Elma Cottage Reviews

Paul
Had a fabulous time at the cottage, the location is perfect, great walks and very handy for the White horse pub, the cottage was very homely clean practical and warm and none of us wanted to leave, that also includes our dogs, would love to stay here again and would certainly recommend it to our friends.
Benjamin
We had a fantastic stay at Elma Cottage? The property is a really nice cottage in a great location, it has good parking and a well fenced garden for the dogs! The owners were great at communicating before arrival and during the stay. We would highly recommend it.
Kathrine
Elma Cottage is a well equipped, comfortable, dog friendly, home from home. I will definitely be returning.
Clive
Super location and lovely dog safe garden.
Alex
Amazing property both inside and out in a fantastic location right next to the beach and Norfolk coastal path.
Nigel
The cottage was perfect for our annual family holiday with baby and dogs in tow. Probably the most dog friendly cottage we have stayed in. Being allowed to leave the dogs unattended in the utility room / toilet was a bonus and the very secure garden meant we could relax with the dogs outside, so thank you. Can't think of anything that wasn't available in the kitchen and the air fryer proved a hit for breakfast baps.
Ally
An absolutely gorgeous cottage Annex really nice too So well equipped with Lovely bathrooms Kitchen Lovely and all u need is there ! Even a coffee machine (altho I took mine anyway lol ) Washer dryer pegs and wash line in the beautifully open large garden Sun from morn till eve Our dogs loved the space Pub across road and the bakery is amazing Sourdo bread Lovely Great pub and friendly too with great garden Beautiful walks to Hunstanton or to Thornham Brill bus service too and dogs allowed !! A Lovely village A perfect cottage
Ian
Handy cottage in a great location. Thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the sun in the terrace and dining area.
Christine
A very comfortable and well equipped cottage in an idyllic, quiet location close to beaches, nature reserves and a welcoming pub. The garden is dog safe and big enough for a good romp plus itâ??s south facing so you can make the most of the good weather exploring and back at base.
Helen
Everything was perfect!
Peter
Lovely place to be with your family forget about all the stress life throws at you. You realy do unwind a come down a gear very quickly. Very enjoyable back next year
Kirstin
Lovely comfortable cottage, couldn't fault anything. Our dogs loved the large garden. Nice village location, would definitely come again.
Maggie
The cottage was superb and the garden for the dogs was the best weâ??ve encountered in Norfolk.
Karen
Lovely cottage been there before just a few tweaks needed to be excellent
Lesley
We loved the cottage and its perfect, quiet location just down the road from the White Horse pub. The walk to the beach is a bit longer for those with mobility issues, but nonetheless a very attractive stroll. The cottage is very well equipped, and we wanted for nothing during our stay. Would most definitely return.
Gill
Great garden for dogs and children. Wonderful location and pub across the road does very good food and is most welcoming.
Aileen
This was our second visit and Iâ??m sure weâ??ll be back. House is perfect. Large enclosed garden for dogs. Location is ideal as itâ??s close to the beach for walks, good local pub and lots of places to explore nearby. Our weather was great so we had a bbq every night and sat outside in the evening sun. All in all a perfect week.
John
Been holidaying at Elma for years. Absolutely love it.
Lesley
Lovely cottage , great location ...clean and very comfortable, very dog friendly and a safe garden.
Alex
Only one minor point - the roof gutter was blocked just to one side of bedroom 2, such that during heavy rain rainwater overspills onto the outside sill making it sound as though water was running into the bedroom, however it wasn't but in the middle of the night it gives you a bit of a fright!
Maureen
Elma Cottage is a super property. Itâ??s well equipped, spotlessly clean and very warm and cosy. Also, ample parking off road was much appreciated. We spent Christmas week here, and the large table in the spacious kitchen/dining area was ideal for our festive family meals. The close proximity to the gorgeous beach and nature reserve made it a great place to stay.
