable chairs and a settee, TV, video and sound systems, plenty of reading material and sliding glass doors giving access to a patio and the owner's garden. The bathroom has lots of room and is supplied with all requirements. The bedroom is spacious, with windows to catch the afternoon sun and plenty of storage.
We have stayed in many self-catering cottages in different parts of the UK over the years and were delighted to find one big enough to walk up and down in and with a large private courtyard in which to park the car. Other bonuses were the garden, which we were encouraged to explore and sit out in, the birds, which came to a feeder outside the lounge and provided great entertainment and interest, the friendly, courteous and unobtrusive hospitality of our host and the delicious fresh-picked, organically grown gooseberries and rhubarb which he supplied us with and which kept us in desserts for long after we had moved on.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kingfisher's Retreat and look forward to a return visit.
It is handy, capacious and neat,
For comfort and price, hard to beat,
A true home-from-home
Where you're welcome to roam
In the garden; Kingfisher's Retreat!
