Courtyard Cottage Reviews

Jennifer
Cozy retreat in a perfect location for exploring local, lovely walks & nearby Wells Next to Sea, Cley etc.The small cottage heated up quickly, was equipped sufficiently and very peaceful. Loved the Welcome pack thank you!
Kevin
A very enjoyable mini break, comfortable and cosy, ideal location by the coast for walking Bruno, he loved it!
Kieran
We had a wonderful stay at Courtyard Cottage and would certainly recommend to others - in a perfect central location for exploring throughout North Norfolk. Very comfortable & cosy and while the property is pretty small, it was ample for us with two dogs! There were a few kitchen items lacking which would've been useful, such as sugar, pepper, oil & bin bags. We did however have a lovely selection of local items on arrival including apple juice, tea bags and cookies, and towels were included (contrary to listing).
John
Very happy some bumps to heads ( very low ceilings not for tall folk ) nice sitting out area good location handy for bus stop warm and cosy
Martyn
So Lovely. Quiet and peaceful. Hope to stay again later in the year.
Emma
Sweet little cottage perfect for two. Location as always is lovely and very quiet. I particularly enjoyed being in bed in the loft listening to the birds outside the window.
Colette
The Cottage is in a perfect location for walks out across the salt marshes. Its perfect for a couple & two dogs, the kitchen was clean to a very high standard, and allows you to self cater, we loved the welcome basket ( local tea, cookies, apple juice and breakfast cereal ) the local stores has wonderful supplies and coffee and the Red Lion is fantastic - great food and hospitality We will be back
Chris
Small but perfectly formed
Lisa
Had a wonderful stay at Courtyard Cottage. Yes there are places you can/will bang your head but we knew the layout and it was perfect for what we wanted. Compact, neat and tidy, only 5 mins walk from the lovely pub and 10 mins down to the salt marshes. Close to Wells and Blakeney. Great local stores/coffee shop - good for a morning pastry. The space is small but well kept and kitted out. Would definitely stay again.
Graham
Lovely quiet cottage with access to marshes and walks from the door.
Mr Chris
Comfortable cottage , Stunning location to view Wildlife on the nearby shore and walks. Also saw the Northern Lights. Welcome pack was well received.
Sally
Overall we enjoyed our stay and location excellent. Perhaps not suitable for those with any mobility issues.
David
Lovely cottage in an ideal location for walks on coastal path, bus service and local pub. Although small, fantastic use of space and great layout. Thoughtful welcome pack was a great gesture and much appreciated.
Sharon
A very small property for the price commanded - we ABNB a lot and this I don't think presented value for money. Location good for walking both locally and further afield. Local pub Red Lion not worth the recommendations ( we have left a trip advisor post accordingly) food mediocre, service appalling.
Trevor
Lovely little cottage with fantastic access to lovely walks ,was very clean and tidy and well equipped
Nick
Courtyard Cottage is a lovely place for a holiday for one or two fairly agile people. The setting is just beautiful, and close to a good pub and a shop selling lots of superb food. It is a good place to take one or two small pets as the courtyard is fully enclosed. There are a number of steps inside the cottage which could be difficult for some people to manage. It is tastefully furnished. The workspace with monitor and keyboard is a nice touch, and the welcome pack was very welcome! We hope to return soon.
Steve
Perfect location, well equipped cottage, comfortable furnishings.
Dawn
Charming little cottage , smaller than we'd anticipated as we came with 2 dogs , but with good use of space . The mezzanine bedroom was lovely,and the enclosed courtyard safe and secure. Also only a 5 minute walk to the the marshland/beach therefore not really a problem being in a slightly smaller property. Very cosy
Anne
Nice pretty barn conversion.The location was perfect.Plenty of walks from the cottage.
Alison
Comfortable and attractive cottage which has a small living room which is not very light â?¦ but the sheltered courtyard garden makes it ideal in the spring and summer months. The coastal path is literally 6minutes walk away down the quiet road the cottage is located on.
Jeanette
Fantastic location, a quiet friendly village. The cottage is less than 5 mins to the coastal path and 5 steps away from the bus stop where you can catch the Coastal Hopper bus However the cottage is in need of some TLC. An awkward layout which would not be suitable for an older person or someone with mobility issues, or someone who is taller than average
Caroline
Small but perfect for two people, very comfortable bed and living area. really lovely location with walks from the doorstep
Rosie
Fantastic location for exploring the north Norfolk coast including amazing bird watching sites. This quirky property has everything we needed for our stay. Dog friendly but doesn't allow dogs up to the bedroom on the mezzanine floor.
Susan
Excellent location - lovely little cosy warm cottage - secure courtyard for dog and hose pipe to wash dogâ??s muddy feet and our wellies was a very welcome touch. Great dog walks directly from the cottage door. Super little food and coffee shop just a short stroll from the cottage which was open every day and a lovely pub for breakfasts/lunches and evening meals also within a short walking distance. Ideal location for exploring the North Norfolk coastline and on the Coast-hopper bus route. Perfect for two adults and a small dog.
Peter
Snug and cosy for two people
