Picture book cottage
Just a two night break to visit the area and catch up with old friends. The annexe to the Old Chapel was delightful - clean and neat and comfortable and our hosts Tony & Aileen Kilbee were friendly and helpful. The cottage is full of paintings done by Aileen which were a lovely touch.

Nice stay for 2 nights
Overall it was a lovely place to stay for a couple of nights. The welcome gifts and essentials of bread and milk being in the property for you is just lovely. It was a little out of the village than I realised when first booked but was okay except the road noise from cars as road at front is quite busy thankfully at night much better. Only downside was the oven it really needs to be cleaned.

A real gem
Great host. Easy to feel nd and handy location for Norfolk and Suffolk. Apartment spotlessly clean, cosy and had everything 2 people need for a comfortable stay. Quiet location and very comfy bed meant we both slept better than we usually do when away.

Very comfortable stay
We arrived to a lovely welcome from Aileen. The cottage is very clean and contained everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kitchen is well equipped and lounge chairs are very comfortable. Bed ok and bathroom was very good with lots of hot water at good pressure. Tony was also an excellent host and we enjoyed sharing our interest of history with him. Definitely recommend this as a great place to stay

Lovely holiday home for couples
We were met by Tony and Aileen on arrival and shown around the property which was lovely and clean. They also left us a welcome pack and a few treats which were well received. The annexe itself is detached from the main property and there is a nice area for seating outside on the patio. The property was well equipped with very good quality cookware/towels/bedding etc to ensure we had a comfortable stay. They even provided shampoo, shower gel and handwash. The hosts are friendly and on hand if you need them but not at all intrusive. Overall, we had a really nice stay here and would definitely recommend it to other couples looking to stay in the area. Thanks Tony and Aileen and hope to see you again.

Delightful & relaxing stay
The property is clean, comfortable and well equipped. The hosts, Tony and Aileen, are readily available but non-intrusive. The perfect balance. There are added touches such as the welcome pack which add to the overall stay and make life that much easier. If anything they should be charging more!!

Compact home from home
Great communication from the hosts Tony & Aileen. Both were warm, welcoming & friendly. There was milk & bread provided to our specification on arrival, as well as a bottle of red & white wine and chocolate. A lovely surprise! Tony was there to greet us & show us round, explaining everything clearly. The property was spotlessly clean. Although quite small it was comfortable & large enough for the two of us. The bed was comfy & there was plenty of storage in the bedroom. There is plenty to see & do in the area for those that want to venture out. If not the cottage is cosy & there are plenty of books to read as well as a TV with firestick & WIFI for your devices. We will definitely stay again if in the area & wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay to others.

My Perfect Place.
The property was very well equipped with everything you need for a pleasant break away. It was very clean and well maintained, bright and colourful. With a nice comfy lounge, a very pleasant seating area to sit to eat in. The bed was comfy with lots of storage in the room plus the en suite/bathroom was large and well thought out too. In my opinion you would couldn’t find a more pleasant place to stay.
