Hadleigh Farm Cottage Reviews

Excellent property very comfortable and in a nice setting
We enjoyed our stay very much. The property was very clean and comfortable and well equipped. Excellent location for exploring the surrounding areas. Thank you
We had a lovely time staying in this beautiful cottage. It is well equipped and comfortable. We liked the fact its so quiet and out of the way. Will definitely be looking into coming back.
Dorothy Ursula
I'm happy to recommend this cottage. It was wonderful and peaceful . exactly what we needed. Bathroom sink was the only thing I would change.
Beautiful cottage really comfortable. Had a wonderful week. Great quiet location ideal for visiting Norfolk.
The cottage was cosy though roomy enough for a family, wellequipped and comfortable. The location was peaceful and also very convenient for exploring King's Lynn, Sandringham and the north Norfolk coast. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Lovely cottage. Warm and comfortable. Nice peaceful location. Kitchen well equipped. Plenty of space for a family of 4.
Overall a good standard of accommodation. Good base for exploring the surrounding area. Hand basin in bathroom is not the most practical for washing.
Claire
We had a lovely stay at Hadleigh Farm Cottage and with a welcome gift of milk, tea & biscuits on arrival a very much appreciated nice little touch. The cottage was exactly as described with everything we needed. A suggestion would be to add hooks on the bathroom door for towels and possibly coat hooks but other than that we thought it was perfect. We would recommend and definitely stay here again if in the area.
Wonderful stay, lovely cottage, will be back when next in the area
Richard
We found the bed was too small. And the shower was not of high standard and was not easy to get the temperature right. Also we think older people would not find it easy getting in and out of shower.Another problem was that the toilet seat moved when you sat on it.One other thing the bed side table lamp did not work but it did not bother us that much.Solve these things and you will be 5 star standard.But overall we loved the cottage.
Amanda
Second time staying, always a nice peaceful stay in the countryside near Kings Lynn and Sandringham.
The cottage is in a lovely location, but cleanliness was severely lacking we did not use the oven as the shelves were dirty. I had to clean the fridge before using it. The bathroom needs some serious work, dirty grout and mould behind the taps. The sink is not fit for purpose.
Lovely, comfortable and well equipped cottage. Great location for exploring the area.
Our second stay at Hadleigh Farm Cottage. Good base for exploring the area. WiFi is somewhat patchy. Hand basin in the bathroom isn't very practical and could do with a mirror above the hand basin. Overall a comfortable well equipped property.
We found the basin in the bathroom very small and unsuitable for washing face or shaving. We needed a smaller saucepan and more jugs. The chairs outside were rather old and rusty in places. We had a pleasant stay.
Robert
Cottage lovely very relaxing good welcome pack . Excess items removed so easy to clean Covid safe. Kitchen all equipment you needed.A problem with the hot water system when we arrived was dealt with by Claire very quickly Not a big issue but a couple of hooks in Bathroom would be good nowhere to hang clothes . Thank you for a lovely stay
The cottage itself is of a very high standard very clean, well maintained and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with all manner of crockery and pans, etc and the bed is lovely and comfortable. The farm is surrounded by beautiful farmland and countryside there wasnt a day went by without us seeing deer and hares, and often a barn owl! Only a few niggles which would be very easy to put right some coat hooks to hang wet coats on and a boot tidy for muddy shoes & boots would be handy, as would hooks on the back of internal doors for dressing gowns, etc. Also the bathroom could do with another wall mirror so you are not having to stand over the toilet to see in the existing cabinet mirror! Having said this, none of these issues have stopped us staying twice in this cottage and we may well return for another visit. The surrounding area is lovely and peaceful, perfect for cycling and walking, but within easy reach of the north Norfolk coast. One for Sykes the description of Gayton on the holiday description is incorrect as the Gayton referred to is in Northamptonshire! This needs rectifying. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this lovely little cottage.
Lovely holiday and the cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The shower was quite wobbly and kept shooting out in the wrong direction but we worked out how to control it.
The cottage had everything you would need for your visit. From the beginning of gaining access, the cottage was clean and we were welcome with a pint of milk, tea, coffee and biscuits. Exactly what you need when you arrive. A highchair was supplied for our little one, and a travel cot was on hand in case we needed it. The kitchen had everything you could think of needing, a home form home. The garden was perfect for our little ones to run around with the knowledge that they were safe. Thank you for making our stay stress free and relaxing.
Just a small thing in the description of the cottage and area, you describe the nearby village of Gayton. The Gayton you describe is not in Norfolk it is near Milton Keynes in Northampton.! The Gayton near the cottage in Norfolk is very much smaller but does have a very nice pub, The Crown, for dinner & a good fish & chip shop!! We had a lovely comfortable week in this accommodation and would not hesitate in recommending it.
Elizabeth
We spent a lovely week in Norfolk based at Hadleigh Farm Cottage. It was beautifully furnished, clean and well maintained, had all the crockery and utensils you could possibly need. The WiFi was a little hit and miss at times, but this wasnt a problem for us. It was a good base for exploring north Norfolk, Ely, Kings Lynn and Cambridge. We spent a lovely day on Heacham beach, which was about the quietest beach along that coastline, everywhere else was surprisingly very busy! Although there was a little bit of activity as it is a working farm, we had many peaceful afternoons in the garden. Would highly recommend this cottage.
The cottage was well presented and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was in a peaceful location and ideal for what we wanted to do, we had a lovely relaxing time. We would highly recommend.
Vivien
The temperature of the water was not hot enough to wash the dishes and the shower went cool whilst showering. We presumed this might have been set low to prevent scalding, but it was a little too low. The shower head kept falling off the holder and hence the water shot everywhere before you could grab it! This is not a complaint, the cottage was absolutely fine, just thought I would draw their attention to this minor issue. We enjoyed our stay here, we were very comfortable. Would definitely book with Sykes cottages again.
Beautiful, quiet location,well appointed cottage. The only thing we missed was a clock in the lounge!

Attractions Near Hadleigh Farm Cottage

Please note that some of these activities and days out are paid and it's always a good idea to book in advance to secure your place where applicable.

Found a special day out near your cottage? Please let us know and we'll add it so that other visitors can enjoy it too!
Pensthorpe Nature Reserve & Gardens - NR21 0LN
about 16 Miles
if you and your family are interested in nature and wildlife then Pensthorpe Nature Reserve & Gardens is the perfect place for a day out. This beautiful area of national parkland is home to a huge range of common and rare birds from sparrows to Red Crowned Cranes and also has a red squirrel enclosure - part of a conservation programme and now home to a family of adorable squirrels. Other activities to enjoy at Pensthorpe include pond dipping and Landrover discovery tours. Pensthorpe also played host to BBC'S Springwatch in 2010.
Melsop Farm Park - NR20 3DT
about 20 Miles
We love this attraction in Scoulton, Norfolk with a great collection of animals.  Children and adults alike have the chance to get hands on with the animals in the special handling areas.  On rainy days there is always the indoor play area for the little ones and when it's time for a bite to eat the cafe on the farm is open all day selling drinks and snacks.  Hot food is available over lunch times.
Dinosaur Adventure Park - NR9 5JW
about 24 Miles
This fun family day out has been well planned and we think is certainly worth a visit.  New for 2010 is the PrimEvil at Dinosaur Adventure.  Other fun activities include the Dinosaur Trail, Arachnophobia, the Raptor Races and the adventure play area.  The secret animal garden is also popular.  You can play a role in wildlife conservation and sponsor an animal if you wish.  At the moment if you sign up for their newsletter there is a chance to win a family ticket.
Bishops Boats Seal Trips - NR23 1RY
about 24 Miles
This is a really unique attraction running daily seal watching trips from the middle of March right through to the end of October.  The experienced skippers will lead you out on one of the traditional wooden boats where you will have the chance to see both common and grey seals.  If you love animals then this is one attraction not to be missed! They also do some boat trips combined with guides on dry land such as seal watching combined with a visit to Blakeney Point Nature Reserve, owned by the National Trust.  We think this attraction is excellent value for money as they keep their admission prices low.
Natureland Seal Sanctuary - PE25 1DB
about 28 Miles
Awarded the Lincolnshire Family Attraction of the Year award in recent years this fun day out is recommended. You can see seals and penguins, as well as other animals in the popular pets corner.  Feeding time for the seals and penguins is the real highlight of the day. Entertainment, education and conservation are the main aims of this attraction. Natureland's work with abandoned baby seals has become known worldwide and it's carefully researched rearing and treatment program is now used by many other rescue centres.
Banham Zoo - NR16 2HE
about 29 Miles
This award winning wildlife attraction has much to offer both families and couples looking for a fun and educational day out.  You can discover a whole wild world of animals with over 1000 different animals from around the world. You will probably want to try and spend the whole day here so you don's miss out on anything.  Highlights include the amazing animals presentation, the birds of prey display and the feeding talks, all of which take place at set times of the day.  This attraction is fantastic value for money and highly recommended.  Their latest event is the Snow Leopard Club Naming Auction and there has recently been a baby giraffe born at the zoo.
Sheringham Park - NR26 8TL
about 29 Miles
The National Trust Sheringham Park in Norfolk was designed by Humphry Repton and the book of original designs can still be seen. The park has many attractions including a viewing tower and a gazebo with amazing coastal views, wildlife trails which young children will love and an exhibition barn where visitors can learn the history of the park.
