Little Norwood Reviews

Katrina
This is the 2nd Christmas that we have stayed as we have family around the area and it was as wonderful this time as last. The house is always beautifully decorated and maintained. The log burner and hot tub are some of our favourite things to enjoy when we are there. We look forward to hopefully staying again in the future.
Ann
Beautifully clean, well equipped cottage. Out in the peaceful countryside but not too far from the beach, shops and pub!! We look forward to returning before too long!
Chris
Lovely little, converted ancient barn, beautifully done to a high standard. Hot tub and little outdoor seating area. Need a car, almost in the middle of nowhere, very peaceful. This is a little home from home, it doesn't feel like a holiday let at all with very nice, comfortable seating and a well-equipped kitchen. Lovely bathroom upstairs and the Read moredownstairs loo is very handy. We'd love to go again. Hide
Craig
Absolutely loved our stay, cottage is beautiful and so clean and welcoming. The log fire is lovely to put on and watch at night after a day at the beach or after being in the hot tub. In the morning its so peaceful to enjoy a coffee on the decking. The cottage is very well equipped and is a perfect home from home. Nikki and Emma were so lovely and helpful. We will definitely be back x

Sally
This holiday cottage was absolutely gorgeous and perfect. Everything was extremely high spec and we had a wonderful holiday.
Andy
The cottage is in a very rural location but we loved that, you just need to allow a little more time for your journey to the main roads. We will definitely recommend this cottage to others. Possibly could do with a blind or curtain on the door for a little more privacy. The cottage was immaculate, cozy and a real home from home. We would love to re turn one day as we didnt want to go home! Thank you Nikki and Emma for a lovely holiday.
Liam
We had a lovely week here. The cottage has been beautifully renovated to a high standard and is modern but with plenty of character. It's in a lovely rural location, but only just over 5 minutes of single lane driving. The owners directions were spot on, and they were also very helpful when we asked for a change to the heating timer. Particularly g reat was the: - kitchen appliances - shower - hot water supply - WiFi - Logburner - Hot Tub - general cleanliness We would definitely stay again!
