Cottage is fab as always, we love the farm, the village and the county! We’ll be back! Make sure to use the village butcher – he’s well worth a visit!"
- Carla, Steve, Eleanor and Rowley pug

As always the cottage has not disappointed, comfy, warm and well looked after. Sorry to be going home, but we will be back again. Thank you for helping our break to be so enjoyable."

"Just splendid, such a gift thank you. Beautifully looked after, warm and cosy – makes for a wonderfully relaxed family holiday.

We have been struck by the generosity and hospitality of the owners who (to be honest), have gone far beyond the call of duty to make us feel at home and welcomed us. We will always be grateful."
- The Theos
"This is our third stay at Manor Farm and we have loved every single minute. So lucky with the weather again, beach walks every day and not had to use the car. The cottage has everything we have needed for our stay and it is going to be a struggle to go home.

Thank you for a lovely stay"
- The Arnold Family
"Thank you for a wonderful stay, we went on lots of walks and the weather has been great. The ‘Cow Byre’ is lovely with lots of special touches. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable, we’ve had a fantastic time.

Thank you and you’ll definitely see us again."
– Chris & Mick Collick, Dadley, Dale, Derbyshire
"We hardly used the car, the walk into Cromer (in particular) is easy and can be done along the beach depending on the tide; or do the circular walk to West Runton and return via the cliff top or beach (again, tide dependent). We’ve spent most of the last 20 years coming to Norfolk (at least twice a year), so it’s safe to say we’ll be back!"

- The Robinsons (Leicestershire) and Rowley the Pug
"Thank you for a lovely stay in your cottage. Home from home, everything you need for a self-catering holiday."
– John and Joyce Clasper
