“Superbly equipped property.”

We have stayed here twice, once in summer and most recently in winter. Both occasions we enjoyed our stay. Owners welocmegift of wine milk and biscuits was greatly appreciated. Easy access from reserved car parking space on driveway. Comfortable recliner chairs in lounge. Fully equipped kitchen. Electric radiators in rooms make this a comfortable cosy place to stay even in winter. Lovely view from patio doors onto owners extensive garden

“Norbank was the first Studio we had ever stayed in.”

What an absolute gem! Everything was perfect. From the greeting from the owners until we had to sadly leave. The Studio inside had everything you could wish for a fabulous week. The grounds were beautifully tended. Fruit trees. Huge well tended lawn. P.Y.O fruit and vegetables thanks to the kindness of the Owners. Totally recommended for couples who enjoy peace, quiet and comfort.

Derek June 2024

“We were looking for a quiet relaxing break after a period of a heavy work schedule and prolonged ill health.”

Our thanks goes to Ann and Terry for providing such a wonderful place. Comfortably appointed internally, views out to the gardens from the lounge/kitchen, comfortable bed, outstanding en-suite. Convenient location for most of North Norfolk plus the bonus of Bressingham Gardens and Steam Museum 3-5 minutes walk away. The Norbank Studio is a must try, so much so, we're going back in November.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are so pleased to hear the you enjoyed your stay in the studio, and delighted you have chosen to return in November. We look forward to welcoming you back. Until then, best wishes, Ann and Terry Property Owner

Good kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Great electric reclining arm chairs. Good size TV. Treats left for us as well as milk etc. Even though the studio is in the owners large garden, it is very private, the patio doors look out onto the garden. Lots of walks around Diss and surrounding areas. Couldn’t fault the property. Thanks.

Anna October 2023

“What a fantastic retreat.”

Very handy for all of the surrounding towns, villages and attractions of the area; yet tucked away from everything to be a little haven of peace. The studio itself is fantastic. We went during October and found it lovely and warm, and very cosy for the cold evenings. It has everything you need for a stay.

- Anna, October 2023

We are really pleased you enjoyed your visit to Norfolk and your stay in the studio. We do try our best to make it comfortable for guests so we’re glad to hear you was warm and cozy Property Owner

“Bed was not the most comfortable we have had but on the other hand the recliner chairs in the living room were excellent.”

Really enjoyed the two weeks.

- Brian, July 2023

We are so sorry to hear you found the bed uncomfortable Brian, particularly as you stayed with us for two weeks.

Best wishes Ann & Terry Property Owner

“We have personally thanked Ann and Terry but we couldn't have wished for better.”

We arrived for xmas and the new year. A lovely xmas welcome package including a xmas tree. And on NYE a surprise visit from Terry with a beautiful bottle of wine and patty poppers for us to see the new year in. Cabin was perfect in all ways. Thank you.

Thank you.

- Mark, December 2022
Terry November 2022

“Ideal cottage for 2 in a great location for visiting both Norfolk and Suffolk.”

Very well maintained property equipped with everything we needed for a lovely stay. The owners are a lovely couple who are on hand if needed but give you all the privacy and peace and quiet that the property is perfect for. A lovely rural setting with pubs and major supermarkets 5 mins from the door and plenty of great places to visit within easy reach. We will be returning, many thanks.

- Terry, November 2022

Thank you for your comments, it's so nice to hear that guests have enjoyed their stay. We look forward to seeing you again if you do decide to return. Best wishes, Ann and Terry Property Owner

“Norbank Studios are located in a beautiful serene location within easy reach of several coastal towns.”

The accommodation was clean, cosy, and comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. All in all we would highly recommend this property.

- Patricia, November 2022

Thank you for your feedback. It’s good to read that you enjoyed your stay. We’re sorry we were away at the same time and didn’t get a chance to meet you properly but at least we got a chance of a quick chat on Sunday before you left ! Best wishes Ann & Terry Property Owner
Angela September 2022

“This is a lovely holiday place, set in extensive grounds in the owners garden but far enough away to be private.”

The hosts Ann and Terry are lovely and are on hand if you need them. Ideal for a single person or a couple, it is very comfortable with a patio, garden furniture and a laundry attached to the back of the building. There is a large pond with ducks and a regular visit from a green woodpecker. We would not hesitate to return. We loved it.

- Angela, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback, we’re pleased you enjoyed your stay. If you do return we look forward to welcoming you again. Best wishes, Ann and Terry Property Owner
Anthony August 2022

“Ann was really helpful prior to our arrival.”

We bumped into Terry whilst unloading the car and was presented with some home grown courgettes and a medley of delicious tomatoes. Added to which Ann had left us a scrumptious cream tea. A nice garden with ample room to relax, we were entertained by the ducks and even a woodpecker. Well equipped and spotlessly clean accommodation.

- Anthony, August 2022

Thank you so much for your kind comments. It’s nice to know our small gestures to make guests feel welcome are appreciated.. Best wishes , Ann & Terry Property Owner
Tim July 2022

“Such a beautiful property in a lovely setting.”

We really enjoyed our stay. It's perfect for two people. Very relaxing. It's very well equipped with everything you could possibly need and spotlessly clean. The cream tea and milk on arrival was very much appreciated as was the fresh produce from the owners garden. The deer and ducks in the huge garden kept us entertained. It's an ideal base to explore Norfolk and Suffolk. Bressingham Steam Museum is just across the road with a restaurant and garden centre next door. Thank you Terry and Ann for a lovely stay .

- Tim, July 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay here. Now that you know where we are perhaps we’ll see you again Property Owner
Alan July 2022

“We had a really fantastic week at Norbank studio.”

The setting in the beautiful garden was perfect. Terry & Ann were the perfect hosts. We mentioned to them it was my wife’s birthday and they brought a card & bottle of wine! That’s how kind and friendly they were. Terry also gave us fresh produce from his vegetable patch. Don’t hesitate to book here, you certainly won’t be disappointed!!

- Alan, July 2022

Thank you Alan for such a positive review. We do our best to make everyone feel welcome here at Norbank and so it's good to hear our efforts are appreciated. Sending very best wishes to you both, Ann & Terry Property Owner

“We had a lovely week in the perfect setting.”

The studio was exactly what we wanted, comfortable and super clean in a lovely big garden with countryside views. Ann and Terry were so nice and did everything to make us so welcome including scrummy biscuits. It felt like a home from home. Thank you very much !

- Richard, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We’re so pleased everything was as you wanted. Perhaps we’ll see you again sometime. Best wishes, Ann and Terry Property Owner

Margery March 2022

“A relaxing retreat, what gem found on your website.”

Excellent holiday studio for two or solo. A warm welcome. Spent very peaceful time, lovely central position not far from all the amenities Norfolk has to offer. Wonderful garden to watch the wildlife! Good garden centre beside steam railway just along the main road great for coffee and home cooked food as well as plants and shopping! Very relaxing

- Margery, March 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased you were able to rest and take it easy during your time here. Take care. Sending our very best wishes for the future, Ann and Terry Property Owner
John March 2022

“We had a wonderful week in the Studio.”

On arrival we were made very welcome which included a card, lovely refreshments and biscuits, an immaculately clean Studio with every facility for the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The gardens were private and beautifully kept for us to appreciate whilst sitting on the patio and looking out at whilst indoors on the settee. Parking was easy and with a reserved place near the Studio. We appreciated all that Terry and Ann had done to make our stay just perfect.

- John, March 2022

Thank you for feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay in our garden studio. Very best wishes to you both. Terry and Ann Property Owner
Lisa December 2021

“The studio was comfortable, clean and welcoming.”

Just right for one due to bedroom storage being small but understandable as the accommodation is just a studio so you would expect the storage to reflect this. Felt very comfortable throughout the stay and the owners had made sure everything was clean and covid compliant so certainly felt safe staying there.

- Lisa, December 2021
David December 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our December stay in the Garden Studio which, on top of being well equipped and spotlessly clean, was a lovely warm refuge from the colder than normal weather we "enjoyed".”

We found it's location ideal and made easy work of visiting Diss and Thetford, Southwold, Stowmarket and Norwich with Attleborough and Wymondham en route. All delightful in their own way with typical Norfolk / Suffolk charm that never goes away..... Hosts Ann and Terry were most helpful to us and we give them our warmest thanks for their help. Most happy to recommend.

- David, December 2021

Thank you for your kind comments . We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Norbank. Property Owner
Julie October 2021

“What a lovely holiday place to stay.”

Great outlook onto a large garden & fields. Very relaxing & peaceful. Village shop was handy. Can't wait to go back! Cream tea in fridge on arrival was fab.

- Julie, October 2021
Denise August 2021

“This was our second visit to Norbank and we will definitely return.”

The studio is very clean and well equipped for two people and is set in the owner's lovely large garden. Terry and Ann are friendly and helpful, we had a supply of delicious veg from their garden. It is an ideal place to relax and enjoy the tranquililty.

- Denise, August 2021
Lydia August 2021

“We loved our stay at Norbank Garden Studio.”

The accommodation is perfect for 2 and is set in the owner's beautiful garden, very peaceful and relaxing. At night we enjoyed looking at the stars as there is no light pollution. Bressingham Steam Gardens is down the road and we really enjoyed our visit and even popped back for lunch in the middle of our day! The Studio is more inland but that did not stop us from travelling, we went to Sutton Hoo, Gressenhall Workhouse, had a trip on the North Norfolk Railway and a steamer on the Broads. The owners really made us feel welcome and Terry kindly gave us some beautiful vegetables out of his garden. Don't hesitate to book its just the sort of place to relax and unwind.

- Lydia, August 2021
Susan July 2021

“Second visit and won’t be the last.”

Lovely studio, well equipped and comfortable. Great garden. Exceptional hosts. Close to shops/restaurants, and the lovely Bressingham Gardens Plenty of places of interest within easy reach.

- Susan, July 2021
Malcolm June 2021

“Just being able to relax and chill in lovely surroundings, with really nice down to earth owners.”

Thanks to Ann and Terry.

- Malcolm, June 2021
Geoffrey June 2021

“Lovely and clean, fresh smelling, airy, bright and with a beautiful outlook onto the huge garden at the back.”

All the facilities that are needed are there and Ann and Terry are always available for any help if required. Located centrally to visit Norfolk and it's surrounding areas and we were blessed with beautiful sunny warm days. Just a pity that the Covid situation continues to keep many visitor attractions closed at the moment.

- Geoffrey, June 2021
David May 2021

“We thought it was an excellent base to visit Norfolk.”

The hosts were very welcoming and amenable. They went out of their way to help us. The studio was spotless and very comfortable. Well done. Would definately recommend.

- David, May 2021
Jim May 2021

“A friendly welcome, very well-appointed accommodation and spotlessly clean.”

An excellent, relaxing, short-break.

- Jim, May 2021
Martin April 2021

“Ann & Terry have the perfect balance between ensuring privacy and providing support if required.”

The studio was brilliant and the setting was superb, we would definitely return and recommend to friends and family.

- Martin, April 2021
Cathy April 2021

“It was the cleanest accommodation I've ever stayed in!”

Although it was built within the last 5 years by the owner, he has already started redecorating the outside again. The bed was firm and extremely comfortable. Just the right size for two people, and very central to everything we wanted to see ... Cromer, Southwold & The Broads, of course.

- Cathy, April 2021
Susan October 2020

“This property is very comfortable, cosy, well equipped and very clean.”

The studio has been thoughtfully furnished and equipped with good quality items. The garden is lovely and we look forward to returning in better weather to take advantage of it. The owners are friendly, very helpful and immediately respond to any query. There is plenty of interest in the immediate area, and there are supermarkets and restaurants within 10minutes drive.

- Susan, October 2020
Ian September 2020

“Fab week very welcoming, clean and felt very safe during these strange times.”

Excellent value for money. Would definitely book again.

- Ian, September 2020

Still spotlessly clean, a lovely location with owners who care. We will be booking again x

- Helen, September 2020
Brian July 2020

Richard March 2020

“The accommodation was very clean, smart and well-equipped.”

It is well laid out with a decent amount of room for one or two people, and has a pleasant outlook. The hosts are friendly and helpful. I would happily visit again and would recommend the property to others.

- Richard, March 2020
Toni February 2020

“Fabulous garden studio.”

Very well appointed, everything you need. Lovely touch with some welcome valentines chocolates and fizz Lovely peaceful grounds Comfortable bed. Owners very friendly. Property is within touching distance of Bressingham Steam Museum (sadly closed at the weekend because of storm Dennis). We ate at The White Hart Inn at Roydon and had a great meal. Overall a wonderful mini break and I can imagine the studio is even more perfect in the summer. We’d love to visit again.

- Toni, February 2020
Roger January 2020

“Great little place, well equipped, comfortable and convenient.”

- Roger, January 2020
Hugh December 2019

“I stayed here whilst moving home.”

The accomodation was excellent with living room, bedroom and bathroom, all of which were spotless. There were also facilities for laundry. The rooms are separate from the main house and the owners are both friendly and helpful but are happy to leave guests alone if they want privacy. Due to its location in large gardens it gives a feeling of independence. So for anyone looking for peaceful accommodation of a high standard close to Diss and the beautiful Waveney Valley, this is ideal.

- Hugh, December 2019
Keith November 2019

“Terry and Anne the owners gave us a lovely welcome when we arrived.”

The area is a lovely place waking up in the morning looking out of the patio doors down a lovely garden onto open views of the country side will be going back that's for sure.

- Keith, November 2019
Dianne October 2019

“We booked the studio as a bolt hole for house hunting and it served us well.”

The kitchen is very well equipped. The bed and sofa are very comfortable. WiFi and TV excellent. The views from kitchen window and patio doors are just wonderful. The owners also proved a tray with scones and clotted cream on our arrival - very nice touch.

- Dianne, October 2019
Audrie October 2019

“We were able to book this cottage within two weeks of staying ( for 3 nights ) which was good for us as we had to attend a family funeral in Risby.”

We were met by Terry on arrival who was welcoming and showed us to the cottage. There was a tray set out on the table with teapot, two china cups and plates and two scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream with a pint of milk in the fridge It is a lovely cottage with comfortable seating area, a dining table for two and a kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, fridge ( with freezer compartment large enough for a loaf and perhaps another couple of small items ). There is a large TV, DVD player and electric stove. The bedroom is comfortable with drawers and just a hanging rail for clothes. The bathroom had a large shower cubicle etc. and the whole cottage is decorated very well. The view across the garden is lovely. We enjoyed our stay even though it was under difficult circumstances for us. The only things I would suggest would be provision of some kitchen roll ( I had brought some with me ) and some way of drying bathroom towels - do not know if a towel radiator would be an option ? There is a shared utility room with washer, dryer, ironing board/iron which we did not use but would be a great facility for a longer stay - as would a freezer. Anne was very friendly and sympathetic to our situation and it was a pleasure chatting to her. We are grateful for having a place to stay which was so homely - thanks. ( Directions said turn onto School Road but was actually Low Lane ? )

- Audrie, October 2019

“This cottage was small but perfectly formed.”

The heaters provided kept us really cosy. The bed was very comfortable. This is not always the case - I have arthritis and a good night's sleep is always appreciated. The shower was nice and easy to use and the area was very pleasant. Our hosts were nice, friendly but unobtrusive folk. There was easy parking and a very nice garden.

“We found this wooden built garden studio to be perfect for our week's stay, clean and well equipped.”

The owner greeted us on arrival, there were scones, cream and jam too with cucumber and tomatoes from their vegetable plot being left outside our door one day. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this garden studio or the other converted building next to but detached from the main house, we have stayed in both.

“There was a welcome tray which was lovely.”

We picked this place as it was near to Thretford forest as my husband went to do bike trails at Thretford forest lodge, this was quite expensive if you were there all day, but great for a family day at £12.50. For bike riding be early 7.45 open of gates out before 11am charge £3.00 in that time two trails can be ridden. Diss is a lovely little town with three supermarkets! Boat trip on the fens was lovely £19.00 for two adults trip lasted 1.5 hrs at Wroxham, again need to be early for the 10.30 trip when we got back the car park was full and people unable to park. Thorpe abbots 100th bombardment memorial museum was amazing, run by volunteers, open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, with a cafe, so much to see if your interested in ww2. Free entry. However, due to the intensity of the weather 35 Deg. most days this week we were not able to walk as much as we had wanted.

“Second visit to Bressingham have stayed in both norbank properties and would recommend them highly which we have.”

Beautiful peaceful place ideal for sightseeing Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge. Ann and Terry warm friendly people who make you feel very welcome. We have already booked for next year. Nothing negative to say about either properties very clean with everything you need home from home on a smaller scale. If your thinking of booking go for it you wont be diappointed

“This is the second year we have booked Norbank Garden Studio and our experience was just as pleasant as before.”

The facilities provided were more than adequate with the hosts Terry & Ann providing a friendly, personable and relaxing stay. As mentioned in a previous review, some sort of shade from the sun would benefit the west facing Garden Studio immensely but not having this did not in anyway dampen our enjoyment. Thank you, once again Terry for sharing your garden produce with us it was very much appreciated. We were also fascinated to see each day the developing relationship of a Muntjac deer and the owners cat in the garden. Hope it doesn’t end in tears! Looking forward to returning very soon.

“We had a really comfortable and relaxing week.”

As it was so hot and sunny we could have done with a sun umbrella over the patio table. The only other comment would be to have towel rails in the shower room. Other than these comments we were really happy with The Studio. Owners were delightful.

“We had a lovely time at the studio.”

Very quiet and peaceful and it has everything you need for your stay.There is lots to see and do not too far away.Grimes graves was my favourite and Bury St Edmonds is lovely.Norwich is great if you like shopping but we went for the cathedral and history.Best to use park and ride as it gets busy

“We really enjoyed our stay at Norbank studio cottage.”

Very warm welcome from Terry and Anne. The cream tea awaiting on arrival was a nice surprise.We also enjoyed watching all the wild life in the garden we even saw a couple of Muntjac deer one evening. The cottage was vey comfortable,clean and well appointed.

“In my opinion this very clean studio was more suited to summer or warmer weather as it had only 2 small oil filled electric heaters.”

Unfortunate for me the weather was minus 5 with heavy frost and even snow on one day. Also the owner Terry was kind enough to come and tell me the electric would be off for a couple of hours on Wednesday 7th due to some overhead power cables that needed working on. Not ideal when everything in the studio was running on electric. I also found it quite difficult to sleep as I could hear the noise of the traffic on the very busy A1066 which was only a short distance from the studio. I decided to come home a day early due to these reasons. The studio was exceptionally clean and fresh with Terry the owner being very helpful.

“What made this holiday experience unique was the friendliness and generosity of the owners Terry & Anne Betts.”

They were most welcoming without being intrusive. The accommodation we felt was second to none and met or exceeded all our expectations.
