The Duck House Reviews

Did what it said on the tin. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! VERY COMFORTABLE HOSTS WERE SPOT ON. Great value for money. Being partially disabled I found it suited my needs to a T.

A beautiful, clean, spacious and well maintained property. Everything you need for a lovely holiday.An ideal spot for exploring Norfolk. Great, helpful hosts. Lovely hot tub.

Richard

We enjoyed our stay at the Duck House and our star rating should be 4. 5 but there's no facility for that. It's a lovely property and Louise was welcoming and helpful. Our only minor issues were the comfort of the bed too soft for our liking and the TV is probably ready for an upgrade, we couldn't load ITVx and the wifi was very slow at times. I know these are only personal preferences and we're probably nitpicking as we did have a lovely stay.

We had a very relaxing holiday. The Duck house was very clean and perfect for a short stay in Norfolk. Very peaceful and beautiful surroundings.

Duncan and Louise were really welcoming. The Duck house was very suitable for us being on one level, as we both have disabilities. Also lovely and quiet. Holiday went far too quickly.

Christine

Lovely property in beautiful setting, no complaints at all

Bernard

Great location and property just as described and very comfortable. Duncan was perfect host which helped our holiday go well Louise was unfortunately away. The location is nicely secluded and within easy reach of amenities. Thank you.

The cottage was lovely, clean, bright, and spacious. It had everything you needed, even sunbeds, and the bed was very comfortable. The owners are lovely and very helpful. We enjoyed our relaxing stay and had a lovely time at the cottage. Hopefully, we will be back next year if our health is good.

Michael

We found the duck house to be exactly as described, clean, tidy , with everything we required and a lovely welcome pack. It was in a very peaceful secluded setting but within easy reach by car of everything Norfolk has to offer. It was lovely to come back after a days sightseeing to relax in the very nice jacuzzi. Many thanks to Duncan and Louise. We hope to return one day.

Lovely cottage. Well looked after and hot tub perfect being very private overlooking garden Would highly recommend to friends and family for a nice quiet relaxing break thankyou

Wonderful place. If you want a quiet retreat this is perfect. We loved the use of the hot tub. The pub in the village serves superb home cooked food. Really excellent place. Highly recommend.

Jonathan

We absolutely loved our week here at tge Duck House, for us it was quiet, peaceful and such a lovely place to come back to after a day's walking about and enjoying Norfolk. The Hot tub for us was fantastic we used nearly every night, we felt relaxed and ready for rge next day after 40 minutes in it. Our holiday was so good it felt like we spent 14 days at Duck House, it was nice that the history of the site was included in the welcome brochure, we always felt that should if we needed to that we could have contacted the owners who lived next door but we were left to our own devices and that suited us on saying that we did make sure we said bye and thanked them for having us at Duck House, we will always remember the relaxing time we had there.

The property was superb in a quiet peaceful part of Norfolk. A perfect place for a touch of R & R. A nice touch with the welcome items. The hot tub was well used after busy days touring new parts of the county.

Property was great and suited us as we are in our 70s and have some mobility problems so single level property is a must, the surrounding gardens are beautiful with a tranquil pond with visiting family of Moorhens. Only issue is not suitable location for all electric vehicles as you cannot charge there overnight, and there limited public charging points in the area. Had I have been in petrol vehicle would say 10 out of 10 for this property, with the owners being first class.

The Duck house was lovely, the garden was kept well, it was lovely and peaceful, we did not use hot tub for personal reasons, but would have done if we could, the welcoming pack was lovely, dressing gowns was a lovely touch. We met the lady owner but not the husband which was a shame.

Anthony

We loved the Duck

Stephen

The Duck House is absolutely beautiful. Everything we could have hoped for was there to ensure that our holiday was as enjoyable as possible. From the luxurious furnishings and decor to the bottle of prosecco in the fridge on our arrival, the hot tub that was so relaxing after a day out exploring, and the peace and tranquility of the private garden..... everything was lovely. I was celebrating a big birthday, and it made my day even more special.

Richard

Totally perfect , many thanks

Caitlyn

We loved our stay at the Duck House. Perfect size for two. Lovely lay out with jacuzzi and modern kitchen. Wonderful friendly owners. We would definitely stay again.

Clean, comfortable accommodation for a relaxing holiday. Cooking area is a little cramped but all appliances worked well.

Great cottage brilliant location. Having the hot tube under cover really top off our stay. Would highly recommend anyone to stay here

Malcolm

We enjoyed a relaxing week in the Duck House. We found it to be very comfortable and peaceful. We finished each day with a dip in the spacious hot tub before enjoying a glass of wine with dinner. Would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday.

The property was lovely and clean and also well maintained, we never had any intentions of eating main meals in , if we did we believe it would have been difficult. We found several downsides to the property in our personal view. No phone signal EE Wifi continually dropping out Having to wash my car every morning due to pigeons Lack of wardrobe space Chemicals in hot tub burning our eyes Could do with some bigger mugs cups Tried to contact owners but unable to get through, informed they were on holiday in France so no onsite help.

A lovely week stay at the Duck House, everything we could of asks for. Loved sitting in the garden listening to the birds. The hot tub was also great. We loved our stay here will definitely book again.

Could use more drawers for clothes storage but I am being picky.

Great holiday from beginning to end, the Duck House was superb with a brilliant hot tub, the owners were lovely and friendly. We would definitely stay again if in the area!

I actually booked this beautiful property for myself and my wife for some much needed time together. Unfortunately, I became unwell at the last minute so passed the treat on to my parents! They loved every minute even the drive there and back was enjoyed. It was immaculately clean, warm, comfortable, and precisely as described. I guess I will need to book again ?

Stephen

A lovely quiet cottage for 2. Well fitted out with all you can want for a long weekend. The hot tub is a bonus.

Michael

Comfortable, clean well maintained property. The hot tub was amazing , everything we needed for a 2 week stay. The extras including Prosecco, jams, milk, orange juice , teas, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits made you feel welcomed. The property benefited from room to room underfloor heating which was fantastic as you could control the temperature in each room. Perfect for individual choices. The property had a washing machine but on rainy days had no where to dry washing , Louise the owner provided us with a airer which we out put to good use. There is ample parking. Both Duncan and Louise were great hosts , gave us the much needed privacy we wanted. Excellent position for walkers with great trails nearby. Deers are a plenty in this beautiful county . Would highly recommend.

First class accommodation. Really comfortable for the two of us. Private hot tub was icing on the cake. Hope to be back in the future. Thank you.

We had a very restful week at The Duck House. It was a very quiet place, and the accomodation was modern and spotless with a big hot tub overlooking the garden. Duncan and Louise went out of their way by providing little extras which made the stay more special. Great location for exploring Norfolk. We highly recommend this property

Cynthia

Tastefully decorated, comfortable and spacious accommodation for two. The owners were very helpful and there were some lovely extras awaiting us. The Duck House was peaceful, quiet and located in a tiny hamlet but not far from the small town of Watton where any necessary shopping can be done. We had a great time exploring Norfolk and The Duck House was a very convenient location for us.

One of the best hot tubs ever, felt like i was getting a back and shoulder massage in one corner of the tub. cottage was better then the pictures shown, garden was lovely with nice outside furniture. and some great little extras throw in,which was totally unexpected and a huge bonus . underfloor heating was also fantastic

Fantastic property, modern and clean open plan living area with hot tub and nice ... Fantastic property, modern and clean open plan living area with hot tub and nice patiogarden area, great location for trips to Norwich, Heacham, Hunstanton, Sandringham

Alison

Pleasant stay.

Stephen

Very comfortable and well situated property. Hot tub a luxurious bonus!

This is perfect for either exploring the area or walks in the area. We did some of both. It is a quiet place to stay but with a good pub with good food within walking distance. The Duck house is 5 for quality, comfort, cleanliness and facilities. It was great to have the hot tub indoors but with doors opening out to garden when weather is better one way and other way straight back into your own bathroom to shower off. Owners were close by but not intrusive, very friendly and helpful. The Farm shop close by ok for fresh veg but not much else. We hope to revisit at future date.
