"We had a great week in your lovely cottage. The weather was fantastic. Great walks from Morston quay to Blakeney and surrounding areas. Will be back soon" Lynn and Graham from Macclesfield, April 2011

 

"We had a great stay in your lovely quirky cottage, the location in Wells was just perfect. I am sure we will come again" Leila from Leicestershire, April 2011

 

"It was cold, wet and windy.  BUT that did not spoil our stay or dampen our spirits.  There was still plenty to do - mainly involving shops, delis, galleries, pubs and restaurants - but when we weren't indulging ourselves outdoors we were more than happy to stay in Jolly Sailor Cottage with a warm fire, glass of wine and one of the games from the well-stocked toy cupboard!  Or we just watched TV  or read our books from the comfort of one of the many sofas." Lynn, John, Tim and Zoe from Norfolk, Mar 2011

 

"We have spent three lovely days here with great weather.  It's a wonderful house in exactly the right spot" Maureen and Phil from Leamington Spa, March 2011

 

"We're a bit obsessed with the room at the top of the spiral staircase! And we loved our room (the one down the stairs) it had lots of character. Oh, and one more thing, we are poor students and are jealous of the amazing kitchen. PS great location and we had so much fun crabbing" Ellie and Laura from Leeds, March 2011

 

"Fantastic house.  The children loved the room at the top of the spiral staircase.  Beach is great, flew kites and dug in the sand; great coffee & cakes at deli.  Fish & chips from French's superb.  Great holiday.  Thanks" Mrs Green, Feb 2011

 

"Everything and more you'd want in a holiday home. What a wonderful time we had and the little touches were so thoughtful. I think we'll be back every year, thank you so much." Simon from Norwich, Jan 2011

 

"It was perfect. Absolutely perfect - I think we may be back every year!" - Rob from Cromer, Jan 2011
