“Very homely cottage with everything we needed for a lovely relaxing week.”

Lots of places to visit within a short drive and the cottage itself is in a peaceful location, surrounded by countryside. The enclosed garden was also great for our dog to be able to go out safely. Owners on hand if we had needed anything. We had a great week and are likely to return. Thank you.

“Such a beautifully clean & well appointed cottage.”

Everything you needed for a holiday stay was catered for with an added bonus of a welcome pack on arrival which was so thoughtful. A great comfortable, cosy & quiet place to holiday, surrounded by lovely views across the countryside. We had a such a wonderful holiday & would definitely return.

- John, September 2024
Keith September 2024

“Fantastic holiday cottage, we had a great time exploring Norfolk and it was great to come back to The Meadows Cottage after a day out and to be able to relax in the evenings.”

Great that they allow dogs and the garden is completely secure even for my escapee!

- Sally, August 2024
June Ashley July 2024

“The bungalow was exactly as describe.”

The rooms were large and all the beds were extreeeemly comfortable. The cake and biscuits were great and made for a treat upon arrival. The owners were very friendly when we arrived (make sure you check out all the artwork in the building as most was done by the owner and is really really good). The dogs loved the garden as it was very safe and large enough for them to run around. It is located with in easy reach of lots of attractions if that is your thing or if you are in to walking there are great places to get to. All in all we had a very very pleasant holiday.

- June Ashley, July 2024
Doris June 2024

- Gaynor, May 2024
Carole April 2024

“We had a lovely relaxing week at The Meadows Cottage, the only noise you hear is the birds singing!”

The property was perfect for our needs - plenty of space, well-equipped and a large secure garden for our dog. The owners were very friendly and keen to ensure that we had everything we needed, the welcome cake and biscuits were very much appreciated.

- Carole, April 2024
David March 2024

“We arrived late and tired in the wettest most dismal week of the year to a wonderfully warm and welcoming cottage.”

Tea tray laid out ready with cake and biscuits for us and for the dogs, heating on in every room and the log fire stacked ready to light. Meadows Cottage is both spacious and cosy, comfortable and well equipped and truly wheelchair accessible, except for the kitchen (which was a relief as I needed a break from kitchen duties). The garden is self contained so we could let the dogs out freely. The hosts are generous, kind and helpful without being intrusive. Half an hour's drive will get you to most of the costal walks and the local Garden Centre do a great full English breakfast if you need a morning treat. We will return.

- David, March 2024

Barry October 2023

“Lovely cottage has tile flooring which can be cold, the heaters were very good and warmed the place quickly.”

Wheelchair access was good but some of the angles were a little tight,so please give consideration when holidaying here.kitchen was my favourite room very cosy. Easy access to the garden. The owner was very friendly and helpful, easly driveable to location's. Definitely want to go back in the summer.

- Barry, October 2023
Patricia October 2023

“We all had a lovely holiday, the cottage was in a quiet place but close enough to visit the coast and attractions, or just have quiet days indoors.”

The cottage had all we needed, was big and spacious, the owners came to greet us when we arrived (lovely people) and were on hand to answer any questions, in the property they had left us a few necessities, milk, coffee, tea and also a gift of cookies and cake, much appreciate. Will definitely be going back

- Patricia, October 2023
Doreen September 2023

“It was lovely.”

Very clean and comfortable. My two little dogs loved the garden which was very secure. Patio a real sun trap in the afternoon. Hope to return.

- Doreen, September 2023
Julie September 2023

“The property was very well maintained and equipped.”

It had a cosy charm and was situated in a tranquil edge of village location. One of our party had mobility issues and the cottage was perfectly adapted for her wheelchair. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Just a note to say that a maximum of 2 cars can easily park on the drive.

- Julie, September 2023
Martyn June 2023

“Beautiful cottage kept to a very high standard in a wonderful setting.”

Sam May 2023

“Lovely cottage with great facilities, and everything you could possibly need, comfortable beds!”

Remote peaceful location great for exploring the area's around Norfolk. Garden was totally secure even for my 4kg Pomchi! . Owners where helpful and very friendly; they didn't intrude at all but where avaliable if you had any problems or questions.

- Sam, May 2023
Ann April 2023

“This cottage is almost* perfect - very well equipped, comfortable and with a fully enclosed private garden.”

It’s off the beaten track, and the only sounds you’ll hear are bird songs and the hammering of woodpeckers. Our party included a wheelchair user and a dog. There’s plenty of space; the large master bedroom, wet room and wide doors make it totally accessible. It’s within easy driving distance of numerous attractions, including Walsingham, Cromer, Wells and Holkham. We would very happily come back, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Meadows Cottage. * The only thing that stops it being totally perfect is the chilly bathroom! Probably not a problem in the warmer months, though.

- Ann, April 2023
Elizabeth March 2023

A February 2023

“We had a great time in the cottage.”

It is in a fabulous area with lots of walks with our dogs. The beds were very comfy the towels and all the little extras we fabulous. The only negatives were the shower as the floor was very mouldy and not nice. All the other parts of the bathroom were fine. The other problem was the fire was very smoky. We respected the property and we never left then alone. We would definitely be back if we visit our son in Norwich.

- A, February 2023
Justin February 2023

“A perfect place to stay for a relaxing break , with everything you could possibly need.”

- Justin, February 2023
Karen November 2022

“Lovely stay as usual.”

Very comfortable, every thing you could need provided. Made very welcome. Eala & Rico adore the secure garden. So nice to curl up in front of the log fire on a cold November evening. Perfect holiday, will be back next year. Thank you.

- Karen, November 2022
Christine September 2022

“We had a wonderful stay at The Meadows Cottage.”

Adrienne was very welcoming with some lovely treats & even went out of her way to get my wife some Gluten Free treats. We had a very relaxing 2 week stay in this very spacious cottage which is fully accessible by wheelchair. Kitchen has everything you could want for your stay with lots of storage bedrooms spacious clean and well decorated. Good wifi connection which is important these days. Cottage has it's own private area surrounded by beautiful gardens and private patio a real credit to the Cottages owners who work very hard to maintain them. The Satnav took us way past the cottage so please be aware when travelling in down Billingford Road (B1145) and turn in to Bintree Road continue on past a big black barn looking building for a further 1/2 mile & the turn into the Meadows cottage is on your left just before the National speed limit signs with a sign for Meadows cottage on you're left.

- Christine, September 2022
Peter July 2022

“A lovely homely spacious and well equipped cottage with easy access to all facilities for the 90 year old mobility challenged member of our family.”

We valued our hosts personal welcome and the willingness to make our stay enjoyable.

- Peter, July 2022
Hilary June 2022

“They had an award back in 2017 and I can see that it’s well deserved.”

We always do quite a lot of cooking and the hob of the oven has lost most of its switch markings. I and many others have probably turned the dial clockwise thinking it’s low heat and found it the hottest setting. The settings are in fact anti clockwise. Hence the Prestige pans have been heated very high and have concave bases. They only touch at the edges and take ages to warm up. Suggest a note re hob settings are clearly apparent to everyone. (The instructions were printed and in a drawer next to the cooker) This is the only comment I have picked up on and it’s trivial in the scheme of things. (Has been discussed with the owners) The owners on site are really lovely people and a pleasure to associate with. In conclusion we found the holiday home one of the best we have stayed in to date.

Rose May 2022

“The property was very nice.”

Just needed a little more cleaning eg under sofas beds and lots of cobwebs around ceilings. Shower poor with low water pressure.

- Rose, May 2022

We are sorry you were disappointed with some aspects of the cottage. The shower is not a power shower but rather electric and the pressure is usually good. As for cobwebs, we are in the countryside but do check weekly and the cottage is cleaned thoroughly before every visit. It is extremely rare, if ever, that we receive a complaint of this nature. It should be noted that we do live onsite and encourage people on arrival to let us know of any problems during their stay so we can address any issues in a timely manner. Once again, we are sorry you were disappointed. Property Owner

Stacie April 2022

“Everything you need under one roof.”

The children were delighted with their Easter cookies on arrival and even some doggy treats for our Cockapoo, we highly recommend and will book again :)

- Stacie, April 2022
Matthew March 2022

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful location, very spacious.”

Met with treats for both humans and the dogs and even milk in the fridge. Welcomed shortly after arrival and left alone from then on with complete privacy whilst having veiws out over the owners meadow.

- Matthew, March 2022
Lauren March 2022

“Lovely cottage with easy access to a variety of places nearby.”

The friendly owners checked we were ok and left tea bags, milk and a cake on arrival. The cottage itself was clean, comfortable beds, plenty of towels, lots of seating in the lounge and dining table. There were lots of books and games for adults and kids, and the kids enjoyed the playhouses and ride on cars in the garden. The extra downstairs toilet was a welcome surprise. My only suggestions would be to have a mirror in the toilet and twin bedrooms. Also perhaps a shoe rack and more hooks for coats near the entrance way as it did get a bit cluttered with 6 lots of each! Overall a great stay and with so many places still to visit would like to return.

- Lauren, March 2022
Amanda December 2021

“We spent 3 nights at Meadows Cottage and will definitely be returning.”

Good enclosed garden for dog. Less than an hours drive to Hunstanton, Sandringham, Walsingham etc. Walks for the dog. It was lovely to find in the information book, mentions of places to eat & dog friendly, we went to one listed & the food was excellent. The lady owner was very friendly & nice. Lovely stay.

- Julie, November 2021
Elaine October 2021

“We spent a week at The Meadows 4 adults, 1 wheelchair user and 1 dog.”

Facilities were excellent, cleanliness excellent. Lovely cottage. Very welcoming. The extra touch of a welcome pack was a lovely surprise. The owner checked in with us a couple of times which was very also welcoming. Would definitely go back.

Kimberly July 2021

“We had a very pleasant stay in this lovely cottage in Norfolk.”

The Meadows Cottage is a comfortable and spacious cottage and was perfect for our family break. It was extremely clean on arrival and everything was in good working order. We found the layout was perfect for us as a family with grandparents and two children under 5 and a dog. The children were happy playing in the secure garden, we could sit in the living room and chat with the doors open and see them playing. There were two little playhouses and some toddler play cars in the garden which our children enjoyed. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, leaving us some lovely treats at the beginning of our stay and coming to chat to us at the beginning and end of our stay to make sure everything was ok. The guide which the owner had left was excellent for finding local restaurants, takeaways, and days out. The property is close to some beautiful woods to walk our dog in and was a great base from which to explore Norfolk. Locally, the garden centre at Bawdeswell was excellent with a large play area for kids and some nice shops. The kids loved Roar!! Dinosaur adventure park at Lenwade. We were able to get to beaches like Wells and Holkham early to get parked and enjoy the day. All in all a great little cottage and a wonderful stay.

- Kimberly, July 2021

We had a wonderful holiday in Billingford, however Sykes behaviour a year ago in taking payment for a holiday that was impossible to have, was shameful and therefore it is extremely unlikely that we will ever use you again

Simon December 2019

“Great cottage in an exceedingly quiet location, had everything we needed, decorated for Christmas, mince pies, cupcakes, and lots more.”

Took a while to warm it up when we first arrived, but other than that, no complaints. Owners were friendly, helpful, but kept out of our way.

- Simon, December 2019
Caroline November 2019

“(I and my friend, Linda Head, have booked many holidays over the years with you - I have lost count!”

Over all that time we have been aware that your company has grown. Yet we still receive the same service, efficiency and attention that we had when we first started using your company. We thank you for that.) We visited The Meadows Cottage 3 years ago in November and returned last week to help me celebrate my 60th birthday. As last time we had a wonderful, relaxing, tranquil stay. The property is very clean, tidy and comfortable. The bathroom is excellent and Linda, who has MS but is not a wheelchair user, finds it very accessible and safe to use. We had 2 dogs with us in 2016 but only have the one now but we know he is safe and secure when let out into the enclosed garden surrounding the house. The owners are very welcoming and available without being intrusive. They add little touches that really make it a home from home. I understand that it is a very popular property but if I can sort my annual leave next year then we will definitely look forward to returning!

- Caroline, November 2019

“The cottage is very spacious yet warm, well maintained, clean and well equipped.”

It had everything we needed for a great stay and was centrally located for trips to the coast, as well as inland attractions. The owner is very welcoming and helpful, and left us milk and delicious cupcakes for our arrival. Despite torrential rain at times it was a great holiday and if we decide to return to Norfolk we would definitely book again.

Charlotte December 2018

“The cottage was even better than the pictures.”

The owners make the cottage very welcoming and we had it decked out for Christmas. Our Christmas welcome included home made mince pies, festive cup cakes and some mulled wine! Coming over from Australia it was a lovely surprise and our stay was very warm and comfortable. The owners are friendly and helpful without being invasive. When we return to England and Norfolk again in the future we will definitely book in again. As a side note I really enjoyed the art work, which is done by the owners son, and bought a couple of prints to take home. Thank you for a lovely stay.

- Charlotte, December 2018
Marina August 2018

- Peter, June 2018
Janet March 2018

“We had a particularly warm welcome in the form of a tray of home-baked fairy cakes and a bowl of biscuits for the dogs.”

The owners were on hand and were extremely helpful. Although the weather was not very good we still had a lovely family holiday. The cottage was very well equipped with toys and books for young children and books and DVDs suitable for the adults. With the toilets very close to one of the bedrooms (all downstairs) it was particularly suitable for my mother who has dementia as she could easily find her way around. The cottage was decorated to a high standard and was very homely. If we were to come back to this part of the country for our next cottage hire we would definitely consider this one again.

- Janet, March 2018
Tracey March 2018

“We had a wonderful few days at The Meadows Cottage.”

The facilities were superb. It was spotlessly clean, with good quality pots, pans crockery etc. There are great walks for dogs right on the doorstep with good level ground. For young families there is a huge range of toys & games, and the garden & patio are very secure for both dogs & children. Adrienne was a lovely host - very welcoming and, as everyone else has said, the cupcakes were fab! Molly says thank you for the biscuits! See you again soon. Tracey, Nora and Jan

Aklasur December 2017

“My group of friends and I have regular cottage breaks across the country.”

However, this cottage surpassed our expectation. It was far better than I thought and as the person who made the booking, I can honestly say it was value for money. The cottage itself was beautiful, the space around was great, it was very easy to access, the actual cottage itself was looked after, there was a selection of complimentary cupcakes provided by the owners which was just heavenly. Overall the experience was fantastic - even though the weather was not in our favour, the cottage itself did not let us down and was a great experience. I will be doing another booking for this cottage for some time in the summer as it was that good. Highly recommend anyone to book this.

- Aklasur, December 2017
George November 2017

Lovely peaceful cottage located in a position that many lovely locations were easy to get to we would happily recommend to others and so would our dogs who loved the location

- Marion, September 2016
Diane September 2016

“The owners of this single story cottage have clearly put much thought into including a range of facilities to accommodate young children, dogs and some disabled holiday makers.”

When we arrived, we were impressed how immaculately clean the cottage was. There were vases of flowers which gave us a welcoming feeling and some delicious cup cakes. We took two small dogs with us and they could run free, safely, in an enclosed garden. A hose pipe was provided to wash the patio clean if the dogs did their toilet there. Disabled holiday makers should note that whilst the cottage has a highish toilet, a grab handle, wheelchair ramp, wide doors and a wet room, there was no hydraulic hoist or others such appliances. I, myself, suffer with Parkinsons, I can still walk and I found the cottage easy to get around. Some people with severe mobility problems would do well to speak with the cottage owner prior to making a booking to discuss their specific needs. This holiday cottage is ideally suitable for people who are not taking children, or dogs who just want a relaxing holiday in the country. There is a table and chairs on the patio which catches the afternoon and evening sun. A superb facility to wile away the hours with a bottle of wine. There is a wonderful book in the lounge which contains lots of ideas of places to visit, including walks and so on. To sum up; we have stayed at many holiday homes in recent years and they have always been good, but this cottage is the best in our opinion.

“The property was first class, everything was perfect.”

The weather wasn't that good but with such a nice place to stay, it really didn't matter. The owners have thought of everything and there wasn't anything you would need that wasn't supplied. We have never stayed anywhere as good. Well done to the owners! Thank you.

- Michael, June 2016
Graeme May 2016
