Deer Cottage Reviews

Lovely cosy cottage, the owners are very friendly, very discreet and leave a lovely welcome basket

Teresa

Fantastic cottage in beautiful village setting! Would highly recommend as is a home from home and the owners have thought of everything and made our stay great! Definitely check out The Chequers pub just a short walk away as food amazing and a lovely friendly atmosphere!

A lovely cottage in a lovely Norfolk village. The owners' hospitality and welcome pack was second to none. Your every need will have been considered before your arrival. Really well equipped with lots of personal touches. We had a hot week and a very warm 'hot tub'. The Chequers Pub food excellent too.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful area. Easy access to local attractions. A short work to a village pub.

A really comfortable and clean property in a very tranquil setting, ideal for exploring the surrounding area, walks and not too far from the coast. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful with some really thoughtful touches added to the property. We had a really great stay at deer cottage and would definitely recommend.

Great accommodation and friendly hosts

Thank you so much Tina and Greg. Deer cottage is brilliant and in a great location. The basket of goodies was amazing and very welcoming. We visited Oxburgh Estate twice, Banham zoo. Then we had a go at the pingo trail, although everything was under water so a bit of a challenge. But once back at Deer cottage a relaxing soak in the hot tub whilst watching the young deer criss crossing the back field. Just brilliant Thank you

Daniel

We really enjoyed our stay at Deer Cottage. Tina and Greg were great hosts and gave us plenty of information about the local area, including the Pingo trail, nearby towns and villages and the local pub which served lovely food. A bonus for us, we even caught a sighting of a deer during our walk along the Pingo trail. The welcome pack was lovely, which included homemade fresh bread and cake. We really enjoyed the hot tub and took advantage of the log burner as the evenings got cooler. We have already decided that we will be rerurning in the future, as the cottage and the are is ideal for a short break away from reality.

A beautiful cottage in a lovely part of Norfolk, ideal for weekend or short breaks away. Everything we needed for our stay was provided along with the use of a wonderful hot tub. Great communication from Tina & Greg before our visit and they made us feel very welcome on arrival. A lovely welcome gift basket of goodies, home made cake and bread made our stay special, with a personal finishing touch. The local pub is a most should you choose to visit Deer Cottage.

Tina & Greg are fantastic hosts. The cottage was spotless, welcoming and the home made bread and cake to die for. The hot tub was fantastic. This is a great place to stay for a relaxing break. The local pub is friendly and fantastic food. We will be returning for another stay without a doubt.

Tina and Greg are amazing hosts. The welcome goodie pack, cake and home made bread was delicious. Tina and Greg made me feel very welcome even offering to escort me to the local pub if I wanted them to

Lovely, well equipped cottage, with everything you need and more. Tina and Greg are fantastic hosts and nothing is too much trouble. We had an issue with the door handle when we arrived and Greg fixed this immediately. The voltage is so clean, cosy and well maintained. They have thought of everything, with a very lovely welcome basket and some delicious home baked goodies as well. Good location for some lovely walks and also exploring some lovely parts of Norfolk.

Karina

Absolutely loved deer cottage,so quiet and relaxed. Tina and Greg left a beautiful hamper and even made a cake for that extra special touch. Will definitely be going back

Adedayo

We had a lovely country side break. Tina & Greg left us a wonderful welcome basket full of goodies.The hot tub was amazing. If you need to break away from hustling and bustling , then Deer Cottage is the place to chill out

Malcolm

Tina and Greg were very friendly and helpful. They left a basket full of goodies, cake freshly baked loaf plus a birthday card and banner. The kitchen was very well equipped. Deer Cottage is in a rural area but well positioned for exploring Norfolk with a supermarket and petrol station five minutes away.

A lovely property and a quiet location. The hosts go out their way to think of everything you might need to make your stay great. The welcome pack was above and beyond and gratefully received especially the cake!. The hot tub was a welcome blessing after days out. There are so many lovely walks around the area you could easily stay at the cottage all week. The friendly village pub is only a short walk away. A holiday we won't forget!

Lauren

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we was greeted by the owners and showed round, the cottage was very clean and tidy and well equipped. We honestly couldn't of asked for anything more and we plan on returning next year!

Tina and Greg were very welcoming. We were provided with a goodie hamper on arrival, along with a delicious home made rhubarb cake and a home made loaf. The cottage itself was excellent, peaceful, very clean, in good decorative order and incredibly well equipped. Tina had thought of everything from washing up liquid to bin bags to robes & slippers for the hot tub, there were loads of extra touches that really made the difference. The bed was only a double, but very good quality and therefore very comfortable. I enjoyed coffee in the garden with my book every morning which was wonderful. Deer Cottage was a perfect getaway for us, providing us with some well earned peace and quiet for a few days.

Peaceful,private location,numerous interesting villages to visit a short drive away, fabulous coastline to explore a little further, never short of something to do. Wonderful hosts who couldn't be more helpful and accommodating.

Caroline

What can I say, to say feeling like home was an understatement! Tina and Greg were such amazing hosts, we had home made bread, chocolate cake, local jam, butter, milk, chocolates, hot chocolate, and a bottle of bubbly to welcome us! There was ample of information about local walks, near and far, attractions in the area, food, attractions, and instructions on how to use everything. There were robs and slippers for the hot tub, but tub had a seating area and fairy lights. The accomodation was delightful, heating was on morning and night, and the fire was amazing, heat the room up very quickly. All supplies for fire provided. The double bed was very comfy although a little crampt for us but a comfy double bed none the less, and very fluffy, comfy pillows! Bathroom was great, powerful rainful shower, first aid kit, showergel and towels provided. All in all, we loved our stay here, and the hosts were amazing. Hot tub private, and no noise around. Would love to stay here with my mum one weekend! Thank you for a great holiday

Natalie

The cottage was perfect. Tina and Greg had thought of everything and they had included lots of little touches that made the whole experience just lovely.

Georgina

We have had the most amazing time! We originally booked this stay almost 2 years ago to have enjoyed last year but unfortunately Covid put a stop to it, however I must say Tina and Greg were amazing in being able to reaccommodate us for this year instead and we were made up by this. The holiday property is so much more than you can expect. The location is in a lovely country village but close enough to a shop as well within driving distance, with great surroundings to explore we were out every day, with so much to see and do! Tina and Greg put so many personal and meaningful touches around the place and it was a joy to stay in. The hot tub was an absolute bonus when getting back from a walk or day out. We were very lucky with the weather at this time of year but it didn't stop us doing anything we wanted to do and the property was so cosy and warm, perfect for colder nights. I would most definitely recommend this cottage, the owners are lovely in every way, very helpful and there whenever you need them. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we hope to return in the future!

Hosts were fantastic and ensured Deer Cottage was equipped with everything we needed and more. Great location. Well situated hot tub. All was excellent

Superbly appointed cottage in a very quiet location but just a short drive to all of Norfolk's attractions. Lovely welcome pack and everything provided for an enjoyable stay. Deer cottage was clean and comfortable and with a wood burner for chilly nights and hot tub to relax in ensured a most pleasant week.

Michael

Our hosts Tina and Greg were very helpful and the property was excellent. The welcome pack was extensive and the hot tub was well used by us each evening. The area was lovely and the local pub served excellent meals. Our 4 day break gave us time to see the area helped by advise from our hosts. We will hopefully return. Mick and Kath

Stefanie

Incredible. Enjoyed every second here. Attention to detail was second to none, friendly hosts, beautiful surroundings, excellent facilities. We will be returning!

Stuart

We really enjoyed our stay at Deer Cottage. The cottage is well equipped with everything you could want including a lovely hot tub. The hosts Tina and Greg are lovely and helpful people and the location is so peaceful and quiet to help you relax. Would definitely recommend a stay here and we plan to be back Stuart and Denise from Leeds

Super host, friendly and welcoming. Lovely hamper to welcome us. Clean property with everything you might need! It's the first place we have been with a pizza cutter

Melanie

We had a wonderful break here at Deer Cottage. Tina and Greg were wonderful hosts providing a mountain of extra treats including a home baked cake, toffees and many other bits. The hot tub was a lovely way to relax in the evening joined by a variety of birds and the baby deer I missed, but my husband had the pleasure.. The local pub an 8 min walk with friendly landlord and massive plates of food. Central to visit places of beauty in Norfolk and Suffolk. A must stay. Thank you

Deer cottage is very spacious and is furnished very nicely inside. The welcome basket was very useful after a long drive. The hosts Tina & Greg were very welcoming & informative. The hot tub of an evening was lovely to sit in & see the local deer come in the garden with you! The gardens could maybe do with a good pruning to open it up a bit, but apart from that it is a lovely place to stay.

I had a lovely relaxing week at Deer Cottage. Its a very well equipped cottage in a pretty village surrounded by beautiful countryside with lots of walks nearby. Highly recommended.

Andrew

Deer Cottage is the perfect place to relax, unwind and get away for some much needed peace and quiet. Tina and Greg are brilliant hosts, with a warm welcome, chatty and friendly, and they really think of everything you're going to need. We were greeted with freshly baked bread, cakes and a basket of goodies. Perfect. We normally holiday abroad, and this was the first time in a long time we've stayed in the UK. And we weren't disappointed. The cottage is so lovely, very clean and well equipped. Deer Cottage is perfectly placed for exploring Norfolk, from the coast, city and countryside. We're sure to visit again.

Maggie

Fabulous property and very welcoming by the hosts. Everything we needed and more and lovely welcome pack when we arrived.

Nicole

Everything was brilliant. The little extra were so thoughtful, there was nothing that wasn't thought of

Melsop Farm Park - NR20 3DT

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.

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.

Dinosaur Adventure Park - NR9 5JW

about 17 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.

Suffolk Owl Sanctuary - IP28 6HX

about 27 Miles

This amazing owl sanctuary located in the Stowmarket area of Suffolk should be high on your list of places to visit in the area. The attraction is also a registered charity and carries out important work in the care & rehabilitation of owls from the region. The sanctuary also raises awareness of owl conservation throughout the UK. Between April and the end of September there are two superb flying displays each day so you should try and make your visit coincide with one of these displays if you can.

Bewilderwood - NR12 8JW

about 28 Miles

Bewilderwood is a fun day out for the whole family located in the Wroxham area of Norfolk. This imaginative adventure park has won awards and we think kids especially will love the characters and the magical tree houses. You can even book your ticket online and beat the queues by visiting their website where you can also view video clips of the park. This place is also the setting for the book 'A Boggle at BeWILDerwood', by local children's author Tom Blofeld. Parents are not left out either as you're encouraged to take part and play alongside your children.

Bishops Boats Seal Trips - NR23 1RY

about 29 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.
