“Nice warm cottage.”
Very helpful ownerr. Excellent position on a tiny lane in a small town. Town has Indian and Chinese restaurants and supermarket, bakers butchers etc. Neighbours were very pleasant and helpful. Welcome chocolates, wine and doggy treats were appreciated. We had to change the superwarm duvet to a lighter one but that is only a matter of choice.

- V, March 2025Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Ted's Place. We apologise that the duvet was too warm for you. We are still experiencing chilly nights, so I haven't switched to a lighter-weight duvet yet. However, please don't hesitate to contact the owner if you encounter any issues like this in the future. Best wishes, Sarah x Property Owner

Jenny “We had a wonderful stay at Ted's Place.”
There was a fantastic array of treats left for us when we arrived which certainly made us feel welcome. The communication from the owner was excellent and the house has everything you need. Ted's Place was a fantastic base for exploring coast, country and city and we had a wonderful week. The cottage is right in the village, which beautiful with nice coffee shops, restaurants, food shops and a lovely church. We will definitely be visiting again.
- Jenny, February 2025Thank you for your positive feedback. It was a pleasure having you stay at Ted’s Place, and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Best wishes, Sarah. Property Owner

Antoinette “Lovely cosy cottage in the village, as stated there is no parking and we decided not to drive down the street as its very tight, but there is plenty of parking on the main road within a 10 min walk.”
The initial access is through several back gates with Beware of the dog signs ! and we set a few off, but there are keys for the front door which we used during our stay to avoid this. Didn't use the garden but I'm sure its a lovely spot in the summer months. Cosy beds and plenty of hot water and heating which you need in winter. Would defo return to this property.
- Antoinette, December 2024Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you had an enjoyable stay at Ted’s Place, and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Best wishes, Sarah. X Property Owner

Lynn “Lovely comfy warm property but.”
.. Neighbours really unfriendly - one didn't like us stopping outside Ted's place to unload (road too narrow outside property) and the other unhelpful when we asked about recycling, just concerned about us closing the gate. Communal access to back door and garden of Ted's place accessed re shared path. We didn't use the back garden or back access as didn't want to upset neighbour. Once inside very comfortable and lots of treats - biscuits, flowers etc. Second bedroom very tight and gas boiler in cupboard. Very high step to front door and considering issues with neighbour, back access not desirable! Had to park up lane or adjoining road.
- Lynn, November 2024Dear Lynn, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with me. I sincerely apologise for the challenge you faced while accessing the property and for the neighbor's unhelpful behavior. In my welcome email and text, I encourage guests to reach out to me directly at the time if any issues arise, so I can address them promptly. I regret that I did not hear from you during your stay, as this makes it difficult for me to assist you effectively after your stay. I truly value your feedback on this platform and will work to address the issues that are within my control. As we approach the holiday season, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Best regards, Sarah Property Owner

Tessa “Cottage in a great location, minutes walk to shops, pubs etc.”
Neighbours not so friendly. Very nosey, peeping over garden fence within minutes of us arriving. Very rude and abrupt to my lovely elderly Dad as he was coming through the gate ‘reminding’ him to shut said gate, no need. It was a bonus when couple of days into are holiday the neighbours actually went on holiday themselves, hurrah! If I had to see them looking directly into are living room and kitchen window one more time with there sour expressions I would have had to ‘have words’ Neighbours the other side were lovely.
- Tessa, September 2024Dear Teresa Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I regret to learn about your recent experience. I consistently encourage guests to promptly communicate any concerns/issues during their stay to allow for immediate resolution. Regrettably, I was unaware of the issue at the time, thus unable to address it promptly. In the nine years of managing Ted's Place, this is an unprecedented occurrence. Rest assured, I am taking proactive measures to prevent its recurrence. Please accept my sincere apologies. Best regards, Sarah Property Owner

Lisa “Ted’s cottage is a lovely place and I would definitely recommend staying there.”
The cottage is cozy and comfortable with everything you need including children’s toys to the delight of my grandson. We found it central to all the places we wanted to visit and when back at the house the cottage garden was a lovely place to sit and relax from the day. The owners left us a welcome pack which was very kind and we definitely will book here again.
- Lisa, August 2024Thank you for the fantastic feedback! I'm thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful stay. We can't wait to have you back at Ted's Place. Warm wishes, Sarah Property Owner

Ketrena “This wonderful little cottage was a joy to stay.”
Perfect for all needs and nothing was far away to walk or drive to. Can’t wait to visit again !
- Ketrena, July 2024Ah, it was a pleasure to have you stay! Thank you for your feedback and we look forward to welcoming you at Ted’s Place again. Sarah x Property Owner

Alison “Ted’s Place is a really lovely cosy mid terraced cottage with fab attention to detail.”
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Aylsham is well placed for a couple of great cycling trails.
- Alison, March 2024Thank you for the feedback. So pleased you enjoyed your stay at Ted's Place. Best wishes, Sarah Property Owner
-
Tracy “Lovely property in a good location just a couple of minutes walk to the towns high street.”
Parking wasn’t available on the lane but there is plenty of opportunities to park on streets very close by and we were able to both unload and load outside the property with no issues. A lovely welcome pack of goodies was provided which was a lovely touch. Central location just a 25 min drive in different directions takes you to Holt, Wroxham or the coast.
- Tracy, March 2024So pleased you enjoyed your stay at Ted's Place, thank you for the great feedback. Sarah x Property Owner

Keith “An excellent property all round - then you have the little treats that push it into the exceptional bracket!”

Aylsham itself is a nice town with plenty of amenities

Gillian “We stayed here in November and the cottage did not disappoint.”
Lovely cosy cottage, bedrooms were all comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped which is important to us as we love to cook on holiday. The host was very welcoming and the welcome gifts she left were very much appreciated. Can't reccomend this cottage enough. We were a party of 5 adults and a dog and the cottage was incredibly good value for what it provides.
- Gillian, November 2023It was wonderful to welcome you all to Ted’s Place and thank you for taking the time to leave me your kind feedback - so appreciated. May I take this opportunity to wish you a very Happy New Year. Sarah x Property Owner

Adrian “Teds Place felt immediately welcoming.”
Our Grandson was very at home and settled in really well. (Lots of toys and books too) We had a lovely welcome package too - bubbly, crisps, biscuits, milk - very generous and much appreciated The location is great and we walked into town and took a trip to Blickling. There really is so much to do in the area. Although you can't park immediately close to the property you can park nearby and we had not issues with this.
- Adrian, October 2023Thank you very much for your feedback - I’m delighted to hear you all had a wonderful time! Best wishes, Sarah Property Owner
-
Wendy “Lovely and homely.”
Really enjoyed our stay. Everyone was very friendly in Aylsham. Lots to see roundabout. Some lovely dog walks. Would definitely go back. In fact we could quite happily live there .
- Wendy, October 2023I'm so pleased you all had a great week at Ted’s Place. Thank you for staying and we look forward to hopefully welcoming you back again. Best wishes, Sarah Property Owner
-
Robert “The property was ideally situated and very clean but unfortunately the house is quite dark and dingy and very tired.”
The garden situation is bizarre as you have to sit next to the neighbours kitchen she was lovely but we felt like we were intruding on their property. We would definitely go back to Aylsham but we would not stop here again, sorry Sarah you reviews are normally good it just wasn’t for us.
- Robert, August 2023Dear Robert, Thank you for taking the time to leave me a review and for your constructive comments on aspects of the cottage. My utmost priority is to provide my guests with a happy stay at Ted's Place and I am saddened on this occasion to read that I haven't been able to achieve this for you. I value and appreciate all my customers comments and I will endeavour to address the areas that are within my control and make improvements where possible. Once again, thank you for staying with us and for the feedback. Best wishes, Sarah N.B Potential/ future guests please note that garden furniture has always been provided at the end of the garden which is private and away from the vicinity of the neighbours. I have also taken steps to provide additional lighting in the sitting room Property Owner

Lucy “We really enjoyed our stay overall.”
A couple of things would have made it better: the single room smelt pretty musty even though we were staying after a long hot spell. The mattress in the single room wasn’t very comfy. We had 5 people staying and could have done with toilet being separate from bathroom or another toilet downstairs.
- Lucy, August 2023Dear Lucy, Thank you for staying at Ted's Place and for taking the time to leave me your feedback. It is always hugely valuable to receive constructive comments, especially during peak periods and where possible I have addressed your points that are within my control. Best wishes, Sarah Property Owner
-
Martin “Great base, very homely, very clean and well equipped, plus lovely and friendly neighbours, all helped to making feeling welcome at the property.”
- Martin, June 2023Dear Martin, Thank you so much for the lovely feedback on Ted's Place. I really appreciate you taking the time to write and I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay. I hope to welcome you again to the property sometime in the future. Best wishes, Sarah Property Owner

Shelley “Ted's Place is one of the best places we have stayed in.”
It was clean and comfortable and also had a lovely garden to relax in. We had a super holiday.
- Shelley, June 2023 -
Heidi “We had a lovely stay in Ted's Place.”
Sarah our host was very helpful and left us some lovely chocolates and prosecco which was a nice touch. The house was very clean and there were fresh cut daffodils in the kitchen and lounge. It really was a home away from home and has everything you need in the house. Our dog loved the garden and was perfect. The next door neighbor, also called Sarah, is very friendly and helpful in recommending local places to see and eat. This would be a nice place to visit in the summer and enjoy the garden. If visiting Norfolk for the first time I recommend visiting Horsey beach to see the seals, highlight of our holiday! Thanks Sarah for being a great host!
- Heidi, March 2023 -
Robert “A very comfortable stay , the house is lovely and has everything for a week away , will certainly book again”
- Robert, January 2023 -
Margaret “Ted's place is a well equipped comfortable cottage within walking distance of the centre of Aylesham.”
Because of the narrow street, parking outside is only allowed for off loading but the street widens further down and parking there is not a problem. Every need is catered for at Ted's place with games for children and dog bowls for your dog. The goodies provided by Sarah on arrival were lovely and contact with her not a problem. Comfortable beds, lots of hot water and fluffy towels. Thank you Sarah, we will definitely be booking Ted's place again
- Margaret, January 2023 -
Paul “We enjoyed our weekend at Ted's place everything was perfect, thank you the gifts were a lovely touch although unfortunately we lost our dog in April so left her treats for another pooch to enjoy, our grandson loved celebrating his 1st birthday at Ted's place which we chose as his name is Edward as did I, He summed the cottage up in his own as pretty !”
- Paul, December 2022 -
Robert “A lovely place to stay, the town is a gem too!”
Nice welcome pack provided. Great facilities. We would happily return to Ted’s Place. Parking - you need park down the lane a bit, as it’s not very wide next to the house, however there is very little traffic down the lane.
- Robert, November 2022 -
Garry “Cottage and owner lovely but impossible to communicate with Sykes when trying to amend something.”
I had to contact owner direct instead.
- Garry, November 2022 -
Carolyn “A lovely cosy cottage in a great location.”
The welcome goodies were also much appreciated!
- Carolyn, October 2022 -
Susan “This was our second visit to Ted's Place which is ideally situated in Aylsham and is highly recommended.”
Parking was no problem, the dog loved the garden, neighbours very friendly and the cottage exceptionally well equipped and comfortable and we are looking at dates for next year. Many thanks Sarah for the delicious welcoming goodies and your hard work.
- Susan, September 2022 -
John “Living in a detached house in a small village near York, it was something of a gamble to rent this terraced house in the middle of a town.”
On the first night, we ordered an Indian takeaway, walked in the wrong direction down Town Lane and got lost for a whole hour. When we finally collected our meal and found Ted's Place we thought we had locked myself out and Sarah's husband had to let us in. This is a lovely property, which had everything we could have dreamed of and we ultimately enjoyed a fantastic week. The neighbours (we are very detached from them at home), got up early and woke us up. Their dogs barked and made my dog bark. People walked past the windows, front and back. They were however really nice, friendly people, as were all of the other people we met in Aylsham. Bottom line is, we enjoyed ourselves so much that we want to come back next year, if you will have us. P.S. Thank you for all the goodies you left for us.
- John, September 2022 -
Diane “COMFY COTTAGE, WELL EQUIPED, GOOD LOCATION”
- Diane, August 2022 -
Holly “We absolutely loved this cottage!”
It’s a small place but had everything you could possibly need or want. We were pleasantly surprised that the owner left a selection of goodies as well as milk and wine in the fridge! The garden was just lovely, the street was quiet and the whole place had a lovely atmosphere. The house was very clean and the beds were comfy. The town has plenty of places to eat and shop, the bakery had particularly delicious cakes. We were able to park very close by so it wasn’t an issue for us. We would come back in a heartbeat, this was one of the best cottages we’ve ever stayed at.
- Holly, August 2022 -
Kerry “Fans would be most welcome for the hot weather as the bedrooms were very warm at night.”
I would add more pictures of how the garden is attached to the property as it was much better than I imagined and not an issue at all (others may not realise this from the description and I wouldn’t want people to be put off by this). Lovely neighbours especially Sarah. Please say thank you to her for her kindness. Lovely little break though. Aylsham was a lovely village. I wish we could have stayed a bit longer.
- Kerry, July 2022 -
Clinton “Absolutely wonderful, clean and every effort to make us feel at home.”
The owners have it so right. A wonderful garden and give so much I. Prompts. It is not always about sales and promoting. The neighbours to the property were awesome. I actually thanked them for having us. So much to do and everything is here. Curry, Chinese, black boys pub, but so much to do with the grumpy. Teenagers. Thank you for a wonderful week. Amy’s am is so beautiful. Thank you to Aylsham and our hosts. Top notch. X
- Clinton, July 2022 -
Christopher “This is a lovely, comfortable place to stay.”
Excellent service and communication from the owner. Aylsham is a pretty, friendly town with plenty of shopping, eating and drinking options within walking distance. Cromer, Norwich, Holt and the Broads are all easily accessible too. Would wholeheartedly recommend.
- Christopher, July 2022 -
Julie “Ted’s Place is a lovely cottage, everything you need, spotlessly clean.”
Loved the treats, special touch. Our pooch enjoyed the enclosed garden. Friendly neighbours. Town centre close by, enjoyed our walks and visits to other areas. Highly recommend this relaxing cottage. One of the best ones we have stayed in.
- Julie, May 2022 -
Samantha “The cottage was really lovely and well equipped.”
The garden was pretty and very useful. We had a great stay as so-local to the town. Would thoroughly recommend the property.
- Samantha, April 2022 -
Gary “Lovely cottage in a nice area.”
Very clean and comfortable
- Gary, April 2022 -
Arthur “Ted's place is a lovely comfortable house.”
Spotlessly clean which means you can relax and start your holiday. Thank you for the unexpected treats a lovely touch. No parking space but plenty of free nearby parking. We would return again. Aylsham is a pretty market town the location was great for exploring Norfolk. We went on a nostalgic trip by steam train on Norfolk’s longest narrow gauge railway which runs from Aylsham and Wroxham. Stunning scenery 18mile round trip. Spent a few hours in Wroxham lots of eating places. Sat with a glass of wine by the broads watching the boats. Beautiful weather and a much needed break. Thank you for a lovely stay. Diane & Arthur.
- Arthur, March 2022 -
Jane “We had a very comfortable stay at Ted's Place.”
We loved Town Lane and Aylsham is a friendly attractive little town, a perfect spot for a holiday in Norfolk especially as the bus services are so amazing it was great to not have to use the car for some of our trips.
- Jane, February 2022 -
Brian “Superb provision - Everything is in place to make the holiday very comfortable and Sarah’s support is timely and effective.”
- Only issue is the inability to park safely close to the house in a narrow Lane. However, is parking available in the square. This concern would not stop us returning to Ted’s place.
- Brian, February 2022 -
Tony “A fantastic stay in a lively house.”
...could have moved in! Great communication from Sarah and saved me from a lot of hassle when I left my bank cards!
- Tony, January 2022 -
Natalie “This was our second visit to Teds Place & it was just as wonderful as we remembered, cosy cottage with everything you could possibly need, a real home from home.”
Walking distance from some lovely pubs & only a short drive to Cromer, I would highly recommend this cottage to anybody looking for a peaceful break away & the owner could not have been more welcoming & helpful, we will definitely be back!
- Natalie, January 2022 -
Lee “Ted's place is an excellent property, very comfortable and handy for exploring the North East part of Norfolk.”
The area is so quiet and the local folk very friendly. The house was extremely well equipped and even had Christmas decorations (we stayed over the New Year period). Aylsham is a lovely town, although it could benefit from a couple more restaurants and pubs. The Black Boys is excellent though, with very attentive staff and excellent food. Would recommend a trip on the Bure Valley Railway - especially with young folk! Walking in the area is good and the town has many fine old buildings and character.
- Lee, December 2021 -
Christina “We had a wonderful stay at Ted's Place over Christmas.”
Sarah had made the house feel welcoming and festive, complete with a Christmas tree - a real home from home. High standards and very tasteful. The kitchen is extremely well equipped - what a treat to be able to make a proper cup of tea immediately upon arrival! - the cosy sitting room is a lovely space to relax and play games, the beds/bedding very comfortable, lovely spacious bathroom. Fabulous.
- Christina, December 2021 -
Susan “A very comfortable and cosily furnished cottage equipped to a very high standard situated in a convenient part of this lovely market town.”
I was a winter visitor but the garden will be delightful in the warmer weather and splendid for a canine companion. Sara the owner is very kind and helpful and left the most splendid welcoming gift - the best I have ever received. Many thanks Give Ted a hug. Susan Hunt
- Susan, November 2021 -
Mary “A fantastic cottage with everything you could need.”
Good quality beds and bedding, towels etc. Close to shops, pubs, tearooms. A lovely area to walk around and as a base for exploring Norfolk. Mary
- Mary, October 2021 -
Julie “Beautiful and well maintained house, in a good location to walk to the town with a variety of shops and food at the Black Boys Pub excellent.”
Nice touches from Sarah our host were the biscuits, milk, chocs and prosecco waiting for us.
- Julie, September 2021 -
Trish “The cottage had everything we needed, was immaculately clean and the welcome treats were a lovely touch.”
We would definitely recommend Ted’s Place!
- Trish, August 2021 -
Sally “Ted's Place is a very pleasant cottage in peaceful surroundings.”
Very clean and homely, though we found that the lounge was quite dark, which meant that we needed to have the lights on if we wanted to read. Nice spacious kitchen/dining area with good facilities. Bedding and towels were very good quality. Bathroom lovely, spacious, beautiful bath, excellent shower. Only a short walk to the centre of town, with its excellent range of independent shops and two well stocked supermarkets. Would highly recommend the farmers markets for fish, cheeses, meat and breads. Short drive to beautiful Blickling Hall. Would recommend a trip on the Bure Valley steam train. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage very much.
- Sally, August 2021 -
Colin “A very comfortable and homely cottage which was exceptionally well equipped and cleaned to a high standard.”
It was a lovely base to explore the surrounding countryside and well located for beach visits and walks. Beautiful garden which unfortunately we didn't use much due to unsettled weather during our stay. Sarah, the property owner was easily contactable,very friendly and promptly responded to our messages. Would thoroughly recommend this property. However care needed when parking on the narrow street outside property to avoid prominent doorsteps. Better to park in next road.
- Colin, May 2021 -
Caroline “Very comfortable and welcoming.”
Good location to explore North Norfolk. We will return.
- Caroline, April 2021 -
Bernie “Great holiday home.”
Owner was helpful and willing to sort any problems although we did not have any.
- Bernie, April 2021 -
Stephen “Lovely cottage in a great location, friendly and helpful owner and has all the amenities you'll need.”
Only thing to be aware of is that parking is limited in Town Lane and this property in common with most in this lane, doesn't have off-road parking. That said we found a space on the road every day!
- Stephen, October 2020 -
Ian “Ted's Place is a very pleasant house and within a short walk of all the facilities of Aylsham.”
The owner has made every effort to ensure that the house is sanitised against the dreaded Covid-19 and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a staycation during the pandemic.
- Ian, September 2020 -
Steven “We had a fantastic stay at Ted’s Place.”
The hosts were so welcoming and it really felt like they went above and beyond. The welcome Prosecco was a lovely touch and the communication from the hosts over text was great throughout. The cottage itself is really lovely- lots of character with the beams and a lovely bright kitchen with dining table. The sitting room at the front of the house is quite dark during the day but this didn’t bother us as we were out and about, and once the lights were on in the evening it was really cosy. Bathroom is big with a bath and separate shower cubicle that has strong pressure. Overall it was a great base to explore Norfolk and would definitely recommend
- Steven, September 2020 -
Janice “Stayed here for 1 week 31st July 2020.”
The cottage is well managed with everything you could need in a home from home, and was immaculately clean and Sarah is managing the covid situation very effectively. The cottage is spacious and decorated to a high standard. The facilities are excellent. The cottage is set down a very quiet one way street, which means you hardly ever hear any traffic as it is not a through route. Parking can be easily found either in the culdesac at the end of the road or at the top of the street, and it's only a walk of 1-2 minutes to the cottage, but you can easily pull up to unload at load on arrival/departure. The garden is mature and a great space to enjoy. The neighbors are really friendly and happily recommended beaches to visit. Aylsham is a fantastic place to stay to relax and unwind whilst still being within easy access of local stores and pubs. The Black Boys Hotel offers fab pub grub and worth a visit, as is the clothing store Amika. Aylsham is 20 minutes drive from Cromer, Sheringham and Mundesley beaches which are all worth a visit. The North Norfolk Steam train line is a great day out and managing the covid situation by allocating cabins to just your party, which worked really well. We are happy to highly recommend Ted's Place and Aylsham and we would definitely stay here again.
- Janice, July 2020 -
Gail “We had a wonderful week in Ted's place and we could see lots of thought had gone in to the cottage to make it a home from home.”
Lots of lovely little finisfing touches around the cottage and a fantastically well equipped kitchen that had ecerything you could possibly need to make your stay relaxing! We didn'y find the stripey sofa very comfy and the parking was a problem in as much as we have a big 4x4, but neither of those things would put me off staying tn Ted's place again, we had a wonderful week, Thankyou
- Gail, July 2020 -
David “Really lovely place, very homely, and in a wonderful old town with great walk around.”
- David, March 2020 -
Rich “The cottage was wonderful.”
A cosy home from home. We didn’t want to leave. Exactly what we were looking for in a relaxing, restful break.
- Rich, February 2020 -
Beverley “All was good, parking was difficult but we were told to expect that.”
Garden wasn't attached to property which was not ideal but also we knew that. We thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous cottage interior .Thankyou.
- Beverley, September 2019 -
Jennet “We had a fantastic week at Ted's Place in Aylsham - a very comfortable stay for 5 of us (me, my wife, our 6yo son and my wife's parents).”
The house is a real home-from-home and has everything you need for a self-catering break, including a large garden where we sat and relaxed on the first evening after a 4-hour journey from London in bank holiday traffic (and enjoyed the complimentary bottle of wine that was waiting for us in the fridge!) The only minor niggles, which have already been mentioned by other guests, are the parking and access to the property. The house is located down a narrow one-way lane (blink and you'll miss it when coming into Aylsham for the first time - even if you've researched it on Google streetview beforehand) and parking outside/near the house is first-come, first-served, but if you don't get parked right outside you can usually find somewhere within a minute's walk. However, this was to be expected for the location and was communicated to us by Sarah ahead of time. As other reviewers have mentioned, the house is in an ideal location for exploring Norfolk. We visited Cromer a couple of times, which only took about 15 minutes to get to in the car. The Bure Valley railway that goes to Wroxham (for boat trips on the Broads) is a short walk through the town and we also visited Bewilderwood (again, about 15mins by car) which is a fantastic day out for little ones. Aylsham itself has plenty of cake shops and bakeries and we ate dinner in the Black Boys hotel/pub a couple of times, which was excellent (and the hearty breakfast we had there on our last morning set us all up for the journey home). When we return to Norfolk for another family holiday in the near future we will definitely use Ted's Place again.
- Jennet, August 2019 -
Luke “What a fantastic property.”
Our every need was catered for - not only was the cottage well stocked with essentials, but the quality of all appliances, furnishings and supplies was top notch. The garden was particularly tranquil and the kids loved it, as well as the great selection of toys, games and books. The location was close to the village shops but also very quiet, and although there was no parking directly outside the property, we were able to pull up outside to load/unload and park a minute's walk away. We really enjoyed our week's holiday and were fortunate that the weather allowed us to visit the amazing beaches at Wells, Cromer and Brancaster - just remember to check tide times!
- Luke, August 2019 -
Clare “Outstanding Cottage - had everything we needed - the neighbours are lovely as well”
- Clare, June 2019 -
Nancy “Lovely cottage in Aylsham, which is a busy little market town north of Norwich.”
The cottage had everything we needed to self-cater but there were a variety of other eating options. Nice church. Three supermarkets. The weather was dreadful but we kept busy. Sarah kept in touch by message and was very helpful. Slight problems parking a couple of times. Would recommend.
- Nancy, June 2019 -
Schani “Beautiful home and garden.”
Really made for a lovely trip away home from home experience.
- Schani, May 2019 -
Sharon “Had a lovely weekend at Teds Place, very nice comfy cottage which is well equipped to meet all your needs.”
Milk in the fridge so a cup of coffee available on arrival and a bottle of wine for later. Would recommend Teds Place
- Sharon, March 2019 -
John “This was a very nice cottage well situated in the village with easy access to local shops and bars, only negative is that luckily enough we did not take a car but if you did the lane is very tight and i would not like to leave my car in the lane it would be tight for another vehicle to get past, but apart from that every thing else was lovely and exactly what the doctor ordered for a relaxing week away.”
- John, March 2019 -
Mark “What a lovely place Ted's is.”
So much more than is shown in the pictures on the listing. Such a comfortable place, we loved it and will be back again next year.
- Mark, March 2019 -
Rosemary “Lovely, clean and well-equipped accommodation.”
We enjoyed a comfortable stay at a very cold time of the year (mid-January). Also, the cottage is extremely well located within easy walking distance of local shops and pub.
- Rosemary, January 2019 -
Richard “Ted place was really nice and comfortable and fitted my & my girlfriend needs with our dogs.”
All there was lots of shop 3 min walk away and short drive to Tesco and beach was 20 min drive away.
- Richard, December 2018 -
Lisa “We really enjoyed Ted's Place!”
!! It was a great base to explore all of the Norfolk area. We loved the comfort and warmth of the house; it truly felt like a home away from home!!! Thanks so much for providing our children with stairgates, a high chair and a cot!!! It made us feel more relaxed that we could be sure our kids were safe and comfortable. Our three year old loved the toys, puzzles, dvds and books suited for him. Thanks again for a great vacation!!! I'd highly recommend Ted's Place to any family and I think we'll be back!!!

Elizabeth “The house was in a great part of the town within easy walking distance of the town centre.”
Town Lane is very narrow so apart from unloading the car when we arrived, and loading it up when we left, we didn’t park in the lane. There was a welcoming bottle of prosecco on our arrival, which was a lovely surprise. We had a great stay, did loads of walking and got to know the town better as a result.

Zowie “Beautiful cottage,homely,clean and cosy!”
Only slight criticism,the garden has a quirky layout and is not directly behind the property.Although it does state this in the description it is something we overlooked.Would still recommend though,gorgeous place!

Kathie “We had a lovely time at Ted’s place.”
The cottage was comfortable, clean and fully equipped with everything we could need. When we realised that something was missing, we contacted Sarah and within half an hour her husband came with the deckchairs we required so we could relax in the garden. I would recommend Ted’s Place and this part of Norfolk for a holiday.

David “Ted's place was just what we wanted peace and quiet the the lane was a bit tight but we managed and the village was very easy to get to a 5 minutes walk ,and the people were so friendly and shops were enough for food shopping Ted's Place had all you need in the house and the garden was a very nice place to rest and for a family with children very Safe to play .”

Stan “Lovely cottage situated on a quiet lane in Aylsham.”
Comfortable bed with lovely bed linen. Have not slept so well in a long time. Will definitely use again. Loved exploring the Norfolk coastal villages and towns. As Pa Larken would sat, "perfec".

Julie “This is a delightful cottage and we really enjoyed our stay.”
The owner had been staying there during the week previous to our visit and Ted's Place definitely has the feeling of being cherished as somebody's home. The neighbours were friendly and helpful too. The step up from the road to the front door was quite a stride but this wasn't a problem as we used the back door instead which was on the level. I would suggest that visitors bring a torch as the small alley to the back door was very dark at night. Also, if you have parked the car down the lane you will see better as you walk back to the property with the aid of a good torch. Those pitch black night skies in Norfolk are a revelation for stargazers! Aylsham is a super town and well situated for visiting all that North Norfolk has to offer.

Edward “This was a beautiful property, the owners have made it feel like a home from home experience, the whole cottage has every thing you need even down to bath toys which for my kids was much appreciated!”
the garden is lovely, We used this mainly as a base to fit a lot of sight seeing in which there is a lot available near by, Aylsham is a lovely market town easy to find your way around and very friendly locals, its central for driving to beaches , the broads and towns such as Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Over all we have had a wonderful holiday, Teds Place is brilliant and Norfolk is a gem, we can not wait to return for more adventure :)

Gillian “The property was absolutely beautiful in a lovely location.”
Everything we needed was provided from kitchen equipment to board games and books. The garden was quiet and very pretty. I did not want to go home and hope to visit the property again.
- Gillian, July 2015 -
Kylie “We had the most wonderful time at Ted's Place.”
The owners have created a homely, relaxing and most luxurious setting which we all enjoyed immensely. The master bedroom felt like staying in a Parisian boutique hotel. Our three boys all enjoyed the garden, DVD collection and our youngest loved playing with Ted's toys. The owner has thought of everything to ensure your stay at Ted's Place is a pleasurable experience. Including super sightseeing ideas to the well equipped kitchen and pantry. We came home energised.
- Kylie, February 2015 -
Carole “The location of the property, within walking distance of the town square, yet on a quiet road, is perfect.”
The overall ambience of the cottage is lovely, the personal touches left by the owner very much appreciated and the standard of decoration and furnishings excellent.

Stuart “Impossible to fault, we wanted for nothing at Ted's Place.”
Ted's Place is local to all the main attractions of Norfolk, one hour in any direction were the Broads, Norwich, great Yarmouth and Cromer. The local bus service is very good, if you are a metro bus pass holder you can go by bus anywhere in Nolfolk. Overall not one complaint thank you.
- Stuart, July 2014 -
Karen “The cottage was perfect with everything you needed to make the stay comfortable.”
Aylsham is a lovely little town, made all the better by the friendliness of all the people we met there. We did not take a car but still found getting around to see the area very easy by using the buses. The owner very kindly organised bus times for us which proved invaluable.
- Karen, May 2014 -
Verity “A top notch property - homely, extremely well furnished and well thought out.”
A bottle of wine and milk awaiting us in the fridge as well as a few essentials, most welcome. Almost like borrowing a friends house for the weekend! We'd love to return and would recommend!

Graham “5 star! A wonderful home from home, with everything you could ask for; well presented, clean and tidy.”
A lovely large garden, comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen, high chair, cot and even dog bowls! The property is on a quiet lane close to the centre of this small town, with everything you need, lovely walks for the dog, and a short drive to lovely towns like Holt. Would we recommend to friends? absolutely!
- Graham, March 2014 -
Rowena “Aylsham is a beautiful little village, and such a welcome break from London.”
We had an absolutely lovely time, and it is mainly down to the owner's dedication and attention to detail within the property. This is obviously a well looked after, beautiful family home, and anyone staying here should feel privileged! She has decorated the house beautifully, it is a lovely country cottage, and everything is of very high quality. We could not recommend this cottage highly enough, and we will definitely be back!
