Owlwood Cottage Reviews

Sarah
A lovely cottage that is well equipped - even has a hot water bottle. A good base to see all the lovely places nearby.
Christian
Absolutely perfect. Wonderful place to stay, everything one needs and have to say the beds were so good that after days out exploring and soaking in the attractions we all sleep like cozy logs. Owners were second to none with helpful information and we would definitely stay at Owlwood again when next looking at a get away in Norfolk. Added bonus, the neighbours are wonderful too. Highly recommend Owlwood Cottage if fancying a seaside break.
Andrew
Clean, tidy, well equipped, comfortable.
Ross
Very good property all things well organised and in great condition
Freddy
We spent a wonderful week in this property, exploring the local area. A wonderfully kept property, with excellent bus links to other destinations along the Norfolk Coast. Would highly recommend
Mandy
Great home from home,with all the equipment and comfort needed for a great stay.Spotlessly clean, in quiet location, within easy reach of local beaches,.
Bridget
â??We had a wonderful stay â?? the house was very well-equipped, clean, warm, and had a lovely homely feel. We were really impressed with the property overall. Although the kettle wasnâ??t working initially, the owner promptly replaced it the same day, which we really appreciated. The 30-minute walk to the beach was also very pleasant.
Suzanne
A lovely property, on a quiet street, with access to walks and local buses. We particularly enjoyed relaxing in the sun house at the bottom of the garden and listening to the birds. Although we bought pillows we didn't need to use them as the bedding and king size bed were so comfortable. We stayed for a long weekend but can't wait to come back again for a full week. Suzanne & Paul
Ruth

Ovidiu
Comfortable, bright, clean and quiet cottage in a beautiful location. It had everything we needed. Helpful and communicative hosts. Perfect for a family holiday.
Jennifer
Fantastic location. Great for visiting all of Norfolk! Comfortable,sunny and clean. Garden lovely and private and quiet. Excellent â??user guideâ?? and great book collection. Bed was pretty comfortable and we both slept well.
Roger
Clean and tidy house in a quiet location. Need to drive for groceries - Spar in Blakeney, Budgens on the way to Sherringham. The Pheasant Hotel and Ship Inn are walkable (but no pavement) and dinners at both were very good. Easy walk to the sea and along the coast.
Robert
Very comfortable cottage with all amenities one would expect. Furniture, fixtures and fittings were all of a high standard.
Barry
Pleasant and comfortable terraced house on a small ex military housing estate. Ten minutes walk into Weybourne (pub) but no pavement half the way. Bus stop nearby but the last bus from Sheringham is about 17:40. Some items in the kitchen need updating.
Adam
A lovely light and bright cottage, very well equipped. Although itâ??s a terraced house you donâ??t notice noise from the street. Thanks for a great stay, we will be back.
