An excellent holidsy

We booked this cottage along with two others so our wider family could spend time together. It worked brilliantly - the accommodation was great, the facilities well thought through and easy to use. We will definitely be returning.

A lovely week away

As a family of three with a toddler, we had such a nice week at Wagtail. The games room was great fun, we loved using the pool and we had a great time in the little playground. We thought the cottage was really well located, and easily got to lots of wonderful parts of north Norfolk. Everything was so thoughtful and well set up for young families. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Family week in beautiful Notfolk

This is the second time we have stayed at Cranmer cottages ( Woodpecker last year ). For us we have found the perfect place to stay. With three children under four, the facilities are outstanding. We didn’t use the games room last time but this time loved the fact that it accommodates all ages. We love the location as it’s quite central and enables us to reach our favourite places in no time at all. As I said, perfect for us and we will be returning soon.

Excellent, comfortable cottage with wonderful pool

We had a wonderful short break (2 nights) at Wagtail. The cottage was spotlessly clean and generally in a good state of repair. The location is very peaceful and tranquil with plenty to do within a 30 min radius. The pool was a fantastic feature; it's great to have allocated times so that we could enjoy it by ourselves, although we did also use it during the communal hours and that was no great hardship. Plus there's a decent games room which we used for a game of pool on our last evening. The cottages themselves are well equipped and come with an extremely comprehensive set of manuals and instructions for just about every aspect of the stay. It's clear the owners take great care and pride in running the business. A very minor niggle was that the curtains weren't very good at blocking out light in the early morning and would benefit from blackout blinds for the summer months.

Beautiful accomodation

The cottage was beautiful, the courtyard was perfect overlooking the larger communal garden for the children. The swimming pool really made the holiday with options for our own private swim on set days as well as open swim times every morning and evening. Thoughtful welcome pack and detailed manual for both the accommodation and surrounding area. Thank you so much. Will be back!

Very enjoyable

Enjoyed our long weekend stay which was booked at the last minute. Very helpful in explaining, cost & requirements for additional items requested. Just being a little picky but found quite a few flies on arrival & single beds a bit noisy with protectors. Overall a lovely place & lots to do in the surrounding area. Could have done with a bit longer! Thank you

Wagtail

We had a lovely second stay at Waigtail. The cottage is the perfect set up for my three young kids. They loved the big playing field, playroom and especially the indoor swimming pool. The location is perfect, within close distance to a number of great places to visit, including Holkam hall and Burnham market. The cottage itself is the perfect size, beds are very comfy and all very clean when we arrived. The staff were very attentive to any requests/needs I had. Would highly recommend. Thank you

A short winter getaway

Wagtail was outstanding, chosen because of pool, but lights were not on which made life a bit awkward for us early bird swimmers. Apart from that, it was all good. Didn't really want to leave

A lovely cottage and Pool

The location was great for our purposes being central to the people we were visiting. The pool was the cleanest we have ever used and we really enjoyed our early morning daily swims. The staff were very helpful when we asked for information. Our only criticism was there were cobwebs at high level generally and also low level in the bathroom. The beams in the lounge had a thick level of dust on them . There were a lot of duplicating emails prior to our stay.-too many .
